There will even be an opportunityto attend an Olympics event during our time in this gorgeous part of the world. Donations are now being received to help finance this amazing ministry to themany tens of thousands of people who will be coming from all around the world.

Dan "The Animal Man" Breeding from Creatures of Creation is with us again this year. Praise the Lord, he has brought a kookaburra, a lemur, a large turtle, a snake and a baby alligator to draw the folks in.

Praise God for our 20 foot banner this year that boldly proclaims Jesus as the Creator of the universe. Going along with the theme of Colossians 1:16 we are giving away 1000 "Charles Darwin Bibles" which are the complete New Testament interspersed with articles that show the problems with Darwin's beliefs on evolution.

David and Diana Crandall spent Father’s Day in the Ancient City of Ephesus in the Country of Turkey.  They have been re-reading the book of the Bible named after the city.  Hundreds of Biblical thoughts raced through their minds as they literally stood where the Apostle Paul stood to proclaim the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the pagan city.  They recalled Paul’s words to “HONOR YOUR FATHER” on this very special day of the year.

It should be noted that Paul wasted no time in the book to mention Creation to the Ephesians’.  In fact in Ephesians 1:4 Paul wrote: “For He chose us in Him before the CREATION of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight.” Later as he wrote to the Ephesus Church he reminded them:  “who (God) created all things” Ephesians 3:9.

It has been an exciting day as we have walked in the steps of the Apostle Paul.

Praise the Lord for His wonderful providence in providing a local church to help us receive 3 pallets worth of AiG materials worth over $55,000 retail that we are excited to give away for free to thousands of public school teachers over the next few days!

Forty-Six years ago Dr. David Crandall, International Director of AiG WorldWide stood with hundreds of other horrified onlookers and watched a young University student jump from the top of the Roman Coliseum. Dr. Crandall and his wife Diana returned to that site in Rome yesterday and sadly remembered that horrible day so long ago, however, a day that would change his life forever.

David has often said that he promised God on that day that he would take the hope of the Gospel to the world to save lives physically and spiritually. That long ago commitment brought him to Answers In Genesis to enable our AiG missionary work to grow and thrive.

The New Answers Book 2 has the full story of that fateful and frightful day in Rome and how it changed his life---Crandall wrote the conclusion of that best selling AiG book. That story from Rome has now been translated into Japanese and being used successful to reach that Country that experiences over 30,000 suicides per year.

We wanted you to see what was going on in Jerusalem. Please read Ken Ham's report about it in his blog. Dr. Crandall commented on it as well:

I had the joy of planning and orchestrating the AiG Holy Land Tour and I was so excited because of our previous 17 visit to Israel and Jordon.  However, because of a death in the family I needed to cancel out of the tour just weeks before it was planned to begin.  I was so glad to hear the report of the tour and the many blessing that all who traveled to the Holy Lands received.

It's the first of its kind in our 15-year history: Answers in Genesis and Creation Research Japan have signed an agreement that allows CRJ not only to translate our creation/gospel materials into Japanese, but also to print AiG books and duplicate DVDs in Japan. It's the "delivery" part that makes this agreement different than what we've done in the past.

The new relationship with CRJ will be a great means to get Bible-affirming resources more quickly and inexpensively into a nation that desperately needs the gospel. This is because we will no longer have to produce the Japanese-language materials in the U.S. and then ship them all the way across the Pacific. Having this Japanese-based cooperative outreach will save multiple thousands of dollars each year in shipping costs, and will get the resources completed more quickly.

Michiko Mizumura of CRJ met this past March with Dr. David R. Crandall, Director of AiG's "Answers WorldWide" missionary arm, to sign this historic document. CRJ (which has had many of its members travel to America to meet with us and tour the Creation Museum) and Answers in Genesis are now what could be called "sister ministries." We share the same biblical approach to Genesis chapters 1-11 and hold the same respect for the authority and accuracy of the Word of God.

We are also pleased to report that Answers WorldWide is working on similar agreements with Christian leaders in Peru and South Korea. Please pray for those to blossom as well, and that the wider distribution of creation/gospel resources into the Land of the Rising Sun will be blessed by God.
