MAKING TRUTH CLEAR PROJECT, INC.
MINEOLA, TX

With these and many more like-instances, I set out to develop a Gospel presentation that would be complete enough not to confuse children or adults. Knowing everyone has very busy lifestyles, I have tried to make these materials easy to prepare and share; keeping the lessons simple, yet thorough. I have taken into consideration that not all people know what I call, “Christianize”, words and phrases known to people regularly attending church. Children love pictures and are very interested in stories; by incorporating both in our Making Truth Clear products, we have seen how children have learned the stories so well they can “story” the Gospel message using the pictures. Around the world people face very difficult and serious problems; many see evil all around them. Today people are seeking answers and help — often looking in the wrong places. Through written and spoken storytelling, we want to make it possible for all people to find their answers and help through coming to know the one and only true God — who He is, what He thinks of us, His creation, and what He has done for us through His Son, Jesus Christ — as He has progressively revealed these truths to us through His Word, the Bible. Because we believe that through the teaching in our stories, children and adults of all cultures and language groups can receive a solid biblical foundation to base their salvation and continual spiritual growth upon, we would like to see them translated and distributed to every people group in the world. Having served in Christian ministry over 40 years, 27 years ministering with children as missionaries with Awana Clubs International, I am convinced that there is a serious lack of a thorough and clear biblical understanding of the gospel message.  After ministering in the US as Awana missionaries for eight years, Awana sent my husband and I to Papua New Guinea to develop a program for Awana that would meet the needs of biblical understanding for children with animistic and mixed-cultural worldviews — whether literate or not.  While in Papua New Guinea, we partnered with New Tribes Mission (now called ).  This partnership allowed us to come to understand how the culture and worldview of different people groups affect their understanding of the gospel message. With God’s guidance during the nine years we ministered in Papua New Guinea, we were able to develop a four-year children’s program adapting the Bible lessons from the chronological biblical teaching found in New Tribes Mission’s Firm Foundations Series — meeting the needs of not only tribal and illiterate children, but any child of any background and worldview, anywhere in the world.  Today, this Awana program, Awana TruthSeekers, is being used by churches around the world. At this time there are other organizations using the chronological biblical teaching approach in presenting biblical truths.  However, they, like the program we at Awana developed, take quite a while to get through all the lessons.  There are situations where an individual, church, or mission organization has a shorter, limited time to present the gospel message.  Often, when trying to fit a gospel presentation into a short time period, important truths are left out which are needed for laying a solid, biblical foundation for understanding the gospel, causing confusion and possibly false hope for those with mixed or weak biblical understanding. Welcome to Making Truth Clear Through written and spoken storytelling, we want to make it possible for all people to find their answers and help through coming to know the one and only true God — who He is, what He thinks of us, His creation, and what He has done for us through His Son, Jesus Christ — truths He has progressively revealed to us through His Word, the Bible. All of our products focus on the redemption story. One of our products, The Gospel Made Clear Around the World, is a flipchart Bible study tool that was created to allow you to present the Gospel with foundational, chronological, biblical teaching, that people can clearly understand.
