The John Ankerberg ministries feature a weekly half-hour nationwide television program (USA) whose purpose is to demonstrate that Christianity is true so that our viewers will embrace it for themselves and learn to share it effectively with others.  The formats of choice for this apologetics ministry are informal debates between representatives of differing belief systems, and documentary-styled presentations on major issues in society to which the historic Christian faith has something of consequence to say.  The programs are designed to reach and appeal to a thinking audience of Christians and non-Christians alike.

Coolgardie

Coolgardie is located seven hours drive east of Perth and a forty minute drive south west of Kalgoorlie. The Coolgardie of today has retained many aspects of its rich and colourful history. Its charm and friendliness make it a great town in which to discover the past. Coolgardie is world renowned for two events, the birthplace of the great gold rush of 1892 and Varischetti's amazing mine rescue after nine days trapped in a flooded mine underground. It was once the third largest town in Western Australia with two stock exchanges, three breweries, seven newspapers and 26 hotels.
