I am excited about my new video in the Amazing Adventures series, called Extreme Caving, which will have its debut on June 14 at the Creation Museum. That event will be a family fun night with dinner, the showing of my new DVD, and some special guests talking about bats. It sounds like this will be a really enjoyable evening, and I hope you will join me. Check out further details on this museum blog post.

I will also be doing an overnight caving adventure at Cumberland Caverns on August 10, which includes hiking, camping, and performing a live concert inside the cave! Details for this unique event can be found on the members section of the Creation Museum website.

Another thing I have been working on is a new dinosaur sculpture for the museum—this one is of a Kentrosaurus. Right now I am working on the plates and horns and soon will be starting the skin texture. It should be finished before the end of May and will go in the Dinosaur Den area.

I have been speaking at various events in between my weeks at the museum, and I am working on a new children’s book with my daughter, Lydia. We just learned last week that it will be published, and we are so happy about that! It will be a series called “Creation Quest.” The first book will introduce the characters and take you on quite an adventure deep inside a cave. I will keep you posted on its progress, and we are hoping to have it available at the debut of the Extreme Caving DVD.

I teamed up with Dan Breeding in August for a wild animal encounter. Dan is an expert in handling wild critters. I sang some songs and helped Dan with the animals in our program. Our show was well attended at the museum. We are scheduled to do it again next summer. We may even take it on the road.

I just finished a conference in Hamburg, New York. Next I’ll go to Duluth, Minnesota, to do a wild game dinner, and I will be back at the museum the next week.

On October 5, I will be doing a special concert for married couples who are celebrating 40 years together. They are calling the event “Legacy of Love.” It also includes a dinner.

Our newest DVD, Swamp Man!, is doing very well. I’m so excited about this series. Each DVD also comes with an 11 x 17 inch poster of the cover. This DVD is approx. 45 minutes long.

It also has an animated cartoon of me singing a song called, “Don’t Go Down Nightmare Pass.” The cartoon is based on a true story of when Kay and I kayaked 100 miles by ourselves through the Florida Everglades. Swamp Man! has another song included as well called, “The Lord Made Me To Be A Swamp Man.” We recorded this song in a Cajun style. What fun! There are many behind-the-scenes bonus features as well.

Swamp Man! is a family show I believe you will enjoy. It is a part of our series called Buddy’s Amazing Adventures.

We’re now getting geared up to start filming our third show, which will be about Caving. We’ll be traveling to several different caves in different states. It will be another exciting family show. I can’t wait to get started.

Our newest CD is themed on Noah, the Ark and the Flood. Since our ministries, AiG and the Creation Museum, are building a full scale model of Noah’s Ark, I was inspired to write 12 new songs on this subject. The songs are full of teaching about these events. Music is a great tool that our Creator has given us to share His good news.

There are even plans for us to bring out a songbook that goes along with the new CD, Noah Believed. The songbook will have guitar chords and piano music. I’ve included a brief description of scripture references and why I wrote each song.

Since I searched for Noah’s Ark myself, there will be a short story of my adventure on top of Mt. Ararat, one of the largest mountains in the world. Also included in the songbook will be my personal testimony. I sometimes give my testimony at AiG events. Many times I’ve been asked if it is available, so I wanted to include it in the songbook.

I will be traveling to do a sharathon for KGLE radio station in Glendive, Montana, in October. I’ll be there two days on radio from 6:00 am till 6:00 p.m. I will also be doing a concert in Glendive.

Our dinosaur dig went great this year! Thanks to Otis Kline and the Creation Museum for making this possible. We found some amazing fossils of T. Rex, the super star of the Dinosaurs. I hope someday you can join us on a dinosaur dig in the Badlands of Montana.

It was great to have my good friend, Joe Taylor, on the dig with us. Joe is an expert and I appreciate his willingness to help our team this year. I’m sure I could add much more but I’ll save it for later. Again, thanks for stopping by.

To God be the Glory for ever and ever.

We were excited to learn this past week that our Amazing Adventures DVD, I Dig Dinosaurs, won a silver and bronze crown award from the International Christian Visual Media. This organization is the primary and most respected trade association for Christian professionals involved in film and video production.

I want to thank Ben Wilt and his team of Answers in Genesis staff, and all who helped make this DVD possible. This makes a total of four awards that I Dig Dinosaurs has received.

Our new show, Swamp Man, which is the second in the “Amazing Adventures with Buddy Davis” series, was released about a week ago. We had a lot of fun making it and have already received some great feedback from it.

Here are a couple of endorsements we received:

Buddy Davis comes across as a friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, fun-loving, God-loving swamp-man, who loves life with a passion. I found myself asking, ‘Man, is there anything this guy can’t do?’ I learned a lot from the video: Always check your sleeping bag for snakes, don’t swing on vines if you’re over 40, and stay away from the Everglades.
– Ray Comfort (Way of the Master Ministry)

I’ve lived only a few miles from the Florida Everglades for years now, yet I learned more about them from Buddy Davis in this video than I’ve learned from living here! Buddy is an able and affable guide, and your entire family will enjoy being led by the “Swamp Man” on this tour of one of the most fascinating theaters of God’s creative glory in the world.
– John Rabe, co-host of Cross Examine and producer, Truth in Action Ministries (formerly Coral Ridge Ministries).

We are getting ready to begin working on our third DVD, which will be about caves. It’s going to be a lot of fun!

This past month I released a new CD, Noah Believed. All of the songs are themed on Noah. I am sure these songs will be used for multiple teaching events on Noah and the Flood.

Come and join Dan Breeding and me for a great adventure this week (August 6–11) at the Creation Museum. We have two shows, one at noon and one at 3:00 PM on Monday through Saturday. It will be a lot of fun for the entire family, so come and experience the wild animal encounter.

