My favorite part of my concerts at the Creation Museum isn’t any song God has allowed me to write or sing. The most important part of my program is the salvation message.

John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life,” and 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

I really believe God allows me to perform because I always include his word in my concerts.

I really believe God allows me to perform because I always include his word in my concerts.

After my last concert, a young college-age student came up to me crying. She was very much under conviction by the Holy Spirit. We talked, and I again went through the salvation message. She accepted Christ as her Savior. I know angels in heaven were rejoicing.

Some of her classmates from the college were gathered around her, rejoicing as well. I know they will continue to mentor her as she grows in her faith. Yep, I had tears in my eyes along with her classmates. Glory be to God.

Our new DVD Buddy Davis’ Amazing Adventures: Alaska! has just been released. In this show you’ll see some of the beautiful scenery and unique animals found there as well as learn about some of the natural resources that the state is famous for. I also wrote two new songs just for this DVD. “Mush on Team of Husky” is a fun song about a man prospecting for gold and “Living in Alaska’s Great Outdoors” showcases the natural diversity that can be found in our 49th state.

We were excited when our Buddy Davis’ Amazing Adventures series was picked up by an international network. Our shows will be seen on over 600 television stations across Africa, Asia, and Europe. The best part is that the gospel message is presented in each one of the shows and we’re praying that many lives will be touched.

At the beginning of 2015 we released a new children’s book, Buddy Davis’ Cool Critters of the Ice Age. I wrote this with my wife Kay and our daughter Lydia. We enjoyed researching some of the remarkable animals that were alive during the Ice Age, which happened after the Flood of Noah’s day. For instance, did you know that there were beavers as large as a bear and an armadillo-type creature as large as a small car? I also had fun doing cartoon illustrations as well as some realistic drawings of these critters. If you’ve ever had questions about the Ice Age this book can provide a lot of the answers. We are excited that Cool Critters of the Ice Age will be coming out in Spanish soon.

I’m currently working on developing a new workshop to do at the Creation Museum in 2016. In this workshop we’ll be talking about Noah’s Ark and the dinosaurs that would have been on board. I can’t wait to share all the interesting information with the Museum’s guests.

We pray that you have a wonderful New Year and God richly blesses you.

Our filming in Alaska went great! We will have two new DVDs to be released sometime next year. We still have editing work to do, but we are very excited with this new project. These will be our fourth and fifth programs in the Amazing Adventures series. This series has won five different awards so far. The programs are for the entire family to watch together.

This Alaskan black bear has not shed its winter coat yet. We were able to film some brown bears as well.

Kayaking among icebergs from Columbia Glacier

We flew this helicopter with the doors off so Ryan, our cameraman, could get some really cool shots. We even landed on a couple of glaciers.

Ministry and Other Updates

“Jesus Is Alive”

Children’s Book

We were very happy to learn that our song “Jesus Is Alive” jumped to number 32 on the national Inspirational Country charts. This song is from our newest album Songs of Life, Love, and Faith.

Filming More Videos

We will soon be leaving to film two new Amazing Adventures DVDs in Alaska. These are the next in the series. Although not titled yet, one show will be on the Ice Age and some of the animals that lived thru it. The second show will be on Alaska and its animals, minerals, and beautiful scenery.

This fall, our new music DVD should be released. It was shot in our cabin and the surrounding area. The team is doing a great job editing this, and we are really excited about this project.

Caving Experience, August 30–31

I hope some of you can join us on August 30–31 for a caving experience. We will do this at Cumberland Caverns in McMinnville, Tennessee. You can get more information online at CreationMuseum.org/go/caving. Much of our latest DVD Extreme Caving was filmed in Cumberland Caverns. For those who want to, we will even camp out in the cave. I will be doing a concert, and an evening meal will be provided.

Cave Secrets of the Pterodactyl Now Comes with Audio CD

Recently we have added an audio CD to our book Cave Secrets of the Pterodactyl. This is a children’s book for all ages! There is creation teaching in the book along with a mystery and adventure. We wrote this with our daughter, Lydia, who is the main author of this project.

We believe the new audio CD will be enjoyed as families travel and also at bedtime.

Check the Creation Museum schedule to see when I will be here this summer. I do a concert every day and a workshop called “Cool Critters of the Ice Age.” Hope to see you.

