Noah Has Come to Town

Well actually a man here in the Netherlands has built a 1/8th scale model of Noah's Ark. He built it himself with the aid of his sons, hmmmm sounds familiar, though he did use some power tools.














We heard about it and since we find lots of time on our hands and not much to do on weekends, we headed out to check it out.













We heard he had models of animals in it and it was set up as the man envisioned Noah's ark to be outfitted and we found that was true.










There were animals in stalls, barrels and bags of provisions and even living and sleeping quarters for Noah and family, but there was much more. There were videos playing which were giving the case for creationism, there was a coloring area for the young children and everywhere the message of evangelism, including a cross and the tomb and the importance of those two things to the world. This man has poured his life's savings, borrowed heavily, and spent decades of his life putting together this floating messenger of God. It isn't often you see that kind of zeal for the Lord in Europe.

Or anywhere for that matter.
