Studying the fossils
While out on the road on teaching circuits, all of the speakers at AOI try to take every opportunity to teach about God and His Creation. The following is a rough breakdown of more-or-less typical week of ministry in the field:
Monday and Tuesday – Travel to Ainsworth, NE. … Meet with church officials and get settled in with a host family (another 25 minutes of travel to their home).
Wednesday – Have lunch and visitation with Pastor or members of the church (typical 2+ hours) … Get to church an hour early for set up … 15 minutes teaching scripture with Eugene the puppet … 40 minutes teaching … 5 minutes teaching about hands-on event for break… 10-15 minute break (for attendees, not us) doing hands- on event (creation bracelets or fossil lab) , answering questions, selling books, and getting next presentation set up …… 40-45 minutes teaching … Answer questions and sell literature … Get to host family about 9:45 pm … Get to sleep about 11-12 pm.
Teaching homeschoolers
Thursday – A day and evening very much like Wednesday … Answer questions and sell literature … Load up books and projector equipment, and fossils … Get to host family about 10:15 pm … Get to sleep about 11-12 pm.
Friday – Arise at 5:30 am … leave host family home a 7 am … travel one hour to O’Neill, NE …
1 hour set up books, equipment, and fossils for a Homeschool group … Teach 2 ½ hours with Q&A … Pack up equipment … Meet with Homeschool families for a one hour picnic lunch … travel one hour back to host family … Get to church an hour early for set up (unload books and equipment again!) … Teach for 2 hrs. … Answer questions and sell literature … Pack up all equipment and books and load them in vehicle … Get to host family about 10:30 pm … Get to sleep about 11-12 pm. Join us Monday to see how the weekend went and the new week began. I need to get some sleep for tomorrow.
