RTS VIRTUAL ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT Trevor Johnson (MAR '04) and his wife Teresa and their children Noah (5) and Alethea (2) left for Indonesia on Jan. 26. They expect to stay 4 ½ years this time before returning again. Pray for them as they plan to: better establish and strengthen their existing network of highland Dani evangelists as they help them move to the unreached lowlands and stay there and saturate the swamps with the gospel; nail down the tribal language; recruit and field teams to reach coastal Muslim transmigrants; translate solid books into Indonesian. Follow their blog here, or check out the World Team Papua Web site or you can also follow them here.
NEW STUDENT SPOTLIGHT Jamin Hubner is one of our newer M.A. (Religion) degree students. Jamin is a graduate of Dordt College where he earned a B.A. in Theology. Jamin just attended the February MAR Orientation held on the campus of RTS/Charlotte. Jamin has created the apologetics website called, Real Apologetics. As Jamin states, "RealApologetics.org has all of the basic goals of a Christian apologetics organization – to defend the faith in order to prepare souls for conversion, to edify the church, and to “give a defense” (I Peter 3:15). To visit this website, click here. Jamin is also the author of the following two books (only available on Amazon.com).
Light Up the Darkness: Christianity, Calvinism, and Coherence in the Film "I Am Legend" - Jamin says, "This is, as far as I know, the most exhaustive 'faith and film' publication written from a Reformed perspective available today."
The Portable Presuppositionalist: Biblical Apologetics in the 21st Century, First Edition - The primary purpose of this book is to be a reference of quotations and debate transcripts for the Reformed apologist.
