FOLK environments are fragile things. At the Anderson Johnson Faith Mission in Newport News, Va., part of the building is salvageable, and part is not. In 1923, when Mr. Johnson was 8, he had a vision from God, who told him to go out and preach, said Deborah McLeod, curator of the Peninsula Fine Arts Center, a nonprofit community arts center in Newport News. In the two-story building where Mr. Johnson lived from the 1970's until last year, he painted the walls with angels and people (left), inspired by his visions. On Sundays, he held services in the mission, in the Ivy Avenue area of the city's southeast section. In 1993, the city government decided to build three recreation centers, including one where the mission stands, and paid Mr. Johnson $50,000 for the house and an adjacent one that he also owned. In September, Mr. Johnson moved out -- and Ms. McLeod organized an effort to save the murals.
