Sandi Gorin , President of The South Central Kentucky Historical and Genealogical Society Inc. presents me with a check for $2,500.00 to pay the entire cost of a Kentucky Historical Marker to be placed roadside at Morrison Park Holiness Camp Meeting Grounds on Hwy 63 about 5 miles south east of Glasgow Kentucky. The historical marker will focus on the great Henry Clay Morrison who grew up on this ground and went on to become one of the nations most famed ministers. It also focuses on the historic Holiness Camp Meeting he established here on his ancestral farm in 1900. The annual revival at the park drew enormous numbers each year. The park has been under restoration for over three years. We at the park, have always felt the need for an historical marker, but realized the money we had, had to be spent for repairs to the park itself. After much prayer, we felt the Lord leading us to make a leap of faith, and prior to the October 1, 2013 deadline, prepared an application to the Ky historical Society who approves or rejects each request. We were so excited when the marker was approved, but we were in the dark about just how the cost would be paid. The Lord surely opened the door when the local historical Society contacted us, and asked questions as to what we were doing and how they could help. It was just unbelievable, but that is how our Lord works. It will mean so much to preserve the history and the importance of the park for generations to come. God bless, Sandi, and all the wonderful folks of the society for giving us their unanimous support in this matter. We can never say thank you enough. We also praise our wonderful savior, who continues to lead, guide, and bless, as we seek his will in this restoration endeavor. Please pray for us, and the success of the park. God Bless, Gary Bewley.
