Rankin's thrill for adventure began at an early age with his discovery of ancient Indian artifacts and a village site. This led to a lifetime of desire to research and seek out history's truths, which later turned to confirming the accuracy of the Bible. Jim married his high-school sweetheart and turned to a life of media, entertainment and celebrities. With radio shows, concert appearances, and meetings with presidents, actors and sports celebrities; Rankin left it behind and turned to a life of ministry. In his presentations to hundreds of churches, colleges, groups, and organizations all over the country, Jim brings excitement and overwhelming evidence to insert life into each and every location. In his full screen presentations, Jim excites the crowds as he moves about in his field gear and provides full visuals with a life-size replica of the Ark of the Covenant, ancient Bibles, pottery fragments, crowns, bowls and other artifacts from his travels. Then, with the wealth of information in just one session, the audience is left overwhelmed and wanting more.
