Reaching the Far North Jewish Tribes!

The Adventures In Truth team returned to the far northern areas of Ethiopia carrying the Word of God and a whole lot more.  Since the war started in Northern Ethiopia, the AIT team had been limited in areas they could reach, but this return was very much anticipated.  Not only did AIT bring in the true Word of God within our solar Bible units, but we also brought a record number of water filtration units, and also over a thousand pounds of corn meal for food.  Since the war, these people are hungry, and also their water is horrible...so we were able to feed them, provide clean water, and provide the LIVING WATER of Jesus within the Word!   Keep the team in prayer for our continued returns and work with the north, as we prepare the Jews for the days come with the hope of Jesus.  

Reaching the World Discovering Truth!

The interest continues to spread as Dr. Jim Rankin reaches the world with the truth, sharing his discoveries on CTN (Christian Television Network).  CTN host, Brian Morris brought Dr. Rankin to his 'Man360' show and the reviews were overwhelming.  Dr. Rankin shared the information on Expedition Ark of the Covenant and told the stories of how his discovery of the footholds of the Ark have changed history from the assumed tradition that has always been taught.  Morris was blown away with the truth discovered and is looking forward to even more from Jim and the work he is doing in Ethiopia, and also more on the discoveries that are being revealed.   

Gospel Training Center Funding is Well Underway!

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 we need your help in funding to make this a training center happen," proclaimed Dr. Rankin!  The persecuted Ethiopian Jews live in fear when it comes to learning the true Word of God...a secured training facility is the only way to teach them and send them back to teach their own people.  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 to look at purchasing a large facility, walled for security, and big enough to bring in larger groups. We need your help with funding, and with a $50,000 matching donation 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 or donate directly by clicking one of the donate buttons on this website.  

Spring Tour Brings God's Truth to the South

Beginning in March, the AIT team hit the road for a full southern speaking tour to bring the biblical truths to churches in Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida.  Although the travel is tough, the result is overwhelming.  Thousands attended and watched, and were touched by Dr. Rankin's teaching and educational presentations on how God has opened doors to discovering biblical truth to bring the Scriptures to life more now than at any other time in history.   It has also opened the doors to bring the mission of AIT in reaching the Ethiopian Jews to Christ to the masses across the country.   Thank you to all whom have supported at these events, and we look forward to seeing you in the months to come in Ohio, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois, Georgia, and many other locations to be announced soon.  

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.

Ministering to Street Boys

It was an incredible experience as the AIT team gathered a group of lost, starving boys off the streets in one of the cities the works in, to feed them and share the Word of God to them.  The boys were brought to a secured compound, similar to the one we are hoping to have for training, and first prepared a much-needed hot meal to them, followed by three Gospel messages to bring them to Christ through the Living Word of God.   It was incredible to see their faces as they were given double portions of food and water to help with their hunger.  Then, following the great meal, Pastors Tim Hall from Georgia, Rex Schrolucke from Ohio, and Dr. Jim Rankin from AIT brought God's Word to them, with the final result with most of them finding true Salvation through Jesus Christ.  We truly believe that some of these young men will eventually become great leaders of the true Faith in our training in the years to come.  

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."

The Reality of War

War is never good, but sometimes it's not those who participate that are left hurting, it's those that are left behind.  The AIT team seen this firsthand during a recent trip into the far north of Ethiopia.   While gathering a group of widows together who have lost their loved ones in the recent wars, the team learned of the horrible circumstances on how their husbands or sons were killed in front of them, then left in the streets until allowed to remove the remains.  Watching the tears flow, hearing the testimonies, and seeing the stress upon them in order of trying to survive is truly heart wrenching.  AIT ministered by the Word of God, by providing food, and by simply letting them pour out their hearts.   Sometimes it's better to listen first and then decide the next steps to help bring the truth of Jesus into their lives.   

Protecting the Biblical History!

During the years of research, Dr. Jim Rankin has made some of the most incredible discoveries and has brought to daylight discoveries that have been hidden away for centuries.  With that said, many of those artifacts will never be permitted to leave their guarded locations for more secured and protected facilities, so it's important to help preserve these pieces of history to the best of reasonable ability.  That's why AIT has gone to great lengths to help in protecting and preserving many of these pieces of history on their remote location sites.   Whether it's the footholds of the Ark of the Covenant, the crushed in stone footprints, the Apostle's staff, or historical manuscripts...with God as our guide, we are honored to have the opportunity to help in keeping these artifacts safe, and protected from weather, theft, and natural wear.   Also, 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 and the Ethiopian Orthodox priests in Axum, Lalibela, Tana Kirkos, and other locations.  A great trust and friendship was built (only by the touch of God), and the priests and bishops have partnered with Dr. Rankin, allowing him to design, construct, and thus protect many of these artifacts in both Egypt and Ethiopia.  A trusting bond has been a great example of what teamwork, trust, prayer, and faith can do when it all works together.

Rankin Returns to Radio

It was a wonderful return to radio for Dr. Jim Rankin in 2025 as he made a stop in Tupelo, Mississippi to the worldwide headquarters and studios of American Family Radio.  John Riley, host of the Middle East Report Show, had Dr. Rankin as a guest, as they discussed biblical truths and discoveries, and the persecution of the lost tribes of the Ethiopian Jews.   It was a great and very informative time for the folks on AFR, and we hope to return again in the future.   

Dr. Rankin was in the radio industry for nearly 30 years with syndicated radio shows, CMA nominations, and was known for his nearly 600 celebrity interviews from all types of music, movies, and sports.    Riley knew right away that Jim had professional experience on the air the minute he slapped on the headsets.  We are all looking forward to even more with AFR in the future.  Â
