Looking forward to seeing you later this month, March 28th-29th, as Ryan Cox comes to share from the Book of Exodus with us. Thus far, 19 people have committed to coming! That's great! I'm sure there'll be some walk-in registrations as well.
Also, Mark Bourne will be with us April 25th-26th. He will be speaking on the subject Defense of the Christian Faith. Mark would like us to send questions to him in advance. If there are specific questions you've been asked that are objections to our Christian Faith, please email those questions to him at [email protected]. Mark will also be dealing with the most common objections we hear to our Christian Faith.
It's going to be a great Spring Institute! Don't miss it! And bring someone with you! See you in a couple of weeks!

It won't be long until we'll be gathering for our Spring Wabash Valley Christian Institute. Due to a problem at the post office, some received a November newsletter, and some did not. The schedule of speakers and dates has changed due to a conflict. The correct dates are March 28-29 with Ryan Cox speaking, and April 25-26 with Mark Bourne speaking.
Ryan will be sharing nine sessions on the book of Exodus, examining it from history, archeology, and the sacred text. Jesus said in John 5:46, ". . .if you believed Moses, you would believe Me." Sadly, the majority of academia no longer believe Moses wrote the Pentateuch.
Mark Bourne returns once again to share with us on the topic "Defense of the Christian Faith." This class will cover classic apologetic material, as well as giving special attention to issues that cause believers and non-believers alike to question God and the Bible. Such topics as: the Bible endorsing slavery; promoting war and violence; forbidding sexual freedom; apparently contradicting science; and lack of unity between believers. These and other specific reasons people give for not believing (or at least not liking) Christianity, will be addressed.
So get those registrations in! We'll see you at New Hope in Bridgeport in March!
