TRAINING, BAPTIZING & SENDING GOD'S WORD BACK TO THE HIDDEN JEWS

As 2023 continues on, so do the miracles and historical events that continue to build!  In May, our Ethiopian team began training with the first eight Jewish tribe members.  These individuals went through a series of extensive training and discipleship classes on the Bible, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, faith and family, and more, as the Spirit poured out as curses were lifted and demons were sent away.  Then, in an incredible Spirit filled service, Dr. Rankin, with the assistance of Pastor Ted Kelly, and the Ethiopian and U.S. teams...each trainee was then baptized.  You could feel the Spirit in the room as each came forward in their profession of faith.  The evening was capped with a wonderful banquet and message, as a charge to each of them to go back in the villages, expecting conflict, but knowing that Jesus was with them always.   God bless our Ethiopian trainers, the U.S. team for all their assistance, and most of all - the brave men and women that stepped forward, knowing the chance of persecution, but realizing the power of blood of Jesus has been poured upon them!

 

THE RYAN FILES: DR. RANKIN JOINS RYAN PELTON FOR POPULAR PODCAST SHOW!

The amazing interest into the work and discoveries of Dr. Jim Rankin continue as he makes an appearance on the popular podcast show, The Ryan Files, hosted by Ryan Pelton. 

Rankin and Pelton's relationship go way back when Jim was in the entertainment field, and made note of the talent of a young Ryan Pelton, especially his love for Elvis Presley.  Rankin helped Pelton in his early career, and now Ryan stands on his own as an actor, performer, and now successful podcast show host.  Those near Branson, Missouri will know Ryan as the Branson Elvis in the Legends In Concert show at the Pepsi Theater.   Others mike recognize him from his lead role in the film 'The Identical', starring alonside Ashley Judd, Seth Green and Ray Liotta.   Visit this link https://youtu.be/7YUs7RS1yz0  to watch this awesome program.  Pelton talks with Jim on the topic of the Ark of the Covenant, his discovery of the footholds, and meeting at the throne, and much more.  Episode 24 of The Ryan Files will definately become a favorite and has already gained great attention on YouTube.  Be sure to take some time to stream the program and learn about biblical truth still being discovered today.   

 

THOUSANDS GATHER TO SEE WINTER/SPRING TOURS IN 2024

Adventures In Truth hit the road in 2024 traveling through Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Ohio and West Virginia for the Winter/Spring Tour, and it has been overwhelming.  Thousands have gathered to see God's message through AIT, and Dr. Rankin has shared numerous presentations in a variety of formats to churches, schools and organizations.   With many new churches thus far this year, the Expedition Ark of the Covenant presentation continues to touch the hearts of everyone who sees it, and many will travel distances to see it again.  The Skull Beyond the Cross has been been a constant wow to everyone who witnesses this unveling of the origins of early Old Testament beliefs, while the Apostle Project continues to keep minds spinning as they witness the truth about some mis-presented thoughts in New Testament teachings.   And, the Finding the True Bethlehem presentation has been a mainstay in bringing hearts and minds closer to the truths about Jesus, and where He truly came from.  Then, you combine all of this with the opportunity to be a part of the outreach to the hidden Jewish tribes in Ethiopia, and you see God's hand move upon everyone it touches.  We hope to see you in 2024 at a church near you, as we will continue to cross the nation to share and teach what God has set before us!

 

TAKING GOD'S WORD TO THE HIDDEN JEWISH TRIBES

There is nothing more rewarding than to see the overwhelming JOY on the faces of the Jewish people when they hear the true Word of God for the first time.    As AIT travels into remote villages in Ethiopia, the main priority is to share God's Word through our solar Bible units, which contain the entire Old & New Testaments, along with a 4 year discipleship course.   Then, we preach and disciple through in-person training as well.  But nothing gets to you like seeing someone listen to the solar Bibles as they hear the true Word come to life.  It's something most people take advantage of, but in northern Ethiopia it's a moment that brings you to tears in the reality that not everyone has the opportunity to truly know Christ as Savior, or to hear the Bible whenever they desire.  We pray you'll consider supporting this ministry in reaching these people to spread the wonderful salvation of Jesus Christ to those whom have been kept from the truth for way too long.   To God be the Glory!,

 

Solar Bibles: Using the Power of the Sun, To Deliver THE SON!

