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.

FaithSearch International

[FaithSearch] International is making a significant contribution to the body of Christ. Dr. Bierle's FaithSearch effectively evangelizes and disciples people. It has been very well received at Wooddale Church, and has added a new dimension to our evangelism ministry. I enthusiastically recommend it.

–Dr. Leith Anderson Wooddale Church (Eden Prairie, MN)

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 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

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

We have been extremely blessed to have had Dr. Don Bierle speak to our congregation over the years!  He has strengthend, educated, and encouraged our people in dealing with difficult questions concerning evolutionary theories and secular thinking. His book Surprised by Faith is a must read! Packaged within a personal journey of faith, Bierle gives brilliant and compelling evidence for answering six of the most important questions we can ask.

-Floyd Morgan Pastor, Christ Community 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

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)

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 International

I have invited Dr. Don Bierle to preach and hold conferences in the two churches I have pastored in the past twenty years more often than any other speaker because of his appeal to both the head and the heart.  His premise that faith in Jesus Christ—is a more reasonable response by a rational person who has honestly examined the evidence appeals to a broad range of people.  Fortunately for those unable to attend a seminar, he has put the core of his teaching into print in the delightful book Surprised by Faith.

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

FaithSearch Origins

Thank you again for the powerful teaching you gave our church on Sunday morning. Your knowledge and insight into the Word of God and the natural world are encouraging and inspiring. We appreciate the relationship we have developed over the years and look forward to it continuing.

-LG Pastor, Event Host

I have learned a lot about macro and micro evolution in my science books.  You have vastly widened my knowledge on both subjects.  Thank you.
