Calendar Year Highlights

The annual theme for 2006 was "…a good foundation for the future…" (1 Timothy 6:19). We are praising the Lord that He turned it instead into a banner year of present ministry! Please rejoice and pray with us for the following:

• FaithSearch evangelists proclaimed the Gospel with evidence in the USA to a record number of people (23,000) through a record number of events (210), resulting in a record number of faith professions (2,000)—huge increases over last year.
• The FaithSearch Center continued to be an effective equipping and multiplication arm of the ministry. Training of others was the largest in our history: 430 Discovery teachers; 1,851 pastors and professionals; and 104 Growing Faith disciplers. The Bible for Life curriculum was initiated with a twelve week summer sampler series, and continued this fall with New Testament History and Survey.
• Our ministry in India has grown to include the training of all new India Campus Crusade staff, equipping hundreds of Bible College faculty to use Discovery in the training of most future India pastors, enabling over 7,000 pastors to use Discovery in their churches, and now having our own Indian "staff" who will take Discovery throughout the country.
• Spanish evangelist, Carlos Fernandez, began the US Spanish FaithSearch Discovery ministry in Dallas with a great response. Ministry was also initiated in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Peru.
• The Russian translation of Surprised by Faith was completed by our evangelist, Oleg Voskresensky, and his initial ministry in Russia has exceeded every expectation.
• Several new publications were released including three DVDs: Is the Bible True?, Jesus: Divine or DaVinci? and Revealing the Fingerprints of God; plus a participant manual for FaithSearch Discovery was developed, international translations of Surprised by Faith, and numerous support documents.
• Two web sites, www.FaithSearch.org and www.FaithSearchCenter.org. serve the ministry. The first is our primary site, with about 220,000 page requests this year, nearly double the number last year.
• Total income for the ministry increased 2% but fell short of expenses by almost $200,000 (at this writing).
