“Ashan” is the wonderful word that summarizes the mission of Smoky Mountain Resort Ministries.

“Ashan” is the Hebrew transliteration of the theophany experiences of the Old Covenant.

Got that? Want a different definition?

“Ashan” is the word used in the Old Testament of the Bible to identify God’s presence in smoke. It is the word for “smoke” or “cloud” with God’s presence hidden in that smoke.

Smoky Mountain Resort Ministries seeks to reveal the presence of God –to show God active in people’s lives—to those who live, work, and play in the resort settings of Sevier County, Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

God is here in the Smoky Mountains! God is active in our lives! Smoky Mountain Resort Ministries is at work revealing God to others.   Thanks be to God!

Ashan!
