Evangelist Runs Christian Country Club In Illinois
Evangelist Dean Stevenson, through Touching Jesus Inc., transformed a Johnston City revival into a country club for Christ. A land donation valued at 50000 dollars plus 25000 dollars raised funded the Fairway Golf Club in Marion, a 13 acre 18 hole resort with restaurant and clubhouse. The organization operates a religious book store and a remote radio studio broadcasting Stevenson's 20 hour weekly show on WGGH Marion, spending 144000 dollars yearly on air time. High profile gospel acts like the Sego Brothers and Naomi perform, with plans to rent the clubhouse for weddings and religious meetings and to expand into television production.
