10/26/20 – “My wife and I experienced "The Coming King" Sculpture Prayer Garden while passing through Kerrville this last week. It was the highlight of our trip! While there, the power of the Holy Spirit was undeniable. We were both moved to tears. I also encountered a lady while there who commented on the experience as being exactly the same feeling she had had on a recent trip to Jerusalem. I truly believe the efforts of your organization in constructing this site will bring glory to God by bringing souls to salvation through Jesus Christ. It doesn't get any better than that! Additionally, I signed us up today as Ambassadors of the Cross members.” Clayton Allison

10/8/20 – “WOW! WOW! WOW! MAX! How truly gracious of the LORD to draw so many to Him through the Prayer Garden and music into eternal life! That is my passion for the lost to be found, for the blind to see, for the imprisoned to be set free, the broken healed, the curious to be captivated, the lonely to feel His love, the lame to walk, the empty to be filled, for those who lack purpose find their purpose, for those who have been called trash to receive themselves as most precious treasure....., All in Christ! Praising God for your answered prayer and may there be an abundance of those preordained celebrations (as occurred with the 10.4.20 Sean Feucht worship concert)! Heavenly hugs to you and Sherry.” Barbara Franklin, Director CHRIST CENTRAL, Akin, SC

9/29/20 – “I came to the Cross of Kerrville to get reconnected with my Lord. I wanted to find myself because I drifted away from the Lord. My battle has always been with the gay lifestyle. When I gave my life to the Lord, when I was 19, my eyes were opened and I knew this lifestyle was evil and not from God. I thought that it would leave me, but I was wrong. My life became out of control. I cried out to the Lord for years asking Him to take this away from me. I’ve slept with so many men that I cannot count, I think its over 150. I thank God that I never got HIV. But, the God News is God has been changing me little by little though out my years and that desire for the gay life is going away. I hit my one year without being with a man and that is why I am here. I came here to leave everything at the Cross and follow Jesus. Deny myself, take up the cross and follow Jesus, and that is what I am going to do. I’m going to leave back home tomorrow on fire for the Lord, serving Him and becoming the new man God has called me to be. I leave you this gift ($299). Use it for God’s Kingdom. God bless.“ Matthew (41)

There are many great treasures and sights in the Lone Star State.

We stopped here around 10pm and the hill up is steep my beetle struggled a bit, but we made it up there.

3/27/20 – “Seems now that with all the government mandated down time people are filling that time with meaningful things. The Garden is providing people a place to ponder eternity and meet God during this uncertain time in our history. The online virtual world can momentarily satisfy the human spirit’s search for meaning, but as we all have witnessed, God likes to meet people in person at our Holy Garden. Keeping it open is a good business decision but more importantly a good moral decision during this present darkness.” Matt Tyykila, TCKF Trustee. Spring Branch, TX

It promotes compassion and embraces all that is good, gives people hope and a lovely - and non-denominational - place to reflect, recharge, and worship (or discover) God.

They are battling something within themselves, but even a flicker of light can overcome darkness.” Donna Hatch, Kill Devil Hills, NC

From the moment I saw the The Empty Cross as we entered Kerrville, I knew there was a reason we’d decided to make the Hill Country our home - I had thought it was rolling fields of bluebonnets, and the music that seemed to be everywhere. But it was your Hill, Max. The Garden touched my soul, and I have lovely memories of being “home” whenever I visited it.

This book will be a wonderful reminder that God has a plan.” Donna Hatch, NC

A great place of reflection and peace.” Janet Taylor, Fulton, TX, TRIP ADVISOR WEBSITE

2/1/20 – “The very first time we visited The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden we knew instantly that God wanted us to support and be a part of this amazing garden that God called Max and Sherry Greiner to build.

1/9/20 – “Interesting place. You can't visit Kerrville without making a stop here. We just happened to see the huge cross from the road and had to see what it was all about. It's an interesting place. The giant empty cross is in the middle of several prayer gardens. They have rocks that you can write a prayer on and place in the garden. I'm not a very religious person, but it was an interesting spot to see just once. There are also several volunteers walking around that will answer any questions you have. There are also a few other religious sculptures.” Lil Dobi, Corpus Christi, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

1/1/20 – “Beautiful even if you don't consider yourself very spiritual. It's on a hill with a view of the whole town from the top. Drive on up (be careful to watch signs for the one ways) and park. I would say is moderately strenuous walk from car to the sculptures but it's a short walk so anyone who might have difficulties just go slow, but you can do it. There is handicapped parking also that helps. There are several sections of items to view with nice paved stones around the whole area. Looks like they are adding to it also so it's evolving over time to be bigger (more items). Unique thing for the Kerrville town for sure!” Katy R. Granbury, TX, YELP.COM Website

12/20/19 – “AMAZING!!! These sculptures are amazing! Beautiful details! This prayer garden is so peaceful and quiet. You can sense God’s presence and His love. The main walkway is paved stones, but there are side trails of gravel. The main walkway has numerous scriptures which are done in Spanish, English and German. There is an area where you can write a scripture on a rock and leave it in the garden. There are several places where you can leave a prayer request on paper. Located on a hilltop, you have a wonderful view of the Kerrville area. There are quite a few sculptures in place with more to be added in the future. Note: if you type in the title, GPS will lead you through a local neighborhood and on endless routes to nowhere, but if you type in the address, you’ll be taken to the correct street. This is a beautiful place to pray and meditate. I highly recommend it!” Lisa B., TRIP ADVISOR Website

12/11/19 – “Praise God! Hallelujah to the King of Glory! Now is the time for His Melchizidek church to come forward. Max you have put into visual form what that looks like. When we come to The Cross in the Garden it's so revealing. The message God has given you with Holy Spirit fire is evidenced. Witnessing His awesome presence, His awesome LOVE AND PEACE! To God be the Glory -- see what God has done! I declare His Joy and joy and joy booms out of this garden to heal and restore us. That the songs of reassurance and resurrection lives-- HE is present with us. His light is beaming with love for the lost ones. We truly are His sheep and we hear His wonderful voice. HIS people He has called to fellowship with Him. He is our Father -- our Shepard -- Our Redeemer -- and our Justice. Praise be to the KING OF GLORY! Again Hallelujah!

9/16/19 - “Impression as I entered the prayer garden - As we drove up the hill to the prayer garden, the Spirit of the Lord impressed me with these thoughts: We have traveled to places in Europe and visited many historical landmarks and sites. Many of them are set on hills. As we were driving up the hill to the prayer garden, I received the same feeling as I experienced as we approach historical sites in other places in the world. The Lord spoke to me and said that this place is an historical site. As many of the sites in Europe are hundreds of years old, this site will last throughout the years and will be an historical site in the Spirit and for the glory of Jesus. Many will say in years to come (perhaps 100’s of years in the future) ‘This site was built and has served as a memorial to Jesus throughout all these years.’ The prayer garden in Kerrville will remain as an instrumental place in the plan of the

Lord in this region to serve as a testimony to the sovereign rule of Jesus over all of His creation.” Cliff Canipe, Cliff Canipe Ministries, South Africa

9/14/19 – “When was the last time you went somewhere that really changed you? You should visit the cross in Kerrville. The open cross is 77 feet 7 inches tall, in a sculpture prayer garden in Kerrville….All of the sculpture works have been donated and sit in a cross- shaped garden on the top of the hill along IH-10 overlooking Kerrville…I have a good friend who has been talking of the place and wanting to take a Saturday men’s Bible study group there. It did not appeal to me; there were a lot of expectations of spiritual manifestations happening there and I framed it as a place encounter-seekers go. He gave me a CD that only reinforced my skepticism...Tuesday morning I went for my usual swim and then headed to Kerrville to experience it for myself. I was not sure what to expect, but on getting there was amazed – a 300-foot long cross shaped garden with 77 scripture verses in three languages on the walkway was powerful! The 18-foot-tall statue of Jesus on a white horse is the center of the garden was breathtaking…I urge you to go and experience it for yourself. Many have found Christ there; some have seen miraculous things happen and some have been healed and some like me have been baptized again into a fuller life following the King.” David Warmke, Columnist for the New Braunfel’s HERALD

On Friday night, there was prayer for healing, and I felt that I was to go forward and ask for healing of my stomach. The next day, the Aglow participants were encouraged in their free afternoon session to go to the Prayer Sculpture Garden in Kerrville. My wife, Susan, and I decided to go. We walked through the incredible Prayer Garden and were deeply moved by the sculptures and the scriptures as we walked up the hill to the Open Cross.

