What does the name "Orion's Gate" mean?
The name "Orion's Gate" comes from the nature of the Orion constellation
itself. In its midst is a vast corridor over a thousand light years wide which
leads into the heart of Orion. At its end there are dense clouds billion of miles
across that hide an incredible source of brilliant light of unknown
origin. It is believed by some that hidden behind the vast cloud formations
of Orion lies heaven itself. If so, then anyone that teaches people how to
prepare themselves to live in heaven becomes a gateway to eternity. Since
this is our goal we have named ourselves "Orion's Gate" and our chief desire
is to be "a doorway to forever."

So what does Orion look like?

to us by the Hubbell space telescope. Be sure to look for the incredible brightness
behind the clouds. You may be traveling there one day soon.

What is "The Pilgrim's Progress"?
"The Pilgrim's Progress" often just called "Pilgrim's Progress" is an allegory
written by John Bunyan in the mid 17th century. It was written by John Bunyan
while serving a 12 year jail sentence for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ
without permission from the king of England. To learn more about "Pilgrim's
Progress" CLICK HERE.

Who was John Bunyan?
John Bunyan was a tinker (blacksmith or sheet metal worker in today's terms)
who lived in a small town in England named Elstow. The nearest large town was
called Bedford. John became a follower of Jesus Christ as a young man and his
talent for preaching and teaching soon made him a very popular minister. This
did not set well with other ministers who were losing members to John's preaching
and through their influence he soon found himself in jail for teaching people
about Jesus. His story is a fascinating one. You can learn more by CLICKING HERE.
