When I looked today, I saw it had been a month since I had written. I could not believe it! We are busy at the John Ankerberg Show! We are working on letters going out and also on christmas orders and gifts. It is non-stop! I really do love this time of year with all the gifts and lights and being together with family! It just seems to go by too fast anymores. People use to tell me that when I got out of college time would fly. I believe it now for sure!

Anyways, continue to pray for our ministry this month. We know of so many ministries that are laying off people and that are behind in their expenses. We have not broken even yet but we are thankful to the Lord for what he has done for us so far! Thank you for your prayers and support throughout this year! I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas!

Wow! I can't believe it has been over a month since I have written. There is so much happening at the John Ankerberg Show. For the past few weeks we have been working on packages that include the most popular programs that we have done through the years. We also just got through doing our christmas catalog that we are sending out. Last week we taped Dr. Hugh Ross who is from Reasons to Believe and we taped some mroe programs on science that we will be airing the beginning of next year. Next week we will be taping Dr. Jimmy DeYoung and he will be doing a series on Revelation that we are going to show next month.

There is much happening but we can't do it without your help and prayers. We are in changing times and we can only take one day at a time. I pray that you will consider also going with our family and Dr. Jimmy DeYoung as we go to Israel in March. You may not have this opportunity again so I hope that you will consider going with us.

I love this time of the year! Hard to believe that it is October! This is the time that we start getting ready for Christmas. Right now we are working on a catalog to send out for Christmas among other things. There are some great offers that we will have that maybe you could get for your family and friends.

I know that financially times are hard right now! It is also hard for ministries. We need people like you to help or we will cease to exist. Many of the networks we are on do not give you 90 days to get your money in. They want it right away or else that is it. The Lord has given us this ministry and we take each day by faith! But, in the mean time we need your support to get out the programming that you will not hear anywhere else! I hope that if the Lord lays on your heart to give that you will or if you can just pray for us that will be greatly appreciated! My dad has put his life into this ministry and knows that the Lord has called him to do this. So, please help if you can.

We just got back from our trip to CA. It was a good trip and we met with some of donors who give to the ministry. I like visiting CA. I would not want to live there though with the earthquakes and fires. Some of the people we saw the fires came very close to their house and because of the winds they get they had a lot of destruction.

There is so much going on right now in our country and our world. Between the election and the economy and the uprising of countried overseas it is good to know that God is in control. at our church we have been going through a series on Revelation. Many people shy away from studying revelation but in the midst of the tribulation that will happen many people will be saved and in the end the Devil will be destroyed and God will reign forever. I think of all the kings and Presidents and how they will one day bow down to God. So many think that what is happening now is so bad but they have not seen anything yet. Our God is a loving God and a God who is judge also. We are definitely getting ready for the end times. What a day that will be when He returns.

We are still broadcasting the series on the issues that will be coming up in this next election. This is a series that you need to buy for your church and friends. I have never heard anything like these programs. It was they way that Janet Parshall and her husband Craig and Dr. Frank Wright presented the material and what is at stake for our country coming up!

Next week I will be traveling with mom and dad to visit some of our donors. Pray for us as we go and also for the ministry. We have a unique ministry that presents the truth on different topics and no one else does what we do. So, pray for us as we visit with some of our donors. It is only through your support that this ministry keeps going. There are many exciting things happening now and we get to be apart of it!

This weekend we are starting a great series with Janet Parshall , Craig Parshall and Dr. Frank Wright. Many of you have heard Janet on the radio. Her husband Craig is the lawyer for the National Religious Broadcasters Convention and Dr. Frank Wright is President of the Religious Broadcasters Convention. These three discuss the issues that are going to come up with this next election and why it is important for christians to vote. God commands us to do it. There are many things that could change in the next couple of years and they outline that for us in our new series entitled "The Coming Political Earthqukae". I hope that you will buy this for your church and for your friends. This is information that you will not hear anywhere else.