Wow! This year has really gone by quickly. We are grateful to the Lord for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us. We are looking forward to another year of serving in the ministry of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum.

If you are on Facebook at all, check out my Facebook page. I post a Scripture verse every day and share what is happening with my ministry and life around our cabin. Many of you know that I live in Amish country, so we often share photos of events that are happening in our area.

New CD Available

I am excited because this year my songs are now available on iTunes, and three of my songs were on the national radio charts.

Extreme Caving DVD

Other Fun Projects

Right now we are working on scheduling of the fourth “Amazing Adventures” DVD, which we plan to shoot in early spring on the Last Frontier—Alaska.

We are putting the final touches on our new workshop for the Creation Museum titled, “Cool Animals of the Ice Age.” We will be doing this workshop every day we are at the museum. The new workshop will start sometime in January. Check out the Creation Museum schedule to find out when I will be there.

The workshop will include teaching and a sculpturing craft of an ice age animal that folks can take home. Note: This workshop is enjoyed by all ages. It lasts about an hour and I would love to have you join us.

Following the workshop, I will be doing a family concert at 3:00 PM each day I am at the museum. I love being at the museum and meeting all of the wonderful guests that come to visit. We have a great time. To God be the glory!

I am also working on a children’s book about the Ice Age. It will have cartoons, realistic pictures, and information concerning this event in history.

And lastly, we are doing a number of concerts and speaking engagements across the country. I hope to see you at one of them!

Our new “Amazing Adventures” DVD, Extreme Caving: Earth’s Incredible Underworld, has been released! We recently introduced it at the Creation Museum with a sold-out family fun night. This DVD takes you deep inside Cumberland Caverns where few people have been. In fact, we were able to film some formations for the very first time. Besides the adventure, we also interview three of our scientists about cave formation, cave men, and blind cave fish. Our guide Robby Black shares his expertise and guides us safely through the cave. The DVD also includes behind-the-scenes footage, a free movie poster, original background music, and a song that is currently on the national inspirational country music chart (see below). We also included a fun animated song about a skunk in the cave. Extreme Caving is a God-honoring delight for the whole family.

I hope that you can join me for trip to Cumberland Caverns on August 10. A variety of spelunking options are available, and you can even join me in camping inside the cave. No worries about extreme caving as we will not be in the extreme part of the cave. I am really looking forward to this event! I believe that you and your family will have a good time.

The Lord is blessing our music with a song that is currently number 12 in the national inspirational country music chart. “King of Kings” can be found on the I Am Not Ashamed CD. Our caving song, “Mammoth Cave” has also been climbing on the charts and is currently number 40. We feature “Mammoth Cave” on the Extreme Caving DVD. Both songs and more of our music are now available on iTunes. I hope that you will check them out.

We are making plans to record a new CD sometime in September or October. The release date should be in the last part of November or December. These are story songs, love songs, and gospel songs.

We have been busy traveling, speaking, and singing, as well as working at the Creation Museum. Beginning July 15, I will join Dan “the Animal Man” Breeding for Wild Animal Encounter: A Musical Extravaganza. You will enjoy Dan's expertise as he shares information on the live animals that he brings, and I’ll present a variety of songs. Come and join us at the museum for the Wild Animal Encounter.

I also hope that you can come to the museum and see my newest sculpture of a Kentrosaurus dinosaur in the Dinosaur Den:

Boy, I sure have had a busy and exciting spring this year! Starting the first of January, I offered a new workshop at the Creation Museum titled “T. rex—King of the Dragons.” That workshop has been very well attended. I have also been doing two different concerts when I am at the museum because most folks have two-day tickets. This allows them to come to my concert on each of the two days they are visiting, and they get a totally different concert each time.

I am excited about my new video in the Amazing Adventures series, called Extreme Caving, which will have its debut on June 14 at the Creation Museum. That event will be a family fun night with dinner, the showing of my new DVD, and some special guests talking about bats. It sounds like this will be a really enjoyable evening, and I hope you will join me. Check out further details on this museum blog post.

I will also be doing an overnight caving adventure at Cumberland Caverns on August 10, which includes hiking, camping, and performing a live concert inside the cave! Details for this unique event can be found on the members section of the Creation Museum website.

Another thing I have been working on is a new dinosaur sculpture for the museum—this one is of a Kentrosaurus. Right now I am working on the plates and horns and soon will be starting the skin texture. It should be finished before the end of May and will go in the Dinosaur Den area.

