Springtime Greetings from Creation Encounter

"Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples ... For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens."
Psalm 96: 3&5
Dear Friends,

Talking about creation is a natural and biblical way to open the conversation with unbelievers about God. The beautiful DVD, God of Wonders, shows how God's created wonders provide an ideal springboard to share the Good News. This indeed has been our experience on many Creation Encounter Tours. As one participant said, "I now have more confidence to talk about creation and use that as a way to share my faith."
"Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!"
Psalms 105:1-2

Homeschool Science Camp – June 7-11

This year's Homeschool Science Camp is scheduled for June 7-11 at Camp Adams.

If you have interested students or have some expertise to share, please contact John Hungerford at 503-824-4747 or www.HomeSchoolScienceCamp.com.

Custom Field Trips for Your Group

Creation Encounter has been putting together a custom field trip with the Central Oregon Christian Home Educator group. This works quite well to team up with Creation Encounter leaders with their creation expertise and logistic experience. If this is something you think might work with your group, email or call John.

"There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard."
Psalm 19:3
Romans 1:20 says, in effect, that God's creation is speaking to those who will listen. We thank Him for this and pray that Creation Encounter can help you be ready "to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that is in you."

From Creation Encounter,
John Hergenrather and Dennis Bokovoy