I hope that you will pray for our family next weekend. We will be traveling to attend my dad's uncle's funeral. He passed away a week ago. He was a wonderful christian man who loved the Lord and did all he could for the kingdom. He also was very funny and always had a joke. We miss him but he is so much better off now and we will see him again.

Well, our family just got back from Europe. What a trip it was! We started in Rome and we saw the roman forum, the Colosseum, the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel! I loved Rome! What a place and to see so many of the places where Paul was at. We saw where he was imprisoned and it is so hard to believe that he lived in places like that for a long period of time. You definitely have more respect for Paul and all that he went through. We then left on a 10 day cruise that went to Florence, Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Naples and Pompeii, Tunisia Africa, the island of Malta and Sicily. Each place was unique and to see the culture and eat the food was fabulous! After we finished the cruise we went to Switzerland for a couple of days. All in all it was a great trip!

On this trip we were able to witness to our guides and the ones who worked on the ship. One of the guys who was a waiter at our table just got married in December and left to come work on Holland America until next March. I can't imagine the sacrifice he is making but to work on the ship is wonderful for the Indonesian people. He has such a nice smile and was very open to the gospel. It was neat to see how our guides reacted when we were witnessing to them. They know so much history and they also know that there was a man named Jesus Christ but they did not understand the whole picture of Christianity and the relationship you can have with Him. It was neat to stand in churches and present the gospel!

I say all this because you never know when you will have an opportunity to witness to people and how hungry they are for the Word of God!

In the mean time we are getting ready for another taping and I hope that you are watching our series on Israel and the alignment of the nations. This is a wonderful series to get your family members or for your church!

Well, I hope that everybody had a wonderful fourth! There is so much to be thankful for! Here in Chattanooga there were many firework displays that went on all weekend! We even had a great show in our neighbourhood.

Well, this week we are getting ready for a ministry trip to Europe! We will be gone three weeks so I hope that you will pray for us as we go. We are trying to get things ready in the meantime which takes time to do! When we get back it will be August and time for school to start again! Hard to believe how fast this summer is going!

We will be doing a taping in August with Janet Parschall and her husband and Dr. Frank Wright who is the president of the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. This will be a series you will want to buy. It is all about the laws and decisions that affect us both now and in the election ahead. We will also be airing out next series on Israel. This will be about the countries that are borders to Israel and what that means as far as prophecy is concerned. You will not want to miss it!

So, pray for us as many things are coming up and for our safety as we will be traveling!

Well, this past Sunday was Father's Day! I am very grateful for my father and that the Lord has allowed him to live longer. It was just two years ago that he went in for open heart surgery. It is one thing when something happens to say your aunts and uncles or your grandparents, but when it comes to your parents it really hits home. I knew that the Lord would bring him through but it was still a valley that the Lord took my mom and myself through that I learned to trust him more. The passage in the Bible that helped me through that time was Psalm 103. I had heard Dr. Michael Easley preach on this the Sunday before my dad went in for tests and I did not know how much that passage would mean to me. I hope you will read that today. It is very comforting and encouraging.

Things are going well here at the ministry. We are getting ready for new programs to come up and my dad is working on some other books that are coming out soon. I hope that you will continue to pray for his strength and for guidance as we try to figure out what we need to do for this fall!

Well, we just got back from a wonderful week at the beach with our family. We had 12 people , a baby and two dogs. Needless to say it was quite hectic. Speaking of the new baby, he was born three months ago to my cousin and her husband. His name is Levi and he is so precious. It is amazing to me how things are changing rapidly in our family. I look at my cousins who not long ago were small and now they are in college and wanting to be pastors or some kind of teachers. How fast time goes by.

Anyways, now it is back to work and we have just a few weeks to get things done before we go on our cruise to Rome. Our staff is working overtime right now which is tough but we need the Lord's help and I hope you will continue to pray for my dad and our staff in all that is being accompished. The Lord has been very gracious to us and we thank Him for that everyday!

