Joe Komarek’s FaithSearch Tenure Ends

June 7, 2018 By Dr. Don Bierle Leave a Comment

By Dr. Don Bierle

Jon and Don in early ministry collaboration.

The Apostle Paul, without doubt inspired by the Holy Spirit, exhorted believers in Jesus Christ to “do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith” (Galatians 6:10). As President of FaithSearch International, I have observed our ministry supporters doing just that. Let me explain.

Joe Komarek joined the staff of FaithSearch as Executive Director about six years ago. Effective May 31, Joe has stepped down from his position, to pursue ministry elsewhere. We are grateful for his service and pray for his continued ministry effectiveness for God’s glory. Many individuals on his financial and prayer support team have also reached out with additional donations to help Oleg in his ministry to Russia; Mundo to Spanish speakers; Scott to youth; Adrian with Gospel illusion; and me for evangelism across the U.S. We are thankful for their reaching out “for good” with their generosity to us as well. 

I hope that during these past few years Joe’s support team has become acquainted with the important ministry of FaithSearch, with our ministry call to “proclaim the Gospel with evidence to all peoples everywhere.” It is also my prayer that they would now consider extending their generosity to FaithSearch by continuing to partner with us in prayer and financial assistance. (This is an option we encourage them to consider even if they continue your support of Joe elsewhere.)

We all rejoice together that this change with Joe is actually resulting in a multiplication of Gospel proclamation. As a result, more people will be brought to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, and more will be discipled to a more God-honoring faith.

Thank you, Joe!

We are grateful…

November 8, 2017 By Rick Wattman Leave a Comment

We recently created a brochure highlighting our Year of Gratitude. Each of us was asked to write a few words about why we are thankful to serve with FaithSearch. It was an exciting though challenging opportunity to distill my thoughts: we had a strict word limit.

Here is what I wrote:

I’m grateful to be part of the FaithSearch team since 2001. Recently, I found an old journal from 1977, when I was exploring what to do with my life. I was caught by my use of the word “evidence,” especially given what I do today in my Gospel-with-evidence ministry at FaithSearch:

I’ve always liked to learn. I’ve been good at formal proof & argument–evidence, etc. … but how–in what capacity–Scripture? Science? How can I best use my mind to glorify God? … I pray for knowledge of & the desire to seek out the way God wants me to go.

That was forty years ago, even as FaithSearch was being born across the country. I studied journalism, worked in television, advertising, computers, Internet, and ministry. Now I am grateful to be here, where all those twists and turns are being used by God at FaithSearch, in answer to my prayers.

Logical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus

February 28, 2017 By fsisocialmedia Leave a Comment

Dr. Michael Wise presented logical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus at the Spring Explore the Evidence Community Breakfas

It was a great morning at our “Explore the Evidence” Community Breakfast at Wayzata Country Club, Saturday, February 25. We enjoyed great food, robust table top interaction, and tremendous insight from Dr. Michael Wise on the logical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus.

We discovered in the context of ancient sources and the culture at the time, the resurrection of Jesus is the greatest historical event of all time. The effect of this story on Jews and Gentiles of the middle east impacted over 30 million people in a relatively short period of time; no other movement in history has had such rapid, widespread growth or impact. The reality of positive life change in so many people actually influenced the Roman empire to make Christianity the official religion. Its positive effect in society was impossible to ignore. This event also influenced and gave rise the science movement of the 16th century.

Why am I so passionate about this topic? To me, this is the “Good News” for all mankind as it pertains to getting right with God. When the evidence is so persuasive and the alternative arguments so farfetched, one can finally conclude the truth and be persuaded to embrace Jesus and trust Him with your life.

May this Easter season (and the historical evidence for it) bring you close to the Savior, Jesus.

His Best,

Executive Director Joe Komarek

Ongoing Ministry

August 18, 2016 By Rick Wattman Leave a Comment

It has been a while since I communicated about my ongoing ministry with FaithSearch. It is NOT that I haven’t been doing ongoing ministry. It’s that I have been doing so much that I have had to prioritize projects. Here are some recent highlights: [Read more…]

Understanding the Times: 2016 Benefit

June 2, 2016 By fsisocialmedia Leave a Comment

Understanding the Times: Guests consider their bids at the 2016 Silent Auction
Understanding the Times: Guests consider their bids at the 2016 Silent Auction

We had a blast at our 2016 Friends of FaithSearch Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction at New Hope Church, on April 29. We are grateful that 185 friends took the time to join us for good food, good laughs, and good ministry reports of changed lives. The theme of the evening was “Understanding the Times.”

Based on 1 Chronicles 12:32, the theme refers to the sons of Issachar, who “understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do.” Applied to FaithSearch, the ministry provides answers to the relevant questions of our times, as we “proclaim the Gospel with evidence to all peoples everywhere.” As we understand the times, we adapt the methods of our outreach to better reach a world without answers.

“Trying to quench a thirst”

February 19, 2015 By Rick Wattman Leave a Comment

Surprised by Faith, 3d edition
Surprised by Faith, 3d edition

Almost two years ago, I wrote about the joy I share when I hear—either directly or indirectly—from people who have been impacted by our ministry and the resources we produce (see “Sharing in the Joy!“, from March 1, 2013). I have recently been blessed again to hear some amazing accounts. One reader wrote, “I read as though I was trying to quench a thirst I never knew I had.”

His story starts out like a love story, yet you may not be “surprised” how it ends.  [Read more…]

FaithSearch Discovery

The FaithSearch seminar was the best apologetic seminar I have ever been part of. Not only did [it] share evidence that supports biblical faith in a systematic way, [the] visual presentation was the best I have seen bar none! Adding credibility was [the] integration of personal testimony and contemporary developments. I heartily recommend FaithSearch to any church seeking to ... Read more >>