As we went through the Open Cross, we heard a woman say: "I believe the Lord wants to heal a stomach and a neck problem." I said, "The stomach is me!" My wife said, "The neck is me!" The Glory of God was so strong that I could barely stand on the top of the hill. I fell to my knees and saw the 10 Commandments plaque at the bottom of the cross. I believe that the rivers of water flowing underneath the hill, the open cross and the 10 Commandments are representative of the turnaround and the healing that God is going to give to our nation, even though the Supreme Court reversing its Roe v. Wade abortion decisions and the school prayer cases which broke our covenant between God and America, which are cases I am working or will be working on, as a lawyer.

The woman prayed for my stomach and after that weekend, my stomach was miraculously healed of decades of severe acid reflux which had almost produced Barrett's esophagus, and which had moved into my lower intestines in a very painful way. I stopped taking my medicine and have not taken in it since and I am healed in Jesus' Name. Thank you, Lord, and thank you, Prayer Garden!” Alan Parker, Attorney, President of The Justice Foundation, San Antonio, TX

I have never left the Cross after serving, without an amazing story (or more) regarding how the Lord is working in the lives of those I meet. Going to where God is working and joining in is a no-brainer to me. The Lord has shown me that my strengths involved relationships, and efficiency in business related management. This is typically in areas of organic growth; that is; using what resources you have and growing. Defining growth may be physical, spiritual, financial, and even emotional. Thank you for the opportunity to be associated with such an amazingly loyal, unselfish group of Christians. I often say ‘Attitudes are contagious; is yours worth catching?’ I have never met anyone associated with the Cross who did not have an attitude that I did not want to catch. As long as I keep myself being Spirit led, I remain blessed. Thanks for this opportunity.” Dr. Mark Mosier, Kerrville, TX (Newley elected TCKF Trustee)

Beth was the Tour Guide Chaplain that I had scheduled for this little group, since we had an Executive Committee Meeting going on in the office at the time of the tour. I was able to get away for a few minutes and go see and pray with my friends at The Cross. As I prayed for our little group, God graced Linda with the Shekinah Glory and she was beyond amazed! Linda and Ken are diligent in sharing The Empty Cross information that I post on Face Book with their friends, which expands our exposure to their friends and so on and so on. They loved their tour. Beth is awesome and God was definitely “showin’ off again! Linda said they can’t wait to come back again to visit The Garden.

It was a grand synopsis of your book making me what to read the whole thing – a dynamic testimony to the power of God. The evidence of God through those years is broadcast loud and clear. It brought to mind so much scripture. I could not tell you all it inspired in me in an email, so here comes this letter. God is definitely in charge of the garden. You are a portal for Him. May we all be a door for Him to walk through to reveal His power and love. He delivered you from your enemies and brought you and the cross under His protection. “If you have love for one another, everyone will know you are My disciples.’ John13:35. You revealed yourself to be a true disciple with your forgiveness. You forgave in the midst of pain and bewilderment. Your act of forgiveness is made perfect in His passion. The sinful nature of human beings is astounding in your story and the ongoing saga being played out…Come quickly JESUS! But, God stomped down the evil attacks against you and the cross and brought you forth, the beauty of what is transpiring today in Kerrville. These gardens are a tool for God to use.” Barbara Ashmore, Webb City, MO

Since my first trip to The Empty Cross I have come back several times and will continue to make that stop a high priority in my life, as I continue to seek a stronger relationship with God… I do believe in miracles though and know that God is working on me every day. For well over 15 years, I have been working on what I believe God gave me as my destiny through my work to support the arts. Somehow, God connected us and I have no doubt that will ultimately lead to many exciting new opportunities for us both as we continue our work.” David Clark, Art Tours, Comfort, TX

4/11/18 – “I must share this story with you. I was at your prayer garden in Kerrville a few weeks ago, seeking God about some really important matters for direction in the next phase of ministry, after retiring from the military. I just received a very important phone call and decided to go up to Kerrville to pray with my wife, Esther. Esther stayed in the car and I went up to the cross, on the way I saw the bronze lion and marveled at its beauty and majesty. I went underneath the cross and began to intensely pray, something prompted me to look up into the sky, and there in the clouds was the head of the Lion of Judah looking directly at me! I stared at it in disbelief for about 5 minutes. I am not given to dreams and visions, but this was unmistakable and irrefutable. The Lord spoke to me out of that Lion and told me that He is coming back as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Rev 5:5) and that my ministry would be connected with that. Since that time, God has opened some incredible doors that I cannot share with you right now, but will, when God permits.” David Giammona, US Army Chaplain (Colonel)

4/11/18 – “Shalom Dear Friends! WOW ! This is WONDEFUL ! The life size LION is gorgeous and seems VERY anointed ! Hallelujah !! Standing with you in prayer !! If there is anything I

4/10/18 – “Easter at the Cross: Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 4pm to 7pm I served as a “Greeter”. Friday a woman with a removable cast on her arm let me minister to her. After I prayed for her, I asked her to take off the cast. She did and her arm seemed to be healed but she started to put the brace back on. I asked her why do that. She said her thumb hurt, so I prayed some more for the thumb till it was OK. When she left she shook hands with me and gave me a strong hand-shake with the healed hand. Saturday a man with a removable arm brace did almost exactly like the lady before. However, he said his arm was broken and would have hurt if he’d taken the brace off before I did my thing. Instant miracle. Sunday was uneventful until about 6:30. I asked a lady in a wheel chair if I could pray for her. She said she had not been able to walk for about 7 months. I prayed for her then asked her to stand up and she did. I took her hands and said “Let’s walk” and she did without pain. I went backwards till we got to the entrance to the area. She said she was afraid of heights so I let go of her and said turn around and go the other way. I took a picture of her walking and her husband walking beside her and her dad behind her with her wheel chair. After a bit she stopped and cried big time. I guess it took her that long to realize she was actually walking. The girl that was working with me and a man got all excited and started praying for other people so we had several miracles happen that last few minutes. The man said he had come there from San Antonio hoping he could see a healing miracle so he could try doing it. So he was very thankful that I had started the ball rolling. I wish I could explain how wonderful it is to say a few words and God heals the person. It is working with God Himself. Too AWESOME for words!” Bobby Jetton, TCKF Volunteer, Kerrville, TX

Sure enough the baby will be birthed!!! Alive and healthy!!! The Lord revealed to me personally that the Lion Of Judah is not just a Max vision it is a God vision! Also, the multiplication of the gardens is not a Max vision, it is a God vision. Ever since He revealed this to me, my prayers have changed to a declaration! Several times I have heard people mention both of these as Max's visions. I now boldly say and I am vocal about this, that it is a GOD vision, not just a Max vision.” Debbye Meszaros, TCKF Administrator, Kerrville, TX

4/6/18 – “Max, I rejoice with you and Sherry on the GREAT NEWS today of all the publicity The Empty Cross and Prayer Garden are getting nationwide. In spite of all the negative news that goes out daily from the left, God makes a way for His Gospel to be known throughout the world. We too are seeing breakthroughs on the Corpus Christi Cross. We're about to complete the massive foundation, on which we are going to install the giant FFA light that goes on top of the Cross, on the foundation until the Cross is raised. This will shoot a beam of light 1,500 ft upward, every day from 5am until dawn, and from dusk until midnight. This light will be visible up to 12 miles way, reminding people that Jesus is the light of the world.

I remember the first time you took Martha Fisher to the property. It was after the retreat, the one in which more than 200 of our ladies invaded your home, and you were so gracious to share your story, your home, your heart, your art, and your prayers. It is still one of the most memorable days of my life. As we stood on top of that hill, and you shared your vision, it was a little hard to imagine how it would transform from dirt and rocks into such a beautiful dream. Each time I visit I can feel the difference, the Spirit is strong and the love is deep… The Coming King Sculpture & Prayer Gardens will certainly be a part of whatever I do… Continue prayers for you, Sherry, and everyone and everything you are involved with. Thanks so much for your heart and your vision. It has been a source of inspiration to me throughout this process.” Karen Ingram, San Antonio, TX

1/8/18 – “I grew up coming and visiting this precious town. My parents lived here and my Mom lived and grew up here. Kerrville holds a special place in our hearts. I cannot tell you the joy I had when we saw the cross go up. I never knew you could come up and view the cross until this summer. I came up here on my birthday in September. When I came up here there were people sitting down. They asked if they could pray for me. Of course, I said yes. We then the proceeded to pray and that was a moment I will never forget. They said they went there that day from San Antonio because the LORD told them they needed to pray for someone. This cross and prayer garden are such a peaceful place where you can know the presence of the Holy Spirit. The sculptures are the most precise, breath-taking, beautiful and precious sculptures. Thank you for opening this up and letting people come and pray and experience Jesus in a new and wonderful way. I am forever grateful. My Grandma passed away and we had her funeral this weekend. I brought some of our family up here and they loved it. While my time in Kerrville might not be as frequent, I will still treasure this cross and come back and visit. Thank you again for being obedient and building this garden. What a beautiful place! I pray for your blessing and peace, in the name of Jesus joyfully.” Jane Skaggs, Lewisville, TX

