2021 July-August Teaching Trip: Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Gorno-Altaysk, Novokuznetsk

July 23, 2021 By Dr. Oleg Voskresensky, Teacher

“We will all remember this year’s summer camp! Not just for the fun and fellowship but, most importantly, for the two days of ‘discoveries’ that impacted everybody here so much. Evidence based faith in God is so cool!” This was shared with me the small group leader in the Evangelical Christian Camp near Novokuznetsk.

Frankly, I was a little concerned that the historic and manuscript evidence material would be difficult for the younger part of the 150-strong youth audience gathered under the white-and-blue striped tent. The audience ranged in age from 11 to 20 years. I had to constantly scan and monitor their attention level to make sure they are neither bored nor overwhelmed. It seemed to have worked perfectly well and the Q&A session demonstrated that both ends of the spectrum stayed interested and engaged.

Are the People Real?

July 8, 2021 By Dr. Don Bierle

By Dr. Don Bierle, FaithSearch President

Dr. Don Bierle has been extending the Gospel with evidence to all peoples everywhere since 1979.

When I’m doing my presentations on evidence for the Bible and the Christian faith, there is a question I frequently get. The question says a lot about the Church’s lack of effectiveness in communicating truth to our current society, both Christians and non-Christians:  “Are the people real or are they just Bible people?”

Implied in the question is that the Bible “stories” are only “make-believe” and have no connection to the “real world.” This point of view expects that they should all begin with “once upon a time!” Because FaithSearch International has excelled in demonstrating the Bible is “real history” and identifying the evidence of archaeological discoveries to support its reality, we have maintained our ministry relevance for evangelism and discipleship for nearly forty-two years. 

At least one million people have either read or heard the “real story” of Jesus, the Bible, and Christian faith through FaithSearch publications and recordings. More than seventy-two thousand have experienced an “Ah-Ha!” moment at one of our apologetic presentations as the Holy Spirit draws them to follow the “real Jesus.” No “fairy-tale” can transform a life and place it on the certain path to eternity!

For Reflection #1, June 2021

July 8, 2021 By Dr. Don Bierle

“…who will go for Us?” Isaiah 6:8

In a vision, Isaiah responded to God’s call to deliver His message to Israel. Likewise, the church has been commissioned to take the Good News of redemption in Jesus Christ to the world (Matthew 28:19-20). 

The twenty-first century has taken a toll on the Church’s ability to do that. 

The Gallup polling organization reported in March this year that American church membership fell to 47% in 2020, the lowest since Gallup began tracking the statistic in 1937. Church membership was 70% at the turn of the century.

For Reflection #2, June 2021

July 8, 2021 By Dr. Don Bierle

“…come away… rest a while.” Mark 6:31

Jesus gave us an example. This summer might be a great time to practice it. When Jesus faced the crucial task of choosing His twelve apostles, Luke records that He retreated alone to a mountain to pray (6:12). When the ministry later attracted such a crowd that “they could not even eat a meal,” Jesus said to His disciples, “Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest” (6:31). When the 5,000 whom He had just fed pressed in on Him, He dismissed them and “went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray” (Matthew 14:23). Finally, when He faced imminent arrest, suffering, and death, He went to the Garden of Gethsemane – “withdrew from them…knelt down and began to pray” (Luke 22:39-41). 

Take time this summer to rest and refresh your spirit in His presence (Psalm 16:11).

Scary Baggage Claim

Parents checking their bags at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport suddenly realized their small son was nowhere to be seen. Panic set in as the airport police were called and began a search. 

They found him some minutes later out back, unhurt, riding the conveyor belt around.
