“The
Kids’ Ark”
began as a dream – a dream of what a children’s magazine should
be, a 
Bible-based,
interactive magazine. That dream became a reality with the
first issue print of 20,000 copies.
Geared for children ages 6-12, this
is a 32-page, full-color, Quarterly magazine.
“The Kids’ Ark” is designed to fight the flood of
negative influences and peer pressure that threatens to drown
our children by offering a viable alternative full of the
truth about God’s love.
Founders,
husband and wife team, Jim and Violette Burger in Victoria,
Texas, believe that reading good, wholesome literature educates
children, sparks creativity, uplifts their ambitions, and
helps build self esteem. What makes
“The Kids’ Ark” different is that every issue contains
The Ten Commandments and the Prayer of Salvation.”

Mission Statement:
