During our recent trip to Gatlinburg we had one of the best and most unusual experiences we ever had.
Cades Cove is wildlife preserve that also has old houses and churches on the premises. We drove around awhile and then we came to this old church
As we started singing and Angela kept playing, a strange thing happened. More and more people showed up and began singing with us! By the time we stopped the number of people in the church had doubled to about 40!
There was one young single guy there by himself, Chris, who just happened to be there when we started singing (What's the odds of that? 100%) He was a believer who had moved to the area looking for work. As we kept singing he started crying. He had been feeling bad for himself and decided to get some fresh air and visit Cades Cove this day at this time. We talked to him later and found he was just moved by the moment and the spirit.
He was looking for encouragement and found it in the strangest place, in a 200 year old church with a bunch of people he had never met before. God was really blessing that day.
All in all, it was our best trip yet, 16 people total, had a great time, can't wait to go back.
