The Vision (Part One) 06/01/2010
A Light In The World Museum was my father's vision many years ago. I remember him telling me about his idea one day after we had visited a historical wax figure museum. Back then it was exciting when the mannequin's chest moved as if they breathed. My Dad told me he thought that a biblical museum could tell about Jesus in a fresh new experience for unbelievers as well as believers. He thought it would be an instrument that God would use to draw people to him.
I listened to his idea and knew exactly what he had in mind. I was always proud that my father was a bit unconventional. He challenged things that had been taught out of tradition and studied the word of God with a fresh open heart. He even coined the phrase "possibility thinking" which I see is used all over the place now. So, this museum idea wasn't so odd coming from him.
The museum remained in his heart as a part of the ministry he wished to grow. He included it in a written out vision and often spoke of it to others. But, for whatever reason, it was not to be accomplished by him. He passed away in 2003.
