TIMBER! Storms Leave Behind Damage at Center
When it comes to operating a large campus in Indiana, you never know what you’re going to get! The large storms that swept across the Midwest at the beginning of April had quite the effect on our campus. Nearby communities like Albion, Kendalville, and Angola saw even more damage to buildings and land. We were thankful that none of the twenty-one tornadoes that swept through Indiana that day hit Rome City. We are looking at over $10,000 dollars worth of damage to our campus from the two storms. The first storm left most of the damage, downing seven large trees on

How to Get the Artesian Spring Water
Many pilgrims come to drink and take with them the reportedly healing spring water which flows non-stop from an artesian spring on the south side of the building. In 2022, we built a three-spigot water fount on the south plaza. This water fount is just feet from the actual source of the artesian sping which is about 6 feet below the surface of the parking lot.
While the water flows from the spring naturally, we do use a pump to get it to the water fount. The spring and the basins of the fount drain over the side of the hill forming a waterfall. For the safety of pilgrims, we recommend that water for drinking only be collected from the water fount and not the side of the hill.
