One thing we have learned is that God and Christianity is alive and strong in this part of the U.S.! As we prepare to be the hands and feet with our Switch It Up family Dana and I went exploring and found the most amazing space built in 1944! In the late 1800's when bible studying was banned Tomlinson met in private homes. Long story short, he climbed a mountain and had private moments with God. 40 + years later he, with assistance, climbed that same mountain and marked the spot for people to worship and learn about God for decades to come!
The first thing we came across was a reproduction of the resurection and the tomb from Jerusulum!
Next was the resurection
As you move down one side you arrive at the 4 tablets about the prohets. A circular building covered with all the psalms and then the prayer garden staircase filled with bible verses from each state!
When you come to the top you reach the Beatitudes and the Lords prayer as well as a prayer station! All nestled in and on top of the Blue Ridge Mountains!
The other half of land is AMAZING! They have built into the mountain the ten commandments which can be seen by planes flying overhead!!!!!!
Tommorrow we head to the heart of where the flooding happened near Ashville, NC and Banardsville, NC. The flooding was a year ago but people are still homeless, hurting and broken. Please pray for us, our Switch It Up Crew and Convoy of Hope!
