Merry Christmas 2022

Matt Miles • December 15, 2022

   This year we have focused on SEEING THE UNSEEN, 2 Corinthians 4:18. As I wrote last month, the troubles currently in the world don’t make us happy but we should still focus on being thankful for the Lord’s overwhelming blessings. Those are the eternal blessings we have been shown as a reminder of our hope. Let’s not forget this important concept during the Christmas season.


   Imagine Joseph and Mary’s situation as she became pregnant. Joseph had to trust the Lord even though the yet unseen child was not how he had planned his future. Mary understood and accepted her role of giving birth to the Christ child. Even so, I can’t imagine her life being stress-free following the proclamation. They both relied on the Lord to show them moments of blessing in the midst of uncertainty. Zechariah and Elizabeth come to mind as a specific example of the Lord’s blessing and encouragement for them during that time.


  Then they saw the unseen as the Magi showed up on their doorstep. However, the blessing of their infant son was soon overshadowed by a proclamation of death to all male children under two in the region of Bethlehem. Think of the distress they must have experienced when a law was passed that might affect their family and livelihood, though once again the Lord’s plan for our eternal salvation would not be thwarted. The recent visit from the Magi surely gave hope in despair when they needed it.


   This Christmas look for the eternal in the midst of the temporary. The birth of Christ was and is the exact peace, joy and hope we need right now. The eternal plan began before creation and will be completed at the Son’s second coming. What an opportunity we have this Christmas to SEE the UNSEEN through the celebration of the Son’s birth - a celebration of peace, joy, hope and life. This is a great time to remember your salvation, Amen!


   Your support of this ministry over the year has allowed us to SEE the UNSEEN more times than we can count. It is through your prayers and financial support that we are able to continue this vital Kingdom work year after year. Thank You! On behalf of all the Creation Truth Foundation staff, we wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


We look forward to be SHAKEN by the Lord next year!

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.