I have been speaking at various events in between my weeks at the museum, and I am working on a new children’s book with my daughter, Lydia. We just learned last week that it will be published, and we are so happy about that! It will be a series called “Creation Quest.” The first book will introduce the characters and take you on quite an adventure deep inside a cave. I will keep you posted on its progress, and we are hoping to have it available at the debut of the Extreme Caving DVD.

Greetings. Thanks for stopping by. A lot has been happening since our last blog post.

I teamed up with Dan Breeding in August for a wild animal encounter. Dan is an expert in handling wild critters. I sang some songs and helped Dan with the animals in our program. Our show was well attended at the museum. We are scheduled to do it again next summer. We may even take it on the road.

I just finished a conference in Hamburg, New York. Next I’ll go to Duluth, Minnesota, to do a wild game dinner, and I will be back at the museum the next week.

On October 5, I will be doing a special concert for married couples who are celebrating 40 years together. They are calling the event “Legacy of Love.” It also includes a dinner.

Our newest DVD, Swamp Man!, is doing very well. I’m so excited about this series. Each DVD also comes with an 11 x 17 inch poster of the cover. This DVD is approx. 45 minutes long.

It also has an animated cartoon of me singing a song called, “Don’t Go Down Nightmare Pass.” The cartoon is based on a true story of when Kay and I kayaked 100 miles by ourselves through the Florida Everglades. Swamp Man! has another song included as well called, “The Lord Made Me To Be A Swamp Man.” We recorded this song in a Cajun style. What fun! There are many behind-the-scenes bonus features as well.

Swamp Man! is a family show I believe you will enjoy. It is a part of our series called Buddy’s Amazing Adventures.

We’re now getting geared up to start filming our third show, which will be about Caving. We’ll be traveling to several different caves in different states. It will be another exciting family show. I can’t wait to get started.

Our newest CD is themed on Noah, the Ark and the Flood. Since our ministries, AiG and the Creation Museum, are building a full scale model of Noah’s Ark, I was inspired to write 12 new songs on this subject. The songs are full of teaching about these events. Music is a great tool that our Creator has given us to share His good news.

There are even plans for us to bring out a songbook that goes along with the new CD, Noah Believed. The songbook will have guitar chords and piano music. I’ve included a brief description of scripture references and why I wrote each song.

Since I searched for Noah’s Ark myself, there will be a short story of my adventure on top of Mt. Ararat, one of the largest mountains in the world. Also included in the songbook will be my personal testimony. I sometimes give my testimony at AiG events. Many times I’ve been asked if it is available, so I wanted to include it in the songbook.

I will be traveling to do a sharathon for KGLE radio station in Glendive, Montana, in October. I’ll be there two days on radio from 6:00 am till 6:00 p.m. I will also be doing a concert in Glendive.

Our dinosaur dig went great this year! Thanks to Otis Kline and the Creation Museum for making this possible. We found some amazing fossils of T. Rex, the super star of the Dinosaurs. I hope someday you can join us on a dinosaur dig in the Badlands of Montana.

It was great to have my good friend, Joe Taylor, on the dig with us. Joe is an expert and I appreciate his willingness to help our team this year. I’m sure I could add much more but I’ll save it for later. Again, thanks for stopping by.

To God be the Glory for ever and ever.

I’ve been very busy traveling during the past several months. Alaska, New York, Missouri, and North Carolina are a few of the places I’ve been recently. It’s always nice to get to meet new people and see old friends.

We were excited to learn this past week that our Amazing Adventures DVD, I Dig Dinosaurs, won a silver and bronze crown award from the International Christian Visual Media. This organization is the primary and most respected trade association for Christian professionals involved in film and video production.

I want to thank Ben Wilt and his team of Answers in Genesis staff, and all who helped make this DVD possible. This makes a total of four awards that I Dig Dinosaurs has received.

Our new show, Swamp Man, which is the second in the “Amazing Adventures with Buddy Davis” series, was released about a week ago. We had a lot of fun making it and have already received some great feedback from it.

Here are a couple of endorsements we received:

Buddy Davis comes across as a friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, fun-loving, God-loving swamp-man, who loves life with a passion. I found myself asking, 'Man, is there anything this guy can't do?' I learned a lot from the video: Always check your sleeping bag for snakes, don't swing on vines if you're over 40, and stay away from the Everglades.

