Day 9: Ministry Visit to AiG (Jun 18)

Great to see Ken Ham again after our last encounter in the first ever All-Asian Creation Conference in Malaysia 2011. He was giving a relevance talk in Legacy Hall (converted warehouse space).

Finally... Eunice had a chance to see the Creation Museum! However, this is just a "sneak-peek" because we are here only for a few hours to meet up with Steve Ham and David Chakranarayan to discuss a few Answers Academy related ministry topics. (Eunice still had to spend 3 hours in the morning attending her Camp Freedom online class - of which Carl Kerby is one of the speakers!).

It was pretty amazing that we bumped into Ray Comfort's son-in-law, "EZ" (Emeal Zwayne) from the Living Waters ministry. He was there to spend some personal leadership time with Ken Ham. We are there with some personal leadership time with Steve Ham.

David took us to the Ark Encounter design studios where all the planning, artwork and layout is done. It really blew our mind to see the level of throughness and professionalism that is at work in preparing towards the launch of the Ark Encounter in May 2016! To be able to touch and feel Biblical history is certainly a faith-building experience. This Ark Encounter project will certainly propel the ministry of Answers in Genesis to the next level!

We look forward to returning to the Creation Museum again July 6-7 together with Eliza! It is going to be a wonderful family visit plus also a sneak peek into the Ark Encounter.

The Attraction of a Bumper Sticker!

I was in McDonald's yesterday evening with my two daughters when suddenly an American gentleman walked up to me and said, "Does the Toyota Innova out there belong to you?" Curiously, I said "Yes" - expecting him to point out that I did not switch the lights off or something to that effect. But his answer came as a total surprise ....

"Did you actually visit the CREATION MUSEUM?" was the response from this gentleman. Here's how he was able to link the car to me :

1. He noticed the Creation Museum bumper sticker on my car. That started him thinking.
2. When he sat next to my table at McDonald's, he thought - "Hmm, what's a dad doing here with his two kids on a school day? This must be a homeschooling family."
3. Homeschooling -> Christian -> Creation. Isn't that totally logical?!

We had such a wonderful time of fellowship! The couple was Mike and Diane Constantine - an American couple from Virginia who now makes Malaysia their second home - ministering in the area of family and church leadership. See : http://www.intermin.org

Isn't it wonderful how a seemingly innocent bumper sticker can cause like-minded folks to bump into each other?
