Officers were dispatched Thursday afternoon to Giant Eagle on Bradshaw Avenue for two men on bicycles, one of whom was reported to be high on drugs. As they approached John W. Henrick, 31, Grant Street, Newell, W.Va., he reportedly stumbled and nearly fell, reached into his pocket and dropped a syringe onto the ground. The syringe, which was filled with a brown liquid, will be sent to a lab for testing, according to reports. Henrick was charged with possession of drug abuse instruments. The other man, John W. Wright, 58, Ryder Alley, was patted down, and officers reported finding he had a burnt spoon and knife in his pocket. He also had an outstanding warrant for failure to pay child support.

Officers responded Wednesday to Huston Street for a report of an intoxicated man cutting himself, where they spoke with Ashley Perrine, who said her boyfriend, Keith Y. Graham, 35, same address, was taking pills and cutting himself, also using his shirt to choke her. He had fled into the woods before officers arrived, but about 30 minutes later Graham returned and officers were called back to the residence, where they found him sitting on the ground, arguing with Perrine. He reportedly pulled out a pill bottle and began pouring pills later found to be Xanax into his mouth. Officers used a Taser on Graham, who fell to the ground but still did not comply with their orders to stop taking the pills, according to reports. They sprayed mace, which forced him to spit out the pills. A folding knife was found in his pocket, and Graham was found to have self-inflicted cuts on his forearms. He was transported to the hospital and was charged with disorderly conduct/intoxication and, after treatment, taken to county jail.

So let's look at this subject; I'mma tell you why I'm disgusted
So tonight, looks like sex will be our topic of discussion
Now see, sex isn't evil, for marriage is why God made it
But I know you're like, "Come on, man, that's too outdated!
This is 2011, bro; we do it for recreation
And hey, if you're in college, you do it while you're wasted"
But I wanna question this logic, I wanna pop off the seal
I wanna question something that we think is already a done deal
So take a rape victim, for example, and once it's revealed
When her bruises go away, is she totally healed?
No, the damage is lasting; you can see it in her eyes
But if it was just abused recreation, why did it ruin her life?
I mean, if sex is just for fun, why does it take such a toll?
Maybe it's 'cause you don't just have sex with a body; you have sex with a soul
Which means for me, there ain't no premarital lovin'
And it ain't just because I don't want a baby in the oven
It's because I'm staying pure until the day that I'm a husband
But see, this wasn't always me, that's a guarantee
Let's go back in the past, see who I used to be
Now, growing up, I never learned how to treat a lady
If I learned one thing from my dad, it was "leave the mom, ditch the baby"
Now, I don't say that to get sympathy; I say that to be real
Because according to stats, about 40% of you know how that feels
So I let the TV show me what the music already told me
No dad at home, so I was letting MTV mold me
And they sold me, which is why my life revolved around what girl I could get next
My life revolved around this girl named "sex"
Sure, I'd get at her on the text, but I've got to confess
It seems the longer we dated, the bigger the mess
But then, my girlfriend was late on that time of the month
If you know what I mean, you'll understand when I say my heart sunk
I started to think about abortion, man; I started to butter it up
But it's funny they don't make condoms for sin; you can't just cover it up
It was just a scare, but I knew a father I don't wanna be
It's funny how I was pro-life until it happened to me
So dudes, think twice before you desire her just 'cause she's hot
'Cause the truth is, your body makes a promise whether you do or not

