The Kids’ Ark is a 501 (c) 3, non-profit organization and is published by a husband and wife team in Victoria, Texas. The magazine is not affiliated with any particular church. We believe in the Bible literally as the true inspired word written by God. Jim and Violette Burger have attended and served at Faith Family Church in Victoria, Texas for 16 years.

We are also posting the magazine on the internet as an e-zine specifically for ministering to kids in foreign countries.

Our whole purpose is to enlighten children with the love and power of God through Jesus Christ. We believe that God wants the best for His children and that through a faith and knowledge of Him, we can be all that He has called us to be. We feel that only through Christ can children withstand the temptations and trials that they are being exposed to in these times.
