CREATION ADVENTURE WEEK!

One of the most demanding and rewarding ministry opportunities last year was our first Creation Adventure Week, which we held during a Chinese Retreat. 

We taught our VBS curriculum plus many additions

 for five days December 21-25 

to about 170 Chinese children grades 3-6.

Thankfully, the children all understood English. It was a privilege to be allowed to teach them, and we trust that it gave them a greater understanding of the Christian worldview, their need for repentance, and the one way of salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. They had a lot of questions that we were able to address both during teaching times and some one on one. Thank you to our many friends who were praying over this time of ministry and those who assisted us in registering, sitting among, and counseling children. God was at work! About 30 of these precious young people came back for counseling during the week and many decisions for Christ were made. Although we were not able to keep track of every counseling decision, 27 salvation decisions were recorded from the combined children's groups at the conference. Praise God!

Sadly, some of the children we talked with (even some from Christian homes) were questioning the existence of God. The teaching of Evolution and its godless humanistic worldview is prevalent and pervasive in every facet of education, government, and media and is affecting the lives of children and adults--whether we want to believe it or not. The truth of God's Word must be presented and upheld. The lies of Satan's humanistic reasoning must be refuted and exposed. We must be actively living and sharing the truth we have in Christ. Prayer is essential, for God is the One Who gives power to reject lies and embrace the truth! 

Please Pray that...

• the Holy Spirit will bring conviction of sin and the need for Christ to the hearts of those who have heard but have not yet believed in Him for salvation.
  
  
• the young Chinese believers will continue to embrace Christ and stand for Him all their days.

• the parents of these young people will come to know the Lord and grow mightily in His Word so that they can instruct their children in righteousness and help them to see and reject Satan's lies.
  
  
• God will empower us and that we will be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit as we seek to share His truth with others.

2012 Report

Dear Praying Friends,

Thank you so much for your prayers, support, and the love and care you have shown us. We know that God has used you greatly to enable us to travel for the Creator. This has been a full year of ministry and growth as we have seen God work even in our weakness. We have had sorrow as a family as we lost our first grandson in the womb, and joy as we see God's love and healing power, not only for heartaches, but in Bryan's tremendous health improvements. 

Spring
was a time of giving presentations and making preparation for VBS. 

Summer 
was a wonderful season as we saw hearts and lives turn to the Lord

 during VBSs and camp and amazing answers to prayer. 

Fall 
allowed us opportunity to get out in God's creation, stretch ourselves

 in new areas of ministry like teaching a high-school biology class, 

and invite others to join God's creation in celebrating a 
“Creation Thanksgiving.”

Winter 
began with us hurrying to complete necessary projects

 to keep our home dry before the snow fell and

 Stan had the joy of performing two weddings for family members

 down in the Kansas City area.
 We were able to have meetings in KS and MO, 
including presenting our Christmas Family Tree program. 

The highlight of December was teaching at a Chinese Retreat!

By the end of 2012 , we had at least 43 meetings in churches

14 other meetings such as nursing homes, 
homeschool gatherings, and schools

6 weeks of VBSs / 1 week of Camp / 5 days of Chinese Children's Ministry

Manned witnessing booth and sang at a 5-day Camp Meeting in Ohio

Participated in tract distribution and street witnessing

As well as singing in many churches, homes, and for special occasions

Our mileage in 2012 was 28,400!

This past year we spent some time out west and added Montana to our list of states where God has enable us to share about our Creator Saviour. While in Montana for a week, we spoke several times, made some new friends, and did some research on the side.

At the new Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum in Glendive, MT, we found excellent displays and the information presenting the 
biblical creation viewpoint of dinosaurs

as well as the many other fossils laid down by the Flood.

Another neat time of research took place at

Medicine Rocks State Park in Ekalaka, MT

where we found evidence of the Flood. We wrote an article and included many neat pictures of our findings. You can read the article,

For the Creator,

The Stan Myers Family
