Update: South Africa!
|
Joanne and I traveled to South Africa on the 15th of August. It was Joanne’s 1st trip and my 5th. Joanne had a great time making new friends, ministering to some of the women, and seeing some of what South Africa has to offer. She stayed for about 10 days while I continued there for another 10 days.
It was my 3rd trip to Living Word Bible College in Pretoria. I had the privilege to teach both 1st and 2nd-year students. Once again, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of competence the students demonstrate. It’s no accident these students are so doing well. Mainly, it is the approach that the Bible college takes to studying Scripture. Read More |
Why "No Pat Answers"?
A "PAT ANSWER" IS A TRITE, GLIB, SHOT FROM THE HIP, THAT IS NOT VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT. SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST REQUIRES MORE THAN PAT ANSWERS. |

It has been my pleasure to have known Ray Ciervo since 2000 when he enrolled in Southern Evangelical Seminary (SES). As a student, he earned the highest academic honors. Since his graduation in 2002 Ray has taught Bible College and Christian High School and a variety of conferences and seminars.
In 2007, he returned to NJ where he has taught in local churches, helping them to implement apologetics into their curriculum and preaching. He has also taught numerous courses in local churches on the existence of God and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Ray is sound on all the fundamentals of the Faith such as the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, sacrificial atonement, bodily resurrection, and the inspiration of the Bible. In 2008 he began the New Jersey Christian Apologetics Conference at which I have spoken on two occasions. He has brought in national and international apologists to help build the church. He also conducts seminars several times a year called "No Pat Answers." Ray has also recently published his first apologetics book, "Apologetics for the Rest of Us: A Beginner's Guide." I am happy to recommend Ray's ministry to you as someone who can benefit your church, school, and ministry particularly in the area of essential doctrines and apologetics. Ray has a lovely and committed wife of many years who is very supportive of his ministry. Sincerely serving, Norman Geisler "Thanks again for doing an awesome job leading our Apologetics Conference! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the presentations. The material was excellent; and I know our people were blessed, educated and edified in their faith. You had a great way of breaking the material down so that those new to apologetics could understand and assimilate the truths and principles" - Pastor Dwain Kitchens of The Tabernacle Church in Sarasota,FL
"Just stumbled on a Frank Turek video and found a bunch of videos you had showed us when you were teaching at KCA. Just wanted to let you know that that class had single handedly taught me the most i have ever learned and is probably the reason I am still a Christian." - Past Student |
"Ray Ciervo stirred up our desire to know better how to defend our faith. His presentation was thought-provoking and lucid. Allowing questions and interaction as he presented, there was a high level of participation from the group. In follow up conversations with attendees, many expressed an interest in learning more and becoming more skilled in asking questions, engaging non-Christians, and equipping our own youth. In addition, we found Ray to be a goldmine of resources for us to prepare ourselves to represent Jesus without pat answers. "
-Keith C., regarding Ray's 2017 trip to Mobile, AL. " I wanted to let you know I met my first ever atheist while I was in California. It was very exciting. I was amazed how scripted the conversation was. I was so much more comfortable with discussing various points because of what I have learned over the last year. I knew how to listen to him and explain some facts he was unaware. Although he ended the conversation by telling me he was too old to change, I reassured him it was never too late to learn something, I can testify to that. I wanted to thank you for all that you do, the time you put into your studies, presentations, conferences has made a difference for me. Finally, I can share my faith without fear and trepidation." - Peggy D. |
