March 13, 2010 - John Morris:
"Creation and Evolution Update"
Dr. Morris states: "Creationists have long been able to show that the fossil record does not support evolution. But what does it demonstrate? When seen through Biblical 'glasses', when evaluated through a Biblical worldview, the fossils speak of creation, by the God of the Bible, not very long ago - just like the Bible says!"
John D. Morris, PhD, is President of the Institute for Creation Research, and the ICR Graduate School.

"The Coming Globalization"
Gary Kah is the former Europe & Middle East Trade Specialist for the Indiana government. While in that position he traveled extensively overseas working closely with the economic staff at American Embassies on trade-related projects. During that time, he learned of efforts underway to establish a one-world political/financial system. He also discovered there was a religious motivation connected with these developments.
Gary has written two best-selling books detailing his experiences and explaining the goals of the one-world/interfaith movement. His books, En Route to Global Occupation, and The New World Religion, are fully documented and are critical in understanding today's global developments - including the current financial crisis. Gary keeps interested readers informed of the latest international economic, political and religious developments through his research news journal "Hope for the World".
His message on "The Coming Globalization" is an up-to-date look at what is happening now as our leaders seem to be rushing to institute a one-world government.

January 9, 2010:
Film: "The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry"
Twelve-year-old best buddies Dustin, Albert, and Mark are looking forward to a summer of fun in 1970, but are being pestered by a persistent bully. When Dustin mows the lawn of seventy-five year old Jonathan Sperry, a man he has seen at church, a unique friendship develops.
Ultimately, more than a "bully" problem is addressed during that memorable summer!
"The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry" speaks to children, to parents, to grandparents, and to Christians of all ages who need to interact with the younger generation. And the Gospel is presented clearly in this film.
Bring the entire family for the newest Rich Christiano film, in the line of other well-produced, solid, Christian films including "Time Changer" and "Unidentified". Its production quality can stand alongside anything Hollywood creates, but it does not sacrifice its biblical message in the process. You'll enjoy the film, but you cannot escape the impact of its message.
December 12, 2009 - Christmas Rally:
Pacific Garden Mission Men's Choir
This Christmas Rally included singing of favorite Christmas carols by all. Also featured is the Pacific Garden Mission Men's Choir.
Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago, the world's oldest rescue mission at 132 years, is perhaps best known for the Unshackled radio program produced since 1950, and heard twice daily on VCY America at 4:30pm and 11:00pm Central time.
But the mission also reaches out through their Men's Choir, made up of men whose lives have been changed by Christ at PGM.
This choir ministers with genuine, lively music, and through testimonies by many of the men.
VCY Christmas rallies have traditionally been times of rich fellowship and sharing of the timeless story of Christ's birth--and also of His life, death and resurrection, which makes possible changed lives, including those reached through VCY America, and through Pacific Garden Mission.
Join us for a wonderful evening of music and testimony!

April 4, 2009 - Film: Fireproof
In this third film by the producers of "Flywheel" and "Facing the Giants", a marriage is on the line.
At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. At home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules.
Growing up, Catherine Holt always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter...just like her daddy. Now, after seven years of marriage, Catherine wonders when she stopped being "good enough" for her husband.
Regular arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and outside interests have moved them to the point of divorce.
Caleb's father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment: "The Love Dare."
While hoping "The Love Dare" has nothing to do with his parents' newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God's love for him?
And can this be the beginning of healing for their marriage? Or will Caleb end up "leaving his partner behind" at home?
Many have already reported that "Fireproof" has helped them save
or restore their own marriages, or to become better prepared for the day
when they say "I do"!

January 10, 2009 - Film "God's Outlaw: The Story of William Tyndale"
A simple God-fearing man, William Tyndale became one of the MOST WANTED men in England and all of Europe. He darted across Europe to escape capture. He was pursued by King Henry VIII, Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas More, and Cardinal Wolsey.
His crime was translating the Bible into English and publishing it for his fellow countrymen-Englishmen who lived in a country where the Bible and even prayers in English were outlawed by a harsh and rigid religious establishment.
Today he is renowned as "the father of the English Bible", and is recognized as one of the major leaders of the English Reformation. but the tale of how he lived and died as "God's outlaw" is compelling and is an especially moving encouragement for modern people of faith. Come see his true story.

This powerful drama was filmed in the jungles of Puerto Rico.
"Fragmented news reports continue to trickle in from Columbia.
Guerilla fighters and drug runners have taken over remote sections of the jungle,
terrorizing villagers and enslaving workers.
That's bad news for the family of Ann Williams, a medical missionary stationed
in the remote village of Alto Risco. At last report, a gang of drug runners
led by the notorious General Salazar were closing in on Ann's village.
Running out of time, Ann's father, turns to an old friend, Dan for help.
A commercial accident reduced Dan's career to repo work - stealing jets back
from delinquent buyers - but now he's headed deep into the jungle on a sketchy
mission to rescue the woman he once loved.
At a final fuel stop Dan picks up a much-needed guide, another missionary who
accompanies Dan to the unknown dangers awaiting them."
