Hot Off the Press: We Thank the Lord for the Release of the Latest Volume in the Jonathan Park Adventure Series

After many months of hard work on the part of our team with the Jonathan Park Radio Adventure Series, I am pleased to report that our latest release has arrived, and we believe it is sure to be an all-time favorite for Jonathan Park fans around the world. In the great tradition of the past four volumes, Volume 5: The Explorers Society is filled with fabulous adventure, inspiring stories of Christian families acting in defense of God’s great Creation message, and delightful lessons from the world of science and Scripture. The Explorer’s Society takes listeners on an exhilarating journey around the world, combining family adventure with faith-defending advances in creation science.

The Story

After their hunt for the Beowulf manuscript, the Creation Response Team (CRT — learn about their founding and adventures in Volume IV) is running low on funding, and they decide that they can afford one last mission to the Niagara Falls to make a creationist video. That’s when they run into the Explorer’s Society — a team of evolutionary scientists famous for its cutting-edge discoveries dating back to 1850. As these two teams clash over worldviews, producer Duane Gibbons sees an opportunity for an exciting new TV show. The Parks and Brennans, after much prayer, realize that God has granted them this opportunity to reach millions with the creation message and will provide the CRT with the funding they need to continue sharing the message and good news of Jesus Christ.

Competing against one another on the new TV hit, Battle of the Worldviews, the CRT and Explorer’s Society present their opposing worldviews in real-life battlegrounds around the world — at Niagara Falls, in the Canadian wilderness, in the freezing Arctic on Ellesmere Island, in a German dinosaur graveyard, and on Mount Saint Helens. Live the adventure as both teams battle it out and struggle through friendships that will change lives forever, with exciting twists, dangerous intrigues and remarkable discoveries along the way!

How Families Have Been Encouraged in Their Faith

Following are a few encouraging comments we have received from listeners about The Jonathan Park Creation Radio Adventure series:

Jonathan Park [is] my favorite audio production ever!! Sometimes I will listen to the same episode about five times in a row without even getting tired of it... And I will also continue to spread the creation message. In fact, I’m beginning to write a book about evolution and how it just doesn’t make sense!
—David M. (age 12)
I appreciate all of the research, rehearsal, and just plain hard work and time that must go into each episode. As I went to public school as a child, my science explanations are lacking. Jonathan Park is a wonderful tool for parents like me.
—Elizabeth H. (Parent)
We had a home-schooled group come in to our studio and do an educational tour on radio broadcasting. When we discussed their favorite program, the overwhelming majority said Jonathan Park, even above Odyssey. Congrats! You’re really reaching kids with your program!!
—Micah H. (Radio Station Manager)
I listen to Jonathan and the rest of the crew all the time! I am a Christian teenager who adores creation. I am always sharing the cool facts from your stories to my parents and my four siblings. After listening to your shows I decided I want to be a Creation Scientist just like Dr. Park. Keep up the awesome work!!
—Kelsey H. (Teen)

Special Thanks to Our Cast, Crew, and Team

Producing Jonathan Park is no small task. It requires a team of hard-working, creative, and artistic individuals who are dedicated first and foremost to promoting the Genesis creation account.

While the Jonathan Park adventures always start with Pat and Sandy Roy, they also have a talented cast, crew, and production team who bring each episode to life. Over fifty actors and voices played a part in the production of The Explorer’s Society. Vision Forum is thankful for their labors with us.

Under the guidance of our managing producers/script writers Pat and Sandy Roy, the team has produced the best volume of Jonathan Park episodes yet released! The entire Vision Forum staff is grateful for the incredible hard work, sacrifice, and unity demonstrated by the cast and crew. May God continue to use this production throughout the world in a powerful way, giving glory to the King and Maker of the Universe.

Managing Producers/Script Writers, Pat and Sandy Roy

We have been amazed at the Lord’s goodness to allow us to be a part of this project! Our desire is to see Christian families built up in their faith and to provide tools to challenge non-Christians in their faith in evolution! It has been a dream come true for us to be a part of reaching people around the world with the message of the Creator! —Pat Roy

More than a Radio Drama — Real Life Adventures!

Jonathan Park is much more than a radio drama. It is a complete package of teaching tools. And Jonathan Park is the only radio drama that provides your family with a way to actually get out and participate in the adventure — rather than just hear it! Did you know that for each episode we also provide the biblical and scientific background for the story, real adventure activities in which you and your family can participate, and accompanying devotionals? You can turn each episode of Jonathan Park into a comprehensive tool to teach your children valuable eternal lessons. Here’s how:

  1. Listen to an episode of Jonathan Park.

  2. After you have finished listening to an adventure, discuss what you learned with your children.

  3. Next, use the scripture reference listed in the accompanying study guide’s table of contents to discuss the biblical aspects of the story. (A study guide comes free with each purchase of a Jonathan Park album. Study guides can also be downloaded for free at the Jonathan Park Web site.)

  4. Now teach the scientific discoveries on which the episode was based. Simply turn to the chapter of the study guide corresponding to that specific episode. There, we present all of the real scientific discoveries, facts, and background for our story. This information is based on the work of hundreds of creation scientists around the world.

  5. We don’t just want your family to listen to the adventure; we want you to live it! For each episode of Jonathan Park, you and your family can enjoy similar real-life adventures (more coming soon). Ideas on these adventures are posted on the Jonathan Park Web site. We hope that these “real adventures” are a helpful resource for your family.

  6. And finally, we suggest ending with a family devotion. Each episode of Jonathan Park not only teaches scientific evidence for our faith, but promotes important biblical lessons. You will find a link for these devotions on the adventure pages for each specific adventure!

We hope you, too, will use the Jonathan Park project to its fullest potential to strengthen your family’s walk with Christ!

Remember, this is our Father’s world — God created it, we can explore it, so live the adventure!
