FaithSearch Discovery
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 International
Dr. Don Bierle and the FaithSearch ministry has blessed our congregation immensely throughout our many years of partnership. Surprised by Faith is a favorite among our Christian education offerings on Sunday mornings, and this resource has been effectively used in a variety of formats within our congregation including groups large and small as well as individual instruction. I highly recommend this resource as one that changes not only minds but hearts as well.

This is the second time I have been through this material and I learn something new each time. I have shared at my workplace and am bringing three individuals the Surprised by Faith book. Thank you so much for sharing.

Answered Prayer
Thanks for what you do. I just received the free DVD with my donor receipt letter. It was truly an answer to prayer. I have felt a pull during my prayer time to engage more with those in my family who do not know Christ. I went to the mail and there was my free DVD. I was so thankful and just wanted to let you know. I will check online for the offers that are available in April that may help in my discussions.

FaithSearch Discovery and Friend to Friend
Friend to Friend and FaithSearch are user-friendly evangelism that results in everyone experiencing the blessings of obedience as thousands come to Christ.

FaithSearch Discovery
I thought it was great. It was very helpful to get all the scientific proof. It re-affirms what I already knew, "that it takes more than faith to not believe than to believe.,"

Dr. Don Bierle
I’m grateful for your regular teaching here in the park [55+ community in Mesa, AZ] and very happy to know of the consistent attendance of 40+ people. Many people talk about the study around the park. That is so encouraging. God has used you, and continues using you to make a difference here in the park. Thank you for your faithfulness and love for Jesus!

FaithSearch Discovery
FaithSearch was a shot in the arm for our congregation. We had a number of people grow in their faith and their understanding of their relationship with God. We have seen an increased interest in Bible study and discipleship programs as a result. We've also seen an increased interest in peoples' willingness and desire to share their faith in Christ with others.

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.

Discipleship
Loved hearing about the external evidence of science and literature for helping to explain to others! This is non-threatening and just good information for people who are unsure of the truth of the Scripture.
