Missions of the Church Andrew's Ark Andrew is a young man who is part of our church family and who has many interests. As part of his 4-H service, he has started Andrew's Ark which he hopes to complete by the end of the year. The ark isn't a real boat but rather a graphic representation in the form of an ark. Andrew is soliciting purchases of animals through Heifer International which are distributed to people throughout the world to help them improve their life by becoming self-sufficient. Each time he receives a contribution of an animal, it is graphically placed in the "ark" until the ark is full. Andrew has created his own web page to explain his project and ask for donations so he can complete his ark. This isn't an official mission of our church, but it is definitely one we would like people to know about. To reach Andrew's page, click here. Habitat for Humanity of East Polk County.