1/6/18 – “Thanks for doing God’s work, and giving a place to pray.” Richard & Suzanne Garmah, San Antonio, TX

1/3/18 – “My family visited the sculpture garden around noon on the Saturday, 12/30/17. We had not been here since the other sculptures had been erected – we have been there twice when the cross was the only one. Each time was special. Each time was very special. But, so was this time. At some point this fall, I discovered your testimonies on your website. I have heard them all, and some more than once. They have greatly encouraged me in my walk with the LORD. They reminded me that the faith God requires is simple, if only we would obey! Thank you for making those available. I was very moved by the

Scriptures along the path, so much so that by the time I reached the cross, I was filled with emotion – that of thanksgiving to God and of amazement at the Truth and beauty of God’s Word. It is so powerful. I took a photo of most of them, and now I realize how handy they will be when I’m out and about and want to share the LORD with someone. We found the Prayer Rocks very touching. What a beautiful idea. We left several prayers. As I looked at the sea of rocks, I felt like it represented all of humanity crying out to God for help, which of course is the case. But He hears us individually and knows our whole story. The whole experience was an affirmation of what I feel God has called me to do, because it contains the same elements; God’ Word, God’s presence, created beauty and prayer and praise. In May 2018, I sensed God giving me a vision of creating a place in my community where folks who are losing hope could come and be in the midst of beautiful worship and prayer, and where they could participate at any level –singing, playing an instrument, waiving a banner, dancing, performing mime or drama, making a tapestry, or any number of things. It will be called “HEARTS for Hope”. At the time I was a staff music therapist in an inpatient psychiatric unit, and I was sad that I could not lead folks in worship. Only if someone requested a hymn or worship song could I lead it. That’s when I felt the LORD gave me this idea…Thank you for obeying the voice of the LORD in creating the garden and for the beauty of your art.” Beth Rogers, La Marque, TX

11/21/17 – “The Empty Cross will fill your heart. I struggle with my faith, but oh the emotional conviction when I hear music, sermons, and prayers or see things like this. Not sure if I categorize myself as religious, but I love this prayer garden. Made me wish my grandmother was here to see it with me, but at least I was with my dad and he seemed to love it as much as she would have. (I think if I wasn't afraid to have to answer to a higher power upon my death, I would most definitely be a horrid person.) If you visit as a pilgrimage may it be annually, weekly, occasionally or just once, you won't be disappointed. People were deep in prayer and left beautiful, heartfelt prayers written on rocks around the garden, near the cross. Don't write on the tables or anywhere else, just use the rocks. They provide markers near the empty cross on tables with reading materials you are welcome to take, if you'd like. Even if you are not a person of faith, anyone for the desire to see art, experience new things, or be knowledgeable and well-rounded, will appreciate this beautiful and peaceful garden. The views of Kerrville are gorgeous; you can see for miles at the top of the hill, I mean if you stop to take it all in. When the weather is nice and you are fit you can park at the bottom and hike up. It was our plan, but I got lazy so we cruised to the top (in our car). They have plentiful and designated parking areas. It's easy to get to; right off the highway and you can see if from far away. The entrance at the bottom of the hill has the bust of "The Coming King". Don't drive straight to the cross at the top, because there's more to see here (at the bottom). ‘It Is Finished’ is (a sculpture of) three nails, or spikes. The middle one points to the cross. Also, ’Mary, Mother of Jesus’, (features Mary) reflecting on the crucifixion and holding the crown of thorns. Don't miss the ‘Twelve Stones, they are tucked away in a corner. Now drive or walk to the top, for the last seven works of art done by the artist, Max Greiner Jr. The Best things in life are Free.” Nancy C., Houston, TX – TRIP ADVISOR Website

If you're looking for a break from distractions, you'll find it a lovely, quiet place to disconnect from busy-ness.

for guidance before I prayed aloud for each of them. They needed Him and they found His comfort on His Mountain. Twenty six visitors received prayer; they were from Houston, Midland, Pleasanton, San Antonio, Comfort, Kerrville and Ingram. Most were first time visitors. I received some of the tried and true descriptions: Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, awe inspiring and magnificent, all were a part of the praise statements.

5/27/17 – “Dear Sherry and Max, In order for the LORD’S will to be done in Kerrville, the LORD took you as a couple on a journey that no one else would, nor could complete. Because of your willingness to be obedient to what to most, looked like an impossible venture, you began a work with steadfastness and much opposition, with a boldness in your mission and a vision from God, that in the beginning seemed like an impossible dream. Your trust and faith has been remarkable to watch and see, what God can and will do through obedience. I just wanted you both to know how much I esteem your faithfulness. oI pray God gives you the desires of your heart, and that your latter days be more than you will ever dream. Wait and see what God will do. May He give you more peace, joy, and knowing that your race is not over, your desires, plans and purposes are being heard. The Father’s love for you is all you have asked for and beyond. You are greatly loved and admired for who you are. God Bless! Love in Christ.” Nancy Russell, Kerrville, TX

5/25/17 – “I just thought that I would tell you that I continue to be one of your biggest fans. I love the vision God gave to you, and I appreciate your talent and the exceedingly hard work that translated the vision into a physical manifestation of artistry and great beauty. I am so thankful for your vigilance and protection of the vision over these years. I think a ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’ is in order, though the battle will no doubt continue...I knew that I could not produce a garden with that degree of inspiration and quite frankly, perfection. I know perfection belongs to the LORD… I felt that it had a kind of perfection I had never encountered before. I completely support your attempts to keep the original vision from corruption! I am praying for you and Sherry, and all who labor in this field.” Susan Kerr, Architect Park Planner, Denver, CO

5/24/17 – “I haven’t felt like this in my life! I feel so alive here! All I am focusing on is God when I am here! I am so a peace here. This is so amazing!” Roz Bell, Kerrville, TX

5/24/17 - “Max, thank you for this beautiful place. I came here to pray to Jesus that He help me. I just recently became homeless and am so afraid. Would you please pray for me? Last night I was going to hang myself, but Jesus intervened. Thank you.” Donna

5/22/17 – “Really nice place! I feel nice like this place.” Jesus Garza, Mission, TX

5/21/17 – “The Empty Cross of Kerrville. Want serenity? Here's the place to go. Sculptures are awesome and the miracles keep flowing. Meet for an hour or a whole day. Every time I

go, they have something more added. Now there are picnic tables to rest and have lunch...lights for night time and always a breeze! So, if you are going in the cool, wear a jacket. Heat, bring suntan lotion and a hat. The trees are just now showing a little shade. But most of all, feel the presence of our Lord!! God Bless.” Becky F. Ingram, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

5/20/17 – “Christ is King! This is a very humbling and impressive site to visit. It is well done, represents the Christian and Jewish faiths very well and appears to still be expanding. The creator of this exhibit is to be congratulated.” Ward H., Hot Springs Village, AR, TRIP ADVISOR Website

5/18/17 – “A Noble Endeavor! Saw the sign and cross from our hotel room and decided to stop by on our way to Fredericksburg. This is a work in progress, but still a nice place to come and sit, pray or just contemplate. There are boxes of Prayer Rocks scattered around the park and sharpies to write your message. A nice visit is 30-45 minutes. Don’t forget to stop at the entrance and see the statuary there. Admission is FREE and is open from 7 AM to Midnight.” SoCalOregon, Murrieta, CA, TRIP ADVISOR Website

5/17/17 – “Moving! We came several years ago and it was really good then. It is even better now and it is still not finished. A very moving experience. The statues are amazing. Very quiet with music playing in the background. Not sure how "sacred" the ground is, but still worth going.” Lisa B., Fort Worth, TRIP ADVISOR Website

5/16/17 – “Beautiful site, atmosphere and moving experience! We had visited a couple of years ago. We were impressed with the site and what was in place at that time. We met the sculptor and some of the Board members that happened to be there. A very interesting back story of how it came about. We were in the area this month and went back to see what had been done since the earlier visit. We arrived at sunset just to see the sunset from the hilltop, but we found they had added lights and it was open till midnight. We walked through again and there were several family type groups visiting. Again an amazing display of sculptures and scriptures in Spanish, English and German. Still a few sculptures to come and we will visit again. GOOGLE MAPS has a ground level view that gives a peek.” Randy J. Irving, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

