Hello from Allentown, PA

The Answers in Genesis board meeting is now history. Emphasis this meeting was vision casting with reports from all the departments of ministry.  The first morning Ken introduced to the board and staff the theme for the next two years and I am really excited about it.  Our emphasis will be on the ministry to and for children.  We will hear much more from AiG on the “rescuing” of children. 

AiG has been under attack (along with all of us who teach creationism) that we are abusing children!

Here is a pic of Ken and myself and a 25th year anniversary reprint of
his book the Lie, which really shows the heart of the message of AiG.

The new book, “Genius of Ancient Man” was displayed three different places in the museum bookstore.  It was thrilling to see the response from the board, staff and the folks who attended the special evening Bible study set up by the Hanson family in South Carolina!  It was one of the top sellers on the web site too!

The Genius of Ancient Man on sale in the Creation Museum bookstore.

Thanks again to the Hanson family for the opportunity to speak and for all their work in setting up a wonderful evening with a great meal and fellowship.

A new display outside the museum shows the size of a one-story bay of the Ark.  It gives some insight into the incredible amount of space Noah had to use.  Included below is a picture of the board in front of the bay.  It is one story while he had three floors and he had the equivalent of hundreds of these spaces.

We had a really thrilling opportunity to have lunch with and to meet Dr. Damadian while at the AiG offices.  Dr. Damadian invented the MRI machine and is a devout believer and young earth creationist.  We sat in just on an evening session where he told his story of the invention of MRI!  What a remarkable story, this medical tool has benefited thousands and thousands of people.

Beverly will be meeting with friends at her 50^th High School reunion this weekend.  She is really looking forward to this time.

I speak twice on Sunday, in the morning to the youth group at Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship church in Allentown and in the evening at the church where Lance Eiesle has become the new pastor. 

Yesterday was my birthday and today is Beverly’s birthday!  What a delight in receiving all the greetings of happy birthday from so many friends.

News from home is that the JHBC trip to Mt. St. Helens was a safe and successful trip.  This week Dr. Dave Janssen is teaching on Old Testament Prophets.

Last Sunday Dr. Don Saylak spoke at CBC for the morning service and this coming Sunday Scott Austin is giving the message.

So far over 3500 miles on the trip, thanks for your prayers.

Pastor Don

Hello from Branson, MO

We had a good trip leaving from CBC after church on Sunday and stayed in Sidney, Nebraska that night, lodging in Springfield, Missouri the following night.

Monday afternoon we spent time with Tim Dudley at the publishing office of Master Books.  What an exciting time to meet with some of the people who are woking on promoting the book!  It was humbling and awesome.  Pray with us that the Lord will use the message of The Genius of Ancient Man for His glory.

Monday evening we had the opportunity to go to the Sight and Sound Theatre in Branson, Missouri for the Joseph presentation.  What a wonderful message of forgiveness!

We picked up more of the books today and hope to travel a little further than Little Rock by Wednesday night so it is not so long a day on Thursday to arrive in South Carolina.  Our friends the Hansens have lined up a Bible study for Friday night and we have been informed that approximately 40 people are coming.

Also another opportunity is for us to speak at the Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship church youth group class on Sunday morning October 21st in Allentown, Pennsylvania.  That same evening we are to be at a church in PA where Lance Eiesle is the new Pastor.

The AiG board meeting begins Sunday night, October 14th.


Thanks for your prayers.
Don and Beverly
