Discovering
More About The Power of God’s Story: A Visit to Billy Graham’s Training Center
at the Cove
I truly had no
expectations except to hear God’s Word. On our drive over this past week, I
prayed for a word or scripture that I could carry away for growth and spiritual
enrichment. I had no clue who the spiritual leaders were or the entertainers. I
just knew God would show up, and I would be blessed.
The drive to Asheville
was beautiful. As we entered The Cove, there was an immediate feeling of
beauty, serenity, and peace. The lodge was quaint, nestled into a knoll, and
surrounded by blooming rhododendrons, azaleas, and daffodils. We were greeted
and escorted through the main hall of the lodge down to our room. When we
opened the door, we gasped. One whole wall was a window, exposing a steep
incline of rock, flowers, and dense foliage. At this point, I wanted to stay .
. . forever! No TV, no radio, and little to no cellphone reception. I thought
Dallas would whine, but he didn’t.
Our next venture was to
go to the Training Center to register. The story of Billy and Ruth Bell Graham’s
life in ministry, and their impact in evangelism covered the lower level
floor’s walls. You could imagine their lives being intertwined with God’s as
they yielded to His business.
I want to tell you more
about the ministry sessions we attended, but for now I want you to see a few of
the pictures on Billy Graham and his ministry. I’ll share more in other posts.
God bless you always!
