When was the last time you left behind the daily stress and distractions in your life and focused on God’s presence and purpose for you? Come to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, N.C., and find refreshment at Billy Graham’s retreat center.

“Four words embody our deepest desires and prayers for The Cove,” explained Mr. Graham during its dedication in 1993: “instruction, inspiration, intercession, and impact.” His wife, Ruth, established four pillars as well. “The Cove is a place of retreat, rest, relaxation, and renewal,” she said. Each year, tens of thousands of guests experience the Grahams’ prayerful vision firsthand. There are three ways that you can too—attend retreats or other Cove programs, hold your own event here (page 27), or tour the Chatlos Memorial Chapel and Ruth’s Prayer Garden (page 23).

“Come with me … to a quiet place and

get some rest.” —MARK 6:31, NIV EXPLORE GOD’S WORD AND FIND RENEWAL

Each of us was made for a purpose. Do you know what yours is? Perhaps you feel it’s to be the best spouse, parent, or friend that you can be. Maybe it’s to lead a life of service to others. These are all truly wonderful. At The Cove, we believe those missions grow out of your actual purpose. God’s Word reveals that you and I were created, firstand foremost, to have an intimate friendship with Jesus—to glorify and enjoy Him forever.

Everything about The Cove—from inviting inns and caring hospitality to chef-prepared meals and scenic walking trails—is designed to help you relax and focus on your eternal purpose. Come retreat to this mountaintop and “meditate on these things” (Philippians 4:8, NKJV). Draw closer to Jesus Christ through prayer and the study of Scripture and be renewed.

WILL GRAHAM Executive Director

“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His

powerful word.” —HEBREWS 1:3, HCSB EXPERIENCE GOD’S POWER AND PEACE

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only source of lasting hope and true peace. It’s the only power that can bring real change in lives, families, and communities. Men and women from around the world come to The Cove to experience this power during life-changing seminars and Personal Spiritual Retreats. Here at this 1,200-acre getaway, gifted Bible teachers guide people as they meet with God through His Word, His Spirit, and His people.

Come experience “the gospel of peace” (Romans 10:15, NKJV) and see what God will do in your life. Invite Him to deepen your relationship with Him and get better equipped to share the message of salvation in Jesus Christ with those around you.

FRANKLIN GRAHAM President Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

“The Lord gives His people strength; the Lord blesses His people with peace.”

—PSALM 29:11, HCSB “Our experience at The Cove

“The experience has been rare and here at The Cove is like no wonderful! We have been able other. Connecting to to be free to speak openly God and with all He created about our struggles, pray with is the best gift I have others who understand where received in my we are coming adult life.” from, and receive top quality pastoral training.”

“I came overwhelmed. ENCOUNTERS I am leaving WITH GOD with air in my lungs again.”