5/7/17 – “God really changed my life in all ways. I am still in need of work. God made me notice things in my life I was confused about, and made me realize I need to open up to Him and the people that care about me, about my life. I need to quit holding back on so many things, so many bad things built up in my life. Coming here to the Prayer Garden is a real cleansing, stress relieving, anointed place. If I can stay here and worship the God living here, this place makes me realize life is wonderful. I want prayer for my life. I want to thank God for the people He sent in my life. Pray for the people that need help, that I have dealt with. I praise and worship You God in all ways. Thank you. God bless you.” Anonymous

5/7/17 – “God is good. I want to say thank you for this beautiful place. I was a Baptist here almost two years ago coming to see The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden. While here,

I was Baptized In The Holy Spirit. Ever since, it has changed me. I love to come and just sit and feel peace. I wish I didn’t have to leave because I feel so at peace here.” Anonymous

5/7/17 – “Very Moving! This prayer garden is absolutely beautiful. The statues were breathtaking. Loved the fact that you could actually write on one of the rocks provided to leave a prayer & leave. They are still expanding the prayer garden. Hope to go back eventually to see what additions have been made. This place is a must see. You can leave without feeling something.” Loomjam, McKinney, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

5/6/17 – “The Baptists were well represented on this great afternoon; a pastor and eleven of his flock from San Antonio were followed closely by a 58 member Senior Choir from Levelland First Baptist Church. I feel sure there were a good number of Baptists in the additional 56 which brought my two hour total to 126! Big numbers are great! The Lord poured out His grace on one soul: Ryan, a young recovering alcoholic responded to my question: Do you know the LORD as your personal Savior with a NO’. In the few minutes that followed he prayed the prayer of Salvation. I asked if could (Water) Baptize him. He is now Baptized! My visitors came from Montana, California, Michigan, Arizona and Texas. This was a pure joy day; busy, busy but soooooooooo rewarding. I gave the Bus driver for the Levelland group our DVD to play for his group on the way home. I prayed with a number of others this afternoon. I covered the major events. I thank the LORD for letting me help Ryan find the way home. Please pray for one of the newest members of God’s family; pray that he will be able to overcome his addiction. God bless each of you as you serve Him on His mountain.” Col. Bill Lewis, Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

4/30/17 – “Will touch your heart! A surprise find! Although listed as number one attraction in Kerrville. It’s still a fabulous place to enjoy peace, find God present and marvel at the effort of a community of believers and what has been accomplished. A Must see.” Robert Bob G., TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

4/29/17 – “This is a beautiful park. The cross, which can be seen from the road, is amazing, but just part of a visit. The statues, verses, and peacefulness are wonderful. I'm looking forward to it growing as they collect more money.” Lisa C., Lake Jackson, YELP Website

4/29/17 – “Peaceful and moving. Loved it. Great experience. Lovely sculptures and an awesome view. Pavestones with scriptures in 3 languages. Seemed serene and spirit filled. I have read and heard many negative comments. I choose to believe the operators are humbly following God. No reason for them to endure all the pain and public outcry otherwise. The cross is a bit large, but when I look upon the hundreds if not thousands of stones along the path with people’s heartfelt prayers written on them, I can only feel that the majority of people experience a deep spiritual encounter. To stand at the foot of that cross or the other sculptures and be still and just listen, it is truly a moving experience.” Srtx, TRIP ADVISOR Website

4/28/17 – “It is much more than just a cross visible from the Interstate highway. This is a special place dedicated to God and being used for His service. The art is outstanding and the view is beautiful. Worth taking time along the way of your trip, or making a trip just to be there.” Jimmy L., TRIP ADVISOR Website

4/28/18 – “The cross is the most amazing place I’ve ever been to. The sculptures are all perfect, showing God’s mercy in every detail. One of the volunteers felt compelled to pray for me. He asked if he could pray for me. He asked if he could prayer for me, very respectful, and then did so, I could go on and on about this place, but the fact is, God will speak to your hear there, and who better to stop and see!” Jonathan Holmes

4/27/17 - “Exceptional Attraction! This prayer garden is inspiring, educational, and a significant addition to Kerrville. Although it can be used as a drive-through attraction, parking, walking and experiencing the Bible verses, the personalized bricks, the statues, the magnificence of the cross and the prayer messages should not be missed. The view of the surrounding area is amazing. This is really an amazing project and can be a healing and prayerful environment. The entire area is a work-in-progress. Many more statues and learning experiences are planned in the future. The originators of this project are beginning to see their dreams come true. .” Patricia B., TRIP ADVISOR Website

4/24/17 – “In a nutshell, my husband and I finally made our first visit, definitely not the last, to The Empty Cross on 4/13/17. While my husband was getting in the car to leave, I started visiting with your Greeters who offered to pray for anything we might like prayer for. I pulled out the picture of our grandson serving in the Army in Afghanistan. It was obvious the Greeter had the anointing of the Holy Spirit on him so I gladly accepted his offer. As soon as we arrived home in time for lunch, we heard on the news of that bombing in Afghanistan. Despite not knowing what situation our grandson might be in, we had no sense of fear, we were at peace!!! We know the Greeter’s prayer was the icing on the cake to ours. We were blessed!!! Thank you!!!” Pam Watson, Center Point, TX

4/24/17 – “This radio show (The Cross At Kerrville) I do with you is the best thing I do! I help a lot of good charities, but this radio show about the cross is the best one because it affects people. I am really glad I am a part of it.” Roy Holley, Radio Show Producer, San Antonio, TX

I am constantly reminded that when we are bold and step out, we must be prepared to be misunderstood.” Bess Love, Kerrville, TX

4/12/17 – “Beautiful Place! Thank you!” Anonymous

4/10/17 – “Gigantic Cross at the Garden! I frequently pass near The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden, and I had not visited. I had a friend visiting, so we decided to go. They are preparing for Easter Celebrations, so we had to enter a different way. I must say that I was favorably impressed with what has already been done. The Empty Cross is huge! At night, there is a light shining down from it. It is awe inspiring. I have read that there are plans for further sculptures to be placed later on the incoming road to the cross on the hill. As of now, there is the cross, a man on a white horse, Jesus washing Peter's feet, and a huge earth ball. The site is definitely a place to visit.” Cowgirl 10_10, Kerrville, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

4/10/17 – “Absolutely worth the time spent. I went twice - once alone and once with my 22- year-old son so he could see this. This is not a fancy place, just breathtaking, and I don't mean just the view. I felt such a sense of peace and awe. The statues are detailed and beautiful. (Don't miss one of the best at the bottom of the hill, on your right as you drive in. I missed it the first time.) You just drive up the hill and park. At the bottom of the cross are beautiful prayers. Along the walkways the pave-stones have the most-loved and well- known Bible verses. It's just a beautiful experience. And, if you have never owned a Bible, there are free ones available near the base of the cross. A donation box is there, but no one pressures you. I just highly recommend this - for pictures, for prayer and for peace.” 848 Kirstinee, TRIP ADVISOR Website

4/10/17 – “Very Inspiring Garden! My wife and I visited this sculpture garden while visiting Kerrville. We were impressed with the garden and the message that it is sharing with the world around it!” Larry L. Dresser, WI, TRIP ADVISOR Website

4/6/17 – “This prophetic vision has taken almost 17 years to reach this point of completion. Sherry and I are amazed at what God has done and how He sent thousands of other Christians to help us built this holy place for Jesus Christ and His children. Each year over a hundred thousand people are presented with the written Gospel of Christ. Most of these people encounter the presence and power of God during their visit. We are humbled that God would use us to help create this special place on earth.” Max Greiner, Jr. Artist, Architect, Evangelist, TCKF President, Kerrville, TX

4/5/17 – “Our Bible Study Group from St. Peter’s Catholic Church visited your prayer garden recently. We were so inspired by the beauty and peacefulness we experienced. Thank you for this with so many! God bless you!” Lea & Jim Perlity, Boerne, TX

4/5/17 – “There is a powerful presence of the Lord at The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden. I believe it is even more so on Easter weekend. The magnificent sculptures, the gorgeous landscape and views, the powerful prayer rock paths, prayer benches, 77 Scripture Tiles, Baptismal pool, and the anointed worship music is almost indescribable. It is overwhelmingly beautiful! Thousands of visitors have had life-changing experiences at TCKF Sculpture Prayer Garden. I believe everyone who attends the Resurrection Celebration Easter weekend will experience the Lord in a personal and intimate way as we worship together and hear powerful true testimonies. Something extraordinary happens when you see the massive 77'7” Empty Cross towering above you and the bigger than life Coming King Sculpture of Jesus on a white horse in front of it. You realize that Jesus died for you, rose again and is coming back! That is the Reason we celebrate Easter. I can think of no better place to do it than at The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden. It is a powerful visual of what happened that first Easter morning. The Cross is Empty, He arose! All For Him.” Rev. Louada Raschke, TCKF Trustee, Kerrville, TX

