Welcome Aboard “The Kids’ Ark” … The Adventure Begins

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 24-page, full-color, Quarterly magazine. “The Kids’ Ark” is designed to fight the flood of negative media 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 Plan of Salvation.”

The Kids’ Ark features include:

  • “I Am...” – highlighting a different animal from the original Ark each Quarter accompanied by a story that shares interesting characteristics and traits about the animal.

  • “Living a Life for God” – feature article, focusing each Quarter on a child or adult who has decided to make a difference in their world by the example that they set and the life that they lead.

  • Puzzles and Games – including “Seek & Ye Shall Find” hidden pictures, “Cully the Covert Mouse” mazes, and “Life on the Ark” word searches.

  • “Dear Noah” – real-life questions asked by kids and answered each Quarter by an expert in matters that deal with children.

  • A monthly Give Away contest of $100.00.

  • Feature Articles written about kids and everyday life experiences with a twist on how God can turn hurts and sorrows into joys and victories.

His friends and business associates know Jim Burger, the magazine’s founder and publisher, as a “former and present kid.” Having overcome a lifestyle of drugs and alcohol, Jim now serves as the Director of Men’s Ministry in his local church, and is able to see how the problems of adulthood are rooted in childhood difficulties.

Violette Burger, the magazine’s sales and subscriptions executive has an extensive sales background. She has repeatedly proven herself as an expert salesperson and has a unique combination of drive and personality that has made her a success working for both local and national companies.

Graduates of Destiny Bible Institute, Jim and Violette have served faithfully as leaders at Faith Family Church in Victoria, Texas for the past 14 years in such areas as: Pray Partners, Men’s Ministry, Greeters, Small Group Ministries and Children's Church. Their contagious enthusiasm and sense of humor enables them to lead others in significant ministry.

An Advisory Board of educators, literary and graphic experts and spiritual leaders has been formed to guarantee that each issue of “The Kids’ Ark” fulfills the original vision of the founders to provide children with an encouraging source of educational, Bible-based fun.

 “Not only are individual subscriptions available at $20, but the Lord has directed us to give away the magazine, free, to kids that are in foster care, orphanages and children who need to hear the truth of Gods love for them. We do this by getting donations from business leaders, individuals and foundations. Children’s groups and organizations across America, such as Lutheran Social Services of the South, (15 cities in Texas), South Texas Children’s Home, Star of Hope in Houston, TX., Christian Assistance Ministries in Victoria and San Antonio, TX., YMCA in Victoria, San Antonio and Houston, TX., Aldine Youth in Houston, TX., ( Ministers to children of incarcerated men & women), Texas Pythian Home in Weatherford, TX., and His House Children’s Home in Opa Locka, FL. have been thrilled at the possibility of receiving these magazines for their children”.