This Austrailian affair was the kind that just overflows with love. Where every detail has a meaning and where thought was just poured into every moment of the day. It's the kind of wedding we adore here at SMP, and thanks to Lisa Hayman's beautiful images, we can get lost in all the magic of the day here.
From The Bride…Adam proposed during a long weekend away that he planned in the Yarra Valley, VIC in March 2014. It was a beautiful weekend where we stayed at the historic homestead, Chateau Yering. We started the day off with a hot air balloon ride, followed by a wine tour where we drank wine and ate cheese all day. We enjoyed relaxing at Chateau Yering homestead, and this is where Adam popped the question overlooking the amazing vineyards.
From Lisa Hayman (with information provided by Aimee)…Aimee and Adam were wed on April 18, 2015 amongst the golden vines at Avon Ridge Winery in the outskirts of the small country Victorian town of Maffra. Inspired by the Magnolia leaf, Aimee tied elements of the gold leaf, blush pink, charcoal, Doddavine and craft paper to create her theme and vision for the day. Both Aimee and Adam wanted to create an elegant, romantic and slightly rustic feel to the day. Avon Ridge Winery provided the perfect platform for Aimee and Adam's creative vision – the venue is intimate, relaxed and is framed by rolling hills and lengthy grapevines.
Whilst both Aimee and Adam's families live interstate, family still remained a central focus of the wedding preparations and wedding day. Both families worked on many DIY projects for the wedding. Aimee created all the table centre pieces – collecting jars, and wrapping fresh doddavine around the jar then letting it naturally dry over the months leading up to the wedding. In addition, she created the beautiful tulle backdrop for the photo booth they set up for guests on the verandah during the reception. Sister-of-the-Bride, Annelise, designed and painted the fingerprint tree the couple used as their guest book. Mother-of-the-Bride Cherie made all the beautiful blackboards & signage for the event. In a very special family tradition, both the mother-of-the-bride and mother-in-law made their family tradition fruit cake as the wedding cake – contributing a tier each. The father-of-the-bride owns a Café and blends his own teas in the New England area. He created special tea blend favours for Aimee's brother's wedding. She wanted to follow the tradition and her father made Aimee and Adam their own special wedding blend and they gave it to their guests. On the wishing well table they displayed generation family wedding photos from both sides. This was a talking point and was very special for both Aimee and Adam.
Aimee wore a stunning, figure hugging ivory Carla Zampatti gown. Aimee's sisters and Mother flew down to Melbourne in the months leading up to the wedding for a girls week away. After trying on a number of detailed potential bridal dresses that just didn't feel right, on the last day Aimee and the girls went to David Jones in the Melbourne CBD where she showed them a particular Carla Zampatti dress she had been eyeing off. All three of them forced Aimee to try the dress on and it was love at first sight!
The wedding day ran like clockwork (aside from a little mishap with a missing pair of groomsman pants!). Rain was threatening to come down all morning but we didn't get a drop of it until the moment Aimee and Adam were pronounced husband and wife – it was a pretty epic declaration of marriage from the Heavens! The hugs and congratulatory handshakes were cut short as the couple sought shelter under the veranda of the winery restaurant. Thankfully it only rained for 5 minutes then the rest of the afternoon was spent basked in beautiful autumnal sun as we took bridal party portraits in the winery grounds. For both Aimee and Adam, one of the highlights of the wedding day was spending time with loved ones and seeing the joy and happiness on their faces throughout the day.

Catholic League Expresses Disapproval of David Bowie's "The Next Day" Video
Organization's President, Bill Donohue Issues Response
Yesterday David Bowie premiered released a music video for "The Next Day," the title track off his new album. Starring Gary Oldman and actress Marion Cotillard, the clip, "written and conceived" by Bowie, depicted The Thin White Duke as a Christ-like figure entertaining a bar filled with philandering clergymen. To the absolute surprise of no one the Catholic League issued a response to the video calling it a "mess" and Bowie a "switch-hitting, bisexual, senior citizen from London."
Written by the organization's president Bill Donohue, the letter goes on to say "Bowie is nothing if not confused about religion. He once made a public confession: 'I was young, fancy free, and Tibetan Buddhism appealed to me at that time. I thought, 'There's salvation.' It didn't really work. Then I went through Nietzsche, Satanism, Christianity…pottery, and ended up singing. It's been a long road.' Too bad the pottery didn't work."
Bowie, who has kept almost completely silent regarding his new album, has not commented on the Catholic League's remarks.

Terrance Williams said he needed to do a better job of preventing the interception of Tony Romo in the fourth quarter. "I ran past him to try to see if he would turn and move his hips, but he didn't. He just stayed there," Williams said of cornerback A.J. Jefferson, who grabbed the sideline pass with 4:29 left in the game and the Vikings ahead 23-20. "I tried to cut him off, but I've just got to do a better job of being more physical, or just at least trying to deflect the ball so a pick like that wouldn't happen."