– Ray Comfort (Way of the Master Ministry)

I've lived only a few miles from the Florida Everglades for years now, yet I learned more about them from Buddy Davis in this video than I've learned from living here! Buddy is an able and affable guide, and your entire family will enjoy being led by the "Swamp Man" on this tour of one of the most fascinating theaters of God's creative glory in the world.

– John Rabe, co-host of Cross Examine and producer, Truth in Action Ministries (formerly Coral Ridge Ministries).

We are getting ready to begin working on our third DVD, which will be about caves. It’s going to be a lot of fun!

This past month I released a new CD, Noah Believed. All of the songs are themed on Noah. I am sure these songs will be used for multiple teaching events on Noah and the Flood.

Come and join Dan Breeding and me for a great adventure this week (August 6–11) at the Creation Museum. We have two shows, one at noon and one at 3:00 PM on Monday through Saturday. It will be a lot of fun for the entire family, so come and experience the wild animal encounter.

I hope you are having a great summer—and don’t forget to check out my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/aigbuddydavis.

Spring is my favorite season, so I was very happy that it came early to Ohio this year. I’ve been enjoying all the flowers blooming and the warmer weather. At the Creation Museum the lilacs are in full bloom right now and they’re beautiful.

We were excited to find out that our song “The Bible is a Gold Mine” went up 14 points to number 28 in the national inspirational country charts for March. Arrangements are under way for another radio release—“King of Kings” from the I Am Not Ashamed CD. The folks handling my songs in Nashville felt it would do very well on radio. God is good, and we appreciate Him allowing our music to reach new audiences.

In the middle of March, the film crew from Answers in Genesis came to our home, and we worked on doing the last of the filming for our movie, Amazing Adventures in the Florida Everglades. Cowboy, our new horse, is in the film. I think he did a great job. I’m excited about this movie and even wrote two new songs for it.

Last week Kay and I visited Kaden Book at Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati. It was a blessing for us to meet Kaden and his family. This five-year-old boy is fighting leukemia and will be in the hospital for several more weeks. His favorite songs are “Woodpecker” and “Behemoth Is A Dinosaur.” He is sharing with his nurses about dinosaurs, the flood, and Noah’s Ark.

We’ve been down at the Creation Museum a lot recently, and are heading to Alaska next week. You can find out more about what we’re up to if you check out our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/aigbuddydavis.

It has been a while since we last posted, but we wanted to update you on what’s been going on here. I spent the first two weeks of December in Florida. We had a couple of days of vacation, then we spent the rest of the time working on filming our next Amazing Adventures DVD, which is all about swamps. If you haven’t gotten the first in this series, I Dig Dinosaurs, it is available through Answers in Genesis.

Doing the filming was really cool and also a lot of hard work. One day we used an airboat, and another day we went kayaking in the Everglades wilderness. We also got to do some close work with dolphins and manatees. It was strange coming home from warm southern Florida to snowy Ohio. We’re not finished with the DVD yet, as we still have to complete the opening and closing, a ton of editing, and sound tracks, etc. We have gotten a lot accomplished though, and we’re excited about it. The entire Media Team at Answers in Genesis is extremely gifted, and we are happy to get to work with them.

This fall, we also got two horses. We spent a lot of time putting up fence and getting the barn ready for them. The horses are green broke, but still need work, lots of love, and handling to fully gain their trust.

We are really excited that my song, “Singing with the Saints” (from the CD, I Am Not Ashamed), hit the Inspirational Country Charts, and is Number 22 in the nation. We just released, “The Bible Is A Gold Mine” (from the Soar CD) as our second national radio release. We are thrilled at the response and give God all the glory.

Thanks to all of you who prayed for our ministry! We appreciate you very much. We hope you have a Happy New Year and a great 2012. You can find out more about what we’re up to if you check out our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/aigbuddydavis.

I got back from fly fishing in Colorado a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I have spent my weekends building fence.

I was a guest on a video series, Samuel L. Collins and the Search for Biblical Truths, that was filmed at the Creation Museum. I had a lot of fun working with the cast and crew. Here is a photo of one of the scenes in the Garden of Eden room at the museum. We also filmed in the dinosaur den and many other rooms in the museum. It took two days to complete all of our part of the filming.

