    Morris Cerullo to Build $131M Religious-Themed Center in San Diego

    -International Pentecostal televangelist Morris Cerullo was granted approval Tuesday to build a $131 million religious-themed resort and conference center following a vote by the San Diego City Council.

    Cerullo's World Evangelism website revealed that the Legacy International Project has been backed by the council after the project's environmental impact report and development permit were approved in a 7-2 vote.

    The project will be built over the 18-acre site of the former Mission Valley Resort, and will reportedly include a new 127-room hotel and restaurant. It will also host a replica of Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, and will screen biblical films at a domed theater.

    "It's a wonderful, wonderful vote to cause us to rejoice that San Diego finally can greet people with their desires that make San Diego a better city," said Teresa Cerullo, wife of the televangelist.

    The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that members of the LGBT community spoke out against the building plan, but said their concerns were based solely on a potential increase in traffic.

    Morris Cerullo World Evangelism maintained, however, that traffic caused by people visiting the Legacy Center would not exceed permitted limits, and would not contribute to a significant impact on traffic in the area...

    ...Cerullo, 86, told The Christian Post in an interview in December that he has battled serious health issues, but has recovered after being bedridden for nearly eight months in 2016.

    The televangelist told CP that it was God's healing that restored him after vasculitis, a family of uncommon diseases that feature inflammation of the blood vessels with no known cause, left him unable to move.

    "This is probably the greatest miracle I've ever seen in my life. You know I've seen thousands and thousands of people miraculously cured but nothing like this. I was given up by the doctors. I was paralyzed, they had me in a wheelchair for maybe seven, eight months this year," Cerullo said at the time.

    It's great that he was healed at the age of 86. There are many religious theme parks in the US, let's hope that it will do some good.

    It's a business rather than a money drain that churches have to pay for somehow. Let's hope that it will actually do some good in addition to costing nothing for the Church.
