Fill the Ark

Fill the Ark is a four-week family devotional with a focus on gratitude for our blessings and a generous spirit of giving to our neighbors in need. Each week shares a scripture as the focus for reflection and study. Each day includes information about Heifer’s work, animal gifts, resources and approach. Daily giving challenges bring parents, siblings, grandparents or other family members together to appreciate their abundance and collect change to help struggling families.