I was so overcome with the spirit that I could not even voice a prayer. This is truly a special place, but God did show me all of His creation is special and we need to be praying in every place at all times. I needed this word of encouragement. I will be sending a gift for the Garden soon. Also, I will be talking with Mike Huckabee soon and let him know about our visit. I will be praying Col. 1:9-14 for you and myself. Thanks again.” Jim & Beverly Lanier, Arkansas

3/24/17 – “Max and all, Ninety-one friendly folks, nineteen groups scattered from coast to coast, Christians from the Big Apple to visit Mom in Kerrville, Tom and his family, Fallbrook, CA also visiting another Mom in Kerrville. My largest group (21) from Warrior’s Haven, a center near Bandera which provides treatment for First Responders and former military; many of the responders are also former military. I have visited with groups from this organization previously; when I prayed for this outstanding group of men I received a bear hug from each one and a lot of positive statements about the Cross and Garden; many of these fellows are praying their way out of big hole. Their primary response includes feeling His presence and His peace. Mary and her family, SA, military retirees brought friends to experience this lovely peaceful place where you just know God is waiting to hear your prayers; her words. She has often brought house guests. Houston was well represented with repeat visitors bringing friends just to see and experience the Garden. The Mid-West was also heavily represented; small town USA: Hope, Arkansas, Sikeston, MO, Peoria, IIL,, Waterloo, Northern Michigan and a couple more I have forgotten. I had a steady flow of guests; the parking lot had seventeen vehicles when I arrived and it maintained fifteen or more for two hours; I started to leave four or five times; each time another car would arrive. I was so busy I didn’t known Karl was working until he came by my office on the way home. I usually have a chance to say hello to Dakota and his busy Bob Cat; all I had time for today was a wave as he make multiple passes with another load of soil. Joe Ed has

a real winner in that lad. I caught a couple glimpses of Randy as he kept busy. I had a short visit with Debbye and Johnny on the way up the Mountain. I shared the vision tale a number of times; almost every group had at least one first time visitor. They have one thing in common; they are amazed at the way the native plants enhance the man designed Garden and its sculptures. No new adjectives to day but I sure heard a lot of old faithful being repeated; Beautiful, with an absolutely prefix now and then. I feel so at peace when I am in the Cross is a very familiar phrase. You could have taken a lot of bows today; Max: the newbies had the same praise statements I often hear and the same questions; “Where did he get this fantastic design?” I tell them you are on a first name basis with the designer of the universe. My bedtime is approaching; God bless each of you as you minister to His kids in His Garden.” Col. Bill Lewis, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

3/23/18 – “Max, in humility and faith I heard the King speak to me this morning. He spoke to me saying: “I will do this (Place the Lion Of Judah life-size sculpture in Israel.) for you My Daughter My beloved and for Max & Sherry. Your heart pleases Me as this is MY Will, My Lion accomplishment.” Linda Morris, DODI YAVOH MINISTRIES, IL

3/23/17 – “Everyone should experience this at least once. We first found this jewel a few years ago, and every time we've come back they've added something new.

Fountain/baptismal pool is beautiful, bronze sculptures are amazing, it is quite a spiritual experience.” Kris T., Cleburne, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

3/23/17 – “A HOLY PLACE! Many sculptures grace this land with a walk way of scriptures leading up to The Empty Cross!!!

3/16/17 – “The story of this sacred area is a beacon of hope for all of the lost souls who have yet to discover a relationship with God.

I pray that people find peace and God’s unconditional love.” Casandra Gonzales

3/15/17 – “I was here September 2016 and asked for prayer for my mom who was in a situation that could have resulted in Federal prison time. God was with her in her trial and she received three years’ probation. Thank you for answering our prayers. God is wonderful.” Name withheld, Uvalde, TX

3/14/17 – “Dear Max, I told you Sunday of a man I had met at the men's breakfast the day before. His name is Captain Dave Hunt. He told me he was an 18-wheel driver from Louisiana who had made arrangements to move with some friends to New Mexico some time back. He said he had never been this way into the hill country, and especially through Kerrville. When he got here, "something" made him look up and he saw the empty cross and stopped. He called his friends and said he felt like he was to relocate here because "something" had touched him about this place. He found our church and changed his occupation in order to stay here. That's it in a nutshell but I'm sure his own words will be better. In HIs love” Preston Courtney, Kerrville, TX

3/13/17 – “I came to this cross three times before and prayed for three things in which I did not think were possible. But God proved me wrong and all three of them came true. I still don’t know how, but God made a way were there was no way. This cross is the closest thing to God Himself because it always feels like I’m talking to Him face to face. And, like I said, the last three times He has always listening.” Cruz Salazar

3/13/17 – “I am so very thankful you listened to Holy Spirit when He called you both to build The Coming King Sculpture Garden in Kerrville, Texas! I am wowed every time I step foot in His garden.

I’ve ben praying for my mom and step mom, and step dad to quit smoking. It doesn’t do much, but it helps, I can tell. Also, I get teased and bullied at school. It’s rough. I’ve been to counseling several times. It doesn’t help. But, I know God is helping every way He can. I’m thankful for that. This place helps me a lot. This was my first time coming. I enjoyed it. I like to pour my heart out here. And I met Blair Guidry (Tour Guide Chaplain) He’s nice and funny. He helped me too. Thanks for reading!” (Name withheld), Chillinothe, MO

And, Ohio provided the balance. Laurie, a university student from Ohio added one more ‘Awesome’ to my growing list of adjectives describing the Garden and Cross. Our Minnesota guest commented: “The whole Garden and magnificent art pieces are beyond beautiful.” Our friends and their northern guests were good tourists; they read the signs, studied the scriptures, added a number of autographed rocks along the path, and just enjoyed being in the presence of the Lord in His Garden. I left a little early… I prayed for thirty-one patients. My knees were getting a little weary, and the chilly breeze was making the hospital attire too thin for comfort.

2/28/17 – “MAGNIFICENT MONDAY! Max and all: The winter Texans were raving about the weather and the beautiful Garden; we had folks from Iowa, Arkansas, South Carolina and the Dakota’s plus some good Texans from Corpus, the Valley, SA and some home folks. All of my visitors assured me they knew their Savior and were sure they had a home in Heaven on the horizon… Our friends arrived as singles, couples one group of three and finally a family of six from SA; a two month old little guy and his big sister, two years old blessed me and our other visitors. The little girl was a very cute chatter box; she was interested in everything and had questions for anyone what would listen. A lady from South Carolina provided the best descriptive phrase; “The Garden is absolutely marvelous; the lay-out is perfect; I can’t imagine a more perfect design.” She, as you can see, liked what she observed. The perfect weather contributed to the time they spent with us and to their activities; the prayer an mediation path had a lot of composers in action. The scripture verses received a lot of attention and people were spending more than the usual time reading them and the other signage…I count the time spent on the Mountain all joy; I had time for private prayer for many of you and for Lou and my family. God bless each of you as your continue to serve Him.” Col. Bill Lewis (92 year old) TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

We may have passed a thousand visitors today. We will check the counter later. We may have had over a hundred folks at one time today, since the weather was so great. However, Jesus told us He cares about the one lost lamb. I have been watching one lamb in the cross

(11:00 PM). She appears to be a teenager with a problem, sitting and praying about something in the cross. So, please pray God helps this one little lamb. Thanks. In Jesus.” Max Greiner, Jr., (Email to TCKF Trustees)

2/11/17 – “Quite Reflection. My husband and I have gone to Kerrville many times and seen this HUGE cross up on a hill, but always assumed it was on private property. We were visiting my sister in San Antonio and her husband. They have visited this garden several times, so we made a trip to Kerrville to see it. We spent quite a bit of time walking through the garden and reading all of the plaques on the statues and scriptures that are embedded in the sidewalks. Then, we just sat and enjoyed the peaceful setting and watched other people's reactions and emotions as they viewed the displays. The site is still under construction, but it is still very impressive. Donations for Pavers and construction are welcome! There were volunteers that would pray and/or talk with people who wanted to pray or just talk with someone. This is especially a good time to go visit this site as we are in the holy season leading up to Easter. I loved the scriptures that were set in the sidewalks (they were each printed in three languages). Be sure and stop at the base where you enter and see the monument of twelve stones and the statue of Mary the Mother of Jesus. The statues in the garden are all very moving and beautiful!” Darlene H., TRIP ADVISOR Website

2/12/17 – “On EASTER Sunday in the year 2016, I was at the Cross in Kerrville, Texas. That day I experienced something I had never experienced, or even heard of. I was praying under the Cross on the right side. I felt the presence of Jesus Christ. It was such an incredible warm feeling in my heart. As I was praying, a group came next to me and said:

