“I wanted to send you an email to thank you once again for the Creation Worldview classes that you taught last year. The three Goff girls who attended still talk about those classes and how they were a highlight of our week. I wanted to encourage you that what you taught is making a difference in our lives! We were already “sold out” to the Creationist point of view before the classes began, but what you shared over those weeks gave us more of a foundation in our beliefs and also fired up the passion in our hearts to really stand for what we believe in. I wanted to tell you this to remind you all that the Lord is still using your classes in mighty ways. Thank you for helping to shape so many lives to come to believe in the power and infallibility of the written Word!”
“I just have to tell you thank you for putting on this class. Not only do my boys LOVE it, but you are a very gifted teacher. You are extremely organized, witty, interact wonderfully with the students, and knowledgeable. God has certainly given you a gift. Excellent professional class!!!!”
“We would like to thank you for taking time to teach this class. We have both enjoyed ourselves and learned so many new and interesting things! We are excited to pass this information on to our friends and family. I (Lainie) really loved learning about the Grand Canyon and all the different layers of earth. I hope to visit it sometime and then look for what we have discussed. I (Corban) really liked learning about the dinosaurs; I think it was my favorite subject. I also liked learning about Charles Darwin’s life. That was very interesting. Thank you so much for being such a fun teacher with all your clever experiments.”
