A congregation in the foothills of the Smokies built a new sanctuary. Days before opening, the building inspector noted that they could not open until the parking lot was doubled.
The only way to have more parking was to move the mountain out of the back yard.
The church prayed asking God to remove the mountain and to provide enough money to have it paved and painted before the scheduled opening next week.
The next morning the pastor was visited by a construction foreman. He said, “We’re building a new shopping mall in the next county and we need fill dirt. Would you be willing to sell us a chunk of that mountain behind the church? if we can have it right away, We’ll pay you for the dirt we remove and pave all the exposed area free of charge.”
The church opened and was dedicated as planned. God does move mountains!