‘Sister, look at your jacket!’ I looked and it was covered with gold flakes! I didn’t know what it was. He told me: “Sister, that is from Heaven, that is the Shekinah Glory! It is a blessing from Jesus.’ I was so overwhelmed with this, it was incredible. The group was Jewish Christians and they asked me to come and pray with them. We sang in their language, we held hands in a circle. As I departed from the group, I was experiencing such closeness with Jesus that more golden flakes were coming down on me, big flakes! This gave me the opportunity to pray with people. It was as if Jesus was speaking through me. Two brothers saw this and prayed with me. I gave a piece of my golden Shekinah Glory. He wanted to share this special event with other people. That morning I was able to testify this miracle in front of a crowd. God gave me the strength to share my experience. I was not afraid to speak in front of people. It was amazing to share throughout EASTER day, to put my hands on and pray with people. I believe there were miracles performed and powerful healings took place. I have been wanting to share my story regarding my miraculous, awesome experience of the Shekinah Glory, a gift from Jesus. I embrace it humbly and I want to say this is real. God is truth and light. Being at the cross in Kerrville, Texas is so special. It is an amazing fellowship. I encourage everyone to go to the Cross and pray and experience a magnitude of stillness and quietness with our Jesus Christ. Joy, Peace and Love! Blessings!” Cynthia Courtney, Kerrville, TX

The beautiful surrounding view, the giant cross, the beautifully crafted sculptures, the many prayers written on rocks, and the Scripture tiled path, all lead your heart and eyes in one direction to the King of kings and Lord of lords! This is a peaceful and beautiful place to visit. I always find a quiet spot to pray and just enjoy the presence of our living and mighty God. The worship music playing in the background helps me to draw closer into Him in worship. Both my husband and I have had unique experiences here of knowing the touch of God. We have also had the pleasure of meeting and praying with the sculpture artist Max, which gave us a very good sense of the true heart and passion behind the making of the garden. Since discovering this place we have taken friends to see it and plan to bring more friends in the future.

1/9/18 – “VERY IMPRESSIVE! We’re wintering in the Hill Country, staying in Bandera. Decided to spend Saturday exploring Kerrville, about 20 miles away. After our first stop at the Visitors Center, we knew immediately it would take more than one day to see it all. There’s a lot to do here! We’d passed The Cross on our way to Bandera last week, so we wanted to see it up close and personal. I’m so glad we weren’t pulling our RV, because there’s no way we could’ve gotten it up the winding road to the top! It’s one lane wide, one way up and one way down. This is definitely worth seeing, even if you’re not a believer in God. Sure, the cross is impressive. But what’s even more impressive is one couple’s labor of love that will probably last a lifetime. The layout of the grounds have been thoughtfully conceived, and visitors are naturally drawn in to see what’s next. The plethora of messages written on rocks is an awesome testimonial to the spiritual principle of ‘faith.’ Even if the

visitor is agnostic, he is sure to be moved by the experience. It’s amazing what the power of imagination can produce. This is one attraction in Kerrville that should not be missed.” Maria R. TRIP ADVISOR WEBSITE

1/9/17 – “You know the LORD is here! We were here the first time in 2015. My husband and friends knew we were at a wonderful, beautiful garden. The sculptures are amazing.

We are Blessed.” Familyof 8-2017, Los Angeles, CA, TRIP ADVISOR Website

1/8/17 – “It was a moving experience last October 2016, when myself, husband and friends visited The Empty Cross shrine in Kerrville, TX. We spent 30 days in Fredericksburg in our motorhome. My husband and I have lived in the Houston area for almost 47 years and never heard of this wonderful place. Since our visit , we have shared it with as many as the LORD puts in our path. I filled out a prayer request on a rock, knowing very well how He answers our prayer requests that are aligned with His will. We were greeted by an awesome retired Houston police officer (Blair Guidry) who was happy to share his testimony. We are both retirees of law enforcement in the Houston area and both of us have had our own Born-again experience, which changed our lives! Since then we cannot share Him and His blessings enough. At the end of January and months to follow, we want to donate $50 for the maintenance and expansion of the prayer garden. We will be spending the month of October this year in Fredericksburg again, God willing. You can be sure we will visit The Empty Cross more than once while there. Thank you for all the work you are doing for His Kingdom. I feel the time is getting close and there is so much work to be done! Know this, none of our efforts, He promises, will be in vain. Mother Theresa said, ‘Nowhere does God demand us to be successful, He does command us to be FAITHFUL in the trying.’ Be blessed today.” Donald and Janice Jenkins, Baytown, TX

I made notes this morning of the things that touched me. There were many. I think I was expecting a powerful presence, but what I experienced was very sweet and gentle, like a soft warm rain. I saw in my mind as I was falling asleep last night the garden from the west with heaven open above it and backlit in golden light was so much sparkling glitter falling like snow, pouring out over the edges of the clouds and covering the hill top. So beautiful. Hard to describe... Even for me. So grateful to you Max, and Sherry, for all your work and faith and perseverance.

12/23/16 – “Dear Max, I want to share my miracle of healing inside of The Empty Cross last month, and also tell you of my connection with you and Sherry. I met you and your family at Keith Lamb’s church (Grace Bible Chapel) when your daughter was young. My sister, Janet, who still lives in Texas, took me to see your sculpture of Jesus and Peter sitting on a hill at Living Waters Retreat Center. It was an amazing spiritual experience for both of us, as we drove around the curve and saw the life-size sculpture. After that, she bought me a Print of it that has been hanging in our home for years. I still have a file of your brochures from a long time ago. Janet wanted to take my husband, Jim, and me to experience the power of God in the Cross in Kerrville, since the opening of The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden. She has taken people there many times and tried to describe the presence of God experienced on the inside. We were able to visit The Empty Cross this fall. The Cross and the presence of God experienced there is really indescribable! We were so very blessed to be able to be there in person and to be healed while there. Max, your obedience to Jesus as He directed you to build the Cross is our modern day Noah’s Ark, even with people laughing at your plan. We are so very grateful that you and Sherry listened to God’s voice and obeyed. I am sending an account of my healing inside of the Cross, on October 15, 2016, separately for your records. My heart and prayers are always for you. Blessings.” Nancy House, Colorado Springs, CO

12/23/16 – “To The Coming King Foundation: I am from Colorado Springs, CO and was recently visiting my sister from Georgetown, TX, who has visited the Garden several times. She was so amazed at God’s powerful presence each time she was inside the Cross, and was excited to take us there. We visited on October 15, 2016. Before heading to Texas, I had a biopsy appointment on my thyroid glands canceled due to being on pain meds for a broken arm. It was rescheduled for October 20th, when I returned. Inside the Cross, God healed my thyroid glands and my broken arm, as we prayed in the Spirit. All praise to our Healer! My thyroid biopsy was benign and my arm had no pain. I am still awed at Max Greiner’s obedience to God’s detailed plan for this place of Miracles.” Nancy House, Colorado Springs, CO

12/17/16 – “FINDING GOD! Whenever I visit this place, I can totally feel the strong presence of God flowing through me. When I see the statute of Jesus on the white horse, I feel compelled to fall on my knees! That statue is so intricately detailed that it even shows the veins on the horse! As I walk through the prayer garden, stopping to read what someone has wrote from the depths of their heart, I am enveloped in a spiritual experience. Standing under the 77 ft. 7 in. open cross and raising my hands to heaven, I can feel the electric power of God! I highly recommend this place as a place of solitude and meditation with the Lord or as a place to bring your friends and family.” Ona. M., TRIP ADVISOR Website

What I found "touching" from visiting were the people immersed in prayer at the site. People together appreciating and expressing their Faith in various ways. Wonderful scriptures and works of art to see. I also enjoyed the Rock Garden; an area designated for people to write on actual rocks and place them along a Path to the side of the Cross; was motivating to read some of what people shared! “ Jesse M.

