Dr. Benny Prasad says, “If I could be made useful, any one in this world can. If my dreams can come true, yours can too. My sin and shame has been exchanged for righteousness and new life by the Almighty God who died to set me free. For those with no hope, there is more to life than what today holds. I thank God that I did not end my life but rather chose to live through shame and failure so that today I’m able to be a blessing to the World. Remember, you are never too bad or sinful for God to redeem and transform.”

You can hear this acclaimed Indian Musician at the Creation Museum on Saturday and Sunday, November 21 and 22. In his concerts Benny performs about 5 various styled instrumentals and in between each piece he shares his life experiences. It is half music and half sharing his experiences. This method has been very fruitful and effective in ministering to the audience. Benny’s heart is to impact the lives of his audience more than to simply entertain them. In pursuit of this goal he has traveled the world, including more than 218 countries to become the most traveled Indian musician.

Creation Museum founder and president Ken Ham met Dr. Prasad earlier this year at an Answers in Genesis event in New Jersey. Ken was so impressed with his music that he invited Dr. Prasad to perform at the museum. These concerts take place at 12:00 and 5:00 on Saturday, November 21 and 3:00 on Sunday, November 22. Admission is free with any admission to the Creation Museum, just remember that seating is first come, first served.

Thanksgiving weekend you can join us for an exciting time with world-renowned juggler Bob Whitcomb. Bob earned his title as the World’s Strongest Juggler by juggling a world record 3-16 pound bowling balls for 62 catches! His show has taken him on three European tours, two performances at the White House, the Pentagon and now the Creation Museum!

Families and guests of all ages will thrill as he mixes comedy and juggling with music and audience involvement that is sure to delight everyone.

For more than thirty years, Juggler Bob has entertained audiences internationally and even won top honors in the International Jugglers Association’s competition. Getting an early start as a young boy, Bob loved performing magic for friends and neighbors. He then took a course in juggling and it has led him into a remarkable career. To learn more about Bob please visit his website at www.jugglerbob.com.

The cost for these fun performances is only $2.50. Your family won’t soon forget this amazing show.

After the success of our photography workshops this year we have scheduled a full slate of programs for 2010. These workshops are led by award winning photographers Martin and Deb Minnard who serve on staff at the Creation Museum. The Minnards bring more than fifty years combined experience in general, wedding, portrait, commercial and aerial photography to their teaching task.

Deb applies her art background to her photography. Marty is accomplished in commercial and aerial photography. For ten years they operated their own full service studio in Michigan which they left behind to come and work at the Creation Museum.

Currently as a “retirement career” they run the Foto FX souvenir photo service at the Creation Museum. In addition to those duties, Marty and Deb produce fine art images of the museum and its grounds for Answers in Genesis publications.
