As we approach the end of the year and enjoy the Holiday season I have noticed that people have a tendency to become passionate about different things. "Black Friday" with its long lines, near riots, sometimes actual fights, possible injuries, and credit cards shows us that some people are passionate about getting a good deal. Driving through residential areas enjoying the lights and

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth…” –Romans 1:16The gospel of Christ; that sweet song of deliverance, unimaginable mercy, total dependence, it is who we are as Christians. Young or old, our story is the same in Christ.I work at a women’s gym and one of my responsibilities is to sign up new members. The process is

I have a dear friend, Sally, who has been through a lot these last few years. Trouble in her marriage, trouble with her children, and difficulties with extended family, have made her life nearly soap-opera like. Her neighbors have been witness to these painful moments, so there is no hiding it and pretending that she is the “perfect” Christian wife and mother. My friend had pretty much written

Cell phones, Email, Snail Mail, Blogs, Facebook, IM, Twitter, MySpace, Skype, High Five, Video Chat, sitting on the porch with family and friends, all these fill a basic need- to have fellowship and stay connected in a changing world. Even with communication avenues changing and getting faster almost daily, there is still a communication that is faster and more intimate than any of these-PRAYER!

My Grandmother is dying. I traveled south with my brothers to see her recently. While it was a heart-wrenching trip, I rejoice to know that her journey on earth will end in the Savior’s arms. I find joy, not in her suffering, but in her faith. It is something that only she and I share. The rest of our family are non-believers. Watching my brothers’ despair in her condition, weeping bitter tears,

“Now I want you to know, brethren that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel, so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole Praetorian Guard and to everyone else, and that most of the brethren trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.” Philippians 1:12-

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. -1 Corinthians 3:18-19aOur youngest child is beginning her final year of high school this fall. It’s an amazing time for my husband and me as we realize that in a very short time our nest will be empty.

An exciting time of year in our household is always harvest time, when all of our favorite things are picked, frozen, canned, pickled, and eaten. Yes, there is also the eating as one picks to remind one of the future joys that will come as a result of the work.Recently, we stopped after a show to pick blueberries. As we picked, Stephen noticed that there were a lot of big, dark blue blueberries,

I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.

In 2008 over 6000 heard the message through Amazing Truth Ministries with 76 decisions for Christ. Most of these events were held at smaller churches holding outreach events and schools.Mike spoke at four conferences with 2-4 seminars at each conference helping to equip others in their ministries.In addition to these events we also were involved in performing workshops and secular shows with a

A vital ministry we were privelegded to partner with was After School Bible Club. This club has just begun, and at this point they only publicize it through word of mouth. At the close of the presentation, Mike vividly illustrated the ABC's of what it means to surrender to Jesus. What joy to see these children respond to the gospel!

The Cause:The gift of salvation; a gift offered to all mankind free of charge. Yet for many, that gift remains unwrapped. There are those who believe that the gift is a trick, a fantasy, which like a magician’s slight of hand will fool their intellect and leave them with an empty gift box. However, God’s free gift is real and no trick.This is the message in a nutshell that Amazing Truth

These days, though the Christmas season is upon us, there are many that are fearful. The specters of unemployment, financial worries, health insurance, hunger, and safety cast a dark shadow on this, the most joyful time of the year. We, as Christians, have the honor of living in these times, of shining the bright light of Christ into our neighborhoods, schools, and work places. People are worried

“Christ wants not nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible…” (CT Studd)Yes, let us together grab the impossible to make an impact for His Kingdom. Throughout many places in Idaho and Montana we were told time and again that they have NEVER seen anything that explains the gospel so clearly, and that no other ministry has EVER come to their town to do an outreach event.

Dear Puckett family,I want to personally thank you for coming to our school last Friday and sharing God’s Word through your amazing show. We were all encouraged in our walk with the Lord. I appreciate the gospel message shared with our students. Many of the teachers have shared in staff meetings the need to frequently share the gospel message even to children who profess to know Christ.Your

In Twin Falls, Idaho many came to know Christ as the AMAZING TRUTH of the gospel was presenting through the theatrical illusion. How exciting to see God's Spirit move as hands were raised to accept Christ throughout the entire audience. Pray for the Pastor as he follows-up with these.This was also a time renewing frienships and swaping stories with old friends.

Aberdeen, Idaho Public Schools hosted us during the day where we gave a moral message including a visual picture as to how the choices we make today can sometimes change us for the rest of our life. Later that evening Calvary Chapel of Aberdeen hosted us as we shared once again at the Aberdeen High School Auditorium.

Kootnai Valley is a beautiful area in Montana which includes the Troy/Libby and surrounding areas. From the Christian schools to several churches we met many wonderful people with a passion for Christ. There were also many who came to know Christ, and seeds that were planted as well.

In Sandpoint, Idaho a teacher was elated as Mike illustrated that "truth is truth whether we see it happen or not". Just that morning she taught the differences between creation and evolution. Some of the children questioned why so many of their friends believe evolution. Mike helped them understand that we do not have to see things for them to be true.