Key Findings for THE PORN PHENOMENON Unveiled
Josh McDowell Ministry and Barna Group Unveil Key Findings for THE PORN PHENOMENON
For Immediate Release
PRESS CONTACT: Justin Nations; email@example.com, 706-207-9590
(On Jan 19, findings also available at: www.pornphenomenon.com)
(New York, NY – January 19, 2016) – THE PORN PHENOMENON: A COMPREHENSIVE, GROUNDBREAKING NEW SURVEY ON AMERICANS, THE CHURCH, AND PORNOGRAPHY: Impact of Internet Pornography on American Population and the Church
From The Study: "Pornography has gone almost completely digital"
Use Is Particularly Evident Among Teens And Young Adults
In the most comprehensive, ground-breaking, in-depth and wide-ranging study to date on pornography among the American population and the Church — research reveals a younger exposure to pornography, increased desensitization and an escalating usage of pornography. These results are particularly evident among teens and young adults, who are watching porn and seeking it out more than any other generation.
"Pornography violates all relational values between the individual and self, the individual and society, the unity of our families and our moral fabric and fiber as a nation," said Josh McDowell. "When we objectify and demean life by removing the sanctity of the human person, our future is at risk."
The findings were announced at a news conference on Tuesday, January 19th at 10 AM Eastern time at The Omni Berkshire Hotel, 21 East 52nd Street in New York City.
Twice as many young adults ages 25-30 first viewed pornography before puberty than did the next generation—Gen X.
More than one quarter (27%) of young adults ages 25-30 first viewed pornography before puberty.
- This is significantly higher than the GenX cohort, of which only 13% started viewing porn before puberty
Teens and young adults have a cavalier attitude toward porn
- When they talk about pornography with friends, 90% of teens, and 96% of young adults say they do so in an either neutral, accepting, or encouraging way.
- Only one in 20 young adults and one in 10 teens say their friends think viewing pornography is a bad thing.
Teens and young adults consider "not recycling" more immoral than viewing pornography.
- Less than one-third (32%) say viewing porn is "usually or always wrong" compared to the more than half (56%) who say not recycling is "usually or always wrong"
Young adults are watching more porn and seeking it out more than any other generation.
- Among ages 13-17: 8% daily; 18% weekly; 17% once or twice a month
- Among ages 18-24: 12% daily; 26% weekly; 19% once or twice a month
- Among ages 25-30: 8% daily; 17% weekly; 20% once or twice a month
And their friends are too:
- Half of young adults say "most" (32%) or "all" (17%) of their friends regularly look at porn. An additional 21% say about "half" their friends do.
Nearly half of young adults say they come across porn at least once a week—even when they aren't seeking it out.
- Whether they are seeking it out or not, 16% of young adults say they come across porn daily and 32% do so weekly; an additional 23% say they do once or twice a month.
- 8% of teens say they come across porn daily and 21% do so weekly; an additional 21% say they do so once or twice a month.
Teenage girls and young women are significantly more likely to actively seek out porn than women over age 25.
- 33% of women, ages 13-24 seek out porn at least once a month compared to 12% of women over age 25
Most teens are "sexting" – either on the receiving or sending end of sexually explicit images.
- 66% of teens and young adults have received a sexually explicit image and 41% have sent one (usually from/to their boy/girlfriend or friend)
70% of Christian youth pastors have had at least one teen come to them for help in dealing with porn in the past 12 months
Most often, those kids were:
- high school boys (92%)
- middle school boys (57%)
- high school girls (23%)
- middle school girls (10%)
21% of youth pastors and 14% of pastors admit they currently struggle with using porn.
- About 12% of Youth Pastors and 5% of Pastors say there are addicted to porn
- 87% of pastors who use porn feel a great sense of shame about it
- 55% of pastors who use porn say they live in constant fear of being discovered
Half of daily users watch porn for fun
- 54% of people who actively seek out porn on a daily basis, do so because "it's just fun."
Pornography has gone almost completely digital.
- 71% of adults, 85% of teens and young adults who have viewed pornography did so using online videos
- Magazines, graphic novels, on-demand videos and cable or rented/purchased DVDs have almost completely lost the market share, with each scoring less than 10% (aside from a slightly higher percentage of 50+ adults using DVDs)
"I know it when I see it." Porn is notoriously difficult to define. So, how do Americans define it? Turns out, it's more a question of function than form. If it's used for sexual arousal, it's porn. Simple as that.
When asked the question, "What makes something porn?" The top two reasons given were:
- 70%: if it's watched/listened to/or read specifically for the purpose of sexual arousal
- 60%: if you masturbated while watching/listening to/or reading it
A wide-ranging, nationally-representative audience of nearly 3,000 participated in four online studies, including in-depth surveys among the general population, American teenagers, Christian pastors and the Christian church.
The research study was conducted by Barna Group, a visionary research and resource company focused on the intersection of faith and culture. The study has been commissioned by Josh McDowell Ministries, a Cru ministry based in Plano, Texas.
Presenters at the news conference were: David Kinnaman, president of the Barna Group (https://www.barna.org/); Roxanne Stone, editor in chief of Barna Group; and Josh McDowell, founder of Josh McDowell Ministry (http://www.josh.org/).

