You Can Help Us Expand the Ark Encounter and Double Your Impact!

Once again, we are excited to announce that a family foundation has stepped forward to offer a matching gift opportunity toward our end-of-year campaign this year—up to $10 million! What a blessing!

These expansion initiatives aim to impact and bring more guests to the evangelistic Ark Encounter. These include the addition of two major exhibits and expansion/infrastructure activities in preparation for future, family-friendly attractions at the Ark that will cater to younger audiences. The two new major exhibits will feature artifacts on loan from the Israel Antiquities Authority. This expansion includes:

Megiddo Mosaic

This nearly 1,800-year-old mosaic floor, excavated from a prison in Megiddo, Israel, is the oldest archaeological find (outside of manuscripts) proclaiming that Jesus is God. Combined with other artifacts, videos, and life-size figures to be displayed in a new traveling exhibit area in the Answers Center, this highly popular exhibit will draw additional guests to see this incredible piece of evidence for biblical history.

Israel Antiquities Authority Artifacts Room

Over 100 authentic artifacts from Israel’s Second Temple period (approximately 516 BC–AD 70) will be on display in a special room (currently unfinished) in our upcoming first-century Jerusalem model building. These artifacts will provide further context to the model and give guests an opportunity to see items made and used in Israel during the time the model depicts.

We are so grateful for this opportunity to fully fund these projects. Each gift is matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10 million through the end of the year.