My song “Singing with the Saints” on the “I Am Not Ashamed” CD is in the national charts on Inspiration Country.

I am getting ready to film the next Buddy’s Amazing Adventures DVD on the Florida Everglades. Check out our first DVD in the series, I Dig Dinosaurs—filmed on a real dinosaur dig in Montana. It is a DVD you can enjoy with the whole family.

This week I am at the museum doing the “African Animal Adventure” workshop and a music concert Monday through Friday.

This month has been very busy. The photos I have included are of the first Dinosaur Dig in Glendive, Montana during the second week of July. We had 21 people from all over the country join me for the week. We found lots of dinosaur bones, fossilized turtle shell, alligator teeth, and some fossilized figs.

Going to the dig site

Hard at work

Another dig site

Taking some overburden off

Last week, I did 11 concerts, five workshops, and two family dinosaur tours at the museum. I was home for one day and then I flew to Montana to start our second Dinosaur Dig.

I work in conjunction with the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum. We are praying for good weather this week. If it rains in the badlands, the slopes are too slippery to climb to get to the dig site.

I have also been busy writing new music and working on the script for our new show. I was very happy to see my newest DVD, I Dig Dinosaurs on the shelf of the bookstore. It is a family show and covers lots of information about digging up dinosaur bones. It is also full of information with facts on dinosaurs from a biblical point of view. We did it in a fun way, and this is the pilot show for 13 episodes. The next DVD will be on life in the swamp.

My newest DVD!

We recently finished our annual canoe adventure through the Okefenokee Swamp. We saw lots of cool plants, a variety of birds, and over 150 alligators and other reptiles. We canoed 45 miles total with two groups of guests. It was a lot of fun.

Here at the Creation Museum, I have started my new African Animal Adventure workshop. It includes teaching about God’s design of African animals, drawing a cartoon lion, and sculpting a realistic African elephant head. At 3:00, I do a music concert for the museum guests.

I am gone on the weekends, but you can check my schedule when I am at the events page of the Creation Museum website.

I have also started a Face book page. Every day, I include a scripture verse and feature an animal as well as updates on what I am doing. Check it out at www.facebook.com/ aigbuddydavis.

I have had a busy October. During the first week, I was at the Creation Museum doing concerts and children’s workshops. From there, I flew to Word of Life in Schroon Lake, New York, for a conference along with Ken Ham. We have visited Schroon Lake several years in a row, and it is always a pleasure to go there.

We got to meet friends from years past, and make some new friends as well. Dr. John Whitcomb and his wife, Norma, were speaking at the World of Life Bible Institute. It was a real treat for us to see them again—they are special people. During the second day there, I gave my talk, “Dinosaurs—Separating Fact from Fiction” to the entire group. In the evening, I did an hour-long music concert with songs from my two new CDs, “Come on Aboard” and “I Am Not Ashamed.” I also included some of my popular songs, such as “SOAR,” “Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty” and of course, "Billions of Dead Things."

The next day, I did a children’s workshop with about 60 children, teaching them about Pterosaurs and how to defend their faith. I showed the children how to sculpture a pterodactyl head which they loved to do. We had a great time in the workshop.

During our free afternoons, we traveled to Lake Placid, New York, and also took a ferry across Lake Champlain to Vermont. The trees were in their peak fall colors and the weather was beautiful.

After Schroon Lake, I traveled to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to Calvary Chapel with Ken, Dr. Menton, and Dr. Lisle. I did four sessions with about 1,000 children during their Sunday school hour. I spoke on dinosaurs, teaching the kids how to defend their faith on this issue. Dinosaurs are used by evolutionists more than any other animal to try to pull children away from God’s Word. On Sunday evening, I did a mini-concert for the entire congregation. I did songs from my newest CDs, including “Already Gone.” On Monday, Ken and I did a children’s session. I taught the children some of my songs and brought out my pet dinosaur, Levi. I also brought along a fire-breathing dragon and some other visual props.

I am getting ready to go on a missions trip to Kenya, Africa, in a couple of days. I will be there until November 18, speaking and doing classes at the Rift Valley Academy, which is the largest Christian school in Africa. I will also be working with three orphanages. Please pray for our trip that God will use my words to bring people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

I have been busy traveling and working at the museum. I’m in Charlotte, North Carolina, this week and part of the next, where I’m recording two new CDs. Today is the first day where the musicians are all here and I’ll working with them to get the music down. These guys are top professional musicians, and great to work with. We are so excited about these CDs, and I can’t wait for the finished product to come out. These will probably be available sometime in July.

