Prepare to Believe – Traveling to the Creation Museum
Prepare to Believe is the theme for Answers in Genesis’ Creation Museum and that was the purpose when Lutherans For Life of Iowa took 23 passengers on a bus trip to the museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, in October. Understanding Genesis is essential to understanding the sanctity of life and the Creation Museum presents a walk through history of the first chapters of the Bible. Designed by a former Universal Studios exhibit director, this state-of-the-art 70,000 square-foot museum as well as the spectacular outdoor gardens and petting zoo bring the pages of the Bible to life!

You Are Part of Our LFL Family
With roughly one million charities operating in the United States it’s no wonder that you receive letters from many of them. It seems like everyone is asking you for support. You may wonder at times how some of these charities got your name. Adding to this is that your telephone seems to ring often now with requests for gifts. “Please help us meet our financial crisis!” “We will have to close our doors if we can’t pay our bills!” “Children will starve if you don’t give.” It’s downright confusing—and irritating. As you consider the charities that you want to support we hope you will consider at least five things about Lutherans For Life.
The Power of Prayer
The “power of prayer” is a term used frequently among Christians. It is something we say to someone going through a difficult time, or in need of encouragement. It is something we say to bring hope and comfort. But do we truly understand how powerful prayer is?
Giving and Receiving
I hear and see so many of our LFL supporters working hard to proclaim God’s love, that wonderful free gift, to educate people about life issues, and to help the weak. The weak can be those who are at the end of life and need help to get to the doctor’s appointment or their chemo treatment or it can be the young single pregnant woman who has no job and doesn’t know how she can keep the baby growing inside her.
