Construction company paves way to new parking lot for congregation
A small congregation in the
foothills of the Great Smokies built
a new sanctuary on a piece of land
willed to them by a church member.
Ten days before the new church
was to open, the local building
inspector informed the pastor that
the parking lot was inadequate for
the size of the building. Until the
church doubled the size of the
parking lot, they would not be able
to use the new sanctuary.
Unfortunately, the church with
its undersized parking lot had used
I
every inch of their land except for
the mountain against which it had
been built. In order to build more
parking spaces, they would have to
move the mountain out of the back
yard.
Undaunted, the pastor
announced the next Sunday
morning that he would meet that
evening with all members who had
“mountain-moving faith". They
would hold a prayer session asking
God to remove the mountain from
the back yard and to somehow
provide enough money to have it
paved and painted before the
scheduled opening dedication
service the following week.
At the appointed time, 24 of the
congregation’s 300 members
Assembled for prayer. They prayed
for nearly three hours. At 10
o’clock the pastor said the final
“Amen". “We’ll open next Sunday
as scheduled," he assured everyone.
“God has never let us down before,
and I believe He will be faithful this
time too.”
The next morning as he was
working in his study there came a
loud k nock a t h is d oor. W hen h e
called “come in", a rough looking
construction foreman appeared,
removing his hard hat as he entered.
“Excuse me, Reverend. I’m
from Acme Construction Company
over in the next county. We’re
building a huge new shopping mall
over there and we need some fill
dirt. Would you be willing to sell us
a chunk of that mountain behind the
church? We’ll pay you for the dirt
we remove and pave all the exposed
area free of charge, if we can have
it right away. We can’t do anything
else until we get the dirt in and
allow it to settle properly.”
The little church was dedicated
