Hands-on classes for homeschoolers
This month began with a trip to Fort Wilderness to teach the TruNorth students (a gap year leadership and discipleship program). I am grateful to have the privilege of teaching these young people who are always eager to learn and grow. The topics for the three classes were Biblical Contradictions, Biblical Archaeology, and Evidence for the Resurrection. I was invited to partake in the Christian Home Educators of Wisconsin (CHEW) conference as a vendor and a speaker. We sold a few books and made some good connections at our booth. I led three of the various workshops that were offered. I had a full house promoting our Marine Biology program, with many people expressing interest in attending. The class on Oysters & Pearls was overflowing with kids anxious to dissect an oyster to discover a pearl. The lesson we can learn from oysters is how to make something beautiful out of our “grains of sand”. That lesson profoundly spoke to a family struggling with medical issues. Mom said, “I know it was a divine meeting and such a highlight of the conference!” I also presented a class on Science & the Bible unfolding how the science found in the Bible is completely accurate. We received tremendous feedback in response to these workshops. I ended the month at another homeschool event, Chicago Home Educators Summit. At this one I taught two hands-on classes for the kids in attendance. I repeated the Oysters & Pearls class and also did one on What’s the Deal with Fossils? This class presents evidence for the flood. It was a little messy as they buried their own fossils, but the kids loved it!

It’s crunch time!
We have only three weeks until the Marine Biology trip so that means it’s crunch time! There are so many details involved in putting together a trip like this and we have already been working for months. I always say that planning for the next trip begins immediately after this one is completed. So, since we have been preoccupied with planning and preparations, other things (like production) have had to take a back seat. This year we have 26 students participating, 14 staff, and 2 children. Won’t you please join us in praying for no issues with the flights, safety, bonding, spiritual impact, and good weather. Watch for daily updates on our social media platforms!
From 4 to 6 Staff!!
E4F has expanded from 4 ministry servants to 6!! Isabel Kolste has joined E4F as the new Marketing Specialist and Michaela Vorwerk (my daughter) as our new Communications Manager. Isabel believes this opportunity is a perfect fit to combine her interest in history with her marketing skills and love for the Lord. Michaela has been contemplating the idea of cutting back on her horse business to find a daytime job to accommodate her family and make them a priority. It took a riding accident which resulted in a broken leg to make her pause and seek God’s will. He “plopped” the Communications Manager position in her lap. She’s looking forward to working with us in ministry once again helping to spread the accuracy of the Bible. Welcome to E4F Isabel and Michaela!! We are so thrilled to have you and can’t wait to see how God uses you! Pray for our new team as we defend and confirm the gospel!
Julia, our Business Manager, set a five-month contract with us from October 2024 – March 2025 to help kickstart the ministry and prepare us for our two new staff. As she concludes her time at E4F, we thank our Father in heaven and celebrate her for all she has accomplished for God here at Evidence 4 Faith.
