B.J. and Diana Kresnye of Begin Ministries recently shared their creation apologetics message with Grace Bible Fellowship in Gainesville,GA.
B.J.'s presentation was concise and filled with grace. What was so unique was how he showed the relation of the Apostle Paul's ministry to the creation and fall of man in the book of Genesis. Romans 5:12-19 were used to show how foundational Genesis chapter 3 was for Paul to preach the fall of Adam through sin and how the second Adam (Christ), through grace, can redeem a person from the curse of sin.
I highly recommend inviting B.J. and Diana to share their passion for this truth of God's word with you.

It is with great enthusiasm that we endorse the insightful teaching of Begin Ministries. Their presentations combine the best of creation apologetics and mid-acts dispensationalism in a unique way that is edifying to the hearer. Our congregation and online audience enjoyed their content rich teaching delivered in an engaging and interesting style. If you are looking for a strong defense of creationism from a scripturally sound dispensational perspective, look no further than Begin Ministries.David Reid

BJ and Diana Kresnye of Begin Ministries visited our church on two occasions in 2022. For the first message, BJ focused on how important apologetics is, how we must stand firm for the foundations of the Scripture, for "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3). He then proceeded to show how the Apostle Paul's doctrines rest firmly upon the foundations laid in Genesis, such as how Romans 5 takes the need for salvation all the way back to Adam in the Garden. Thus, if the beginning is corrupted, so too is the gospel itself and our entire faith crumbles.
The second message was during the Christmas season and BJ traced the Scriptures to show how Satan has tried to crush the promised seed of the woman mentioned in Genesis Chapter Three, our Lord Jesus Christ. This was truly one of the most fascinating sermon topics I've ever heard. I thank the Lord for Begin Ministries and I recommend having the Kresnyes come visit your church to get your assembly thinking about the foundations of their faith!

It was our privilege to host B.J. (Ben) and Diana Kresnye from Begin Ministries. Our church was beginning a through the Bible summary summer series based on the works of Dr. Harold Wilmington. B.J. and Diana did an excellent job of opening up our understanding as it relates to the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis. Their presentation sought to equip the believer in both apologetic and evangelistic areas. This tag team and often scripted approach was informative, challenging, and entertaining. Their obvious grasp of the biblical subjects and respect for the Word of God were quite clear and helpful. Visuals and handouts were plentiful.
B.J. and Diana came to us with hearts for ministry. Their overriding desire was to elevate the Scriptures and bring honor to the Lord. The heart of a servant was evident in each of their lives. It is my joy to recommend them to you.
