Morris Cerullo plans huge Christian theme park in San Diego
-Televangelist Morris Cerullo, widely known for his overseas healing crusades and the occasional legal skirmish, now is hoping to cement his spiritual legacy with the help of hologram-filled catacombs, a 20-foot-tall wailing wall and an interactive biblical museum.
More than four years after purchasing a foreclosed Mission Valley hotel, the Pentecostal preacher is banking on faithful followers and religious-minded tourists to flock to a planned Christian-themed resort that will transport them to biblical times — with underground passages reminiscent of Rome and a domed theater outfitted with full-motion seats and sensory effects simulating wind, snow and fog.
The $125-million project, which needs approval from the San Diego City Council, promises to transform the 18-acre site into a tourist destination that could draw as many as 400,000 visitors a year. And according to Cerullo, not all of them will be seeking the Gospel, project leaders said.
"This idea of themed entertainment is going to start reaching into ... museums, the waterfront," said Jim Penner, executive director of the Morris Cerullo Legacy Center. "It's a business model. It's just based around religious themes rather than secular themes."
Cerullo is no stranger to religious tourism. In the early 1990s, he sought to salvage a Christian theme park in South Carolina...

Is he still alive?
Right after I first got saved in Sept. '77, he came to Atanta at the beginning of '78 and I went and saw him. Don't remember anything about it though.
Also right after I got saved, just a month or two, Bro. Shambach came to Atlanta and I had no idea who he was and a friend of mine and myself went to see him. That was really good. I remember my friend carried a little 9 year old girl out to her mother's car because she was so overwhelmed by the Spirit. Just totally out and praying in tongues.

He was in Oslo in 92, I loved his sermon. He's one of those ministers that got rich by doing business separately, he was worth over $100m decades ago. Why not keep serving God in one's eighties if one can ?

Love brother Shambach. "You don't have any trouble, all you need is faith in God!"
