Liberty keeps expanding

Liberty University opened a brand new ice rink this weekend. LU has a very competitive club ice hockey team and now has the rink to match.



Thanks to generous donations by Tim and Bev LeHaye, LU will not have to make the 45 minute drive to Roanoke for practices and games.

I remember making that drive with friends a few times... this will be such a benefit to the current students and entire Lynchburg community. Liberty is opening this rink to the public daily for 3 hour skates and charging a modest $5 for the time and rental. Liberty is also hoping to use the rink to develop a positve relationship with the community.

No matter what you think of Dr. Falwell with regard to his political involvement, one this is for sure... he is a visionary that God has used in amazing ways to expand the Kingdom.

Thomas Road Baptist Church moves to the mountain (where the school is located) by July of this upcoming year as TRBC is building a brand new 6,000 seat sanctuary to bring the church and University together. Liberty is truly a place of vision. If you ever want to see what God can do with one man who seeks his face... take a trip to LU.

tally I was up there for the holidays....the facilities at LU are sick...I don't know if you have had a chance to go through the new building but the student center witht the five indoor basketball courts, the pool and the indoor track are incredible.

The ice skating rink just ain't right...where was all that stuff when I was at Liberty?

ok I'm jealous. Here we are trying to do ministry and make things happen and now we get to see all the greatness that we are missing at LU> Man those guys have it made now. I remember us not even being able to have a TV when we were there. I've gotta admit I enjoyed the rides up to Roanoke. it was a good time to chat and hang out. I'm very excited about LU and all that is going on there. I can't wait to go back and speak up there.
