The inception of this extension of God’s Kingdom, as all others, manifested in the form of a revelation, a vision. Pastor Gary Wallace Purchase, a servant of the Most High God, received this revelation in 1992. In the 9 years leading to the legal establishment of this church, Pastor Gary obeyed the calling on his life in simple obedience and servant hood. During this period, God has equipped him with what was needed for the establishment Arauna Ark Ministries and continuity of this church.

Gary Purchase runs the Arauna Ark Ministries as a form of Kibbutz, but weans people off the love of money. "You've got to give to receive. Don't take to get. Give to receive".

Gary works on the pay it forward principle, if you have a skill impart it. The ark is a miracle they have accommodation for 80 people where
they learn a skills.

There are no fences there, people can come and go.

Pastor Gary’s dream is to accommodate 200 individuals.
