Kids Program and Activities

Why Should I Come to Th is Conference?

Creation Ministries International6

Creation for Kids Children’s Program!Teaching children how to think about the issues

Creation for Kids is especially designed for primary school children up to the age of 12. In a safe, fun fi lled environment they will learn about

the big picture of the Gospel from Creation to Revelation, be equipped to withstand the onslaught of atheism, and defend their faith.

Th e hands-on activities will ensure interest levels are kept high.

Speaker Steve Lachonas, with live animals, will be present to entertain and teach the kids about God’s incredible creatures!

Note: Children’s program will run from morning through to lunch time (Monday to Friday).

We are losing our children! Research indicates

that 70% of teens who are involved in a church

youth group will stop attending church …

Simil ar statements from Christian leaders aren’t

new, but many can’t seem to identify the root cause

of the problem. However, most front-line evangelists

in the Western world have reached a consensus. Th e

following quote is from a person who shares his faith

more times in a month than most Christians ever will

in their lives.

I am an evangelist. I go around and talk with people. One-on-one conversations. My time on college campuses and talking to high schoolers, the number one answer that I get for there not being a God, so then I don’t have to believe in

[God/the gospel], is evolution.1

Th at’s a Christian evangelist’s take (based on

experience); how about an atheist’s opinion?

Th e most devastating thing though that biology did to Christianity was the discovery of … evolution. Now that we know that Adam and Eve never were real people the central myth of

Christianity is destroyed.2

If there never was an Adam and Eve there never was an original sin. If there never was an original sin there is no need of salvation. If there is no need of salvation there is no need of a savior. And I submit that puts Jesus, historical or otherwise,

into the ranks of the unemployed. 3

So despite some Christians believing there

is no confl ict between faith in the biblical God

and evolutionary theory, many intelligent people

around the world see the inconsistency clearly. Th is

conference is an amazing opportunity for Christians

of all ages to learn how to defend the plain reading

of scripture from leading scientists and speakers in

their fi eld.

Creation Ministries International (CMI)

CMI is a Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to upholding the authority of the Bible by

equipping Christians to defend their faith and to be able to give answers to the questions many people have regarding science and the Bible. Th is multi-day conference will address all aspects of the creation/evolution issue in a fun, relaxing environment by experts in their fi eld of study and ministry.

Experience shows that such faith-building presentations embolden Christians in witnessing, since they get equipped with answers to some of the most-asked questions about science and the Bible, which are some of the most frequent objections to faith in Christ.

Geology excursion and Blind chess challenge! Campers

will have an opportunity to sign up for an amazing fi rst hand geology excursion with Dr Emil Silvestru (Geologist and cave expert) and/or also try out their chess game vs Dr Jonathan Sarfati. Dr Sarfati will be playing multiple opponents while

blindfolded! Up for the challenge?

Special sessions for those interested in teaching Creation!Recognising that there are many Christians teaching about these issues already (or wanting to) within their home church/community, CMI will be holding 2 special sessions dedicated to explaining how to present the creation message as a way to encourage those who may share from our experience. Learn what the most important topics to cover are and how to overcome common objections. Ask your questions and get answers from presenters that have been on the front lines presenting in churches and various venues week after week for many years.

TestimoniesCMI has held similar events in Australia and the US. Hear

what attendees have said about them…

Overall

For me this time was the family atmosphere. When my son looked up at me and said “Dad I want to come to this again next year” my heart leaped for joy.

I brought my 17 year old son … I believe this was a life changing event for him.

My two teenagers loved it! Came for them but left fi lled myself.

Of the speakers/talks:

I was held captive by their talks.

Really excellent speakers on great topics—good variety.

Exceptional. Professional presentations by all.

We are amazed at who we heard in 4 days!

We appreciate the level of cutting-edge research.

Excellent with excellent credentials.

All lectures were amazing and I loved having access to the Drs and speakers.

First class, knowledgeable yet

understandable by lay people.

Many are surprised to see speakers mix with those attending, at meal

times and coff ee breaks etc. One person commented, typically, “Having access to speakers was a real treat.”
