The Marked Summit: Friday, February 1st and Saturday, February 2nd "A Place where Passion, Prowess, and Purpose work together" REFUGE @ THE SUMMIT There is a place where God hides His beloved-in the sanctuary of His presence. Webster's dictionary defines sanctuary as, "A place of refuge; asylum; hence, immunity." God's abode is a sanctuary for the war-weary soldier; a place of immunity from the poaching's of the enemy. ~Bob Sorge, Secrets of the Secret Place The latter part of The Marked Summit will be a night of worship through the arts. The evening will feature an inspirational message that will be focused on empowering attendees and producing a positive atmosphere that encourages, elevates, and enlightens individuals, regardless of the place they find themselves in. REFUGE @ THE SUMMIT featuring National Recording Artist Israel Houghton and other musical guests.
