Tell It on the Mountain” Logistics


We need 4 groups of people to make this witness of God powerful.

1. Bible Readers
2. Mountain Climbers
3. Shofar Blowers
4. Support Volunteers

The Bible Readers will be assigned scripture verses to read by a volunteer when they arrive at the meeting location.
• Meeting location for Bible readers is inside the park at the Sky Ride Plaza Area (the sky ride starts operating at 10 AM). Signs will be posted near the plaza entrance and at the top of the mountain that read “Tell It on the Mountain”. [Cost for the round trip sky ride is $9/adult or $7/child; one-way is $5.50 (plus tax)].
• Readers should bring their own Bible in whatever version they typically use.
• Please use a Bible of your native tongue if possible.
• Readers will begin reading their assigned readings when the shofar stop blowing shortly after 11 AM and read for up to 45 minutes.

Mountain Climbers will begin the ascension to the mountaintop at 11 AM sharp. Volunteers will synchronize the start.
• Meeting location for Climbers is at Confederate Hall.
• Climbers should be at the Hall no later than 10:30 AM to get additional information from the volunteer.
• “Tell it on the Mountain” signs will be posted in this area.

Shofar Blowers will need to be at the top of the mountain no later than 10:30 AM to get placed.
• Shofar blowers will get their placement and additional instruction from a volunteer once they are at the mountaintop.
• Some blowers may want to walk up the mountain to get to the top. If so, allow enough time to reach the top and be rested for the 11 AM blowing.
• You may also use the sky ride/sky lift which starts operating at 10 AM. [Cost for the round trip sky ride is $9/adult or $7/child; one-way is $5.50 (plus tax)].

Support Volunteers – there will be 3 types of volunteers: 1) Coordinators; 2) Prayer Warriors/Evangelists; 3) Helpers
1. Coordinators (2) will be needed to meet mountain climbers at Confederate Hall to provide instruction to those climbing the mountain. Two additional coordinators will be at the top of the mountain to give out reading assignments to those who are reading.
2. Prayer Warriors/Evangelists are needed to be at Confederate Hall and the mountaintop should people need prayer or want to know more about the King of Glory. Tracs will be provided to handout should this group of volunteers wish to have them.
3. Helpers – many people are needed in this category. Helpers will have bottled water and towels for the climbers to use during their ascension. Helpers will be located at the base of the mountain; two additional designated areas on the mountain climb, and at the mountain top. We may also need transportation helpers.

Transportation: We are still finalizing transportation details. The cost to enter the park per vehicle is $10. Those that have a parking pass will incur no charge to park. A parking pass which is good for one year costs $35 for the first pass. If you purchase more than one pass at a time, the 2nd pass is $20.

Transportation Ideas:
If any of the participating congregations have buses or vans etc. that can be used to transport people, please let us know as soon as possible to coordinate. We may have a caravan of cars, etc. that will meet at a designated location and go to the park together. More details on transportation will be provided as soon as possible.

Tell it on the Mountain


Grace and peace to you from God, Our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
On Saturday, May 15th, 10:30 AM at Stone Mountain Park, we will show the world that we are united in Christ. We would love to have you join us.
God has given me a vision of an army of believers ascending under the banner of God, literally proclaiming Him before the nations. The primary goal is to show the world that we are committed to God, and we are united in that purpose, to evangelize the world and our communities. As you may know, the greater Atlanta area, specifically Gwinnett County, is one of the most racially diverse population in our nation. By gathering people from all nations who love the Lord of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we can make a powerful statement for our Lord.
We will begin with seven (7) people blowing rams’ horns (shofar) for thirty seconds on top of Stone Mountain. This will signal the seventy (70) people (also at the top) to start reading assigned parts of the Bible (simultaneously) in their native language over the people of GOD as they ascend to the top. At the same time the shofar sound, people of every nation, tribe and language (who are gathered at the foot of the mountain) will start their ascension under the banner of GOD, “King of Glory”. The reading and the march will take about 90 minutes. For those who want to participate but cannot march, the lift is available. When the people of God reach the mountain top they shall receive their reward.
Many churches, including Salem Missionary Baptist, Lilburn Alliance Church, Vietnamese, Eritrean, French African and Hispanic churches, are already on board. When the trumpet sounds, please join us to ascend to the mountain top. Will you and your congregation join us in this mighty witness?
If your Pastor or Evangelism department would like to participate or has questions, please have them contact Jonathan Magee at jonathanmagee@live.com or 770 312-7256.
“After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands”. Rev. 7:9
