A Busy Month!
With the Marine Biology Trip now complete, I have been able to move on to other projects. Less than one week after returning from the Florida Keys, I travelled to Baraboo, Wisconsin to teach at a men’s retreat hosted by Walnut Hill. I spoke on the topic I titled, “Trust and Obey”, where I featured topics on the historical evidence supporting the Bible, prompting the men to trust that it is accurate and not man-made, and then encouraging them to study and obey it. The Spirit worked in mighty ways, and I received great feedback from many of the men attending and I was bombarded with many questions at the end. They said that they would like to have me return to their next event. I have then spent the past few weeks recording the podcast series “Is the Bible Full of Errors and Contradictions?”, which was the topic for the Bible Sessions on the Marine Biology Trip. And I am now working on writing more podcasts for the series “David and the Giants” and videos for the “Unpacking Darwinian Evolution” series. We are also now preparing for the Illinois Christian Home Educators Conference (ICHE), where I will be offering several classes to participants of all ages. This conference will be taking place at Olivet Nazarene University.

Not Our Will, But His
Unfortunately, June is going to look a little different from what we had planned. I will be undergoing back surgery on June 11, with likely another neck surgery at a later date, as I have been experiencing several health issues that the doctors are thinking are in relation to issues along my spine. This has caused me to have to cancel my speaking engagements for the end of June. I was devasted to do so, but I am trusting that the Lord is in control and that He has a plan for not only me, but the ministry as well. I am praying for a quick recovery and that I will be able to get back to writing lessons and speaking in no time!
Keep Us In Your Prayers
“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” Ephesians 6:18 NLT
- Michael will be having back surgery on June 11, with likely neck surgery at some point in the future. Pray for guidance over the surgeon’s hands and quick healing.
- Pray that the ICHE conference will go smoothly!
- Praise God for 3 Marine Biology applications already being submitted! Pray we will have another full trip!
- Pray for more funding and monthly donors to help us reach our monthly goal of $12,500 to cover salaries and operating expenses! We currently are at 52%. Please consider joining our team of ministry supporters!
Thank you for your prayers! May we live a life worthy of His calling!