12/4/16 – “How do you rate a God work? The Cross at Kerrville is a Holy place. The Power and Presence of God is there. Miracles happen there. You need to go there. When you see the 77'7" cross from interstate 10 you'll know you're there. When you park and come into the garden, the sculptures will amaze you, but the Scriptures engraved in the path stones, to and from the Cross, is where you will connect with God. Take your time. Read them all. Let it work in you. When you come to the Cross, go inside. Read the walls. You will experience the Presence of God and be Touched in the places of your heart that you need to be Touched and Healed. If you have never given your heart to Jesus Christ, do it then and there and enter into the Relationship that will change your eternal destiny. It's all there for you. This place was built for the Glory of God and it is His and so He Is there. Write your prayer needs on a rock and place it on the Prayer Path. God Hears and Answers those prayers. So many people have reported miraculous answers to prayers left at the Cross. There is no charge to come to the Cross, either the one there at Kerrville or the one Jesus Gave His life on for us. Come. Come and be Blessed. Come and be Healed. Come and be Saved. There is Life at the Cross.” Gail G., TRIP ADVISOR Website

11/17/2016 - "Having met Max 10 or 11 years ago and been part of his intercessory prayer team since, I have followed the plans and development of the Sculpture Prayer Garden. My husband and I live in North Carolina and for some time my dream was to someday take a trip to Kerrville, TX and visit it. My husband finally made that dream come true for me and recently we not only visited the garden but we were privileged to spend some time with Max and his lovely wife Sherry. I was not the least bit disappointed in the garden. I was amazed at the beauty of it all. But I was most impressed with how scripture that is all about the gospel of Salvation is engraved in the stepping stones leading the way to the cross. Once one goes through the cross and perhaps has an encounter with Jesus, the scripture stones leading away tell how to live a Spirit-filled life. It is quite an encounter no matter where one is spiritually. Before we left the area, my husband and I went to the garden early that morning and had our devotions and prayer time together. We couldn't think of a better way to end this very special visit." Miriam Hayes, Ashville, NC

11/18/16 – “I’ve lived here for 25 years, originally from Houston. I consider this my home. My favorite landmark is The Empty Cross!!! I was unsure of it when they were debating it. But, I absolutely love it! So do my husband and granddaughter!! No matter how I’m feeling, if I go out there, I ALWAYS leave feeling uplifted! Thank you Max, whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and praying with, for sharing your gift with the world.” Christye Harris, Kerrville, TX – “Letters To The Editor”, KERRVILLE DAILY TIMES

11/13/16 – “Admission to the Garden is free; only the office and maintenance staff receive a salary. I have been a volunteer Tour Guide/Chaplain since October 2010. I spend roughly five hours a week spending time with our many visitors; they come from all over the world; I have met people from China, South Africa, The Philippines, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rico, Columbia, Peru, Norway, England, Ireland, Scotland, most of the European Nations, Turkey Greece and Israel. In these United States, I have visited with folks from the 49th and 50th states, and well over half of the lower forty eight states. People come to the Cross and Garden for many reasons; prayer is the most often received request. The primary purpose for the Cross is to help the lost and lonely in this world find their way to an Eternal relationship with their Savior. This is a recent example; I was blessed this past Monday to help a young man, a recovering drug and alcohol addict, to enter that relationship. A few weeks ago my partner and I baptized a beautiful young lady from Italy. Just yesterday, Veterans Day, in two hours I visited with over sixty guests; many were first time visitors. We prayed for nearly all of them; they came for a variety of reasons. I have heard virtually every flattering adjective in the Thesaurus used to describe the Garden Cross, I hear AWESOME most every time a teen comes to the Garden for the first time.” Col. Bill Lewis (92) Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

10/24/16 – “I heard about The Empty Cross from KDRY radio station AM1100. My friend and I went to Kerrville together with my daughter and her grandchildren. I read the Word of God from the bottom up the way to the top, The Empty Cross. While I am reading the Word of God I was crying. My heart is crying to give Him thanks and praise for loving me and the people of the world. How great is His love for us, that He came down from Heaven to show us the Way, the Lift and the Truth, to save us. There is power in His name. There is power in the blood. There is power in the Cross. I would say to people who don’t know God, chose Jesus Christ and have a relationship with JESUS. Let us all come to the cross. I greatly appreciate all the staff who make this beautiful garden to HONOR and give thanks and praise to our great GOD , creator of Heaven and earth.” Amelia Vega, San Antonio, TX

10/23/16 – “DEFINITELY ADD this to your MUST SEE list! I had heard about The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden for the past few years, having heard the Artist/Sculptor share at a conference in 2013. I put it on my list of things to see. But it wasn't until this September 2016 that I was able to make good on that promise to myself. The Sculptures and the Prayer Garden were so much more impactful than I had expected. I really just wanted to stay and drink in the views, the sculptures, and the presence of God when you arrive on the grounds. When I am in the area again, I will definitely make the trip to see it. However, I will plan for more time to be there. Next time I will bring my journal and find a place to sit, listen, write, ponder, meditate, and commune with God.” Jantel, West Lafayette, IN – TRIP ADVISOR Website

10/22/16 – “Be Lifted Up! I've been to this place alone, with my wife, with friends, with others, and every single time, the response is "Wow" ... I have been so lifted up there, and more importantly Jesus is lifted up. The power in the symbolism of the art is a reflection of the real power of His Presence. Many miracle testimonies have come from this place. One of my best friends received his first baby with his wife after years of trying, shortly after some prayer time up there. God is everywhere, yes, but this is one of those places... where the veil is thin between Heaven and Earth.” Jonah P, Kerrville, TX – TRIP ADVISOR Website

10/22/16 – “I now comprehend that the Cross & Garden are to be an end time Portal, or Gateway, into the very presence of God. A place where desperate people can cry out to and receive answers from The Living God. As such its creation must be treated with the utmost reverence and sanctity, reminiscent of the construction of the Temple or Tabernacle. I

100

believe there will be a direct correlation between the level of respect given in the construction and operation of the facility, and the amount of outpouring of the Holy Spirit on those seeking an answer to prayers made there. ‘The Temple that I'm building will be Great, because the Greatness of our God surpasses that of all gods’. II Chronicles 2:5 ISV” Ted Beckett, Colorado Springs, CO

10/11/16 – “I went to the Cross on my birthday, 10/4/16. My Mom passed away from cancer more than a year ago, and all my brothers and sisters abandoned me because I love Jesus Christ. I have always love them and respected them, and I have shared the Jesus Gospel for over 40 years. My husband of 43 years, a blessing from God to me, is having health problems and I myself am disabled due to being hit by a car years ago. In February, I began to experience excruciating pain in my spine and even taking strong narcotics did not help the pain. Still I have cried but am trusting in Jesus Christ. My daughter took me to the LORD’s mountain in Kerrville and I felt I was entering God’s Heavens! I sat beneath that Wonderful Cross and honestly, in seconds, I was restored and felt a huge burden taken off my shoulders. I began to weep for joy! God told me everything was going to be alright. When my daughter took me to a barrel of rocks, so I could write my petition to God, the first rock I picked up was so smooth on top. When I turned it over, in very faint letters it read: ‘I LOVE YOU!’. WOW! God put that rock there just for me. I am truly grateful for your Prayer Garden. I have not had the pain I was experiencing. Jesus IS LORD and He is our true Healer! I am praying for my husband’s healing now. I have already spoken to our Pastor to go visit with the church. To God be all the Glory and thank you, all the founders and volunteers of this wonderful and miraculous Prayer Garden! God bless you all, in Christ’s love.” Ruth Villanueva

10/4/16 – “I remember my thoughts when the uproar over the cross was peaking (2005 – 2010). I wondered how a community with over sixty Christian congregations could not rejoice at the opportunity to have such a magnificent symbol of His love prominently perched on that perfect site. I thank the Lord often for giving you and Sherry wisdom and the stamina to ride out the storm and rejoice when all of the clouds of doubt were erased and the devil's agent discovered that you could do all things because you were empowered by the Spirit of the Master. Isn't it great to know our Guy is sooooooo much Bigger than the bad guy and his minions? It was a good read in spite of the fact you gave me a lot more ink than I deserved.” Col.

