2013 At a GlanceThrough your prayers, subscriptions, speaking invitations, and donations, the ministry has enjoyed a highly fruitful year. Along with our home congregation (North River, Atlanta), you've supported me in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and even online. THANK YOU! Here's a summary:
- Ministry internationally: Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, Albania, Nicaragua, Mexico, Brazil, Panama, Nigeria, Liberia, Cameroon, Greece, Turkey, Colombia, Ecuador, the UK, Bangladesh, and...
- Nationally: New York, Atlanta, Auburn, Montgomery, Miami, Boston, Orlando, Dallas, Los Angeles, Raleigh, Jacksonville, Seattle, Philadelphia, Hershey, Amberson, Baltimore, Chicago.
- Universities: Lectured at a dozen schools in the US (like Georgia Tech and Harvard) and overseas (in Brazil, the former Soviet Union, and one Muslim University in Albania). Also taught World Religions through Lincoln Christian University's M.A. program in Bible & Theology.
- 93 persons from 15 nations took part in our annual Biblical Study Tour (Athens, Patmos, Ephesus).
- Ministry training: Close collaboration with the Miami School of Missions, Canadian School of Missions (based in Toronto), Northwest School of Ministry (Seattle), New England School of Missions (Boston), and Athens Institute of Ministry (Atlanta).
- Continuing Ed: Everyone benefits from sitting at the feet of the experts. In 2013, I enjoyed lectures by Dale Alison (on James), Michael Kruger (on canon), the Apologetics Seminar of the Evangelical Philosophical Society, and 150 hours of further study in history and theology.
- New publications include two books in English and two more in translation (one in Spanish, one in Portuguese); several short papers; 50 podcasts (with guest speakers from the U.S., Nicaragua, and the Philippines); a CD series on Elijah; and a DVD on Science & Faith: Enemies or Allies?
- Radio: appeared in 20+ local, national, and international interviews, related to the release of What's the Truth About Heaven & Hell?
Christ Through the Ages:
40-Day Podcast series
Would you like to start off 2014 with inspiration and direction? Could you use some help with your daily Bible devotions? Then consider listening to the 40-day series, Christ through the Ages. Our study begins with God's eternal plan to bless the world in Christ, even before we had wandered away from his will. We then follow the Messiah through both testaments, two millennia of church history, and beyond. CLICK for more.
Rome & Pompeii: 2014 BST
Like to walk in the Colosseum or the Catacombs? or stroll through the best preserved ancient city (Pompeii)? Then you're invited to join next year's Biblical Study Tour (25-31 Oct). Rome dominated the New Testament world, so the tour has real potential to bring your Bible study to life. CLICK for details.
Thanks for a great year!
So many amazing things have taken place in 2013. Yet without your assistance, the success of the year would simply not have been possible.
For your interest, prayer, friendship, and support, we thank you all, and wish you a very Happy New Year!
