Lighthouse on the Prairies

There is very little information about the Jesus Elevator on the internet. Somehow, even Wikipedia missed it. In this book, you are going to learn about Hartley Somerville, a prairie born-again farmer who purchased a 75 foot tall grain elevator in Ellerslie, Alberta, moved it onto his farmstead and, in 1965, repurposed it into the biggest scripture sign Canada has ever seen. Fourteen years later, with the help of a few volunteers, Henry Vanderpyl undertook the task of renovating the elevator with a new verse. For twenty-four years, its endless message steered travelers-far and wide-alongside the Queen Elizabeth II highway at the south entrance to Edmonton: the Gateway to the North.
Sometimes, God calls people to do big things. For Henry, big things done with calligraphy became his calling unto God.
