Testimony of Steven Dickinson

I was first introduced to AiG around October 1999 on the Internet. I don’t remember what I was looking for but AiG came up on my browser as one of the possibilities to answer my search.

“As an incentive to accomplish my dream I want to help Answers in Genesis reach their dream. I will be looking for people who are willing to donate $1 towards the Creation Museum for every mile that I complete. That would be $26 per person. If I could get 400 people to donate $26 that would be over $10,000 donated.”

Answers in Genesis did more than just answer that one search. Through listening to the online audio and reading, I found the basis I needed to explain what I already believed, that is that the Bible could be trusted and that it should be trusted from the first to the last verse. I also learned that our country needs a reformation in its belief in the authority of scripture before we can have revival. I learned that I, as a teacher (in church ministry) and songwriter need to present the gospel starting from the book of Genesis.

I have read The Lie: Evolution by Ken Ham. In fact, this was the first book we went through in our New Men’s Group at church back in November ‘99. I own the video One Blood: The Biblical Answer to Racism and showed it at a youth event.

Also, I own a copy of Buddy Davis’s songbook and CD. I had started to write a Children’s Bible Club program worked around the theme’s of Mr. Davis’ songs but that was cut short when I felt the necessity to pull my membership from the liberal church that I had been attending because of the lack of sound biblical teach. I plan to finish writing the Children’s Creation Bible Club Program so I have it ready to use in the future.

I am just plain excited over the Creation Museum that Answers in Genesis will be building. I grew up an hour north of Chicago and have visited their museums and planetarium many times. What a thrill it will be to visit a professional museum that presents the origins of life based on the biblical view. I would like to see the museum built in order to reach the lost and the saved.

About 5 years ago I wrote down that one of my life goals was to run in a marathon. I am currently training so that I may accomplish this goal in the year 2000. On October 1st, if the Lord wills, I will run in the Fox Cities Marathon, which runs through eight communities in the Appleton, Wisconsin area.

As an incentive to accomplish my dream I want to help Answers in Genesis reach their dream. I will be looking for people who are willing to donate $1 towards the Creation Museum for every mile that I complete. That would be $26 per person. If I could get 400 people to donate $26 that would be over $10,000 donated.

Working Until He Comes,
