Answers in Genesis president Ken Ham is currently soliciting donations to construct a full-sized replica of the biblical Noah’s Ark. While the concept is intriguing, the price tag is not. The current estimate is $24.5 million.
In contrast, over 70% of Afghans live on less than $2 per day.
For the same price, donors could feed 33,561 people in Afghanistan for an entire year.
Noah’s Ark=good. Noah’s Ark replica=not good.
Jesus said, “Be generous to the poor” (Luke 11:41, NIV). Enough said.
To help a place really making a difference among those in need, here are some suggestions:
Children’s Rescue Initiative
Compassion
Rice Bowls
World Vision
