CSE Blogs

Over the past several years Dinosaur Adventure Land has enjoyed the teachings of David Stewart from Animal Alley Ministries, who uses unusual animals to reach people with the truth of God’s creation. Many of you may remember him from his sessions at Creation Boot Camp here in Pensacola.

CSE is proud to offer the first DVD ever produced by Animal Alley Ministries, “Lessons from God’s Little Creatures!” In this DVD, David uses live, exotic animals to demonstrate Christian character traits such as kindness, loyalty, endurance, and responsibility. By watching the coatimundi, hedgehog, iguana, bearded dragon, gopher, tortoise and other unique animals, you will learn more about your heavenly Father as you enjoy His creation!

Job 12:7 “Ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air; and they shall tell thee.”This new release comes to us at an opportune time. Shortly after visiting Dinosaur Adventure Land during his speaking tour in March, David received a call from his wife to inform him of an accident that had taken place at their home in New York. To his horror, he was told of an electrical fire that took place and consumed his house and ministry buildings. Many of the animals that were not on tour with him were also destroyed in the fire.

We are thankful to the Lord that all of the Stewart family members are safe and unharmed. The outpouring of prayer and emotional support from Christian brothers and sisters has given much needed comfort. In spite of the enemy’s many attacks, the Stewarts know the only way through these afflictions is to trust the Lord. David is still traveling and witnessing, while his family is temporarily staying with their pastor.

Animal Alley Ministries is in the process of sorting through all the concerns involved with such an event. They request your prayers as they continue to seek the Lord’s guidance about the manner in which to continue serving as full time missionaries, their financial losses, their needs for long-term housing for themselves and their animals, necessary permits, the rebuilding of their ministry’s stock of teaching animals, and other issues resulting from this tragedy.

Cards of encouragement, letters, and donations to help with the rebuilding of their ministry can be sent to:

III John 4 “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth.”

During my four-month stay in the Escambia County Jail, I had the joy of seeing 17 men accept Christ as Savior. Most grew rapidly in the Lord as they attended our three Bible studies a day. Now that I have been gone for over a month, the two men I left in charge sent our office the following report. The names have been left out and the bunk numbers have been changed, but each represents a real man—either one who is growing in the Lord, or one who needs Him. The asterisks represent men who trusted Christ while I “pastored the Church in G2O.” Praise God!

“Dear Mr. Kent,

God bless you and everything you have done. All of us are praying for you to be released, and I believe that you will be sooner than you think. The seed that Jesus brought you here to plant has taken deep root. We have had many new additions, and thanks be to God, we were able to help a man pray to ask Jesus to be his Savior! Here’s an update on G2O.

Bunk #1 – A lost soul without a care for anyone but himself.

Bunk #2 – A new and consistently active member of Bible study. Grew up an Awana member earning the II Timothy 2:15 award as a child. Strayed from God but through the Bible study is back and living for God’s will.

Bunk #3 – A hardcore street thug who knows nothing but guns, drugs, and violence. He was someone Dave and I never thought would attend Bible study! Never in a million years! But one night out of the blue he came with a conscience of terrible guilt to bare. He has come to every Bible Study since. I have never seen an answer to prayer like this! A true miracle from Bunk #3!

Bunk #4 – A lost soul.

Bunk #5 – When Eric and Jo came to visit us, they said you were still praying for several men in G2O. We relayed this message to Bunk #5 and he came to Bible study that night. He is still caught up in the “hood lifestyle” but he has a conscience. One day, he will turn to God! Keep praying!

*Bunk #6 – Comes to every single Bible study! Reads the Bible you sent him day and night! Takes his convictions seriously. He has totally changed since he came to G2O. He is a new man!

Bunk #7 – Lost soul. No progress with him yet.

*Bunk #8 – Now leads the Bible study and is fervent in his heart about what God has planned for him. Has been blessed beyond his wildest dreams.

Bunk #9 – Was coming to every Bible study and was reading the Bible you sent him pretty regularly, but the State came at him with a twenty-year sentence. Now instead of coming to Bible study, he’s cussing, playing cards and worse things that I don’t want to mention. If he doesn’t change soon, I fear he will indeed get the 20 year sentence and worse from God.

*Bunk #10 – You, as I’m sure you remember, had your ministry provide him a Defender’s Study Bible. He came a few times to Bible study after you left, then stopped. He was just sentenced to ten years federal prison time and eight years probation afterward; and will be transferred within two weeks. We still love him and will keep praying for him.

Bunk #11 – Comes to almost every Bible study, but needs to work on his actions. Still cusses and gambles. But he has a conscience and knows he’s wrong for it.

Bunk #12 – Attends Bible study regularly and had one of his charges dropped—what a blessing. Still cusses and needs work on attitude.

Bunk #13 – Newcomer that just started attending Bible study.

Bunk #14 – Newcomer whose Dad was a preacher. Attends Bible study, but thinks he knows a better way. Obviously, his way didn’t work for him. We think he still needs Jesus.

*Bunk #15 – Attends every Bible study. Loves the new Bible you had gotten him only two days before you left G2O.

*Bunk #16 – Comes to every Bible study. Just had his V.O.P. dropped and his five-year sentence reduced to 18 months and rehab! Needs a Bible.

Bunk #17 – Totally lost!

*Bunk #18 – Me…working hard to do God’s will. I keep falling short, but I’m learning. Co-leader of the Bible study.

Bunk #19 – Accepted Jesus Christ only two days after coming to G2O!

*Bunk #20 – Attends every Bible study. Loves God in all HIS glory.

Bunk #21 – Still lost even after crying on his knees with another man. He just won’t let go and let God! He thinks he can save himself!

Bunk #22 – Troublemaker. Satan himself! Pray that he will be moved as he does nothing but try to disrupt the Bible studies!

God bless you, Mr. Kent. We are praying non-stop for God to get you released, but we will be forever grateful for the “Church in G2O” founded by you, Mr. Kent. God be with you!”
