Please make any checks to me. I don’t have a “business” account set up for Genesis Evidence Ministry yet. Banks make it cost prohibitive. I don’t like the idea of calling a ministry a “business”, though I may have to eventually 🙁

GENESIS EVIDENCE MINISTRY
Presenting evidence of things seen, to strengthen our faith – the evidence of things not seen.
My ministry can benefit anyone in any stage of their relationship (or lack thereof) with Christ.
* It can give non-believers solid reasons to trust the Bible and put their faith in Christ. It removes the roadblocks, excuses, and doubts.
* It can encourage new believers to grow in their walk with Christ and trust in His word, with confidence their new found faith is in something real.
* It can thrill and encourage even the most seasoned saints to see evidence confirming the truth of the scripture.
* It can make backsliders realize the Bible is true, God is real, and they’d better take them seriously, because they will give account to a holy God.
I require no guaranteed amount for an offering. I operate on a FREE WILL OFFERING basis. I will accept whatever the Lord will provide. I have held meetings at many small churches, sometimes less than 20 members.
In fact since I retired in May 2022, I can no longer accept anything that would be considered “income”. If I go over the limit, I lose an entire month’s social security. I work part-time and the company I work for pays me right up to my social security limit. I can accept expenses. My wife is a BJU/U of N.O. trained musician (Master’s degree in voice and music instruction). Churches can give her as much as they want without affecting my income limit. Churches that are not 501c3 can do whatever they want.
Experience:
I’ve been preaching on creation related issues for 20 years, full-time since mid-2013. I’ve preached creation messages in three foreign countries (Poland, Russia, Mexico) and about half the states in the US.
I’ve done university-level seminars along with Ph.D. scientists, spoken for creation science organizations, preached in churches, done week-long revivals, VBS, King’s Kids youth programs, and more.
I’ve been a member of Wyldewood Baptist Church Oshkosh, WI since 1989 (over 30 years). I have preached and taught dozens of times there to adults and kids.
I’ve taken creation research trips to Mt. St. Helens, the Paluxy River (Texas), Niagara Falls, riverbeds in Dayton, OH (fossil collecting), AIG’s Creation Museum, ICR’s Discovery Center, and Joe Taylor’s Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum.
Credentials:
* A.A. (two and three year degrees) from Wyldewood Baptist Bible Institute. 4.0 GPA.
* A.A. in applied arts with honors and member of National Dean’s list, Finlandia University. 2nd in class in cellular biology (Prof. Donald Walhalla). 1st in class in general science at East Detroit High School (instructors Maata, Jasina).
* Honorable Mention Induction into the Creation Science Hall of Fame.
* Presenter at Society of Creation (CRS) and Creation Science Society of Milwaukee.
* Contributor to “Reasons to Affirm …” booklet series with the Creation Research Society.
* Have spoken at Concordia University, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Fox Valley Technical College, and SE Missouri State.

WARNING: I do post provocative things on Facebook. They sometimes rub people the wrong way. I think sometimes people NEED to be rubbed the wrong way. My goal is to get people to think. I don’t even always agree with the things I post, but they are often compelling, challenging, and thought provoking. I think that is edifying, albeit not always pleasant. Reality and truth are not always all positive. There is PLENTY of lovey-dovey, positive stuff floating around and I don’t need to add to that. Not everybody sees it that way, and I don’t expect everyone has to be like me.
I also am on MeWe, though that doesn’t have the reach Facebook currently has.
I absolutely LOVE your website. I want to send you a friend request on Facebook as well. God bless you and your ministry brother!
Thanks,
Nate Beck
