Our ministry exists to defend the Biblical view of creation and the flood
as being literally true and scientifically accurate.
April 14, 2003
Dear friends of Creation Science Evangelism (as well as a few enemies,
scoffers, atheists, skeptics, lunatics and assorted bad guys that are on
this mailing list for a variety of reasons),
Greetings in the name of the Great Creator of the universe!
This year has been a blur so far! I have flown 69 times since January,
had 4 more creation/evolutionism debates, about 50 TV and radio interviews
and preached nearly 300 times. We have seen great results at the seminars
with scores of lives changed for the Lord. We have already had over
2,000 visitors to DAL and added many new things to our museum and science
center. God has truly given us an amazing staff to do the work of the ministry
here!
New Staff
We welcome Amy Rowley (Soon to marry our very own Joey Anderson!) and Dianne
Cooksey to our secretarial staff. Welcome also to Jonathan Sampson
joining our technical department in web maintenance and graphic design.
You will see many new articles, pictures and other improvements on both web
sites over the next few months. Courtney Barnard joined our secretarial
staff a few months ago only to get engaged to a youth director in Louisiana!
She will be married this June and be leaving us. We appreciate your
work here, Courtney. Come back to see us. God seems to send us his
finest servants to help proclaim the creation message. Thanks for investing
your talents here at CSE. We know you will love it here.
New Babies!
Congratulations to Brendon and Veronica Brown on their new daughter.
Veronica has done a great job maintaining and landscaping the entire property
including Dinosaur Adventure Land, for the last three years. John and
Christina Combs also had a new daughter in January. John has worked
in DAL as well as our maintenance department for several years now.
Congratulations!
New Materials
In addition to scores of good creation books, we have added lots of new top
quality fossil castings. Placing these on your desk or wall is sure
to start a conversation about creation. They also make great gifts.
See our web site for details. We are excited to offer William Gibbons
new book, Missionaries and Monsters ($9 +S&H) as a sequel to Claws, Jaws
& Dinosaurs authored by William Gibbons and Kent Hovind. William
has made four trips to Africa in search of living dinosaurs. Both books
deal with modern sightings of dinosaurs. During April or May, get both
together for only $11 + S&H.
Homeschools
We often get asked questions about homeschooling. We offer several
video courses for homeschools and now are pleased to offer a new book called
Simply Homeschooling by Melinda Lewis. This very practical 160-page
book will explain the basics for those considering homeschool and give great
tips for those who have been doing it for years. This book is only $9.50
+S&H.
New Ministries
For years I have said, “We are trying to win a war not build a castle.”
We are not trying to build a big ministry here. There is a war going
on! We need millions of people involved all over the world. We
have helped several hundred people start new creation ministries over the
last 14 years. If your church or organization would like to have a
seminar on creation, please, contact us. I have a list of dozens of
creation speakers who are willing to come. Some are seasoned speakers
and others are just getting started but all are eager to share the vital
truths about creation to strengthen the faith of believers. You can
help support a new or existing ministry by scheduling a meeting or providing
funding for them.
April-May Specials!
Why not give a gift that will change lives forever? A firm foundation
in creation information via videos, seminars and books can change people’s
world-view and help them come to Christ or be better witnesses. Part
of our job description is found in Ephesians 4:11-12 “And he gave some, apostles;
and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying
of the body of Christ:”
To help others be equipped to minister, during the months of April or May,
if you order our Ministry Startup Kit (cost of $150) which contains well
over 6,000 slides used in my presentations, a video on how to do PowerPoint
and an audio on helps to start a ministry, we will send you the large timeline
($30 value), five fossil replicas ($30 value) and the exciting new book,
Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation by Dennis Peterson (retail $32) for free.
We have added hundreds of new slides and footnotes to the presentation in
the last few months to keep this startup kit up-to-date and save many years
of research and thousands of dollars.
Building Update
The battle over the building permits is going fine but not over yet.
We still need your prayers and support. Meanwhile, we have 8 other
buildings and are still going strong. Last year about 10,000 came for
a tour. This year we expect lots more. We have had 2500 in the
first three months of 2003 already. Pensacola is great! Come
visit our Park, Creation Museum and Science Center to see for yourself!
Want to Help us Win Souls?
We always have projects cooking here. You can support our ministry
many ways. Some sponsor us for $500/year and we put their name (or
their business) on a dinosaur on our fence. Others give a one time gift of
$1000 or more and we honor them with their name on our billboard. Many others
give various amounts via credit card, check or cash to help us grow, start
new ministries, give away materials and win souls. Why not pray about
it? The recent, very lively debate at Rutgers University will be sent
to those who give a gift of $10 or more to our ministry in April or May.
