Vice President's View
By Roy Kruse
I recently returned from India where Denny McKeever and I conducted
thirteen FaithSearch Discovery events in eleven days!
It was a challenging trip, as we had a full schedule and it
involved several long connecting trips by land. (You haven't
lived until you've traveled India's congested, narrow, and extremely
rough roads.) But God kept us safe and healthy, and we were
blessed to continue bringing the Gospel with evidence to India,
training over 2,000 people in so short a time. This included
the entire student body and faculty of one Bible college, which
was a highlight for me. These are the future spiritual leaders
of India, and they have now been equipped to use FaithSearch
to proclaim the Gospel with confidence in whatever ministry
the Lord leads them to undertake.
I also gained a new perspective this time as a presenter, as
Denny and I shared leading the events. It was of particular
joy for me to see the audience respond as we explained the ten
"Ah-ha!" discoveries of FaithSearch.
In every event, their faces brightened and their smiles broadened
each time a new discovery was revealed. They are very vocal
and participatory at this point, and unashamedly shout "Ah-ha!"
almost in unison.
At the lunch break, one pastor in Tuticorin enlightened and
profoundly encouraged me when he said, "We are not just
saying the word 'Ah-ha!' We're actually excited
to be learning new things."
Bringing this excitement and new understanding is what we at
FaithSearch are all about. As you can see by
this newsletter, we're doing it all over the world. After all,
as our mission statement makes clear, we exist to "proclaim
the Gospel with evidence to all peoples everywhere." We
do this through direct evangelism and through training others
to use FaithSearch Discovery in their own ministries.
Whether here in America—as we've been doing for some thirty
years, and will continue to do—or in India, Mexico, Ukraine,
Belarus, or the Philippines; and whether with complete freedom,
or under strict governmental restrictions, this mission statement
unifies our ministry and keeps us focused.
In all of my (literally) millions of miles of global travel,
I have observed that there is very little of this kind of ministry-proclamation
and training with evidence-being done. FaithSearch
Discovery fills a unique niche and meets a critical need,
especially in these times. God is giving us many opportunities
to fulfill this mission—it's almost overwhelming—and we are
met with great response wherever we go.
We are thrilled to be partnering with God in the proclamation
of His Good News in this way. We are also thankful to be able
to partner with you in making this happen. I hope you will find
something of interest in this newsletter, something to encourage
and excite you to continue your involvement with FaithSearch.
