Praise for a Ministry Tool

Matt Miles • August 19, 2017

This month, I am highlighting an important tool in our ministry for which we are extremely grateful. As many of you know and remember, back in March our 2008 Ford F-550’s engine failed. This was our primary hauling machine for our Mobile Museum of Earth History. It was a great blow to our ministry in more ways than one. Our mission is to share the truth of God’s Word with an emphasis on Genesis and the accuracy of that historical record. Dinosaurs play a huge role in our worldview of history and, without a truck to haul our museum from place to place, our mission of impacting lives with the Truth took a hit. We sought the Lord to provide us a newer truck that would allow us to continue our mission with little to no down time, unable to see how this was going to be possible as our ministry has been sustained month to month and paycheck to paycheck for most of the year. The Lord was faithful once again, providing a truck (2015 Ford F-350) for a really fair price that fit all of our needs. It was used, but only slightly, with 18,000 miles and more bells and whistles than were needed and, I mention again, for less money than most others with only standard features. Our physical need had been met; then we turned to the financial side of the need. All glory to God, more than three quarters of the truck was paid off in the first month. Since May we have been paying off the remainder of the balance as we have been able. As I write this article, our remaining need is only $2000. This ministry tool has been serving us above and beyond, without issue and better than we had expected, for more than four months now. Please help us finish paying off this truck in the next month with a special gift. With the Lord’s help, we expect this truck to serve us many years to come in taking our mission forward and breaking down the strongholds of “prehistoric” history in people’s worldviews. Our praises for His faithfulness are overwhelming as we see His hand work in our lives and in those we minister to week after week.

This summer we have been busy advancing our mission. Not only have we traveled many miles in our efforts, but we have almost completed our Mobile Museum of Earth History expansion. Back at the beginning of the year when we announced the expansion, there was uncertainty around the time frame of completion since we knew the amount of design and fabrication that was needed for this task. Then an event that was scheduled for the end of summer with the full collection was upgraded to the “mega” expanded collection. This put a deadline on our expansion that focused us and applied a bit of pressure. With many hours of head scratching, planning, design and sweat, we slowly brought the expansion together. When we were unsure about new stands needed for our 24-foot wide Pteranodon , the Lord provided. Michael and Amy Harris (supporters from Willow Hill, IL) donated disc blades, while Aaron Lawrence (minister at Barnsdall Christian Church, OK) fabricated the blades into bases and made rods and hooks to hold the fossil. The stands are such a blessing and exactly what we needed to exhibit one of the Lord’s creations. The Lord has continually provided what we've needed from supplies to funds.