There is NO DOUBT that in a changing world, the WORD of GOD will Never Change!  But, the way we are sharing has changed and has been blessed by God in the process.  Reaching into the far region of the uttermost in Ethiopia, the people who cannot read will simply take a paper Bible, or John & Romans Scripture, and use the pages for plugging a hole in their mud hut.  Thus, reaching the Jewish tribes far into the mountains has become a challenge but one well worth the effort with our unique SOLAR BIBLE units.  With a large solar panel, and digital push button direction, we can present to them the entire Old Testament, and New Testament, plus a 4 year discipleship program making an on-going teaching to these wonderful people more possible than ever.  They literally believe that God speaks directly to them from the voice coming from the Solar Bible in their own language.  

We have now reached more than 1,000,000 people with God's Word in the Solar Bibles, but we are far from reaching them all.  Please consider helping us help, help them!   Go to the DONATION link on this website and help us deliver God's precious Word in ways never thought possible before!

BUILDING TRUST AND BRINGING FAITHS TOGETHER

One of the key ingredients to getting things done and building relationships is working on a trusting bond.  One of Dr. Rankin's biggest assets to the work of AIT is building good bonds and relatioinships.  One great example of this is the friendships he has built with the elder priest of the Coptic church built on the site where Jesus' footprint was recovered from hiding decades ago.  After building a great trust and friendship, you can see in the photos that the footprint stone is trusted to him to hold, protect, and design the vaulting around it.  In the photo, knowing he is of a different faith, the bishops (from Alexandria, Cairo, and Russia) come together allowing and trusting in him on what he has promised; and that is the preservation and protection of this incredible biblical artifact.   Although this site is not visited very often because of its location in the north of Egypt, that trusting bond has been a great example of what teamwork, trust, prayer, and faith can do when it all works together.

RETURN TO THE ARK OF THE COVENANT

During the Adventures In Truth's team expedition in early 2023 back into Ethiopia, they took time to return to the place where Dr. Rankin discovered the footholds of the Ark of the Covenant in 2011.  The women on the team stayed on the northside of Tana Kirkos Island and shared a great time of devotions and prayers, while the men trekked through the jungle to the soundside to the holy point where the Ark rested for quite some time in a make-shift holy of holies high upon the cliffs.  Now covered by the awning that Jim had constructed in 2022, the men gathered in prayer and in the awesome wonder of what took place on this platform some two thousand plus years ago.  In another one of those unique bondings of friendship and trust, the guardian priest joined the team as he told the story of when he witnessed the discovery in 2011, and how they believe Dr. Rankin was sent there by God to discover it.  It was an overwhelming and emotional time for everyone.  It's truly a special place!

 

MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR ONE AND MANY!

It's been over ten years since our founding team members first met the wonderful Jewish lady named Mary in Ethiopia, and it's been a long time coming to the incredible work our team put together while in her hometown in early 2023.  While some of the women on the team took Mary out for a day on the town, the rest stayed behind and did a complete make-over on her home.  In just one day, the team stripped, replastered, repaired, re-floored, and then painted her home which sits right in the crossroads in the village she lives in.  Each team member took charge, which drew a crowd perfect for witnessing to in front of the house.  It was incredible testimony to why a group of American Christians would gather and do something like this for someone in a far remote region of Ethiopia.  By the time it was over, many of the villagers who specialized in certain areas were in there helping, and in just one day it was completed.  Mary was so happy and content, and the love just poured out of her as she wore her new dress the ladies purchased for her.   To God we give all the credit and glory for allowing us the opportunity to make a difference.  

 

FACEBOOK VIDEOS A HUGE HIT!

Since mid-2023, Dr. Jim Rankin has appeared on Facebook in a series of videos with on-site evidence of the Bible and Jesus in both Ethiopia and Egypt.  These programs, in various lengths, have brought the viewers to a greater understanding of the Bible and the movement of Jesus' trek into Egypt than ever before.  We've had great comments such as, "Wow, this is absolutely some of the most compelling evidence of the Bible than I've ever seen before."  Another said, "I didn't know there was anything about Egypt in existance today, let alone that anything whatsoever has been kept about Jesus...It has just opened my mind to the posibilities!"  Dr. Rankin's approach to bringing truth is filled with years of research, evidence, on-site investigating, and finally putting the puzzle together so all can understand.  We hope you get a chance to view these videos on the Adventures In Truth Facebook page with the first series of Egypt in the Bible with Episode 1 airing in May.  Then each month after another was aired.  After 5 episodes of Egypt we will move onto 5 episodes of The Bible in Ethiopia, and then rotate back and forth from there.  Hope you get to watch, the response has been outstanding!
