“In a time of rapid societal changes, Christian faith no longer holds significance for many people. The Christian Culture Park has the opportunity to show people the connections between biblical statements and modern scientific findings, thereby bringing them closer to Jesus Christ and His saving Gospel.”

“The \”Christian Culture Park\” is an extraordinary project that impressively connects faith, culture, and nature. Here, a place is emerging (hopefully soon) where people can pause, marvel, and perceive creation anew — not as a mere backdrop, but as a living ambassador of the Christian faith. In a time often characterized by alienation and fragmentation, the Christian Culture Park sets a comforting sign: It opens spaces for encounters, reflection, and wonder — and reminds us that nature itself speaks a language that can reach our hearts, if we listen to it with an open heart. This project deserves my full support!”

“Many people in today’s world are searching for orientation, truth, and stability in life. In Jesus Christ, truth visibly came to us humans on this earth. The Christian Culture Park, and especially the Ark, will surely be a wonderful place to bring searching people closer to the truth, the right path, and God’s creation in all its splendor. I have already visited the Ark in Kentucky / USA and was completely thrilled by it.”

“I would be pleased if a scientifically oriented exhibition were created in this park, highlighting the mutually supportive connections between science and biblical faith.”

“The Christian Culture Park would be a great enrichment for many people. In a relaxed atmosphere, visitors can experience the Bible and Christian history in a completely new, modern, and technically innovative way. As the author of the book “Jasmin Schwiede – Have No Fear” I know how important it is to reach people with the truth in an authentic way. That is exactly what this Culture Park can achieve: It connects faith, history, and modern presentation in such a way that hearts are touched and horizons are opened. I would be very pleased if this project comes to life, because it inspires people, connects them, and gives them a completely new access to faith and history. And all of this to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

“In a time like ours, the ongoing witness of God and the Son of God, Jesus Christ the Savior, is more important than ever. Noah’s Ark was built about 4,000 years ago by Noah to save people from God’s judgment. During the 100 years of construction, the Ark stood as a constantly growing monument. I think we are again in such a time, as back then, where it is important to see a great, outstanding witness of God and to experience God’s will that many more people trust Jesus and are saved. In addition, the Christian Culture Park is intended to provide information and education about the Bible and the creation story. This project fits very well into our time right now. I wish for it to succeed and pray that the necessary resources and support come together.”

“I support the Christian Culture Park because I believe that the Bible and Christian values are just as important in our time as they were before. Furthermore, I am convinced that the Christian Culture Park is a wonderful starting point to encourage people in our current, seemingly hopeless time of wars and crises to reflect on the transience of the earthly and the significance of the eternal.”

“In one of my very first interviews 52 years ago, Otto von Habsburg told me: ‘Europe can only be had under the cross — or not at all!’ The Christian Culture Park aims to convey this message on a scientifically sound basis, which is why it has my full support.”
Dr. Peter Borger

“In 2001, I read the ‘Journal of Creation’ in Sydney. These were articles showing that biblical stories can be regarded as facts. There is much evidence for creation, for a global flood, and for the Bible being the true history of mankind. I then began to look at biology from the perspective of creation and realized that this approach made much more sense than looking at it from the perspective of blind materialistic processes. Everything is controlled and regulated by forces and laws over which we have no influence. Molecular biology, my field of expertise, is the best proof of God! In 2003, I became a follower of Jesus and a staunch advocate of truthful scientific knowledge. Twenty years later, Ralf Kiefer presented me with the draft for the ‘Christian Culture Park.’ Given the lack of knowledge about the origins of our own European Christian culture, who we are as human beings, and where we come from, I support this project with all my heart. This project will reflect the latest state of science and exalts the only one worthy of praise, the Creator of the universe, as described in the Bible.”

“A Christian culture park is a very valuable project, especially for children and young people. The vivid and life-like presentation of biblical content makes it possible not only to understand faith theoretically but to experience it with all the senses. Especially young people can gain a lasting impression in this way and find a new approach to biblical stories. Such places are important for conveying values and passing on faith in an understandable and impressive way.”

“During my travels, I visited the Ark in Kentucky and was impressed by the mighty vessel that Noah built at God’s command. The Ark signified salvation from God’s judgment; it is a wonderful reference to Jesus Christ, who came into this world to redeem people from sins and grant believers eternal life: ‘John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’ This joyful message is clearly proclaimed to millions of visitors in Kentucky. I very much wish that this would also be possible in the same way in Germany or in Europe become possible. Therefore, I gladly support the Christian Culture Park.”

“The Culture Park has the potential to demonstrate that natural science and Christian faith are not contradictory, but rather mutually enriching: I hope that it succeeds in objectively and clearly pointing out that biblical faith is reasonable and, in harmony with unbiased science, usually offers better explanations for the essential questions of our existence and this world. I wish for the Park that the Creator Himself, Jesus Christ, be the center of all activity and presentation, shining brightly as the light of this world, as the truth and the source of all life.”

“Very interesting concept! Biblical statements should be presented impressively with scientific and cultural relevance. It would be wonderful if this project were implemented and people were introduced to the timeless relevance of biblical messages in an attractive, varied, and aesthetically pleasing way. I would be very pleased if the Christian Culture Park becomes a reality, creating a place of learning, encouragement, and encounter.”

“The ‘Christian Culture Park’ is very important for raising awareness of our history and legal history once again. For about 1700 years, Germany – and its legal history – has been shaped by Christian-Jewish values. (see \”Sachsenspiegel\” by Eike von Repgow) The German Basic Law was created for Germany after the experiences of the two World Wars. The presentation of backgrounds and motives should be given ample space in the cultural-historical exhibition.”

“With the Bible, we have such a wonderful treasure. In my small bookstores, I often feel as if I am sitting in a treasure chest. A small, inconspicuous treasure chest that is too rarely seen. The Christian Culture Park project would be large enough to be rediscovered by the general public. I wish that this park comes into being and that the many treasures of the Bible are vividly displayed.”

“I really like the idea of establishing a Christian Culture Park. The truthful presentation of scientific findings regarding creation is important. Here it can be demonstrated that honest science and faith in the God of the Bible are not opposites. It would be highly desirable if Noah’s Ark were visible from the highway. I wish the planners much success and good fortune!”

“The Christian Culture Park is an oasis where everyone who seeks truth can find joy. I am firmly convinced that from here, the bright rays of God’s truth will go out into our world, pointing young and old to Him who wonderfully holds everything together, from whom everything comes, and to whom everything goes.”
