Speaker and Author Ken Ham and TrueSong to appear
Saturday, November 1
As a highlight of the Child Evangelism Fellowship of Southern Illinois Annual Fundraiser, CEF is excited to welcome speaker and author Ken Ham to the stage on November 1, 2025. Ken Ham is the Founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis, as well as the visionary behind its two renowned attractions: the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. Joining him on stage will also be the TrueSong Music Group, traveling from the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY.
Ken Ham is the Founder CEO of Answers in Genesis and its two popular attractions: the acclaimed Creation Museum and the internationally known Ark Encounter, which features a life-size 510-foot-long Noah’s Ark—sometimes described as the “8th Wonder of the Modern World.” Each year, the two attractions host over 1.5 million guests. A much-in-demand Christian speaker and interview guest, Ham became well known throughout America for his 2014 evolution/creation debate with Bill Nye, TV’s “The Science Guy.”
TrueSong is one of Christian music’s most exciting groups, and since forming in 2022, they have served as the resident artist band at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum! With genuine hearts for God, TrueSong makes uplifting music that proclaims truth to people of all ages.
