Continuing to Reach the Jewish Tribes With the Gospel

The miracle continues as the Adventures In Truth team once again graduated it's latest class of trainees in the Gospel in May of 2024, as 17 new believers finished their training in Northern Ethiopia. The dream is to fill the Jewish villages with trainees whom have completed this training by learning the Gospel of Jesus and then returning and spreading the Word of God in their villages throughout the countrysides and high into the mountains. These persecuted Jews are kept from the true Word of God, and the desire to find the truth has been a primary goal of Adventures In Truth. With that said, in May the Ethiopian team began the training and the American team finished the treaching, and then sent them out with a charge to share the Gospel, no matter the circumstances. Then, each of them were Scripturally Baptized, and then a banquet was held in their honor for each to receive their certificate of completion, personal solar Bible, and a certificate of baptism. As the next class begins to sign up, we are blessed by your continued support to make this a reality. Can you imagine the revival coming to Jerusalem as these Jews begin to return to Israel with Jesus as their Saviors. Oh, what a day that will be!

Planning the Gospel Training Center for Ethiopian Jews: Just Waiting for YOU!

The plans are in place...now AIT is waiting on Christians to gather to support the first ever Gospel Training Center for Ethiopian Jews. The purpose of this plan is to teach the Word of God, the opportunity for Salvation, and educate on the Bible to the Ethiopian Jewish tribes before they begin to make the returns to Israel. That dream is now a reality, but the number have to grow, and the only way to do that a secured training center to relieve the fear of persecution. As AIT is currently reaching and teaching the Jews, the problem on not having a secured facility to bring in the masses has proven to be a huge obstacle. With the war in Ethiopia, prices are prime for us to now look at purchasing a large facility, walled for security, and big enough to bring in larger groups. We just need funding, and with a matching $35,000 put on the table, the time is now for the $450,000 project. If you would like to be a part of this effort, please contact us immediately, and help us bring revival to Israel through the Ethiopian Jews.

The Power of the Sun, To Deliver THE SON!

We can't think of a better title that using the Power of the Sun, to Deliver the Son! The concept of Adventures In Truth's solar Bible devices have changed the landscape of sharing the Gospel in Ethiopia. As our ministry began here, we were bringing in thousands of John/Roman's Scriptures and full Bibles in the Ethioipian languages, only to learn that a large amount of those in villages across the countryside and far into the mountains, were unable to read, thus they had rely on someone that could read to share the Word of God with them. We also found them using the pages to wad up and plug a hole in the hut wall because they had no use for the paper Bibles. That's where our thoughts changed, knowing we had to work on another concept.

This was the birth of the idea to use solar powered devices with the Word of God being read to them in masses from the solar unit in their native language. Thus, they were no longer dependent on someone else to read to them, which opened the doors to reaching dozens, hundreds, and even thousands more. And with each device containing not only the entire full Old and New Testaments, these units contain a 4 year discipleship course on each device. This allows our teams to assign Scriptures and a discipleship study, and then they come back and review with the villages. What has been amazing is that they not only have done what you have asked of them, but they also can literally quote the Scriptures they were assigned. God is so good, and so are you for helping us to purchase these life-changing devices for the millions of people, including the Ethiopian Jews that we are focusing on in Northern Ethiopia.

Faiths Working Together for the Glory of God

When you're working for the good of God's kingdom, building great working relationships is an important part of the plan to getting things done. Since the beginning, Dr. Rankin has been a huge believer in bringing peace between faiths, especially when it comes to constructing bigger opportunities to reach out the Gospel to the masses. One great example of this is the friendships he has built with the elder priest and bishops of the Coptic church located in Sakha, Egypt where the famous Footprint of Jesus has been held within the church. This footprint was recovered from hiding decades ago, and it has been kept in very unsafe and primitive ways. A great trust and friendship was built (only by the touch of God), and the priests and bishops partnered with Dr. Rankin, allowing him to design, construct, and thus protect this incredible historical artifact of Jesus. In this photo, you can see footprint stone and the trust that Jim hA with the church, as he places it within it's newly designed case, within the vault to keep it safe. In the photo, knowing Dr. Rankin is of a different faith, the bishops wanted to all gather together with him as he opened the footprint for them to witness. These men came in from Alexandria, Cairo, and Sakha, Egypt, along with a bishop from Russia. This shows the trust and the bonding together for the good of sharing Jesus to world. 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.

Footprints Lead to the Great Library of Alexandria

The history of the great Library of Alexandria dates back to ancient times with an estimated 400,000 scrolls housed here in the original library. After it's destruction centuries ago, the library was rebuilt into an incredible wonder, with plans beginning in 1974, but not completed until 2002. Today, this library contains over 2,000,000 reviewed and chosen books and manuscripts, and contains not only ancient writings but also modern approved texts for the world to study. At over 14 stories high, the modern-day wonder of the world offers enough space for over 2,000 people at any one time to study in-house, and features only approved authors from over time, and from all around the world into it's library of supported study texts.

In 2023 it was announced that Dr. Jim Rankin's manuscript of 'Footprints of Jesus' had been reviewed an accepted as an official texts under religious historical studies. In 2024, Dr. Jim made the journey to the Library of Alexandria to officially accept the honor and to sign the book into the library. Jim was joined by his wife, Sherri, ministry team member Bev Regehr, and his Egyptian historian and team member, Samer Shoukry. "It's an incredible honor, but the entire journey was guided by God, with the help of Samer, and many others to make this possible. I'm extremely humbled by this opportunity, and we pray the world will finally see the truth behind the pathway that opened Jesus to the grace, wisdom, and knowledge of His ultimate sacrifice for our Salvation."

Protecting the Ark Footholds & the Footprint of Jesus!

Adventures In Truth continues to be a presence on the Island of Tana Kirkos on Lake Tana in Ethiopia, as the team once again made a stop there in May of 2024. Tana Kirkos is where Dr. Rankin made the discovery of the footholds of the Ark of the Covenant. It's also where he found the 2nd footprints of Jesus (1st being in Egypt and 3rd in Israel), and then translated many of the manuscripts kept in the treasury or other sites nearby. In 2022, with the help of our Ethiopian team, Dr. Jim had the platform of the Ark of the Covenant covered with a metal awning, and in 2015 he had the footprint covered on the top cliffside. Each time the team visits the island, the overwhelming feeling of the Lord projects from these locations, as the door is always open to him by the guardian priest of the island. If you have an interest in joining us on one of our expeditions tours or one of our mission trips to work with the Ethiopian Jews, please contact us today.

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.

Mini Documentaries Continue to Reach-Out on Facebook

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!