"Beauty of Intolerance" — NEW resource from Josh & Sean McDowell
Media Contact: Kelsey Hulgan
email@example.com, 404-754-3474
New resource from father/son duo points to biblical truth, bridges gap between understandings of tolerance
"We believe it is possible to truly love and accept people with whom we significantly disagree—even if such an approach is increasingly considered intolerant."
Uhrichsville, Ohio (November 2015)—Mother Teresa was intolerant of poverty. Martin Luther King was intolerant of racism. Jesus was intolerant of bigotry. So why has our culture deemed "intolerant" a dirty word when it can clearly be a beautiful thing?
Father and son duo Josh and Sean McDowell take a deep dive into truth and tolerance, examining how culture has shifted their meanings and what can be done to return to a biblical narrative in the new book The Beauty of Intolerance: Setting a Generation Free to Know Truth & Love (Shiloh Run Press, February 2016).
"This generation of young people is calling for tolerance of practically every belief and lifestyle under the sun," write the McDowells. "They call for a new tolerance in hopes of being celebrated for their uniqueness—those things that set them apart. They want to be validated for who they are and what they feel."
Josh and Sean examine the evolution from traditional to cultural tolerance, highlighting how two different generations view the issue and pinpointing a shift in the source of moral truth as the biggest proponent of change. Culture says that moral truth is found within the individual, rather than in the Bible.
"Step by step, we discover how biblical truth actually peels back the curtain to expose the error of the cultural view and its champion—tolerance."
Through The Beauty of Intolerance and The Beauty of Intolerance Study Guide, the McDowells provide clarity on today's cultural view of tolerance, detect its inaccuracies, and offer practical insight to live out a biblical view of tolerance.
Josh and Sean are available for interviews and can speak to:
- The true meaning of tolerance: how to love those with different views
- The fine line between tolerance and intolerance
- What the Bible actually says about tolerance
- How parents can respond to the tolerance their children often seek

International Speaker and Author Josh McDowell Releases Most Convincing Apologetic Book, Titled "God-Breathed," That Reveals Rare Artifacts Confirming Ancient Biblical Texts
UHRICHSVILLE, OH, February 25, 2015—Best-selling author Josh McDowell literally breaks new ground to offer the church and skeptics alike tangible facts for the accuracy and reliability of the Bible in his latest book, titled God-Breathed—the Undeniable Power and Reliability of Scripture (Shiloh Run Press, April 2015). In one of his most convincing apologetics messages of his five-decade-long ministry, McDowell presents the fascinating and compelling story of how recent archaeological finds—acquired from a long standing private selection of Egyptian artifacts and other objects made from papyrus dating back nearly 2,000 years—underscore the power and reliability of Scripture.

In "God-Breathed," Josh chronicles his recent identification of ancient fragments and a 540-year-old Torah, along with his personal journey to faith as an unbelieving skeptic of Christianity and the Bible, to present a compelling case that God's Word can be trusted to be undeniably reliable. Meanwhile in the U.S., skepticism about the truth of the Bible continues to rise according to a 2014 Barna Group study. It found the number of those who are skeptical or agnostic toward the Bible—who believe that the Bible is "just another book of teachings written by men that contains stories and advice"—has nearly doubled from 10% to 19% in just three years.
"Each book, each page and each paragraph of Scripture was written through the lens of its human spokesmen, yet it still communicates the exact message God wants us to receive," McDowell said. "His words were supernaturally guided through his selected human instruments so that his truth would be vivid and relevant to our lives. With God as the author and men as the writers, the sixty-six books of the Bible can rightly be called the Word of God."
In December of 2013, McDowell assembled a team of international scholars, to identify rare Egyptian cartinage and other ancient artifacts — dating back as far as 1,600 and 2,200 years — in hopes of finding fragments of ancient scriptural writings. Ancient manuscript and language experts extracted and initially analyzed and identified the papyri within these artifacts as six New Testament passages and one Old Testament manuscript fragment—seven treasures in all! While all the manuscripts are yet unpublished and must be further scrutinized to determine the exact content and more precise dating, we do know what passages these are from—Mark 15, John 14, Matthew 6 and 7, 1 John 2, Galatians 4 and Jeremiah 33—and the approximate time period. Scholars say that six of these manuscripts are possibly the earliest known Coptic papyrus of these passages in existence today. Josh has launched the Heroic Truth Experience, a live speaking tour to showcase his ministry's museum-quality biblical artifacts as irrefutable evidence of the Bible's reliability.
"My hope is that this God-Breathed book will help people realize not only that the word of God is true, but also that it is alive and powerful. I equally want people to be convinced they can trust the Bible because the evidence is so incredible," Josh said.
Since his radical conversion to Christianity in college, Josh has been a walking testimony of how ancient fragments of Scripture powerfully drew him to God. Those ancient manuscripts and the evidence of their reliability brought him to the conclusion that they were not only true and reliable, but also that Christ was who he said he was—the Son of God who came to save the world.
In 1961, Josh joined the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ International. Not long after, he started the Josh McDowell Ministry to reach young people worldwide with the truth and love of Jesus. Well known as an articulate speaker, Josh has addressed more than 25 million people, giving over 27,000 talks in 125 countries. Josh has authored or co-authored 142 books in over one hundred languages including, More Than a Carpenter –over 27 million copies distributed—and New Evidence That Demands a Verdict –named one of the twentieth century's top 40 books.

