Archives for May 2019

2019 April-May: Russia

May 21, 2019 By Dr. Oleg Voskresensky, Teacher

I am back in Minnesota already and I am very sorry for not keeping up with my travel blog while traveling across Russia. My teaching and travel schedule was so intense that every minute of not teaching or traveling was immediately claimed by my poor body – it needed certain time per day of rest and sleep to recharge for the next event.

A red-eye flight brought me from Moldova to Russia on V-Day and I started in Moscow by attending a huge All-Russian Evangelical Church Conference – a great opportunity for PR and networking. It was fun to meet old friends from near and far of the country and to be introduced and recommended to others for future ministry. I almost ran out of fliers and business cards – great problem to have!

My new presentation on Communication (The Task of Mission and the Art of Communication) for lay and clergy missionaries went much better than it did last time in February – thanks for great feedback and help from my audiences back then. I am receiving more and more requests for this topic from Bible Colleges and teachers’ organizations. I will however continue to teach FaithSearch Discovery most of my time in Russia. Three presentations in the city of Vladimir clearly showed that even regular church goers need to hear it and to see it – for many in my audiences the archeological and paleographical (manuscript) evidence for the validity of the New Testament story was absolutely new and very encouraging for their faith. Fr. Anthony from the city of Tver put me on his video-blog broadcast and in the course of the first week it has already been seen by over 13,000 viewers!

Back in Moscow, I was treated by a smaller but absolutely delightful audience – schoolchildren at a private secondary school. The main challenge (and the most fun) for me was to make my class interesting for all ages at once – 5th Grade through 10th Grade in the same room – and I think it actually worked! Everybody was excited to dig into ancient bones and old parchments to find out how they all work to prove the credibility of the Bible. After the class the dean of the school kindly explained me why they kept the classroom door open all the time – teachers from the whole school (herself included) were listening in from the hallway.

A couple of days to recover from the trip and – dive right into preparations for the next one in late July!

2019 April-May: Moldova

May 6, 2019 By Dr. Oleg Voskresensky, Teacher

After two extra-long layovers in JFK and SVO, and red-eye flight to KIV, I was met and greeted by my good friends and ministry partners in Moldova – Roman and Emily with their two most wonderful kids! What a joy to spend time in sharing and prayer! What a joy and a privilege to teach in the city library for an open audience – both believers and non-believers from the area. Partnership across the denominational and ethnic borders – with Russian and Romanian Orthodox churches – enabled us to reach out to a wider spectrum of the population in the city of Orhei.

On my first day of ministry in Chisinau the Lord blessed me with a three teaching/preaching/sharing opportunities almost back-to-back. First, after the morning Liturgy and with absolutely no warning, I was called up front “to give a word” on the Gospel reading of the day. Luckily, it was the story of Thomas the Doubter and I felt totally prepared to do that – I often use it as an intro to the FaithSearch Discovery presentation. It also worked as a teaser for my presentation at a Youth Church that night and half a dozen people from my morning “event” joined it along with their kids and friends. A less formal event around the table for yet another audience filled the day time. Sundays often end up to be the busiest days of the week.

Borne of the Spirit

May 1, 2019 By Dr. Don Bierle

A Fortieth Year State-of-the-Ministry Summary

Compilation and Commentary by President Dr. Don Bierle

The mission and vision of FaithSearch International throughout its forty years of ministry can be summed up in two Bible passages:

  • “…that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31, NIV)
  •  “…Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have…” (1 Peter 3:15, NIV)

The use of evidence, reason, and logic to bring the truth of the Bible and Jesus to the hearts of people were the unique aspects of the FaithSearch message from the very beginning. In 20/20 hindsight it is clear that the ministry of FaithSearch International was initiated and has been borne along for four decades by the power and leading of the Holy Spirit. To God be the glory! 

With the recognition that God was calling us to do evangelism through our unique evidence-based messages, FaithSearch dedicated itself to that calling—and has continued now for four decades.

FaithSearch Discovery

I appreciate this eye-opening study.  I have a very inquisistive and data-driven mind and this helped me really affirm what I believe and why. Thank you!  I grew up [in a tradition where] religion was always "assumed," so thank you for helping me open my eyes.

-JS Event Participant St. Bonifacius, MN February 22, 2017
