Echoes of Eden Newsletter - January, 2008

Welcome to the latest edition of the Echoes of Eden Newsletter!

A great deal has happened since our last (and first) newsletter that was sent out in October of last year. God has definitely been good to us and allowed us to expand our ministry's outreach!

Ministry News

We are excited to announce that the Ica stone we have been praying for has arrived!

Early last year, we contacted Dr. Dennis Swift, one of the leading experts on the Ica burial stones, and discussed how our ministry was seeking to acquire one of the stones for the purpose of research and with the hopes of using it as a tool to show that dinosaurs and man have always lived together. Late in the summer, we received a call from Dr. Swift with the news that two new stones had been discovered. Dr. Swift traveled to Peru in October and returned with a magnificent stone that depicts two men in combat with Styracosaurus.

We are awaiting documentation and results from the research analysis that has been going on since the stone was brought to the United States. As soon as we receive and digest it, we will update you with the findings. In the meantime, you can click here to see a few pictures of the stone.

Earlier this month Echoes of Eden was allowed to fill-in on the "Voice of Victory" broadcast, which airs each weekday at 12:30 PM on WLIJ 1580 AM. We have made these five broadcasts available on our website. Just visit the media section of our website, where each broadcast is available for download in MP3 format.

Recent Meetings

October 30, 2007 at Franklin Road Christian School in Murfreesboro, Tennessee
We were able to speak on Noah's Ark and the Flood - The Right Perspective in the Lower Elementary Chapel service at Franklin Road Christian School. The students were very receptive and we had a great time with them. A special thanks to Mrs. Johnson for allowing us to have an opportunity to reach young minds with the Creation message!

November 4, 2007 at Gospel Light Baptist Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee
It was a great blessing to be with Pastor Michael Mullins and the folks at Gospel Light. Despite being a very young church, Gospel Light has hit the ground running and is making a quick impact in the city of Spring Hill. We are looking forward to hearing great things out of this group of believers!

November 18, 2007 at Twin City Baptist Church in New Tazewell, Tennessee
As much as we love sharing the Creation message in churches, we enjoy it even more when we get to do it in the church of some of our dearest friends. Pastor Todd Peoples and his wife Charity are doing a great job there in New Tazewell and their people are rolling up their sleeves and helping this work move forward in an area that desperately needs Bible preaching. We were very excited and honored to witness two precious souls trust Christ during the meeting!

December 1, 2007 at Lighthouse Independent Baptist Church in Lewisburg, Tennessee
We were excited to get an opportunity to speak to the youth group at Lighthouse, but the excitement quickly turned to frustration as I realized that I had forgotten the power supply for my laptop! With my laptop powering off two-thirds of the way through the message I was sure that the night was going to be a complete disaster. The Lord had other plans though! Bro. Alan Salway was able to show up ten minutes later with a power supply and I finished the message. To my surprise, one of the teenage boys accepted Christ during the invitation! God can wreck my plans any day if it will bring souls into the kingdom! A special thanks to Mrs. Linda Salway for inviting us to share the Creation message!

January 20, 2008 at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Tracy City, Tennessee
Our meeting in Tracy City was not only a blessing, but a great deal of fun. The folks were very excited about the meetings and asked alot of great questions. We are thoroughly impressed with what God is doing in the lives of Pastor Andy Lockhart, his family, and the church people there. The food was wonderful and the fellowship was a great joy. We are expecting to hear of the Lord continuing to do great things up on the mountain!