NASCAR and Josh McDowell Team Up
NASCAR and Josh McDowell Team Up to Promote Inspiring, True Movie 'Undaunted'
DALLAS – Oct. 31, 2012 – Supporters are literally racing to help promote the inspiring faith film UNDAUNTED: THE EARLY LIFE OF JOSH McDOWELL, which launched on DVD this month. NASCAR team MacDonald Motorsports; author and film producer Jeff Elliott; and film distributor EchoLight Studios team with Josh McDowell Ministry to highlight the film at Saturday's O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge at the Texas Motor Speedway with on-car promotion, DVD giveaways and special appearances by McDowell with drivers and race fans.
"The opportunity to reach NASCAR's vast audience with UNDAUNTED's message of hope and the power of forgiveness is truly awesome," said McDowell, a world-renown Christian apologist, author and humanitarian. "I know this story of finding faith and God's love through the most challenging circumstances will resonate and spread word of the film to many who need to hear about it."
UNDAUNTED: THE EARLY LIFE OF JOSH McDOWELL is an award-winning, "pull no punches" docudrama. A dysfunctional family life, an alcoholic and violent father, and a sexually abusive worker on the family farm contributed to deep scars in McDowell's life, causing him to deny God's existence. UNDAUNTED unfolds the dramatic spiritual transformation that occurs when Josh faces his past head-on and puts everything in God's hands. Produced by Moonlit Pictures, UNDAUNTED is distributed by EchoLight Studios.
The NASCAR opportunity for UNDAUNTED weaves a fascinating story in itself. Many members of the MacDonald Motorsports team have long supported Motor Racing Outreach (MRO), which offers chapel services for NASCAR drivers and teams. Inspired by theUNDAUNTED story, MacDonald Motorsports truly stepped up by making the car available through a sponsorship package to gain awareness for the film, and Josh's story of God's love.
Enter Jeff Elliott, a retired Illinois firefighter telling an overcoming faith story of his own. Elliott wrote a book and has now connected to SOUL SURFER producer Dutch Hoffstetter to make HOOVEY, a film about his son miraculously recovering from brain tumor surgery and eventually achieving his dream to play college basketball. Working with EchoLight Studios, which has green lit HOOVEY based on the true story, Elliott learned of UNDAUNTED and the NASCAR opportunity. He immediately felt compelled to help underwrite the cost of the sponsorship.
"A story like Josh's—of faith winning out over adversity—just touched my heart because in my family we needed that same faith as our son faced brain surgery," Elliott said. "I'm proud to be a part of bringing Josh and UNDAUNTED to 'NASCAR nation.'"
With the sponsorship, McDowell gains a rare opportunity to encourage NASCAR teams at the Motor Racing Outreach services this Saturday before the O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge, part of NASCAR's Nationwide Series. And in addition to other exposure, McDowell will also lead Sunday's MRO services before NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series AAA Texas 500, and be on hand for the race, meeting drivers, teams and fans and encouraging them with his story.
"Being able to take advantage of this NASCAR opportunity—people coming together to inspire and uplift—is exactly the kind of story EchoLight Studios was created to share," EchoLight Chief Global Strategist Christopher Morrow said. "What a privilege it is to partner in bringing the vital message of UNDAUNTED to NASCAR's millions of fans."
UNDAUNTED is available now through such leading online and retail providers as ChristianCinema.com, Amazon.com, CBD, Family Christian Stores and Walmart among many others.