This debate was held on April fools day. How appropriate!
Staff Spotlight
John Paul Holmes has been working at CSE in the shipping and receiving department
for some time, but he has been using his gift for music here and at a local
church as well. John has been doing concerts for years. His heart
for the Lord’s work has been a real boost to us and we are excited that he
has cut his first professional CD! He says he will remember us when
he gets rich and famous. Thanks, John for your dedication to the Lord
and our ministry. If you want to hear a sample of John’s music, get
his CD or support his new ministry go to www.jpholmes.com John lives in
Pensacola with his wife Shana and their two year old daughter, Trinity.
Testimonies
We have thousands of testimonies from people who were saved or revived
through our material. We hope these encourage you to keep going for
the Lord. Well over 98% of the mail and email we get is positive from
people who love our ministry but some people out there don’t seem to share
those sentiments. Our job is to be the salt of the earth. Salt
flavors, preserves and irritates all at the same time. We included
a few negative emails just as we got them. Most of their objections
are dealt with in my seminar.
Comments: Dr. Hovind, You do realize don't you that you are the most
mocked person in the MSN Evolution_V_Creation group? They take
your statements and make it sound like you are some kind of crazy person.
Just thought I’d let you know. I’ve been debating them for a while.
But it's tough, I was just writing to let you know how much you are despised
over there. Erik N.
— Comments: You all must be pretty ignorant to actually believe in
this junk? All Mr. dino has done, as far as i can see, is to fabricate
a whole lot of counter theories against evolution which are no more probable
than what science has uncovered. He backes up what he is saying with
the fact that the bible is the exact word of god and that every thing in
iot is exactly correct. However, if the bible is so important to him
than you should ask him why he does not use the compleat Bible? When
Luther separated from the Catholic church, he edited the Bible (took books
out) so that it matched what he had to say. He claimed that Faith alone
will save you! In one of the books he removed, however, it can be read
that faith without works is dead. So if Dr. dino (i doubt he is realy
a doctor) wanted to hold that every thing in the Bible is gods word, than
mabe he should consider using the whole Bible! You know i am right
Mr. Dino, and if you don't than you need to do a little more homework before
you polute other inocent peoples minds. If you are secure in you position,
however, i dare you to post this message on the front page of your warped
website! Ill be checking it eveey day and if i don't see it in 2 weeks
than i have won. BTW pi does not equil 3 no matter how you look at it. Mark

+ Comments: Dear Dr. Hovind, I would like to thank you, on behalf of
myself and my family, for getting us saved. I cannot express the joy you
have brought my family. We have been saved since April of 2002, and we have
since loaned your excellent debate tapes to our friends (and enemies) and
have led many to Christ. Rich M.
— Comments: You people are rediculous! How long does it take to metamorphose
rock? and then to bring it back to the surface? How did marine fossils get
in the rocks at the top of mt everst? and what about radiometric dates?
do you understand mineralogy and crystal chemistry? i don't even know
why you think evolution conflicts with you book. go spend a few years in
school. remove you bias. we are not out to disprove god. we do not address
the issue of god because there is no physical evidence for the existance
of god, no way to measure god. you do, however, set out to prove us wrong,
calling us liars, and entering in your research with a large bias. a bias
based on emtion. emotion which is based on a book which was written by men
peace and sense be with you. Mike T.
— Comment: -----------You are all crazy people!!!!........adopt reason as
your savior and live your lives....thus far you have rejected reason an logic
and chosen death....animals live through instinct man through reason...the
man who rejects reason and refuses to think therefore refuses to live. May
the god that you have created have mercy on your souls. If you want
to get a clue read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. She will show you what you
are. Bernard G. Ph.D student, UCLA Earth and Space Sciences
+ Comments: Your lectures, which are broadcast in my area of Waukesha,
WI, have won me over to the belief in creation. I was convinced of
evolution after viewing Carl (P)Sagan's cosmos series and reading an Asimov
Book. I am not fickle, It was painful for me to change my opinion at
first, but I only care about truth and I thank you for the effect your work
has had on my spirit. All the best to your ministry. Peace and
Ardor. Noah W.
+ Comments: Dear Kent, I have recently received my very own set
of DVD's from your seminars. I can't begin to tell you how much my
faith has suffered as I studied pharmacy through college. I had to
learn all the "garbage" they fed during biology etc. and recall it for the
tests. It had always been a struggle to find Christ's meaning in an
evolutionistic state. Some close friends of mine turned me on to your
tapes after I was presenting my own theory of why carbon dating was in error.
