Abstract
When Tom Short first trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior, his mentor asked him, "If you could do anything, and you knew you wouldn't fail, what would you do?" Tom immediately knew the answer. He wanted to travel to colleges around the US sharing the truth about creation and the gospel. He started by planting a student church at the University of Maryland in 1980. Then, taking his cue from the book of Acts, he began preaching in public places, and he has visited over 100 campuses throughout the US and Europe. Today, Tom's preaching has blossomed into a ministry, Truth on Display. Tom sets up large, apologetics-oriented banners on campus in high-traffic areas. The banners address creation, the existence of God, and the reliability of the Bible, and they present Jesus as the only way to come to God the Father. Then, for five or six hours each day, he speaks with students who stop to look at them.