"UNDAUNTED" Awarded Prestigious Crown Awards
Scott Lonski 972-537-0843
'Undaunted: The Early Life of Josh McDowell' receives two Crown Awards at the International Christian Visual Media Conference
FLOWER MOUND, TX – July 20, 2012 – Josh McDowell Ministry was honored by the International Christian Visual Media Conference this past week in Orlando, FL with two of its celebrated Crown Awards. "Undaunted: The Early Life of Josh McDowell" won in two categories, one of which was for "Best Evangelistic Film."
The Crown Awards which recognize excellence in production and content of films and videos that reflect Christian values in a secular world represent an international endorsement of this project and the message it sends to a hurting world.
Josh McDowell had this to say about the award; "We're honored and humbled with this recognition by the International Christian Visual Media Conference. It is reflective of what we see God doing with this film around the world in the lives of the hurting and lost. While people everywhere struggle with similar scars, it is our Heavenly Father who can take the broken pieces and create something beautiful, filled with hope and purpose."
The film, which is a docudrama, focuses on the early years of Josh McDowell's life growing up in a dysfunctional family with an alcoholic father and a sexually abusive caregiver. McDowell's tragic childhood is the foundation that sets him on a path that would turn him from agnostic to evangelist as he searches for truth as a college student.
"We are so excited about this project for several reasons," says Bobby Downes, President of EchoLight studios. "Not only has Josh McDowell produced a film of the highest quality, this film represents a ministry tool that will heal the hurting and lead the unsaved to Christ for the next century and beyond, so the recognition by ICVM is just further evidence that God is going to do amazing things with this project."
Undaunted: The Early Life of Josh McDowell is slated for release in October of 2012 and is being distributed by EchoLight Studios.

Argentina Shocked and Encouraged by Josh McDowell

Press Release Summary: PLANO, TX: Argentina Shocked and Encouraged by Josh McDowell.
PLANO, TX, July 17, 2012- The Bare Facts Latin America Tour 2012 Effectively Shed Light on Sex, Love, and Relationships
Reaching across cultures, Josh McDowell successfully opened the eyes of eager participants in Argentina on material from The Bare Facts: 39 Questions Your Parents Hope You Never Ask About Sex. Giving a Biblical vision of God's design for sex, discussing ground-level application of imparting this truth to youth, and answering questions without limitations, this tour is literally changing the direction of a sexualized culture. McDowell visited 6 cities in Argentina from May 22nd to June 2nd, speaking to audiences numbering 3,350 and 2,800 in various settings. The participants' responses were overwhelmingly positive:
Javier Santini, representative of the Catholic Church Compañía de Jesús in Córdoba, Argentina states: "I have two small children and this seminar opened my eyes. I never imagined that these things were taking place. Thank you for touching a taboo subject in the religious community. The world is changing all around us without asking our permission, and we need to be trained to respond anywhere and everywhere. My most sincere thanks for what Josh shared, and I extend my commitment to share this information with as many families as possible. To care for and to shepherd is not just a slogan; it is a cause worthy of our attention.
In addition, Andrea, a teacher and director of a ministry to children, said, "It is indescribable how much light has shed on hidden realities that our children suffer from. I always suspected some of these things but had never had the benefit of information and guidance that the seminar gives. The information is concerning, but at the same time, I now have training and encouragement to know that there is hope."
The seminar included 10 hours of intensive training, presentations, and Q&A time. Each seminar closed with Undaunted, the docudrama on McDowell's early life with an alcoholic father, sexual abuse, severe dysfunction, and hopelessness. While heart wrenching to watch, it's raw account and honest confrontation of these taboo topics disarms the hearts of its audience to wrestle with the goodness and redemptive plan of God. Participants also received a Bare Facts certificate and a copy of the book in Spanish. Supplemental training DVD's are currently being edited and will be made available as soon as possible.
With over 50 years in ministry, Josh continues to find that nothing sabotages faith commitments and spiritual growth of children, teens and college students more than sexual experimentation. Josh produced The Bare Facts campaign in response to pleas for tools on the issues of sex, love and relationships from youth and culture leaders in Latin America, Asia and even Middle Eastern nations. As part of a 45-city speaking tour in 15 countries throughout 2012, McDowell is currently touring Latin America with his Bare Facts campaign.
Well known as an articulate speaker, Josh has addressed more than 10 million young people, giving over 24,000 talks in 118 countries. Since 1960, Josh has written or co-authored 120 books.

