We are saddened to share the news of our former co-worker and friend Donna Mitchell’s passing. We miss her dearly and are thankful that she is with Jesus now. What a gift it is to have the hope of heaven!

We invite the THE ARK and Rainbow Christian Camp Community to join us for a Celebration of Life Service on Saturday, September 19th. All former staff members, volunteers, campers, and community members who knew Donna are welcome.

The Conference Center will open at 10:45 am. Please join us at 11 am for the service and time of memory sharing, followed by lunch and fellowship. Please RSVP for the meal by calling THE ARK Office at 765-395-3638.

If you have a memory of Donna and can't attend the service, please share it in the comments. Her family would love to hear how she impacted your life.

View Donna Mae Mitchell's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

🎉👏We can't thank our incredible Summer Staff enough! 🎉👏

From plunging toilets to running the high ropes course and everything in between, they served campers, volunteers, and parents so well.

Jesus' light and love shone through their words and actions!

You are loved and will be missed, Summer Staff!

This happened again today. We are not selling shirts online.

We're so sorry if you were tagged in spam comments on our posts! We are working to block/delete/report them all! If you see anything about buying ARK shirts online, please ignore it. It's not from us!

Anyway spent a few summers on staff at THE ARK. We love him and Eden Ministries Inc.

Twenty-five years ago, a young boy named Anyway arrived at Eden with little more than hope and a need for belonging.

Today, he is a husband, a pastor, and a leader who has planted ten churches across Zimbabwe. Along the way, he earned a Master's degree in the United States and returned home to build something lasting.

This is the kind of story that reminds us why we do what we do. Eden is not just a place of rescue. It is a community of restoration where children grow into leaders, and leaders plant seeds of hope that multiply far beyond what we can see.

We are so grateful to walk alongside lives like Anyway's. Thank you for being part of a movement that believes in the long arc of transformation.