Well, today I am very excited because this week coming up we are going on vacation with our family! This is our annual beach trip! This year we have 12 people with a baby and two dogs that will be going! It will be a wild time!

I hope that you have been watching the series we are doing on Israel. This series has taken a long time to put together because there are so many graphics to go along with the material we are presenting. Many people think that my dad just gets on and talks every week but he is the writer, producer and everything else that comes along with putting a tv special together. I hope you will pray for him along with our staff. Everybody works so hard and long hours. No one has any idea how long things take and if computers don't work that puts you behind even more!

The next series we will be going to will be with Dr. Richard Land who use to be the head of the Southern Baptist convention and Dr. Erwin Lutzer who is pastor of Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, IL. They will be discussing issues with politics and christians and should we be involved and what side does God favor? Does he favor democrats or republicans? Should we as christians be involved with politics? They have some great insight into all of this. Those programs will start in June. So pray for those programs as they go out.

It is hard to believe that May is here. In our family May is a big month because not only do I have two cousins who have birthdays but my mom's birthday is this month also. I have to brag a little on my mom. She is a godly woman who is behind my dad 100%. I don't know what my dad would do without her. She carries so many jobs not just at work but she also takes care of her mother and her own family as well. I am very thankful for my mother and all she does. She will definitely be rewarded someday!

We are in the process of editing our newest program on Israel. Speaking of which ,today is the anniversary of the state of Israel. What a day that was for them 60 years ago. I hope you will tune into our program because no one else has the footage and the material that we do on the subject of Israel.

One last thing I want to comment on is how saddened I am to hear about the earthquake in China and the disasters that have happened in many places overseas and here in the US. It just goes to show that we are getting closer to the Lord's return. The Bible talks about earthquakes and disasters that will happen in the end times. I hope that you are ready like I am for the Lord's return! How exciting to know how close it could be!

My how time flies and I forgot that it had been a whole month since I had written. In April my parents flew to Israel and taped for over two weeks a series with Dr. Jimmy DeYoung that we are going to start airing on May 11. It is going to be on the 60th anniversary of Israel and I hope you will tune in because there is some great information. Meanwhile, we have been busy at the office doing tapings and our series right now on Islam has gone very well. I have loved talking to new people that have never seen the show!

This past weekend we went to a conference in Branson MO. That was my first time there and it was beautiful. My dad spoke along with Dr. David Jeremiah, Kay Arthur and Norman Geisler just to name a few. Many people were saved and that was wonderful to see! We were not able to see any shows but we went to a restaurant that Andy Williams owns and it was great food. He still comes in every day and checks what is on the menu and he performs six nights a week and sings for an hour. He is remarkable at the age he is. So, if you ever go to Branson go to the Moon River cafe. It was great!

You have not heard from me because I was on vacation last week in Hilton Head Island. It was beautiful weather and a much needed break! So, this week has been catch up for me. We are getting ready to do some programs that have to do with Israel and so mom and dad are traveling right now both here and overseas.

The work has been busy and it is not stop. We have had a good response to our current program which is on the Protestans and Catholics and what they agree on and disagree on. It has brought about some interesting calls. Our next program we are going to is going to be on Islam. I love the Islam series we did because the two brothers we had on were former muslims and to hear their story of how they came to know the Lord is so fascinating. This information is so good and I hope you will tune in to hear it.

I almost forgot that it has been awhile since I have updated what has been happening. This past weekend we went to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention which was held in Nashville TN. It was a great weekend and we were able to hear the President of The US too! He came and spoke for our group on Tuesday. What a sincere man. Whether you voted for him or not, he is a man of God. He gave his testimony of how he came to know the Lord and he talked about things with the war and then he ended with how much of a pleasure it was to serve all of us over the past couple of years. I have never heard a president say what a pleasure it was to serve.