I just got back from speaking Sunday through Wednesday in Niles, Ohio. We’ve been to Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio during the past few weekends doing ministry.

In the first part of April, we went to Okeefenokee Swamp in southern Georgia with 12 others from the Creation Museum. We canoed for three days through the swamp and spent two nights camping out on wooden platforms built to hold about 14 people! We canoed a total of 32 miles through beautiful waterways lined with cypress trees. We are going to offer this trip through the Creation Museum. It was a lot of fun!

In July, I’m going to be on a dinosaur dig in Montana sponsored by the Creation Museum. The museum has a lot of programs and exciting trips planned. Keep checking the website!

We just wanted to update you on where and what we have been doing lately. We enjoyed our time spent in Cambridge, Ohio, at First Baptist Church and with the House of Samuel Ministry. We did have a little excitement when we set off the alarms at the church in the afternoon. There were other people in the church when we arrived early afternoon and we did not know that when they left, they set the alarm. We decided to go look at the room where Buddy would be doing a workshop. When we left the room where we were in, the alarm went off. I did have the pastor’s cell number and immediately called him, but we didn’t get the alarm shut off in time before the police arrived. We told them what happened, and they just smiled and left. I have a feeling that is not the first time they were called for something like this. The rest of the day was quiet.

On Thursday we flew to Fargo, North Dakota, and did a Home School Conference. Buddy did four workshops and a concert. It was very well received with lots of children attending. There were about 800 people there.

This past weekend, Buddy spoke in Normal, Illinois. He did a sculpturing workshop and a concert on Saturday evening. On Sunday, he did junior church, Sunday school, and in the evening he did the Relevance of Genesis talk. Before he spoke in Sunday school, the puppet team from the church did one of Buddy's songs about Noah, called “Problem Solved.” I have included a photo of the puppets.

We are working on getting a date when Buddy can record. We are going to do two CD’s—one for children, and one for adults/family. We will be recording at GAT3 Studios in Charlotte, North Carolina. We are so excited about this project and can't wait to hear the final mix!

We don’t know the projected date of release, but keep looking on the website for more information.

[Post by Buddy’s wife, Kay Davis.]

I have been at the museum the last two weeks, enjoying warmer weather and seeing some signs of spring such as flowering bushes and spring flowers. We have had good crowds at the museum and we have met wonderful people from all over the U.S.

I am still working on the songs for my new CD. I think it will probably be a 2-CD set. I’m hoping to find out soon when I can get in the studio to record. We have been working lately on a new children’s workshop for the museum. It is on Pterodactyls—Flying Dragons. We are finalizing it now, and hopefully will have it ready within a couple of months.

We will be traveling to Cambridge, Ohio, this weekend for ministry at First Baptist Church. I’ll be speaking during the worship service, and then in Sunday School. In the evening, I will be doing a music concert and then a children’s talk—Dinosaur Detective. On Monday, I will be speaking and doing a mini-concert at a banquet. Then at 5:00 that evening, I will be doing a children’s workshop.

Spring is a busy time, but we love the warmer weather. We also love to see the people come to the Creation Museum!

We traveled 477 miles to Binghamton, New York, on Thursday to speak at the Men’s Adventure. We got into a little ice in Ohio, but most of the roads were fine. This men’s ministry has been a yearly event for over 20 years. It is sponsored by Empire State Fellowship of Regular Baptist Churches. Craig Golden is the head and does a fantastic job of organizing this major event. There were 926 men and boys there.

On Friday evening, I spoke about my Alaskan adventure, where we found what appears to be unfossilized dinosaur bones. It was very well received. On Saturday, I started off the day with my “Relevance of Genesis” talk. Then I did an hour long concert. In the afternoon, we finished with “Dinosaurs—Separating Fact from Fiction.” I was happy to see the amount of books and CDs that the men bought. They were getting armed to be able to defend their faith. Five gentlemen, from ages 5 to 79, accepted Christ as their Savior on Saturday—the angels rejoiced!

On Sunday morning, I did the Sunday school hour and spoke at the morning worship for the host church, Central Baptist.

