After most of the world’s population is wiped off the map by a wayward meteorite or hail of nuclear missiles, the survival of the human race might just depend on a few thousand people huddled in recreational vehicles deep in the bowels of an eastern Kansas mine.

That’s the vision of a California man who is creating what he calls the world's largest private underground survivor shelter, using a complex of limestone caves dug more than 100 years ago beneath gently rolling hills overlooking the Missouri River.

“I do believe I am on a mission and doing a spiritual thing,” said Robert Vicino, who has purchased a large portion of the former U.S. Army storage facility on the southeast edge of Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City, Mo. “We will certainly be part of the genesis.”

Before it comes time to ride out Armageddon or a deadly global pandemic, though, Vicino says the Vivos Survival Shelter and Resort will be a fun place for members to take vacations and learn assorted survival skills to prepare them for whatever world-changing catastrophe awaits. …

In North East Suburban KCMO, Park University, mined limestone for years. Now not only is the University Library, and many University offices underground. This includes corporate storage and other company offices. A two lane underground road connects everything quite a set up!

"....my comment was more of a food for thought comment for like-minded Christians...."

That's the way I read it.
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" - surely.

But that doesn't mean I shouldn't "prepare" for "unusual" times before He returns - I think most of us understand that.
Of course, within reason - one shouldn't obsess on "Plan B" at the expense of all else....

Exactly. I’m an old scout. I fully believe in God’s sovereignty in all things, but that does not mean I don’t believe in being prepared. And I generally am prepared.
