The Father's Refuge

06/22/2026

We’re almost there! 🙌🎉

One last module to drop into place — and next week the real work begins. We’re gutting and transforming this building into the classrooms of Ark Discovery Institute, opening August 19th!

What you’re seeing isn’t just a modular building on a field. It’s an answered prayer taking shape.

But we can’t do this without YOU. It takes a village to build something that will shape children for generations — and we need people willing to stand with us.

👉 Become a monthly partner — even $25/month moves the mission forward

Every dollar. Every prayer. Every share matters.
