About Us
OUR MINISTRY
In a world where scientific integrity and accountability is lacking, astronomical theories abound which blatantly contradict forensic evidence and fail to adhere to the Biblical account of creation. It is so important, now more than ever, to show people how “The heavens declare the Glory of God” (Psalm 19:1) both visually and scientifically.
Day4 seeks to bring knowledge, evidence, and boldness to Christians so they can use the tools of astronomy to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ right in their own neighborhoods using Biblical discernment.
Join us on the journey to share the truth and love of Christ to those around us as we seek out the heavens God created for our enjoyment!

James Worrell
Director of Faith & Education
James received his bachelor’s degree in geology from the University of Texas in Arlington.
He is passionate about revealing God’s power and majesty through the tools of astronomy. James uses telescopes and the night sky to help build up the faith of the Church. Originally a theistic evolutionist, he discovered his faith in secular opinion and old ages was inconsistent with a biblical worldview. He has since become a biblical creationist and believes there is a great falling away within the church due to professing Christians supporting atheistic evolutionary ideas. James’s hobbies include, hiking, backpacking, and studying ancient civilizations and their historical context to the Bible. James has been married to his wife Rebekah for over 30 years and has three children.
Kerby Anderson
Director of Apologetics
Kerby Anderson is the President of Probe Ministries and host of the Point of View radio talk show.
He holds masters degrees from Yale University (science) and Georgetown University (government). He also serves as a visiting professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and the author of twenty books. Kerby is married to Susanne and the father of three grown children and one grandchild.

Chapters
As Day4 Astronomy grows, our goal is to set up chapters of the ministry around the country. This will allow us to reach more people in more places using astronomy as a platform for sharing the love of Christ!
Day4 Dark Sites
A Day4 Astronomy dark site will be a secure Day4 location free of light pollution that will allow members to maximize celestial viewing. Our goal is to purchase or lease 10-20 acre sites in locations ideal for observation and imaging all night long. Our vision is to set up a number of 10’x10’ concrete pads (some with electrical outlets) spaced about 10 yards apart that will allow enough space for a car, a pitched tent, and ample space for telescope and imaging gear.
Publications
By creating scientific, evidence-based, engaging publications with content supported by scripture, Day4 Astronomy aims to reach as broad an audience as possible right where they are.
Multimedia
Day4 Astronomy aims to use of live and digital multimedia presentations that can be placed in strategic locations in order to reach a broad audience right where they are.