Your tapes renewed my confidence in the truth and for the first time I was
able to confidently let others know I believe, really believe in Gods perfect
creation of this earth. The value of his word has always been there,
but your ministry has renewed the purpose of my life personally, and as the
leader of my family. It's time to do something for GOD and fortify my children
(3 and 7) with the truth about Jesus and his word. Although they attend
a private school, your tapes have help take the focus off this word and place
it where it belongs as stewards of our children. Thank you for the
great work and God bless you, yours and your ministry. Bill M.
+ Dear Dr. Hovind: I am so proud of you. I believe anything we do,
if we believe in Jesus will point people to God, but you have gone out on
a limb - successfully. I teach a weekly Bible study and one young woman/christian
was having a horrible time with her unbelieving husband. He resented having
to watch the children in her absence and used the time to prepare his questions
(satan comes immediately) to harass her when she returned from class. On
one such occasion she was praying, "God I don't know the answers to give
him, but I know there are answers and I know you have them. I need them now
please." Your show came on the station that was already on the television
and answered his specific questions for that night and they have been watching
as a family since. Isn't God good! Thank you for your faithfulness and thank
you for my newsletter. In Christ Jesus. Charlene
+ Kent, Hi from Molokai in the Islands of Hawaii. Aloha! God
Bless you and yours!!!!
I have been meaning to write you a testimony for a long
time. I just need to do it, so here goes.
I bought your video series from the chick tracts publication
6 or 7 years ago I suppose. I began to watch the series, and could not stop.
I was growing in the Lord when I found your tapes. Since
that night Kent, I am a different man. From then on my attitude has been
different. I decided with God that night that I was going to simplify, meaning
get out of debt, get rid of my complicated life w/ all my toys and stuff.
Stop buying stuff, so we didn't have to spend all our time working to pay
for and maintain. God had used you as a tool to reach me. Kent, you have
been a real blessing!!!!
The tapes in addition removed all my categories that
I had my knowledge in. As a scientist learning a secular education, I had
areas that I called cubby holes where I had things stashed that I didn't
want to talk about, b/c they didn't line up with the bible. I had radio carbon
dating in one of those holes. That didn't fit w/ my Christianity. Is the
bible true was in a hole. The whole logistics of the ark was in a hole. Can
that really be true from a scientific standpoint??
Kent, you cleaned out my cubbyholes one by one via good solid science. Now
I am not afraid to talk about any of it. Keep it up bro. Mark
+ Hello from the Newlove family in Sand Lake Michigan!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to thank you for making me feel "uncomfortable" as a Christian.
I have had a hunger for God’s word so great that I love to study it all the
time. I acknowledged you had a strong point about what are you doing
for the lord.
My wife and I are involved in Church but that didn’t
seem to be enough. I have played guitar for years in different bands all
over. (none of them for the lord.) I guess it was a hobby or release of some
sort. I know that creation and Jesus are fact in my mind and presented that
to a drummer friend of mine. To my surprise he was saved just like that!!
After a couple of months he said he was getting rid of all his old rock CD,s
because they didn’t fit in to his new life. Boy he was being changed right
before my eyes and it was awesome!! The Lord has blessed us and
we love to do his will in our lives. Thank you for making me feel "uncomfortable"
it has brought me great happiness to serve our Lord!!!!!!! Dave N.
— Comments: You people are nuts, loonies, idiots... I now believe
that the internet is full of junk if this *&%* is allowed on it.
You did not shown one piece of evidence that your "imaginations" are possible,
you simply refer to the bible. I wouldn't go as far as to call you
scientists but to call you a cult. Ben M
— Comments: Do you have any idea how incredibly stupid you are?
If the world is only 6000 years old then how do ou explain dinosaur fossiles,
carbon dating, ancient Egypt? There are so many flaws and loop-holes
in you "science" that i can even count them on both of my hands and feet.
You should do the world a service and adopt the fact that is EVOLUTION!
If you would like further proof please inquire with any acredited scientist.
Ath eist, yourwrong@manyourdumb.com
Our Goal
We hope that these testimonies will inspire you to invest your life even
more in the cause of winning souls to Christ. If God does not lead
you to minister directly by speaking or teaching on creation, or sharing
videos, maybe you could support those who do? You can purchase videos
from us in quantity for a discount and give them out as gifts or donate to
our ministry and we will send them out. Why not ask God what He wants
you to do? There is a war going on. If you are not going to shoot,
at least carry (or buy) bullets for those who will! If we can help
you come to Christ or inspire you to win souls, please, call us.
Keep serving the Creator,
Kent Hovind
PS. As always, please, notify us if you can receive this newsletter via email
or if you no longer wish to be on our list. This saves our ministry’s
money and your time. If you know of others who would like to receive
our newsletter, please, have them sign up on our web site. The e-mail
updates are sent out more often than snail mail.
