Help us bring Dr. Lisle to El Paso in 2023!
The goal: We want to bring in Christian astrophysicist, Dr. Jason Lisle, with the Biblical Science Institute (BSI) to the El Paso-Las Cruces area the weekend of Nov 10th-11th, 2023 for a jam-packed weekend of learning about how the heavens declare the glory of God!
Dr. Lisle is a very effective communicator and solid scientist that is equipping believers to stand firm on God's Word in Genesis. Also, his presentation on recent discoveries with the James Webb Telescope and how it confirms a Biblical Creationist model will greatly encourage all believers in attendance!
This will strengthen & equip the church, encourage more to love God with ALL their mind, embolden evangelism and facilitate more students going into fields of science to do it to the glory of God!
Tentative schedule:
Friday, Nov 10th: Star Gazing near Las Cruces or White Sands or nearby Observatory
Saturday, Nov 11th: Creation Conference on Space and the Bible at a church on west El Paso, Tx. I believe I have a host location available, but we will confirm once it's approved.
Possibilities for more speaking events:
(honorariums are expected/encouraged for these events as well)
Churches may want to have Dr. Lisle speak that Sunday, Nov 12th. If so, they should contact his assistant, Denise through the Biblical Science Institute website.
Schools: Various schools may want to have Dr. Lisle out to speak to their students before our weekend events. If so, contact Denise as well.
How you can help us?
Our total estimated cost for this event is: $7500
This includes travel costs for Dr. Lisle and his assistant, honorarium, food during the conference and Engage support money for the time to organize this event.
Various ways we can work together to make this conference free to the public:
Individual support: Give whatever the Lord puts on your heart.
Church Support:
30 churches give $250
15 churches give $500
Is there a deadline when we need to raise the money for the event?
If we don't have at least half raised by the middle-late part of the summer (July/early August), we will save the money to bring Dr. Lisle another time.
We are currently penciled in with the BSI for the Nov 10-11th weekend, but if we can't raise the funds for it, then it won't happen.
You can give directly to Engage Truth Ministries online here.
Note, we just have one more step to finalize our non-profit status. It will be accomplished before the end of the year, but you should be aware of that. I'm not sure if we can retro-actively count donations given as "tax-deductible" or not. If you want your donation to be tax-deductible, consider giving through our sponsor church or through your church and then they can give it directly to Engage Truth Ministries.