I am not trying to be political but there are a lot of issues that are important with this next election. Not just about picking the right judges or taking a stand for life, but also issues with us as broadcasters that may no longer be able to broadcast because of hate crimes and the fairness doctrine. So, we need to start praying now for the right person to be put in.

I want to say thank you for your support in the past few weeks - we have received many donations to help our financial crisi and we are very thankful. Last night I read in Philippians the verse that says "But My God Shall supply all your needs". How true this is. The Lord does come through for us in His timing.

We have seen many miracles and it is only through the Lord that these things happen. I don't know what we would do without Him. What a God we serve.

On a political note I attended a dinner this past weekend for Republicans. It was very informative especially about the presidential race and we had some of our senators there that represent our state. In my spare time I try to get involved with a group here called the Young Republicans. I enjoy it because you get to hear what is happening with the party that I vote for.

Well, continue to pray for our ministry this week. My dad is getting ready to do some other projects and they require time and money. Continue also to pray for his strength each day - he definitely needs it!

I want to say thank you to the ones who have sent in donations to our ministry. It is a good start but we are not to our goal yet.

We are working on many projects that are coming up so I hope that you will pray for the ministry and for my dad in all that he is doing.

He is doing well and has more strength now. It has been over a year and the recovery time has gone very well.

We have had many people to write in and say how much the program has meant to them. One lady wrote and said she got saved at a meeting my dad did in Maryland. It is so wonderful to hear about how the ministry has touched people. That is why we are here and we will not stop until the Lord says it is time.

Well, it has been a few days since I have written. It has been very busy at our office. One thing we are facing is the financial difficulties. In our ministry, we face this a lot. During the times when you think that you are done, the Lord comes through for you and He already knows these things will happen.

I decided on my own to give more than half of what I make to our ministry. I did not do that to bring attention to myself. I gave because it is God's money and not mine. I am a person who gives continually and I want to help people. We have a need and I felt the Lord telling me to give. That is exactly what I did.

I want to say thank you for those of you who stand behind our ministry. If you really knew my dad you would see how much his heart is in this ministry and we are here for you and to help you in your christian walk. We follow the verse that says "Be Ready to give an answer". We want to equip others with what to say.

Well, yesterday my parents got home from traveling for two weeks. They had a good trip but trying to get back into the work that is here. It is nice to have them back because I take on a few more responsibilities when they are gone. I don't mind it but I am taking care of their house, my grandmother nd our office. Life gets to be fun.

I am glad that January is almost over. It is such a boring month to me. First, all the decorations are down so things look dark. Second, it has been extremely cold here. In TN we are not use to temperatures staying in the range of 19-25 degrees. Now, I know that is a heat wave to some people but for us in the south that is cold. We even got some snow which was beautiful. I figure if it is going to be this cold we might as well have more snow.

This month is a hard month for us at the ministry finance wise. I credit my dad so much because he is very careful with spending God's money and using it for the right purposes. That is one thing I will take away with me about my dad is how wise he is in the decisions that are made. Thank you for standing with us and continue to pray for our ministry.

Well, I can't believe where the time has gone - January is flying by. It has been very busy around here. I finally feel like I am catching up! Right now my parents are gone. They are meeting with folks who give to our ministry. It is nice when they are gone because we can actually get things done around the office. I am finally getting caught up which is rare.

We just finished a series we did on the tv program "Lost". I don't know if you watch it but I am an avid fan and it is very interesting how the show has christian themes throughout. If you have not watched it you should. It definitely is a deep program and has lots of symbolism.

Coming up this Sunday we are starting a new series we taped of a debate on the book of Revelation. It was between Mark Hitchcock and Mr. Hank Hanegraaff. It was very interesting and both sides presented their cases. I hope you will watch.

I hope you will continue to pray for the ministry. January is always hard because it is after Christmas and so our giving is usually low. We are the ONLY apologetics ministry that presents and defends the faith and we can not do it without the help of people. So, I hope that you will give if the Lord allows you too and also pray.
