It has been awhile since I have spoken so I thought I would let you know what was happening. This is a busy week because this is the week we get out monthly letter out. We have a very small staff and everybody does about 5 jobs.

Our series on DaVinci has done well. Now that the movie is out it seems that it has calmed down. We still need to understand what all the fuss is about. That is why we are now offering a series my dad did some sermons on as to why it is we believe the Bible. This is a great series for college students and for pastors also.

Our family is going on vacation which will be nice. I hope that you will continue to pray for our ministry.

Each day I get to talk to many people. In the past few weeks, I have talked to quite a few that have learned so much from the program and ordered our DaVinici series because it was clear and concise. They also told me that our program is the only one that will tackle not only movies that come out but any issues whether it is controversial or not.

How true this is. There are many ministries out there preaching the gospel but my dad started the John Ankerberg Show to stand up for truth in many different areas. Whether it be other religions or social issues, our ministry is to proclaim what the Bible says and have the opposing side come on the program and defend what they believe vs. the Bible. That is what we are fighting right now in our world. With so many books coming out and saying that Jesus was a mere man and not divine and now you have the DaVinci movie, we have to stand up for what is right and defend who Jesus Christ is.

If you have been watching you will see that the DaVinci movie was not liked overseas. Even the people here in the US that have seen it do not give it a very high mark. I was reading in people magazine and they said basically that the movie was long and it just was not done well. I am going to see it probably this weekend because I have read the book and I want to see what they do with it.

On another note, this past weekend our family went to Indiana to see my cousin graduate from college. The school she went to had a tragedy about a month ago where three seniors died in a wreck. Some other students died and some were injured. An 18 wheeler came across the median because the driver fell asleep. It was very sad at the graduation because they were so close to graduating and the Lord took them home. They honored them and they also gave the families their diploma. It made me realize how precious that family and to make each day count for one another because you do not know when that will be your last.

A little more about me. I graduated in May of 2000 from Bob Jones. I really did love the school and all the friends I made. I loved the dorms because I am an only child. Not only did I get an education but I also got educated more in the fine arts. Every year they would do a professional opera and Shakespeare plays that were very well done.I can hardly believe it has been 6 years.

This weekend mom and dad are going to chicago and dad will be taping the broadcast for next week on Moody. I hope that you will pray for that and also that many people will understand the truth behind the DaVinci Code.

So, another day and a little more about me. I am an only child which I really have loved. I have been able to travel many places with my parents and have been to most of the US and I also have been to Israel, the Greek Isles, Istanbul, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Brussels just to name a few.

I went to a private high school that was all girls. I really enjoyed it. Statistics show that girls learn better without guys in the classroom. That was very true where I went to school. It was a great prep school and really helped me prepare for college. After graduation I went to Bob Jones University which is in Greenville, SC. When people hear that they say that it is so strict. You have to have rules when you have a big school. I didn't mind it and it is not for everybody to go their. My major was in communications. I really enjoyed the people and I made a lot of friends. Anyways, I will tell you more later.

Today I did another commercial which I am doing frequently. I really enjoy it and I hope that some of you will be able to see me on our tv program.

I wanted to also remind everybody that my dad will be on the radio for Moody next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for 1 hour on prime time america. He will be the moderator and the panel will include Dr Erwin Lutzer, Dr Darrell Bock, Dr Michael Easley and Ted Baehr. They will be discussing the DaVinci Code and it is something everybody needs to hear.

I also wanted to tell you a littl more of what I do at the ministry. We are very small so we all do about 5 different jobs. I am over the shipping department and take care of all your orders and I also am over all the letters that go out from here. I also do commercials and PR for the show. I have been working full time since May 2000. I love working in the ministry and with my family. I know that I will not do this forever but I enjoy it now. I will from time to time tell you a little more about me.

At our ministry we get many calls from pastors who want our resources to use for their congregation. I hope that you will as lay people encourage your pastors to come to our website and check out the resources we have available. One interesting thing that we have is where you can download MP3 files onto your IPod or onto a cd. We are trying to change our format so that it is user friendly in this day of technology. I personally have an ipod and I love it. On mine I have mostly music but I eventually want to put more resources on it that can help me.

I had an interesting conversation with our mail man the other day on the Davinci Code. He is a christian but did not understand what the book was all about and why we were upset by it. I was able to tell him about the book and when I made it clear to him he saw it in a whole new light. He was going to get some of our materials to help him and others. I also had a conversation with a pastor today who had heard of the DaVinci Code but did not know what it was all about. In the end, I sold him on getting materials we have. We need to continue to get the word out that this is not christianity. I keep pounding away at this but we need to get the truth out.

This week I want to let you in on some feed back that has come in concerning The Davinci Code. We have had many pastors and teachers call in to show our programs that we did with Erwin Lutzer. More and more I hear of pastors teaching on The Davinci Code which I think is so needed. I personally finished the book and even though Dan Brown is a good writer he does not have his facts straight and he slams christianity based on what we believe and hold our faith on. I also want to mention that my dad will be on the Moody radio Network on the 17th-19th of May on Prime time with some other men talking about the movie and why it is critical to understand the basis for this movie.

I am sure that many of you heard about the marching of the illegal immigrants. If you are going to live here you need to speak English and why would we give up our national anthem to be in spanish? This is our country and if you live here you abide by what we have. I am all for them working in our country if they are legal. Yes, our country is unique in that you have freedom of speech but it has gone too far.
