A Word of Thanksgiving

G. Thomas Sharp • June 2, 2022

     I am considering the scripture in Philippians 1:3-6, "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Always in every prayer of mine for you all making requests with joy, For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ".

     I want to express my thankfulness to the Creation Truth Foundation staff because they have faithfully and effectively continued to carry the torch for CTF since my retirement. Matt and Theresa Miles, Bob and Michelle Dugas, and Ryan and Amanda Cox have been exceptionally faithful!  And Diane and I are very appreciative of this fact!  They assumed the leadership of CTF and have punctually supported us financially and spiritually since my retirement.  

     We also want to thank all the CTF donors that have faithfully supported this ministry for over thirty years. We could not have taken this journey without our wonderful partners (thank you so very much!). I felt like it was time to let everyone know how thankful we are that the work of Creation Truth is in good and faithful hands.

     Wow! Where did the time go? But thirty years goes by in a heartbeat when you are enjoying your work, and the CTF Staff has greatly facilitated this transition in a splendid fashion! In a word, they have made a potentially serious and difficult transition very easy! PTL!

     Just a word of thanksgiving to all of the many CTF Partners that have been so incredibly faithful. As Paul told the church in Philippi, my memory of your many calls, letters, and instances of financial help over the years are phenomenal. I am reminded of the old hymn that I have sung many times that says, “When I think of the goodness of Jesus, and what he has done for me, my soul cries out, ‘Hallelujah!’” To God is the glory!

     I have declined having triple bypass surgery at this time, but I am feeling good. Seeing that I will be 80 in July, we are going to trust God because we are in good hands. You will be in my prayers often.

Yours in Christ,

G. Thomas Sharp

Summer of 2025 is two-thirds finished. We have taught at 7 different camp weeks along with 6 VBSes. Ryan and I have had a busy summer for the Kingdom. Our travels have stretched from Ohio to Colorado and all points in between. We have taught in churches and connected with many supporters and friends. This summer, as usual, ministry has taken us away from family for periods, but there has been great returns for the sacrifice - more than fifteen souls have been added to God’s eternal Kingdom and even more seeds planted with life-changing fruit produced, from the young to old. Again and again we encounter students that are fired up with a passion for knowledge of the Word of God. As these students have found answers to questions or faith-challenging issues, they are better equipped to share their faith. This summer we have had the opportunity to reconnect with many students whom we taught at a younger age. Now they are in their teens or heading to college. Their testimonies of strengthened faith because of the mission God has called us to is more than rewarding. It never gets old to meet grandparents, or even great-grandparents, during VBS that have lived their lives as followers of Christ yet have never seen the impact of Genesis to the Gospel. Just yesterday this happened with a grandmother who was overjoyed and appreciative of our teaching and message. Knowing more about dinosaurs Biblically allows for them to have new lines of communication with their cherished grandkids. Our ability to give these great warriors of the faith answers that can impact their families for eternity is priceless to us.  Please continue to lift us up in prayer as our summer is not over yet. As always, know that your support is making an impact for the Kingdom that we are eternally grateful for. If you are thinking about having us come next summer, don’t hesitate to contact us as summers fill quicker than the rest of the year. Summer has and will continue to be a crazy busy time for Kingdom work. Blessings.
