You can host Mike Riddle to tour UK in 2010
|
 Mike Riddle, who is one of AiG-US's most dynamic creation speakers, is coming to the UK in March 2010. We are looking for churches and organisations to host events featuring Mike from the 2nd to 12th March 2010.
Many of you will not have heard Mike speak before. You can take it from me that he is a very clear, amusing and authoritative teacher. But you can also find out for yourselves. This email contains details of a special offer, where you can get two DVDs of Mike speaking for half-price (£5), but if your church is seriously considering hosting Mike for an event, then we will send you one of these DVDs. Just contact us in the office (0116 270 8400) and say that you are considering hosting a Mike Riddle event.
Also, listen out for an interview with Mike on our Answers UK Radio podcast - hopefully in episode 7.
As a former world-class athlete in the multi-event
decathlon (i.e., becoming proficient in ten athletic events, with each decathlon
conducted over two grueling days), it's not surprising that Mike is also versatile
in his "creation evangelism" efforts.
Mike holds a degree in mathematics and a graduate
degree in education. He has been heavily involved in creation ministry for
more than twenty years, and has gained such a good reputation as a speaker,
that he is often a keynoter at many meetings, including various homeschool
conferences in the United States.
Before becoming involved in creation ministry, Mike
was a US Marine (rising to the rank of captain) and during his career as a
Marine, appeared on a widely distributed recruiting poster for the Marines.
Mike tells us that his goal with AiG is to have the Marines' famous Latin
motto semper fi ("always faithful") be applied to his ministry of traveling
around America (and overseas) to proclaim the creation/gospel message (and
thus fittingly fulfilling the Apostle Peter's command to be faithful in being
"ready always to give an answer" - I Peter 3:15).
Before becoming a Marine, Mike became a US
national champion in the track-and-field version of the pentathlon (in 1976).
His best events were the 400 meters, javelin, long jump and 1,500 meters (almost
a mile). In his professional life, Mike worked for many years in the computer
field with Microsoft (yes, he has met Bill Gates).
Ken Ham, AiG-USA president, encourages supporters
to have their church leadership contact AiG to have Mike come out and impact
their churches and communities with the creation/gospel message: "Mike is
a dynamic and passionate speaker, with a wealth of experience in creation
ministry. He already has a phenomenal reputation, and brings another exciting
dimension to the AiG outreach-including his ability to produce curriculum
for many age ranges. Mike's a great speaker and curriculum developer."

Appeal
|
The publication costs for the book "Darwin: 150 Years On" have risen somewhat, and we now need to cover £3000. So far you have been kind enough to cover the first £2000. If any of you are able to donate something towards the final £1000, please get in touch with us. Mark your donation "Darwin Book Appeal".
We would also still welcome donations towards the cost of having our DVD, "Darwin and Darwinism" translated into Albanian for distribution there. This is likely to cost about £1000. Please mark your donation for this "Albania Translation fund".

Please consider volunteering
|
I thought I would repeat last month's appeal for volunteers. If you live within easy reach of Leicester, have you
considered volunteering to help AiG? We have a small number of people who come
into the offices regularly to help and we are very grateful to them for all
their hard work. We could really do with some more volunteers, who would be
Christians and members or regular attenders at a bible-believing church.
Perhaps you could help us one day a month, or maybe one day a week.
If you would like to find out about the various
ways in which volunteers can help the ministry of Answers in Genesis, please contact us at the office, or reply to
this email, changing the subject line to "Volunteers".
