A drive through the small back-country town of Atlanta, Idaho, where I help with the Atlanta Christian Chapel. Please pray for this ministry. This was the first week in November.
I went to the school, my sister and I in about 68 to 70. Our dad logged for Boise Cascade and we had a logging camp down river . Me and my dad grabbed a road grader and opened the road to atlanta the winter of 68-69. 10 hour trip to do 10 miles. I remember we stopped in front of the Hub and the town got dad drunk.. and I got to play on snowmobiles that the locals let me play on they were so happy to get to go to town and get mail!! Horseback into the lake up Graylock and fish... what good childhood and tnx for the video
Hi Bruce. You still at the church in Atlanta? Not sure if you knew but I worked out of the FS Guard Station for better than thirty years. I worked on horseback in between Atlanta, Grandjean, and the Stanley Basin...
Yes I remember you working over there, and yes I am still involved with the Chapel, I am the caretaker and will be opening it up again for Resurrection/Easter weekend, Lord Willing, in this day and age that is maybe a lifetime away have missed you on FB, glad to hear from you :{)
I was thinking about stopping there this spring and camping somewhere close by. Are the locals hostile towards tourists? I’m not trying to get into anyone’s business but I do want to poke my nose around the town a little bit
Loved your video! I have been up and down that Middle Fork road into Atlanta many times, as I live there for the entire month of October every year. I have several videos on my Channel about Atlanta!
Thank you for sharing! I have not been there for years, but my mother grew up there. She told me there were missionaries that came up and ran bible school in the summer. Is this the same organization?
Well I don't know for sure, but I think so. It is Christian non-denominational, we just teach what God has given us in the Bible. It use to meet in what was the Hospital building for the mining operations, we have pictures of kids in Bible studies back in the sixties for sure.
Bruce Lund, I love to hear that you teach right out if the bible! My grandfather and grandmother moved there during the 1930s after the lumber mill in Emmit shut down due to the depression. My grandfather was a miner. My grandmother was born in Rocky Bar. My mother often talks about the gospel seeds that were planted in her heart during bible school as a child. She finally accepted Jesus in her 40s. May God bless your ministry! Do you have a website?
No, I don't have a website and I am just a small part of Several ministries including Atlanta Christian Chapel, I try to put update on here of what I'm up to, such as the caretaking of the Chapel and the prison ministry I do. I am on Facebook also. Are you still in Idaho? thanks for the watch and I hope subscription, God Bless you as well!
