Ministry Updates

After expanding our Mobile Museum of Earth History at the end of last year, we realized the need for better work space and protection for it. In Lexington, OK our warehouse facility was long overdue for an update. So, the two projects became one and the same as we focused on improving our tools of ministry. Many of you gave extra during our Year-End Campaign to help us accomplish this need. This month we highlight the blessing of warehouse updates.

First, the warehouse building was constructed many years ago with metal halide light fixtures. They have served us well over the years, yet have their own drawbacks. The lights are bright once they warm up, which takes several minutes. Once they achieve full brightness, they consume an immense amount of power. If any of you have ever used these type of lights you know that, once shut off, they are notorious for not coming back on until they cool extensively. This all makes them less than user friendly. Our first update was to install four new LED fixtures. They are better than we expected, with more light for almost half the power consumed. The most exciting part of this update is the instant-on that LED lights bring to our work environment.

Second, the warehouse has only had one 10’x12’ roll-up garage door. It has been sufficient for years as we back in our trucks or trailers. The downside is, with just under a foot on either side of our trailers, it is always a tight squeeze. As we evaluated our space, a decision was made to add another door for another bay of use. So, we installed a new opening with a 12’x12’ door, and then expanded our original opening to a new 12’x12’ door to match the other. We also updated the door openers with new ones that actually open from our trucks - it is the little blessings that really excite us. Now with two bays and wider doors it is substantially easier to stow trucks and trailers for storage or work.

Third, since we added and widened our garage bays, new concrete was needed to aid in the entry and exit of the warehouse. So, we had two new sections of concrete pad added. Again, those little blessings that aid our work we find so comforting.

Many people may see these things as extra to what our mission is, yet to us they are allowing us to accomplish our mission more effectively. For the first time in ministry history, our trucks and trailers will be protected under a roof when home. The protection from the outside environment will lengthen the life of those resources. Our ability to work on fossils, trucks and trailers has increased with better lighting and more efficient use of space. So, all of this adds up to better use of ministry tools for the Kingdom.

Expanding Our Reach

For the week of April 6th, Ryan and I were on the road preaching and teaching simultaneously with both expanded collections of the Mobile MOEH (see photos below), marking the first time we have done this. We are able to reach more people for the Gospel now using the largest traveling fossil museum in the United States. None of this is possible without you, our faithful supporters. Please know that the Lord is using your financial and prayer support in new and exciting ways as we press forward showing the Truth of God’s Word. Blessings.

Flooded Marine Reptile

By Matt Miles • October 2, 2025

The Flood during Noah’s day was a devastating judgement against the sin and wickedness of the time. Most people focus on what the Lord did as He saved the eight people and animals on the Ark. Yet while they were being saved, the Flood destroyed the earth and left behind some remarkable things. Geology around the globe shows water burial of plants and animals. Many of the animal remains show signs of drowning and then burial. One particular reptile that shows this is the Ichthyosaurus. From what we can understand, water was her home for everything in life, even giving birth to live young. This well designed creature may even help us trust the Word of God when it comes to the history of the Flood. In our Mobile Museum of Earth History we exhibit a research replica of an ichthyosaur called Stenopterygius quadriscissus . She is from Holzmaden, Germany and is one example of hundreds that have been found in the area. The reason we can so confidently state this fossil is a “her,” when we rarely know for sure about fossil animals, is because she is pregnant. She has three babies present with her remains: one under her tail, one in or near the birth canal, and one still inside. Our fossil is in situ, which means the fossil remains in the rock matrix it was buried in. So, the presence of momma and babies are how they were buried and not articulated in some manner after excavation. This is important to show the rapid, watery burial that must have taken place to lock this scene in the fossil record. The Flood trapped organisms all over the world in different life positions. Sometimes the fossils left behind have shown eating, hunting, sleeping, swimming, nesting, or drowning. When it comes to ichthyosaurs around the planet, there is a significant number of females that seem to be pregnant. They have been found in the fossil record on at least four continents. A fair assumption would be that Ichthyosaurs had a certain time of year they mated and gave birth to young, much like sea turtles today that nest from late spring to late fall depending on the region around the world. So it should come as no surprise that we find pregnant ichthyosaurs all around the world as the Flood lasted an entire year. It would have buried the females that were pregnant near their location of habitat. Evolutionists maintain that ichthyosaurs lived tens to hundreds of million years ago and each of the mothers found in the fossil record just died while giving birth. This is difficult to support in a millions magnitude time scale. That would mean every time a disaster happened, millions of years apart, the right conditions existed to quickly bury ichthyosaurs that just so happened to be pregnant. It just might take some “faith” to trust that “miracle” would happen over and over again through eons of time. Or you can have faith that the Word of God’s history is correct with a judgement of man’s sin bringing global devastation through the Flood during Noah’s 600th year of life. The Word of God is trustworthy, with even the fossil record showing us glimpses of historical evidence in support of our faith. I’m so thankful we don’t need blind faith to trust our salvation! Blessings.

Our God Whom We Serve Is Able

By Ryan Cox • October 2, 2025

14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up? 15 …if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?” 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. 18 But if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” Daniel 3:14-18 In the 6th century BC, three young men stood up for their faith in the one true God, for which someone attempted to kill them. Today, in the 21st century AD, one young man was gunned down for his faith in the one true God. And sadly, Charlie Kirk is not the only one. According to The Esther Project, martyrdom for the cause of Christ is commonplace around the world ( theestherproject.com/statistics ). On average: 322 Christians are killed monthly. 214 churches or Christian properties are destroyed monthly. 772 forms of violence (beatings, kidnappings, etc.) against Christians are committed monthly. 100,000 to 160,000 Christians are killed annually in the 21st century. 1.093 million Christians were martyred between 2000 and 2010. And more than 70 million Christians are believed to have been martyred since the 1st century, with more than half killed in the 20th century alone under communist and fascist governments. And how should Christians respond? Peter wrote, “ if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this name ” (I Peter 4:16). Jesus took this a step further; He told us, “ …love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you ” (Matthew 5:44). Now, as Shawn Grant, minister at Kissimmee Christian Church, FL, preached on the Sunday following the assassination, th at may not be what you want to hear right now, but that is what Jesus has told us we must do. Why? So the world will see the difference Jesus makes! The night of and the days after the assassination, businesses did not have to board up their stores. Police and soldiers did not have to be deployed. There were no riots, no property damages, no police spat upon – only tears, prayers, and a witness to the world that Jesus is the answer. So noticeable is this to the world, there were more international press requests for the Charlie Kirk memorial service than are requested for Super Bowls. Within seven days of his death, Kirk’s ministry Turning Point USA had received over 54,000 campus chapter requests. And most importantly, scores of videos of young people considering or even deciding to give their lives to Jesus have been posted to social media platforms.
