• Oleg is back from several weeks of service in Uzbekistan with ELIC (English Language in China). He has invitations to return but is planning a trip to Russia in September. You can read his Uzbekistan report here. 
• If you have a Facebook^® account, you can access the archives of nearly 100 video recordings of my Bible teaching under “Dr. Don Live.”  
• Pastors, Bible teachers, evangelists, etc. can now apply to affiliate with FaithSearch International. They do not become staff but reap several benefits compared to ministering solo. 
• The FaithSearch Bible Learning Center (www.faithsearchlearning.org) will add a third course soon – “Revealing the Fingerprints of God.” The three arguments in this course offer a sometimes-necessary refresher for believers, and are helpful for reaching out to our apostate society today. Remember: there is no cost to take these courses.

It used to be that only an elephant knew how his trunk (nose) works. Now science has “nosed” in! The elephant uses his trunk as an all-purpose tool.

Sometimes he uses it to grab things, being equally adept at picking up vegetables and tortilla chips. He can also use it as a leaf blower. At other times it is like a shop vac, slurping three liters of water per second to a capacity of nine liters. Contrary to popular thinking, elephants can’t drink through their trunks but suck it up and hose it into their mouths. A 23,000 pound elephant uses its trunk to deliver 400 pounds of food to its mouth each day. 

Scientists are applying aspects of the physics of the elephant trunk in the design of robots. There is an obvious lesson here: if a robot must have an engineer, then an elephant must have an Intelligent Creator. This evidence is right under our noses!
