A Day in the Life of “me and AiG”
Published March 30th, 2005 in Thoughts and Things
People often ask me ... "What's it like to work at a ministry like Answers in Genesis. Well ...
Got up early to find an email from one of our leadership team stating they thought my proposed newsletter article for May needed some work—so I rewrote it. I admit, it is much better now—I appreciate the way we all work together for what is best for the ministry. I praise the Lord for our great leadership team.
Attended the 8:30 am staff meeting—gave a presentation to Carl Kerby celebrating his 5 year anniversary as a ...
Monday night, March 7 – The Waterfront Hall, Belfast, Northern Ireland
Published March 8th, 2005 in My Journeys
This meeting was held in the Waterfront, an auditorium that seats 2,009 people. Every seat was full. We think this may have been the largest public creation meeting ever in the UK (and most likely Europe) in modern history. Several people commented on the real buzz of excitement they felt as they entered the auditorium.
There were so many comments and discussions, but here are a few highlights:
The box-office people who sold tickets for this event told us that, based on the calls they had received, they could easily have sold this event out at least three times over and possibly ...
Monday afternoon, March 7 – Belfast, Northern Ireland
Published March 7th, 2005 in My Journeys
Today, the BBC sent a taxi to pick me up for an interview with David Dunseith, who is known to be an extremely anti-Christian and arrogant talk show host. Well, he started off the interview by asking me why I believed the Bible instead of science. That gave me a great open door, so I went for it. He then tried to keep pushing this line, but I kept hammering him that it wasn't the Bible versus science. He then told me how ridiculous it seemed to believe that a Creator created the universe out of nothing. So I asked ...
Sunday, March 6 – Near Belfast, Northern Ireland
Published March 7th, 2005 in My Journeys
Because the Waterfront auditorium for the main meeting tomorrow night (Monday) sold out (over 2,000), I was asked to speak in a couple of churches so people who couldn't get tickets for Monday could come. Both churches (this morning and tonight) were packed. The church tonight normally gets 40 (it was in the country, a good 45 minutes from Belfast). I don't know how many turned up for this little country church, but it was over 200. They were sitting on chairs down the aisle, out in the foyer—wherever there was any space. The church this morning was packed both ...
Saturday, March 5 – Astra Hall, Student Centre, at University College Dublin (Ireland’s largest university with over 18,000 students)
Published March 6th, 2005 in My Journeys
Here are some highlights from the three presentations given on campus:
* A group of young men (all university students) who went to the same church crowded around me with endless questions about ice cores, continental drift, starlight, tree ring dating, and on and on. They were hungry, wanting to believe the Bible but not having answers and struggling with what they were being taught. My heart went out to them.
* Quite a number of children came up pleading for autographs, etc. It is so thrilling when a number of elementary students come up and say, "That was a good talk, ...
Friday, March 4 – Dublin, Ireland
Published March 5th, 2005 in My Journeys
Last night I spoke in Dublin. We expected Dublin to be a much more difficult situation—and it was. A conservative Christian group at Dublin University sponsored the program. They had posters up all over campus because they wanted to use this as an outreach to the students as well as the public. They even had posters (with my photo) in the restrooms!
Dublin has 20,000 students, and they estimate fewer than 2% are Christians. Most of the Christians are students from Asia (Malaysia, etc.).
* Around 100 to 150 university students were in the audience, which pleased the organizers. I'm not sure ...
Thursday, March 3 – Cork, Republic of Ireland
Published March 4th, 2005 in My Journeys
* I was told that 200 would be a good crowd for a Christian meeting and that 300-400 would be fantastic. Well, 500 people turned out for this event, which was organized by an evangelistic group that actively spreads the gospel in Ireland. It was considered phenomenal for this country! The man who organized the meeting also does a program on one of the local secular radio stations, and he interviewed me for an hour before the meeting. He was thrilled at AiG's apologetics approach, which he says is SO needed for this culture. (I was later ...
