So you were speaking more of the comfort factor of the Korean location. I see.

So, if you were seeking direction from God, say in DECEMBER, and wanted to go fast and pray for 3 or 4 days at FOTW... would it be conducive to that right now?

Prayer Mountain in Korea has many tiny rooms for prayer, out of the weather, providing a measure of privacy, with nearby public restrooms, and you can stay for days. They also have a hotel-like facility for extended stays -- simple, almost spartan rooms, where one can go rest, sleep, shower and retreat.


That would be so awesome. I was at FOTW over Spring Break(kind of looking rough) and as I drove around I thought it would be nice if they had little cabins or a spot to pull in little campers so that ministers could come and seek God for a few days...just get away.

However, this concept...open to all would be even better!

Is that what was said? or Was the answer concerning the conducive factor. Some camp grounds are conducive to holding IYC and others are not. It's not necessarily about comfort, but rather what is conducive to the situation at hand.

Comfort?

I am not sure I would use the word "comfort" to describe the prayer grottos; a small room about 4' x 6-7', wooden floor, cement walls, and a light bulb, with a small low table to use as an altar or to lay your Bible. Winter is bitter cold and wet in Korea (and in North Carolina?) so the floors are slightly heated with some sort of embedded heat coil to make it possible to kneel, sit, lay on them and pray.

Not sure that qualifies as "comfort" -- more like pragmatism.

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)