I hope you are having a great summer—and don’t forget to check out my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/aigbuddydavis.

Doing the filming was really cool and also a lot of hard work. One day we used an airboat, and another day we went kayaking in the Everglades wilderness. We also got to do some close work with dolphins and manatees. It was strange coming home from warm southern Florida to snowy Ohio. We’re not finished with the DVD yet, as we still have to complete the opening and closing, a ton of editing, and sound tracks, etc. We have gotten a lot accomplished though, and we’re excited about it. The entire Media Team at Answers in Genesis is extremely gifted, and we are happy to get to work with them.

This fall, we also got two horses. We spent a lot of time putting up fence and getting the barn ready for them. The horses are green broke, but still need work, lots of love, and handling to fully gain their trust.

We are really excited that my song, “Singing with the Saints” (from the CD, I Am Not Ashamed), hit the Inspirational Country Charts, and is Number 22 in the nation. We just released, “The Bible Is A Gold Mine” (from the Soar CD) as our second national radio release. We are thrilled at the response and give God all the glory.

Thanks to all of you who prayed for our ministry! We appreciate you very much. We hope you have a Happy New Year and a great 2012. You can find out more about what we’re up to if you check out our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/aigbuddydavis.

I was a guest on a video series, Samuel L. Collins and the Search for Biblical Truths, that was filmed at the Creation Museum. I had a lot of fun working with the cast and crew. Here is a photo of one of the scenes in the Garden of Eden room at the museum. We also filmed in the dinosaur den and many other rooms in the museum. It took two days to complete all of our part of the filming.

My song “Singing with the Saints” on the “I Am Not Ashamed” CD is in the national charts on Inspiration Country.

I am getting ready to film the next Buddy’s Amazing Adventures DVD on the Florida Everglades. Check out our first DVD in the series, I Dig Dinosaurs—filmed on a real dinosaur dig in Montana. It is a DVD you can enjoy with the whole family.

This week I am at the museum doing the “African Animal Adventure” workshop and a music concert Monday through Friday.

Going to the dig site

Hard at work

Another dig site

Taking some overburden off

Last week, I did 11 concerts, five workshops, and two family dinosaur tours at the museum. I was home for one day and then I flew to Montana to start our second Dinosaur Dig.

I work in conjunction with the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum. We are praying for good weather this week. If it rains in the badlands, the slopes are too slippery to climb to get to the dig site.

I have also been busy writing new music and working on the script for our new show. I was very happy to see my newest DVD, I Dig Dinosaurs on the shelf of the bookstore. It is a family show and covers lots of information about digging up dinosaur bones. It is also full of information with facts on dinosaurs from a biblical point of view. We did it in a fun way, and this is the pilot show for 13 episodes. The next DVD will be on life in the swamp.

My newest DVD!

Here at the Creation Museum, I have started my new African Animal Adventure workshop. It includes teaching about God’s design of African animals, drawing a cartoon lion, and sculpting a realistic African elephant head. At 3:00, I do a music concert for the museum guests.

I am gone on the weekends, but you can check my schedule when I am at the events page of the Creation Museum website.

I have also started a Face book page. Every day, I include a scripture verse and feature an animal as well as updates on what I am doing. Check it out at www.facebook.com/ aigbuddydavis.

We got to meet friends from years past, and make some new friends as well. Dr. John Whitcomb and his wife, Norma, were speaking at the World of Life Bible Institute. It was a real treat for us to see them again—they are special people. During the second day there, I gave my talk, “Dinosaurs—Separating Fact from Fiction” to the entire group. In the evening, I did an hour-long music concert with songs from my two new CDs, “Come on Aboard” and “I Am Not Ashamed.” I also included some of my popular songs, such as “SOAR,” “Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty” and of course, “Billions of Dead Things.”

The next day, I did a children’s workshop with about 60 children, teaching them about Pterosaurs and how to defend their faith. I showed the children how to sculpture a pterodactyl head which they loved to do. We had a great time in the workshop.

During our free afternoons, we traveled to Lake Placid, New York, and also took a ferry across Lake Champlain to Vermont. The trees were in their peak fall colors and the weather was beautiful.

After Schroon Lake, I traveled to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to Calvary Chapel with Ken, Dr. Menton, and Dr. Lisle. I did four sessions with about 1,000 children during their Sunday school hour. I spoke on dinosaurs, teaching the kids how to defend their faith on this issue. Dinosaurs are used by evolutionists more than any other animal to try to pull children away from God’s Word. On Sunday evening, I did a mini-concert for the entire congregation. I did songs from my newest CDs, including “Already Gone.” On Monday, Ken and I did a children’s session. I taught the children some of my songs and brought out my pet dinosaur, Levi. I also brought along a fire-breathing dragon and some other visual props.

I am getting ready to go on a missions trip to Kenya, Africa, in a couple of days. I will be there until November 18, speaking and doing classes at the Rift Valley Academy, which is the largest Christian school in Africa. I will also be working with three orphanages. Please pray for our trip that God will use my words to bring people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

I just got back from speaking Sunday through Wednesday in Niles, Ohio. We’ve been to Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio during the past few weekends doing ministry.

In the first part of April, we went to Okeefenokee Swamp in southern Georgia with 12 others from the Creation Museum. We canoed for three days through the swamp and spent two nights camping out on wooden platforms built to hold about 14 people! We canoed a total of 32 miles through beautiful waterways lined with cypress trees. We are going to offer this trip through the Creation Museum. It was a lot of fun!

In July, I’m going to be on a dinosaur dig in Montana sponsored by the Creation Museum. The museum has a lot of programs and exciting trips planned. Keep checking the website!
