It is amazing to me how well the series on Revelation is doing! I can tell that people are hungry for the word and they want to know more about the things to come! We will be showing this one more week and after that we are going to do a series about Jesus' resurrection from three different series since Easter is right around the corner.

My dad is doing much better from his back surgery and he has been in the office this week! We are getting ready for some tapings and also my dad is working on some book projects in the mean time! We are very thankful as a staff that our ministry is doing as well as it is even during these tough times!

I hope that you will look at our site on facebook and also look at our videos on YouTube that we are putting together! We have had many responses on facebook and it is so neat to hear how the ministry is influencing lives!

When we went to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention last month, they really stressed networking and getting your ministry out on such places like Facebook, YouTube and others. When we got back, we have been working on doing that! My dad now has a facebook page where we have posted pictures and where we also have a group that you can join called the John Ankerberg Show. This is run by our staff by I do show my dad who his friends are and what pictures and videos have been put up! This is producing some great results and we hope to continue to grow it more! I hope you will check out Facebook and YouTube! You can also go to our website at www.johnankerberg.org and we have links to some of the networking places that you can go for the ministry.

This past weekend my mom and I went to Atlanta to see our family! My second cousin turned 1 and he is so adorable! When we go on vacation this year it will be very fun especially with him and seeing how he likes the water! I am glad that our family is so close that we can go down for a day! My aunts actually left yesterday to fly to Norway for some meetings that they are involved in with their job! So, pray for them if you think about it!

Things are moving along here at the show! My dad had minor back surgery but is doing well! We are making plans for the programs to come! We have been playing a series on Revelation that Dr. Jimmy DeYoung did on our program! We are very thankful for the response that we have received! Times are getting hard especially for small businesses like ours! We do not know what the future holds but we know God is in control! I am saddened by the loss of jobs that people have experienced in this country! I always want to help people and I wish I had lots of money so that I could help those in need and get them back on their feet! Anyways, thank you to all who are supporting us and continue to pray for our ministry!

Well this week I am going to stray a little from talking about the ministry happenings. I am a person who gets pulled into shows like American Idol. Now, the reason I like it is because I love to hear the voices that people have(whether good or bad) and I do like to hear what Simon says! Now whether you agree with me or not Simon is usually right about people. Many people do not like him because he bluntly says what he thought about the person and their song. Now, sometimes I do disagree with him but most of the time he is right! It got me thinking about the fact that in our lives we need people to tell us bluntly how we are doing in our walk! We need to be accountable to each other more often! I know that in my life that I should be more accountable to people who really need it or to say how are you doing in your walk? I don't have to be a Simon but I can definitely help people in their walk by being honest with them!
