The movie, Evan Almighty, is a story of a modern-day Noah. God instructs Evan
to build an ark in his suburban neighborhood. Like Noah, Evan begins building, much to
the amusement of his friends and neighbors who think he is crazy. There is a reason why
Evan builds the ark. One of the recurring themes of the movie is that people can help to
change the world through "Acts of Random Kindness" -- or ARK, for short. Through his
actions Evan actually empowers people to make a difference in the world.
Churches across the country participate in a website (Arkalmighty.com) which lists ways people from the church and community can help other people within the church and community. One church lists the need for food for the community food bank. According to the pastor, people from the community have responded by donating food items for the needy. An elderly woman asks for help cleaning her house and again people respond. An after school program for elementary age children started in another church where people from the community assist by playing games, helping with homework, and reading to the children.
