One late afternoon, the group had an opportunity to eat in the Studio City Inn.  The Inn is also the Home of the Jim Bakker Show that is entitled the Studio City Cafe.  While the "Sonshine" group enjoyed the delicious meals, to our surprise, Rev. Jim Bakker walked into the restaurant.  Rev. Jim exchanged pleasant conversation with all of us.  The following photos were taken in the studio area of the Studio City Inn.

Johanna's Comments:  Visiting the Precious Moments Store and the Chapel Center was a tremendous opportunity for me.  The artist, Mr. Sam Butcher, established worldwide renown via his drawings.  Sam is the creator of the "Precious Moments" movement that is absolutely astounding.

"In 1974, Sam created his first Precious Moments drawing.  It was in 1975 when Precious Moments was introduced to the public.  He desired to honor the Lord by building the Precious Moments Chapel.  Since its completion in 1989, thousands of visitors have come to admire Sam's work.

 

" 'It is my prayer,' the artist says, 'that through my work in the Chapel, I might share my faith with others and that the Spirit of God might touch the visitor's hearts and bring them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord.' "

 

Johanna's Comments:  May the following photographs give you a glimpse of the beautiful "Precious Moments" art work.

The Precious Moments Chapel is awesome!  The tour guide so beautifully explained that a few of the angels in the pictures represented children from the artist's family that have gone to Heaven.  The picture in the front of the Chapel encompasses the wall from the top to the the bottom above the stage.  The large display is entitled the "HALLELUJAH SQUARE" - Giving a Message of Hope and Salvation!
