Women’s Seminars...... 23 SEE GOD IN THE BEAUTY.

Four decades ago, Billy and hiked up a pristine Blue Ridge mountainside on the east side of Asheville, N.C. Stopping by a shallow creek to pray, they asked God to use the surrounding beauty for His glory— to make it a sanctuary for spiritual refreshment and transformation.

At The Cove’s dedication service nearly 10 years later, the Grahams each expressed their vision for the scenic haven with four words. Ruth prayed that The Cove would be a place for retreat, rest, relaxation, and renewal— a refuge where people could meet with the Lord Christ, personally and privately, and never be the same again. Billy committed it to impact, intercession, instruction, and inspiration— relying on God’s Word to equip His people for discipleship and sharing His love with others. Today, their prayers continue to be answered for tens of thousands of guests each year.

“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

—PHILIPPIANS 4:8, ESV HEAR HIM IN HIS WORD.

Do you need to renew your relationship with God? This is the ideal place to do it. One thing you’ll notice about The Cove is that everything on- site is intentional: our inviting mountain inns, attentive hospitality, delicious gourmet buffets, winding walking trails, and so much more. It’s all thoughtfully designed to free you from the stress and distractions of daily life and help you focus on God’s Word and hear Him speak.

As breathtaking as The Cove’s physical surroundings are, the real beauty of this place is what Jesus Christ does in each open heart. The Bible says, “He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness” (Psalm 107:9, NKJV). If you give God your time here and focus on building your relationship with Him, He will fill you up, refresh your spirit, and begin meeting those needs and desires that often seem so elusive. Come experience a real, authentic, and life-changing encounter with Christ.

WILL GRAHAM Executive Director

“The instruction of the Lord is perfect, renewing one’s life; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the

inexperienced wise.” —PSALM 19:7, HCSB DISCOVER THE PERSONAL POWER OF GOD’S PRESENCE.

From the time The Cove was merely a vision shared by my mother and father, this 1,200- acre property has been surrounded in prayer. We praise God that He is answering these prayers as gifted leaders, seminary professors, and authors continue to guide people from all walks of life in applying God’s Word.

Whether you come for a seminar with a leading Bible teacher or a Personal Spiritual Retreat, you can immerse yourself in Scripture and the presence of the Holy Spirit and be filled with His fruit: “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, [and] self-control” (Galatians 5:22–23, ESV). It is a blessing to hear from men and women of all ages who have been strengthened, encouraged, or equipped by the Lord during their time here—which often comes in the midst of a crisis or at an important crossroads of decision. If you need guidance, rest, or rejuvenation, God has provided this place for you.

FRANKLIN GRAHAM President Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

“It is God who is working in you, enabling you both to desire and to work out His

good purpose.” —PHILIPPIANS 2:13, HCSB “I came a long way, from Washington state. This “Thank you for such a beautiful visit to The Cove. is a watershed moment for me. I came out of My husband and I have enjoyed ourselves so a background of a lot of tragedy and trying to much.

Praise God for the hope, and encouraging them to come be a part of this and the blessing, and the that He gives us.” great place.”

“Our marriage was in crisis, which had been building over a dozen military deployments. Never had we done anything like this or gotten help for our marriage. The veterans EXPERIENCE center in Columbus, Ohio, told us about THE COVE. The Cove. We thought, we don’t know if we are still going to be ‘us’ by the time we can make it to a seminar there. Your seminar literally saved our marriage. I just want you all to know the power of this place.”
