Start Seeing the Unseen

2022 - SEEING the UNSEEN

In years past, the start of the year was not only new and exciting but usually slow, from a ministry standpoint. This year has been anything but slow from the beginning. The Lord has us off and running, teaching His Word out and in. It is very encouraging to see the direction we are moving for the year as we focus on SEEING the UNSEEN.

We have already had two trips going out to preach and teach, starting our year off with people having their lives changed through His Word. The theme of SEEING the UNSEEN is strongly resonating in this seemingly hopeless world. As we allow the Lord to impact our lives, our focus shifts to Him, His will and knowing He is in control, and then hope follows close behind in assurance of our eternal promises.

Our Sharp Institute for Biblical Worldview Studies Cadre program is off to a great start as well this year. We have a new class, the 19th Cadre, with an almost full roster. Once again we are seeing great desire to study the Word from these men and women who are ready to share what they learn with those around them. The 18th Cadre, which started last year, just completed their 3rd meeting. We are greatly encouraged by their continued hunger and enthusiasm for truth. Their Biblical knowledge and impact where they live is being seen with each passing meeting. They are a true blessing to our ministry. We at CTF are SEEING the UNSEEN through His work in their lives as well.

We have also been blessed with the ability to accomplish several “punch-list” items through an overwhelming 2021Year-end Giving Campaign. Our goal of $10,000 to be matched was smashed, and we ended up with gifts totaling $24,935. Our desire to do much needed maintenance on our trucks, trailers, and office is being accomplished much sooner than anticipated, praise the Lord! We also were able to replace our badly aging conference room chairs so we no longer have to be concerned about the chairs “shedding” on whoever may sit in them or busting if you lean the wrong direction. There are a few other “wants” that just might be moved to the “accomplished” stack this year because of this great blessing. The Lord is always so faithful through all of you that continue to support this ministry. Thank you!

So, as you can SEE, we are off to an outstanding start in 2022. As so many of you are UNSEEN by us on a regular basis, please know that you are SEEN through the blessings the Lord bestows on us. Please continue to lift us up in prayer this year for His favor and mission. 2 Corinthians 4:18 is clear on where each one of us should be focused. We are driven to help people SEE the UNSEEN work of our Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ. Blessings!

History & Destiny Joined

By Matt Miles • December 18, 2025

Here we are again, just a few days before Christmas. It seems the old adage, “The older you get the faster time flies,” is so true. There is not a year that passes when we look back and think, “Wow, this year took forever!” History is passing by and we look forward to the new year as we continue to focus on our eternal destiny. Our theme this year has been, HISTORY & DESTINY. Christmas is a great time to reflect on these two realities. Everyone has “Christmas history”, as I term it - those moments from past Christmases that are remembered year after year. Maybe it’s a great family gathering or Christmas activity that has become a beloved tradition. All of those moments are formed by previous years’ experiences. Sometimes this season can be tough, as we may have that memory of a loved one that has passed or other difficulties that we may be facing. Christmas history is always impactful, be it good or bad. This makes me reflect on the first Christmas. For Mary and Joseph, there was no previous history like that moment, per se. Yet, the history of the prior four thousand years had been preparing for the manger, the moment in history that our Savior would be born and begin Christmas history for all of us. Whether it is acknowledged or not, without Jesus’ birth in history, none of this season happens. Each and every Christmas our desire is to make those “Christmas history” memories for our family. Our desire is to impact the future of our family, our destiny. Often our efforts fall short or are interrupted by things out of our control. In those moments, so much stress can come from our efforts not going as planned. Sometimes it ends up ruining the whole season, especially if our focus has not been on the simple fact that He was born to bring peace, not stress. Let us not forget that it didn’t start the way Mary and Joseph had planned, with no room in the inn. But the Lord provided a place for them to rest and deliver the baby. Immanuel, God with us, is the bell ringing for all eternity that started that first Christmas. Our eternal destiny hinges on whether we acknowledge who He is everyday, not just in this season. Yet, this season is most assuredly a great time to emphasize His gift of life for all eternity. Our Creator became as one of His image bearers in that stable under imperfect conditions. He joined HISTORY and DESTINY that moment in time. The years of history that prepared the world for the child born that first Christmas would give us hope for all eternity. Jesus is the marker for all history. Because of that moment in time, our life can have peace for eternity through Him. May we all focus on the culmination of HISTORY & DESTINY during our family Christmas celebrations this year. Our history is written but our destiny is hope in Jesus Christ, our Creator and Savior. Blessings this season to you and your family from all of us here at Creation Truth Foundation!