This week has been an adventure! We have been snowed in at home since Saturday. We arrived home to find we were without electricity. We got the wood stove started and kept the house warm, but we were without electricity until Monday morning at 11:00 a.m. There was actually an electric line down in our pond!

I am fighting a cold and sore throat, but I’m hoping to be well enough to make it to the museum. We are having a fun, behind-the-scenes get-together on Friday night, in which I willl be talking with folks in the Dinosaur Den about how I sculpture the dino models. Check out the Creation Museum web site for details.

I am working on new songs, getting them fine-tuned and also working on writing an article on Anarctic dinosaurs. We are always working on new workshops for the museum and new crafts as well.

In about a week, I will be traveling to Binghamton, New York, for a Men’s Adventure Conference. We are praying for good travel there and back and God's blessing on the conference.

We started out this morning at 7:15 from home heading toward the museum. There were a few snow flurries, but it didn’t seem too bad. We discovered on the way to Columbus that the roads were icy. We passed several cars in the ditch and one even flipped on its top. It took us approximately two hours to get through Columbus. This normally takes an hour.

However, on the other side of Columbus toward Cincinnati, there was no snow, and the roads were dry. It is amazing what a few miles will do! We arrived at the museum safe and sound.

We are still working on the new CD project and have 16 songs. Two new songs I wrote are (1) “The Books of the Bible” and (2) “The Ten Commandments.” We are excited to have this project moving forward.

I have been traveling some in Ohio over the past few days and speaking at Community Bible Church in Tipp City, Troy Christian School in Troy, and Dupont Church of the Brethren in Dupont. I was very encouraged to find these churches and schools upholding God’s Word.

May God continue to bless their ministries.

We are at the Creation Museum the first two weeks of each month doing music concerts and children’s workshops every day. The music concert is in the Special Effects Theater at 3:00 p.m. each day. The workshop is at 1:30 p.m. in the Morris Whitcomb Room. We are currently doing the “It Didn’t Happen by Chance” workshop. I show the children step by step how I built the 40-foot-long T. rex that is in the Dinosaur Den. I get them to thinking about how long it took me (two years) and that someone would not think that it just happened from an explosion in a fiber glass factory. This workshop gives the glory of Creation to our Lord, Jesus Christ.

We also do two different crafts. One is creating a dragonfly out of pipe cleaners, which the children love. The other craft is getting to actually do sculpturing. We like to include sculpturing in each of the different workshops that we do. Children just love to work with clay. They get to sculpture a Triceratops head. We change the workshop about every four to six months.

When I am not at the museum, I am working on different projects. One is the construction of metal dinosaurs. If you come to the museum, you will see my metal dinosaurs out in the garden area. I have completed five so far, and I am going to be working on a Pteranodon next. I have friends that help with the welding.

I am also going out to different churches to do ministry. I do family talks and concerts as well as wild game dinners. We were recently in Alto, Michigan, at Calvary Brethren Church, where I did Sunday school and morning worship. Sunday evening I did a music concert, and then I finished the evening with my “Great Alaskan Dinosaur Adventure” talk.

The next morning, I did a homeschool event, and Monday evening I did “Dinosaurs—Separating Fact from Fiction” and finished up with “It’s Designed To Do.” The pastor was from our home area. We enjoyed spending time with the Pastor and his wife and three adorable children. It is always a blessing for us to meet fellow believers and have a chance to fellowship with them.

I am working on some new songs for a new CD. I am fine-tuning a song on all the books of the Bible and another on the Ten Commandments. I have about 16 songs to choose from for the new CD.

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We have been busy with decorating our tree. It has snowed about two inches and has been beautiful. It has stayed on the trees for days making it an awesome sight. I hope everyone has had a chance to visit the Bethlehem Blessing at the Creation Museum.

We just received a letter from friends who were using Buddy’s songs in Alaska at a VBS. They shared that all of the children loved the songs. When they were coming back flying through Seattle, Washington, their plane was delayed there for two hours. They went and visited all the shops in the airport. They were looking at the book section of one of the stores and heard a young girl singing one of Buddy’s songs. They asked her if she knew Buddy Davis. She was surprised and said she loved Buddy’s music. Her father was nearby and joined the conversation. They couldn’t believe they met someone who actually knew Buddy Davis. It is a joy for us to hear of Buddy’s songs being used and sung all over the U.S.
