Welcome to the second edition of the Midwest Apologetics newsletter.  Each month we will keep you informed on the latest news concerning the ministry.  In this edition, I want to update you on the latest changes at Midwest Apologetics.

The Website: New and Improved

If you looked at the website within the first few days of receiving the previous newsletter you will probably want to look again.  We have completely redesigned the website integrating a new color scheme and a much sharper, professional look.  We have continued to add articles and reviews, and we got a good start on our Q & A page.  In addition, each of these pages has been redesigned to make it easier to access the files.  The “Messages” page has also been completely reworked with several new talks being added.  Take a look and let us know what you think.

We’re Off and Running

On Sunday, June 26, Tim spoke at Grace Church (EFCA) in Viroqua, WI.  We received numerous encouraging comments after the challenging message entitled “Did God Really Create Everything in Six Literal Days?”  We will be posting some of the comments on the website in the near future.

Upcoming Events

July 10 – Grace Evangelical Free Church / Stewartville, MN 

Tim will be leading a Sunday School class at 9:30 and preaching the main message at 10: 30.  The Sunday School topic is “Clearing Up Common Misconceptions” and the sermon will be “How to Handle Bible Difficulties.”  We are looking forward to this wonderful opportunity God has provided for us to share His Word and hope to see some of you Minnesotans there!

(see website for more details)

July 17 – 22 we will be attending the Mega Conference at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA

We are hoping to add a couple of more speaking engagements before the end of the summer.  Two weekends in August (13th & 20th) are already filled by weddings, although the 14th and/or 21st may possibly work out.  Please contact us if you would be interested in having Tim speak at your church or youth group.

Please keep us in your prayers in the coming weeks and months!

Miscellaneous Updates

-         We have purchased a video projector to use with our PowerPoint presentations.  If you have a screen or some open wall space we are capable of presenting our talks at your venue.

-         We will be moving near Dubuque, IA at the end of this month so please pray that the transition goes smoothly.

-         Following Tim’s talk at Grace Church we were asked how a person could donate to the ministry.  We were planning to wait until January to apply for 501(c)(3) status.  We have begun filling out the necessary paperwork for this and will update you on this lengthy process.  In the meantime, contact us via email if you are interested in donating to the ministry.

If you have any questions, comment, concerns, corrections, ideas, etc., please email us and let us know.  Thank you!