Latest Resource With "Mature Content" Warning
Release on: May 24, 2012

Press Release Summary: PLANO, TX: Latest Resource With "Mature Content" Warning.
PLANO, TX, May 24, 2012— Josh McDowell launched provocative but tasteful resources to raise awareness about the threat of online pornography
Josh McDowell, a leading advocate for children and the preservation of the Christian family, has launched Just1ClickAway.org, a new series of provocative but tastefully produced resources that raise awareness about the growing threat of online pornography. Released just in time for summer vacation when students' media consumption significantly increases, the Just1ClickAway.org website, video and articles from McDowell and his network of participating organizations offer solutions for families and individuals of all ages and stages. Josh placed a warning label on the video because of its mature content.
McDowell said, "The greatest threat to the cause of Christ is pervasive sexuality and pornography. Today we have, by and large, lost control of the controls because an intrusive immorality is just one click away from our children. With just one keystroke on a smartphone, iPad, or laptop, a child can open up some of the worst pornography and sexually graphic content you can imagine. There's never been such access in history. "
Just1ClickAway.org contains the latest resources in The Bare Facts, McDowell's biblically based, medically sound and culturally relevant campaign that provides youth and those who influence them with an understanding of love, sexuality and relationships.
Pornography is an equal opportunity intruder in the newly released Just1ClickAway.org video: a young boy on his laptop in the privacy of his bedroom, a father clutching a TV remote in the family room, and a teenage girl on her PDA in the kitchen. Dramatically portrayed as male and female tempters (wearing clothes), pornography aggressively preys on and attacks its victim, virtually in plain view of unsuspecting family members.
The video shares disturbing statistics about the destructive impact of pornography on the Christian family, including:
- More than one-billion pornographic websites are one click away.
- The average age of first-time views of pornography is 9 years old.
- 80 percent of 15-17 year olds have been exposed to hardcore porn.
- The adult pornography industry reports that 20-30 percent of their traffic comes from children.
- Half of all Christian families report that pornography is a problem.
- 68 percent of divorces happen when one partners finds a pornographic lover online.
- And, 30 percent of pastors have viewed pornography in the last 30 days, among others.

Best-Selling Author and International Speaker Josh McDowell Accepts Lifetime Achievement Award at Christian Booksellers Association Annual Conference With Words of Adoration For Dottie, His Wife of 43 Years
ORLANDO, FL, June 28, 2015 — Behind every great man, there is a great woman. Josh McDowell is no exception to this rule.
Today, McDowell, the best-selling author of "More Than A Carpenter" and "New Evidence That Demands a Verdict" who has penned 142 books in 100 languanges since 1960, praised his wife Dottie as the reason for his ministry success, while being honored with the Christian Bookseller Association's (CBA) highest honor—the International Lifetime Achievement Award. It was awarded at opening ceremonies at the annual International Christian Retail Show (ICRS), currently being held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, June 28-July 1.
Dottie, McDowell's beloved wife of 43 years, sat on the front row among a crowd of his industry peers including Duane Zook, Josh McDowell Ministry president. Accepting the plaque from CBA President Curtis Riskey with his name engraved on it, Josh doted on Dottie: "I never knew a woman could love a man so much. God has used my wife, Dottie, to change my life, and I am so grateful!"
In spite of all the honors and awards Josh has received over the years, he consistently tells everyone enthusiastically that his greatest joys and pleasures come from his family. Fittingly, before accepting the award, CBA played a surprise home video produced by and starring McDowell's four children and 10 grandchildren on the jumbo overhead screen. "God has faithfully allowed my ministry, my family and me to share his God-breathed word for more than 50 years," Josh added.
"God-Breathed" is McDowell's most recent book, published by Shiloh Run Press, a division of Barbour Publishing. In conjunction with the launch of "God-Breathed," McDowell will unveil for booksellers and convention attendees his recent acquisition of ancient Egyptian burial fragments that contain some of the earliest recordings of the Bible, dating back between 1600 to 2200 BC, to underscore the reliability of biblical scripture.
CBA President Curtis Riskey bestowed McDowell with the honor, saying, "We see Josh as a pivotal leader for our industry. We are excited to present this special award to Josh this year for his outstanding service and lifelong accomplishment in creating, distributing, and using Christian resources to achieve ministry and further the Gospel around the world." Then, he shared a personal story about when Josh planted a seed of faith in his life while speaking at his college. "I am so thankful Josh came to Oshkosh, WI, and how many more million lives has his ministry touched?"
Barbour Publishing President & CEO Tim Martins said of McDowell's achievement, "We are delighted to partner with Josh McDowell and his ministry during such an important milestone in his prolific ministry. We pray that Josh will continue to touch lives with biblical truth for the Kingdom of God."
Josh McDowell Ministry President Duane Zook said, "Over the past 34 years of serving alongside Josh, I have seen his consistent enthusiasm and passion for letting everyone in the world hear about Jesus. I am thrilled that Josh has received this Lifetime Achievement Award. And I know that this award will motivate him even more to communicate biblical truth, so that there are true followers of Jesus everywhere who live, defend, and share their faith."
Well known as an articulate speaker, Josh has addressed more than 25 million people, giving over 27,000 talks in 125 countries. Among his publishing accomplishments, Josh has distributed more than 27 million copies of his popular More Than A Carpenter, and New Evidence That Demands a Verdict was named one of the twentieth century's top 40 books and one of the thirteen most influential books of the last 50 years on Christian thought by World Magazine. In addition to many other awards, Josh has been nominated 36 times for the Gold Medallion Award and has received that award on four occasions.
As Josh traveled to other countries, he quickly realized that where people were sick, homeless, and hungry, words were not enough. In 1991, Josh founded Operation Carelift, currently known as GAIN, to meet the physical and spiritual needs he discovered in orphanages, hospitals, schools, and prisons in the countries of the former Soviet Union.
As a young man, Josh McDowell considered himself an agnostic. However, when challenged to intellectually examine the claims of Christianity, Josh discovered compelling, overwhelming evidence for the reliability of the Christian faith.
After his conversion, his plans for law school turned instead to plans to tell a doubting world about the truth of Jesus Christ. After studying at Kellogg College, Josh completed his college degree at Wheaton College and then attended Talbot Theological Seminary, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Master of Divinity degree.

