I was referring to the ark part.

However... do you really think that a hotel would fly out in the middle of nowhere North Carolina? IMHO it would be another high price COGOP debacle that the International Offices would have to bail out, e.g. the chain of White Wing stores that failed.

The short answer YES If it was marketed correctly.

If we also were to include a conference center that could provide facilities for ministering to people as well as people wishing to get away to a quite place to rest.

Maybe if Great Wolf could expand there? that would also help with the idea of a water park on the grounds.

If some private company wants to do it, fine. I'm not for the church opening something like that though. If COGOP has shown one thing time after time, it's that our leadership (though wonderful men, wonderful preachers and spiritual leaders) are lousy businessmen.

That's because they're just that -- preachers and spiritual leaders.

Just because you're called to preach doesn't mean you're called to handle money. Just ask :( Edited out by moderator)

I read about something like this in a recent article. It was not a retreat but a church.

Read the 2nd section of the article Building the New Bethel.

I think if the COGOP outsources something like that to another company, let's do it!!! Let's also create a tourism campaign:

"Lo, we heard of it on the Travel Channel, we saw it at the FOTW"
