On December 8 we visited the replica of Noah's ark that is currently docked in Amsterdam. Terri had visited it a number of years ago while Johan was still building it but this is the first time we have seen it since it was completed. Johan intended it to be a tool for sharing the Lord with people.

The replica is a scaled down model of the ark that Noah built. It is currently docked in Amsterdam.

more elephants

On the top deck of the ark, two more elephants greet the visitors.

birdhouses

The birds needed houses too! These were also filled with food items for the ark's many inhabitants.

empty tomb

Throughout the ark, Johan built scenes from various Bible stories. In this photo, Terri is exiting the empty tomb.
