Taking Answers to the Spanish-speaking world

One of my greatest joys is traveling around the world and seeing God at work. In the Bible God declares, “I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” And He is indeed keeping His word.

Answers WorldWide has the joy and privilege of coming alongside these global-churches and helping them in their preaching, reaching and teaching ministries.

The Spanish world is delighted that they can now listen to Ken Ham in their own mother tongue. The Spanish videos are being used effectively in all Spanish-speaking countries including the communist country of Cuba. What a joy to know that Christians in Cuba can be inspired and blessed by the presentation of Ken Ham.

Recently we received this email from a Christian in Argentina who wrote about the Spanish DVDs:

“Absolutely…incredible. Totally…believable. How did they get a translator who’s voice fits the face of Ken? The Spanish DVD series is great. Thank you.”

Please continue to pray for Answers WorldWide as we continue to expand this great apologetics ministry and its message around the world.

Taking the Creator’s message to His world

Video of God at work at the booth

Praise the Lord for all of the meaningful conversations we had with teachers. Many times we had the opportunity to not only share the truth of creation, but present the full gospel as well, starting with the bad news of Adam's sin.

One of the greatest highlights of this year’s ministry!

Last year one of the highlights of AiG’s NEA outreach was being used by God to encourage a first year delegate’s heart. A Christian teacher named Sarah came by the booth in tears of joy because she was so happy to see fellow Christians standing up for the truth in the midst of an overwhelming darkness. Jenna Dee and I talked with her for about half an hour and we all left very uplifted and encouraged.


This year Sarah dropped by the booth again. She talked with Frank and me for a while and we were so encouraged by her testimony of how the Lord used the booth in her life. Apparently it strengthened her faith far more than we imagined. She stopped by to thank us for being there and told us that she was praying for us even before we arrived in Philadelphia. That was such a blessing to hear! Listen for yourself below and praise the Lord with us.

Four year old eager to preach the gospel at the NEA

This is my son, Stephen who is four years old. He was excited that Daddy was preaching the gospel at the NEA. We have been praying as a family for a long time for this outreach, so it was on his mind. I thank the Lord for my little guy. Please pray that Stephen would grow up to be a mighty man of God, preaching the gospel in all humility, perhaps one day at the NEA convention!

Below is a picture of my three oldest children along with their great friend Amber (Stephen's on the left). Amber is 12 years old and really did share God's truth with the NEA teachers for two whole days. She was there with her Dad and her 17 year old brother, Aaron. They were stalwarts, eagerly engaging and talking with the teachers about the truth of creation and even the gospel message. At one point a teacher asked Amber what she thought about Mormons. Amber told her the truth that they are not Christians, at which point the teacher walked away. Ric mentioned toward the end of the ministry how encouraging it was to see his son and young daughter sharing God's word with unbelievers. What a blessing!

Young Earth Creationist providentially wins last $100 prize drawing by ‘chance random processes’

  A woman named “Joy” shrieked out in joy as her name was called out over the loudspeaker system at our booth. Her survey was the second to be drawn (the first was not filled out completely and thus set aside). After I read out her name, I quickly glanced at the results of her survey and noticed that she was a professing Christian and believed that God created the earth thousands of years ago. Encouraged in the Lord, I shouted out ‘Praise the Lord!’ over the PA system. There was a lot of suspense and excited in the air as a crowd had formed around the booth to see the results of the drawing.

The prior day, after one of the winners had received the prize, she stated, “I’ve been reading these materials for years and it’s finally paid off!” We all had a good laugh at that one. I’m not exactly sure where she was coming from, but it was pretty funny at the moment. Either way, it was encouraging to hear that she really had been receiving our materials over the last few years.

I praise the Lord for the volunteer who suggested we hold this type of prize drawing. It really drew in many people who might not otherwise have stopped by. There were numerous times when folks who rejected our materials would stop in their tracks when we offered them to fill out the survey for a chance to win $100. That would then give us opportunity to ask them a few questions and share a few answers. So it really worked out well, praise the Lord.

Hundreds of teachers fill out the survey in order to register for the $100 prize drawing

Here's a teacher filling out the questionnaire.
 

Here are the questions from the survey. It was designed to get truth in front of them. We used lots of Scriptures because we have confidence that the Word of God will not return void. The surveys fulfilled their purpose in that the teachers stayed around the booth longer for us to talk with them about the truth of creation and Christ.  

Survey must be filled out completely to qualify for daily prize drawing. Winner must be present at draw time to claim prize.

Dr. J. Sarfati (Ph.D in Physical Chemistry) states "Adaptation and natural selection are biological facts; amoeba-to-man evolution is not. Natural selection can only work on the genetic information present in a population of organisms—it cannot create new information. For example, since no known reptiles have genes for feathers, no amount of selection will produce a feathered reptile. Mutations in genes can only modify or eliminate existing structures, not create new ones." Do you believe in Darwinian (amoeba-to-man) evolution?

Yes No Other ____________________________________________

 

The Bible says " The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him." Have you ever researched the problems with evolutionary theory? Yes No Other ____________________________________

Billions of years

The Word of God states "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Do you believe evolution is a fact or a belief system about the past?

Fact Belief Other _______________________________________

 

The Bible clearly teaches that on the sixth day "God saw everything that He had made and behold it was very good." Is it within the realm of possibility that a model of origins other than Darwinian evolution could be true?

Yes No Other ________________________________________

 

Are you aware that all dating methods are fallible and have unverifiable assumptions? Yes No Other ________________________________

 

What is the best evidence for evolution? Please be very specific (i.e don’t just state "fossils", what about the fossils allegedly proves evolution?) ________________________________________
