The Vision (Part One)

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.
