What Leaders Are Saying…

Here is some of what church and ministry leaders, including event hosts, have to say about the ministry of FaithSearch International.

Surprised by Faith book

Surpised by Faith is a great evangelistic tool when placed in the hands of people.  It can bring them from the darkness of unbelief to saving faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord

-Reverend Allen L. Mondon Calvary Free Lutheran Church

FaithSearch International

For several decades, Dr. Don Bierle has proven to be a tremendous resource and partner in ministry,  significantly in enhancing the spread of the Gospel in our Twin Cities and beyond.  His ministry, FaithSearch and, book, Surprised by Faith, have been key sources of spiritual transformation within the lives of, literally, hundreds of men and women all over the Twin Cities and beyond.  Thank you, Don, for your faithfulness to our Lord over all these years, and for your effectiveness in making Him known!

-Jeff Siemon Director of Search Ministries MN and fomer MN Viking

Surprised by Faith and FaithSearch Discovery

"(FaithSearch) will strengthen your own faith in God, in the reliability of the Bible, and in the truth of Jesus Christ."

—Dr. Billy Graham

FaithSearch International

One of the greatest things about [FaithSearch] International is an experienced, flexible staff who can provide seasoned advice, and can also flex with the needs of the church and the needs of the outreach target audience. The presentation was very popular with our community–in fact we underestimated attendance by half!

–Mark McSweeney Associate pastor of discipleship

Surprised by Faith book

Far from being a "leap in the dark," faith is the reasonable and rational response to an honest examination of facts, postulates Dr. Don Bierle in his simultaneously scholarly and easy to read book Surprised by Faith.  In six concise chapters he lays out the evidence for biblical Christianity in a straight forward and logical manner, then invites the reader to respond in belief.

-Bruce Montgomery, D. Min. Pastor, Grace Church

FaithSearch Origins

We are so thankful to have had Don Bierle speak to [our] ninth-grade group. At least seven kids stayed after to ask him questions and hear his insight on creation-vs-evolution issues as well. Don was an amazing presenter to our group. He spoke to the students with clarity and effectiveness—meeting them where they are, challenging them to rise to a deep and mature level, and engaging with them to go deeper than they naturallaly would've. It was as if he walked with each of us "hand-in-hand" through rich and challenging content and explained it clearly so each of us came away with a great understanding.

Students locked in, engaged, and respected him. The room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. For ninth-grade students, this is a great sign of a great communicator and the respect they had for him. One of my co-workers who is also a parent of one of my students visited for the teaching portion and she said it was "amazing." She learned so much from him sitting in on the session—more than she has during the adult sessions. It met her where she was at and she was very impressed. She said, "It was great!!!!!" in an E-mail to me this morning. One of my small group leaders of ninth-grade girls E-mailed this morning and gave me this feedback, "Last night was amazing, my girls stayed about 15-20 minutes after asking questions and digesting! It was awesome. 🙂 "

-KN Student Ministries Pastor, Grade 9

Surprised by Faith book

Don Bierle's book Surprised by Faith has proven itself to be a great tool at enlightening and reinforcing Christian beliefs.  To know what a person believes is a good first step in the journey of Christian faith.  To know why a person believes what he or she believes is the all-important next step which solidifies a person's faith.  In his book Surprised by Faith, Don Bierle gives historical, archaeological, and scientific facts that aid the inquiring mind in discerning "why" to believe "what" they believe.  I heartily recommend his book.

-Reverend D. John Cline Pastor, McLaurin Memorial Baptist Church

Surprised by Faith book

Don Bierle was surprised by faith and it transformed his life!  As a skeptical researcher and teacher he was challenged to research the evidence for Jesus.  God worked and Don became convinced of the relaibility of the Bible and the truth that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!  Surprised by Faith tells Don's story and persuasively challenges the reader to seriously consider the person and work of Jesus.  I heartlily recommend you read it.  I have had the privilege of partnering with FaithSearch International for fifteen years and have seen Don's message change many lives.  Invite Don to your church!!

-Geoff Bohleen Executive Pastor, Buffalo Covenant

FaithSearch Discovery

The "Discovery" presentation [gives] information which totally confronts a skeptics view of what the Bible is and why they disbelieve it. This information is rarely presented in the church today and should be understood by every believer so that they may give an answer to the hope that lies within them.

-TK Pastor

Surprised by Faith book

Surprised by Faith by Dr. Don Bierle is a must read!  I am a PhD scientist (Cornell Univeristy, 1983 in nutritional biochemistry) and this book has greatly impacted me on my own faith journey.  I now mention this excellent book in multiple speaking events each year, when sharing the scientific evidence that God does indeed exist.  How can anyone doubt that God exists after reading this book?  This is a very solid scientific examination of Christianity.  Dr. Bierle uses objective scientific methods to validate the authenticity of the Bible as a valid historical document.  If you ever doubled the reality of Christianity, this is the book for you!  I highly recommend this book.

-Mark Whitacre, Ph.D. National Director of Field Ministry Operations CBMC; COO & Chief Science Officer of Cypress Systems, Inc.; The Informant (played by Matt Damon in the Hollywood movie, The Informant)

This has given me reassurance in the object [of my faith].  The facts and proof solidify that my faith has been placed in the valid object, Lord Jesus Christ.

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 >>