ELY, Minn., Jan. 10, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The 20th annual Ely Winter Festival runs from February 1st through the 10th in the northern Minnesota tourist city known for its local beauty and wilderness. The volunteer Board has announced a celebratory, expanded schedule of events with something for all ages and interests taking place over the Festival's 10-day period for 2013: snow sculptures, an historic Voyageur Encampment, a skiing/snowshoeing triathlon, a crafts fair, a dance, several food events, musical concerts, educational programs, and the annual Ely ArtWalk.
The cornerstone of the Festival is the International Snow Sculpting Symposium in the town's Whiteside Park with 20 smaller "amateur" blocks and more than 20 large "expert" blocks, each carved by a team composed of three or more. The Symposium has reached out to all past carvers for an expanded Symposium this year.
"We're all working hard to bring snow to the park," said Chris Ellerbroek, co-director of the Symposium. "There's plenty in the area, it's just a matter of getting it in trucks and filling the forms."
Alongside the carvers in the park is an authentic Voyageur Encampment, with the participants in historic garb camping outside over the three-day weekend.
The downtown area of the town becomes a veritable art gallery, as merchants clear their windows to display local artists' works in the Ely ArtWalk, which runs over the 10 days of the Festival. Over 450 pieces of art by 120 artists were displayed in 2012, and this year expectations are similar.
On Thursday, January 31, 2103, the Ely Steak house hosts the Snow Carver's Jam as local musicians jam in an entertaining evening of music.
Ely Community Resource hosts a Spaghetti Feed on Friday evening, February 1, benefiting local youth and families, followed by an Opening Ceremony Concert, which will include musical entertainment and the "passing of the paddle" to this year's Grand Marshals, Emily Wahlberg and Barb Berglund.
During the day on Saturday, February 2, is the NLAA crafts fair, a fish fry at Veterans-on-the-Lake Resort, and the second annual Boathouse Brewpub Winter Classic Triathlon sponsored by the Nordic Ski Club. The latter involves snowshoeing, skiing and drinking (water, that is!).
Also on Saturday, Vermilion Community College holds an open house, the Dorothy Molter Museum, the Wolf Center and Bear Center are all open for visits, the Ely ArtWalk holds its Artists' Meet and Greet, and Twin Metals Minnesota will be hosting an open house.
Saturday night is the second annual Polar Bear Dance, presented by the Ely Rotary from 8:00 PM to midnight at Amici's Event Center. Raffle items will be available, and proceeds benefit community projects, including the Winter Festival. The dance is an adults-only event.
The Amateur Snow Carving Contest is judged on Sunday morning, February 3.
The second weekend of the Festival is packed with events as well. On Thursday evening, Jerritt Johnson, Director of Education, presents "Wolves as a Political Barometer" at the International Wolf Center. E3 will also present an Energy Symposium talk at Vermilion Community College that night.
On Friday, February 8, the Boundary Waters Blues Fest and Ely TV will host a blues concert at Amici's Event Center. That evening the film about the campaign for clean water, "Sled Dogs to Saint Paul," will be screened at Vermilion College.
For outdoor and history enthusiasts, on Saturday, February 9, Outward Bound guides a group by snowshoe to the Hegman Lake Native American Pictographs (snowshoes are provided). Also on Saturday, the Vermilion Law Enforcement Club hosts in an ice-fishing contest on Shagawa Lake, and the Igloo-Creek Ridge Third Annual Radar Run snowmobile event will be held on White Iron Lake.
Saturday night the Dorothy Molter Museum hosts a fundraising dinner at Grand Ely Lodge. Silent auction and raffles are offered with proceeds benefitting the Museum Foundation.
On Sunday, February 10 at 2:30 p.m. in the Washington Auditorium, the Mesabi Community Orchestra presents a celebration of Nordic music with selections by Nielsen, Sibelius, and Grieg.
Festival pins, T-shirts, beanies, brochures and information will be available during the Festival at their Headquarters, the Front Porch Coffee and Tea Co. on Sheridan Street in Ely.
