Your contributions over the next few weeks will help us find a physical home for The Vining Center. How amazing is that? This video highlights what we’re looking for in Boone, NC to help as many as possible co-create their True Self…

• A retreat center for both large groups and individuals.

• A gathering place for local spiritual community and small groups.

• A place to welcome students hungry for spiritual connection.

Will you help? Thank you for your generous gifts below. (All donations are tax-deductible!)

join the 153!

I love the account of the resurrected Jesus calling out from the shore to the disciples in a boat, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?” When he hears that they don’t, he encourages them to throw the net on the other side…as if all the fish in the lake were simply located fifteen feet to the left. The obvious miracle captures John’s attention so greatly that he records the number of fish (John 21). Yep, 153. This number has come to represent for me the abundant provision of God for all God’s people.
