“ N a t u r e i s G o d ’ s g r e a t e s t e v a n g e l i s t . ”
For many years Word of Life has been sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ through evangelistic productions using the creative tools of music, drama and multimedia. This vision began with Harry Bollback in 1976 with the very first program – Let Freedom Ring . Over the years, the Gospel Productions Tours ministry has become a hallmark of Word of Life, providing unique opportunities to share the life-changing message of Jesus with people of all ages. God has done amazing things in countless hearts and lives as more than 2.5 million people have attended presentations produced and performed live by Word of Life staff and Bible Institute students. Recently, the Lord has opened the door for the development of a
brand new program – Genesis: A Creation Experience . Working in cooperation with Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis, the focus will be on the critically important topics of Creation and the authority of the Word of God. Statistics show that the spiritual condition of America is in rapid decline. Less than 1 in 5 adults believe that absolute truth exists and is found in the Bible. The core truths taught in Genesis 1-11 are foundational to our worldview, and many of the cultural problems we’re seeing play out in our country and around the world today are a direct result of the rejection of these foundational truths. America’s core problem is a heart issue, but our hearts and minds are tightly intertwined. In 2016, the Answers in Genesis team completed construction on phase one of a life-size replica of Noah’s Ark in northern Kentucky- Ark Encounter- now open to the public. Word of Life is very thankful for Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum which stand as a powerful testimony to the reliability of Scripture and the importance of starting with God’s Word, not man’s word, as we seek to properly understand and engage the world around
us. True observational science confirms the reliability of Scripture. We can trust the history carefully preserved in Scripture, and we can trust the Gospel based on this Book as well. The Genesis production is currently being developed and built by our Gospel Productions team at Word of Life Florida and will be presented in the Harry Bollback Performing Arts Center, as well as in churches and schools throughout the country. The production will be heavy on media and special effects, but will also have elements of live music and a storyline featuring Methuselah, Noah and others, as well as modern-day characters. Dave Dorman (‘80) is assisting with the props/set design. Dave has been involved with Harry’s tours since the early days and has worked on many large-scale projects including Sight & Sound Theatre shows in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Dave was also part of the exhibit design team for Ark Encounter. Our goal is to launch the program in October, 2018. Stay tuned for more information on tour dates and locations coming to a city near you.
