Over the past few months, I’ve been introducing you to some of the individuals working behind-the-scenes to keep Answers in Genesis running and reaching people with the message of biblical authority and the gospel during this time. Well, in this blog I’d like to introduce you to our finance, HR, and admin teams.
Our finance team (with support from other AiG teams) has been working hard to ensure we are doing everything we can to cut costs during this time of decreased revenue while our attractions have been closed due to COVID-19 (but the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum open tomorrow, June 8!). They’ve handled payroll and made sure all our vendors are paid. This team has also processed the many donations we receive for the ongoing support of the ministry and the many special donations that have come in to help sustain us during this difficult time (thank you for those donations!).
A huge “thank you” to all of the teams who have worked so hard to keep the ministry running and reaching others during this time.
Our HR team has helped the hundreds of employees we had to temporarily lay off navigate the state and federal rules for unemployment. HR has also kept in touch regarding the time when we can rehire them. As we slowly rehire staff, they are handling that process as well.
Our admin team is still working on-site to process mail (we have a lot of mail that is coming in) and they’ve been key in working with the warehouse team in fulfilling all the online orders we’ve received. They’ve also processed internal communication with different teams.
A huge “thank you” to all of the teams who have worked so hard to keep the ministry running and reaching others during this time.
As we look to the future, we are asking that our supporters continue to stand with us during this challenging time by giving towards the enormous costs of retooling and, once again, building up the ministry. You, our supporters, have been so generous, and we are so thankful for your sacrificial giving. You can donate towards these reopening costs at AnswersinGenesis.org/donate.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
