Ministry Update: Baseball, the Ark Encounter, and Outreach

The Ark Encounter sponsored Faith Day for the Cincinnati Reds, our local MLB team. The Reds played the Tampa Bay Rays (and won the game). To help spread the word about our attractions to locals, along with those traveling from outside the area, we sponsored a special day of “faith, family, and fastballs,” including:

• A team of volunteers (including some of the children of our staff—they had a great time) handing out all sorts of goodies to people as they came into the stadium
• Various ads playing on the big screens during the game
• Our Ark Encounter resident artists, TrueSong, singing the national anthem (they were fantastic)
• An opportunity at the end of the game for me to promote the Ark and then for a number of the players to share their Christian faith

It was a very impactful day, and we pray the impact will continue with the resources and other items handed out and the exposure so many people had to the Ark Encounter, which is just south of Cincinnati.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
