Apologetics and C.A.R.E. Ministries
The word apologetics comes from the Greek, Apologia, and may be translated defense. The Christian apologist defends his faith in a biblical worldview by presenting scientific, historic and philosophical evidences.
C.A.R.E. (Christian Apologetics Research & Evangelism) is a Winnipeg-based, non-profit outreach whose mission is to spread the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, and to encourage its acceptance through apologetics-focused evangelistic outreach efforts.
Defining the Faith
Christians believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. This remarkable book teaches that about 6,000 years ago, God created the universe, creating humans - male and female - as the apex of His creative work. What God made was "very good" Genesis 1:31. There was no suffering, no death.
A short time after the creation week, our first human parents willingly rebelled (sinned) against their creator and the consequence was death and decay. Every human being from that time until now was sentenced to eternal separation from God because of our inherent rebellious nature.
The good news (the gospel) is that 2,000 years ago, God came clothed in human flesh and paid for our sins with His own blood. Reconciliation with our heavenly Father is as near as acknowledging that we are sinners in need of God's forgiveness.

Defending the Faith
Many in Winnipeg have been duped into believing that science has somehow disproved the Bible, prompting a refusal to seriously consider the claims of this wonderful book. Others have been lead to believe that all truth claims are equally valid and therefore must reject the Gospel message that Jesus Christ is mankind's only salvation. In spite of this, God remains faithful, and has graciously furnished us with a plethora of compelling scientific, historic, and philosophical evidences for the Bible's claims.
C.A.R.E.'s mandate is to address the stumbling blocks to faith. Evolution, empiricism, atheism, agnosticism, post-modernism, other religious worldviews, cults and the occult, are some of the topics addressed by C.A.R.E. team members in exciting and eye opening multi-media presentations and internet articles. Our outreach has already served to strengthen the faith and witness of Christians throughout Canada and the U.S., while giving non-Christians compelling reasons to accept Christ's wonderful invitation.
