Evangelization Through The Shroud
Shroud Educational Endeavors Corporation (SEEC) exists to study the Shroud of Turin and share what it reveals — carrying its witness to the world, one conversation, one talk, one community at a time.
Welcome to the Shroud Educational Endeavors Corporation (SEEC) website. SEEC is dedicated to the study and dissemination of knowledge about the Shroud of Turin — a centuries-old linen burial cloth believed by millions to be the actual burial Shroud of Jesus Christ.
SEEC continues in its mission to educate the public about the Shroud of Turin by sponsoring talks around the world. Thank you for visiting, and thank you for your interest in the Shroud of Turin.

An Organization Built Around A Single, Singular Object
The Most Studied Artifact In World History
The image itself is a photographic negative, and contains holographic, X-ray, and three-dimensional qualities. It remains the most studied artifact in world history — and yet the process by which the image was formed is still an elusive mystery.

Guy Powell Reaches Thousands Bangladesh
The trip was made possible through SEEC and the generosity of individual donors. The purpose of the trip was to equip pastors to carry the message of the Shroud back to their congregations, to strengthen faith and draw new believers into the fold. Guy spent seven days on the ground, meeting daily with a different group of about 30 pastors. In total, he preached to about 210 pastors representing over 2,000 to 3,000 believers.
Otangelo Grasso provided the presentation materials that were converted into about 20 banners — which turned out to be essential, since most locations couldn’t project a PowerPoint presentation, and electricity was too unstable to keep power running during sessions. What resonated most with the pastors was the connection between the Old Testament (Isaiah 53), the New Testament, and the “Fifth Gospel” (the Shroud), paired with the scientific evidence of the Shroud’s authenticity.
Most of the pastors were MBBs — Muslim Background Believers, converted from Islam to Christ. Christian persecution is rampant in this 96% Muslim country, and every pastor had a story of violence against them personally or against their property.
These believers are true warriors for the faith, and God blesses them daily. Please pray for this mission and donations for more trips and materials are appreciated.

Janis Winchester Presents the Shroud to Hundreds in Sofia, Bulgaria
SEEC sponsored the airfare for Janis Winchester to travel to Sophia, Bulgaria, May 29, 2026 to present at the International Association of Forensic Sciences.
About 2,000 people registered for the conference. Janis presented her display poster for about 4.5 hours to approximately 200 scientists. One of her key points was that someone put an item under the chin of The Man of the Shroud before the burial cloth placement was finalized. This digital imaging proves that the Shroud of Turin could not be a medieval copy given this unique finding along with other evidence.
Two other important findings from this travel that supports the Shroud of Turin, are the historical, the Pantocrator frescos, and literary, the Pray Codex.
The Pantocrator frescos are found in churches in both Sophia, Bulgaria, and Budapest, Hungary that were built prior to the dating results from the Carbon 14 testing. The importance of these paintings indicates that the painter had the availability to see the original of the Shroud, from about the fifth century.
The Pray Codex, located at the National Széchényi Library, Budapest, Hungary contains hand-drawn illustrations that show the Shroud in detail. The specifics indicate that the Shroud was known before 1192. This too, is prior to the Carbon 14 dating results. The Carbon 14 testing ignored the historical, literary, scientific, and Biblical- Scriptural facts.
