Our Need is Met

Matt Miles • March 19, 2019

Our need has been met, Praise the Lord! As you know, since the end of last year we have been in need of a newer truck to haul our smaller rig of dinosaurs. We started this campaign in November and this month the Lord provided just the right truck. It has been an overwhelming weight lifted from us to know that, going forward, we have a newer truck with many years of service ahead of it. The truck is a 2015 Ram 1500 with only 18,000 miles. It even came equipped with a topper shell ready to protect our telescope for camp/VBS season. The support for this that came in above and beyond our monthly needs is truly amazing. It is paid in full, along with tags, taxes, title, and insurance increase. We may even have enough to cover a few outfitting necessities to help the truck meet our specific needs. The Lord is so good!

We had some reservations about starting a campaign going into our “slim” months. Each and every month we are encouraged to accomplish our mission of teaching disciples to trust the Biblical history founded in Genesis and in return trust the promises for our eternal destiny. This encouragement comes through our supporters in prayer and financial gifts. As most of you know, our monthly financial support only takes care of a portion of our needs. Our preaching and teaching engagements help us continue our mission in more ways than one. In the months that we do not have invitations to preach or teach, our finances are impacted negatively. We have had several of those months this year, but through the generosity of those the Lord has touched to send special gifts, we are sustained.

The Lord is our sustainer and provider. He has done this through you, our great supporters: family members, friends, churches, brothers and sisters in Christ. That financial support comes in all sizes of gifts but is always just what we need. With the Lord, our mission will continue and this year is shaping up to be another great one for the Kingdom. We are traveling to many new churches and will reach even more people with the message of Truth. If you have thought about having one of us come to your church because it has been a while since we’ve been there, please call. We actually still have several open dates we would love to fill. Blessings to all and again thank you for your faithful support!

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.