Chaplains are on site to answer questions or pray with visitors. There is a prayer rock garden where you can select a rock and write your prayer on it. Garden is open until midnight but take a flashlight. Lovely, spiritual experience. I will be telling friends, family and strangers about this one.” Anonymous, TRIP ADVISOR Website

10/1/16 – “The numbers keep growing and I have never had a single critical visitor; they all love what they see and do nothing but praise the overall design, the individual art pieces and the over-whelming beauty. It is common to hear the expression that they feel so close to God when they are on His mountain. As you are aware, many miraculous healings have occurred; a very large number of our guests find the Empty Cross and the Garden a wonderfully comforting place to pray and meditate. Those of us who spend volunteer time on the Mountain share the feelings of our guests; it truly is a holy place. My favorite encourager and loyal prayer, Linda, was here praying and encouraging me yesterday. We are really blessed to have her as a friend and co-worker.” Col. Bill Lewis (92), TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

9/27/16 – “Very Peaceful Place! The 77'7" cross you see from I-10 is not just a cross for travelers to see. There is actually a prayer garden with lots of statues, scriptures, and interesting historical information. You can write a prayer on a rock and leave in the garden. It is very much worth your stop. Admission is free but there is a donation box. “ Alexandertx, Silsbee, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

9/27/16 – “All Visitors Welcome! My intrepid sidekick was not available for this sojourn but maybe that made for a better visit. Not sure that this biblical theme was up his alley. Back to my visit. Seeing the Empty Cross was not a problem from I-10, it was finding the road that led to it without GPS. Still, after winding my way to the top of the hill, one was met with signs to be respectful of others before entering the garden. The garden is laid out in the form of a cross with a paved path embedded with Scripture Tiles every 12 feet. There five bronze sculptures installed within the cross by one of three Christian artists that have donated their work for the garden. The top of the cross is occupied by an impressive 77'7" reddish-brown Empty Cross. Sitting in its shadow, it inspires that awe feeling that one gets when visiting gothic cathedrals. You can sit and listen to the worship music that surrounds the cross up until midnight. The cross is lit at night to maybe guide those who have lost their way in the dark. During daylight hours, you get a nice view of the Hill Country of Kerr county. A must see icon if only for a breathtaking view.” Kelilka14, Kerrville, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

9/26/16 – “I just love The Empty Cross, I feel His presence as I lay my needs out for Him; I come to the Cross each time I visit Kerrville.” Anonymous, Mason, TX

9/26/16 – “My sister from Colorado, Mary Jean and her severely handicapped son, Vincent came to visit me in Kerrville Texas. I had told Mary Jean about the Cross and how one could sense God's presence when visiting the Cross. While out to dinner with friends, the subject of Angel Orbs and Glory Dust came up. Two of my friends, Tommy and Lana, showed her pictures and shared how God announced His presence by sprinkling Glory Dust on people, especially after prayer up at the Cross. The very next day, I drove my Mary Jean and Vincent up to the Cross for prayer, blessings, and enjoy this magnificent place. Karl Jack, a Tour Guide Chaplain, happened to be up there on duty, so I introduced Mary Jean to Karl and asked Karl to pray in Tongues over Vincent. Karl said he had a confirmation from God to sing a blessing in Tongues over Vincent. Karl sings in an ancient Jewish dialect, so he has been told. Karl does not speak this language or understand it! It is a gifted prayer language he sings. When Karl placed his hand on Vincent's shoulder and began to sing; my sister Mary Jean stated she felt God's blessings in this prayer. After Karl finished, I looked at my hand and could see a little Glory Dust. Mary Jean had placed her right hand on Vincent during the prayer, being sung in Tongues. I asked her to check her hand and it was heavily sprinkled with Glory Dust. Mary Jean was amazed, as the first time she had

experienced this, was at this very moment. She had only learned of it the night before. To have God manifest His presence at this time and in this way blessed both Mary Jean and Vincent. Needless to say Mary Jean was amazed and very thankful for this special gift from God.” Jim Musso, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

9/26/16 – “Worth The Stop. It is up on a hill and you can see the cross from the highway. It is free and worth the stop. It is very peaceful and the cross and the sculptures are beautiful. There is a prayer garden where rocks and markers are provided. There was a pastor there who was available for prayer or to answer questions. I brought my handicapped mother who uses a cane. The area with the cross and sculptures were nicely paved. The prayer stone area was not paved, was a bit rough but flat enough. There are no actual restrooms, so be sure to use the facilities before coming. There were two port-a- potties that I saw down in the parking area, but with my mother being handicapped we did not want to try using them. There was limited handicap parking. It is on an incline, but I drove up and got my mother out and then parked.” Lisa G. San Antonio, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

9/17/16 – “Living in Jerusalem and doing ministry in Israel for over 10 years with Messianic Believers. I walk up to this hill and cross and it reminds me of being in Jerusalem, walking at an incline, the rocks, flowers and atmosphere is so evident to that of the garden Tomb in Jerusalem. Outside the garden Tomb is the hustle and bustle of buses, noises, beggars and traffic. The instant you walk into the garden Tomb, the atmosphere of His presence and peace emanates. Truly the same Spirit of the Lord is present here, with white doves flying and landing there in the garden. MATTHEW 23:34: I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” Judy F.

9/14/16 – “A while back I had something on my head that kept getting bigger. I was at a doctor visit when I remembered to take my hat off to let the doctor see. After a small gasp, the doctor said that's melanoma and you need to get it removed right away! I went to church on Wednesday night and asked for the pastor and an elder to come and command this melanoma on my head to dry up and fall off in 3 days! They did. Late Saturday we took a lady to the cross, and my wife reminded me we should pray for that growth on my head while we were there... When they anointed it with oil they both commented on how dry, hard and brittle it had become. That's when I realized that exactly 3 days had passed from Wednesday. It began to crumble and fall off. The next day was Sunday and when the pastor asked for prayer, I motioned for him and the same elder to come and pray for this thing on my head. As they started toward me I said, "If you can find it!" The congregation swarmed me to come and see what GOD had done, because they all knew it was there Wednesday but it is gone now. I had to point to where it was because there wasn't even a scar left from it. PTL!” David Bird, Ingram, TX

9/13/16 – “An Unforgettable Experience! When you drive to Kerrville on I-10 and Hwy 16 you see the Empty Cross on the hill and know this is a special and holy place. The statues were beautiful as were the grounds. We loved the beautiful music playing in the background while we were looking at the amazing statues and reading about their meaning. The prayer rock gardens were breathtaking in their simplicity and seeing so many prayers in so many languages was something we won't forget. Thank you to Max Greiner, Jr, his wife and all who have worked so hard on these beautiful grounds that glorify our Savior. It is a must see for Christians and those who want to know more about the love our God has for us.” Bemaof2, TRIP ADVISOR Website

9/11/16 – ”Dr. Sandra Steen and I drove up to the Open Cross from San Antonio late Saturday afternoon. As we drove onto the property and made our way up into the prayer garden, the presence of the Lord was gloriously manifest. The whole trip was worth it just to experience His presence in the prayer garden. Thank you, Max, for your willing spirit and openness to follow the voice of the Lord to create such a magnificent display of Who the Lord Jesus Christ is. While we were there, I prayed for many more people to be encouraged to come and experience His presence in the prayer garden, and to take their place at the foot of the cross - receiving Jesus as their Savior. Although it was my first trip to the Open Cross, I am sure it won't be my last. Such peace emanates from the property, surely goodness and mercy will meet everyone who stops to see what Jesus can and will do for them. Your obedience has blessed my life. Thank you! Shalom!” Laura Nieminen, West Lafayette, IN

I was so impressed. It was a hot day but one of the older volunteer chaplains was there and he was so gracious, loving, and kind. I was very impressed with him. I love the way you had the scripture verses all along the pathway going to and from the cross. It was a moving experience and I am so happy that the Lord provided the funds for you to have this.

I believe my husband gave his heart to the LORD on one of our five visits here. He was so profoundly moved as we viewed the cross in the moonlight, near midnight on our first visit, that we came back again two days later on our way back to Houston. Since then, on every visit to this area we make it a point to stop by and visit. He feels especially close to the LORD in this place. Listening to the struggles and spiritual opposition you experienced in your efforts to build this place to the glory of God, I don’t doubt that God has His special hand on this sacred spot.

I am putting together an end time Army who will walk in obedience to My commands and together We will conquer Satanic strongholds, set the captives free and bring them into the Kingdom of God. This world is going to be assaulted with Goodness, Light and Truth. The world will be forced to choose between evil and darkness, or freedom and light. There will be a battle raging for the souls of men, women and children. This Prayer Garden is an equipping place for My people to hear My voice. If you design the Garden as I show you it will be a place where My presence dwells. I will be available to meet with people and put them on My track, for their assignments and their life.

8/19/16 – “Spiritual. My husband and I are not really religious, more spiritual. We had friends suggest we go. So, one day out driving around we decided to see what people were raving about. When pulling into the entrance, you see a statue on left - Beautiful art work. As you’re going toward the top, where the humongous cross is, the view is what helps you understand why it was placed there. There are many statues that are based on scriptures, I believe. On the ground, there are also written scriptures. There also are Prayer Stones where you can write prayers, blessing or whatever gives you hope, and an area to place them. Remember we are not really religious, but you get this feeling of belonging. Take time to see this, no matter your beliefs.” Blsmss, Kerrville, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

8/15/16- "This is a new way of drawing people into a relationship with Me. You have the land that I gave you. Do the plan in the way that I reveal to you. I will give you a plan that will work in Fountain. Many thousands will come into a relationship with Me in the Garden. Millions will renew their relationship with Me. I will meet them there.

The Scripture Garden must be a place for people to encounter Me in all My glory, majesty, love and sacrifice. The Authority of the Believer must be imbued into My followers to make them an Army. I am shaking My people and waking them up to the hour they are living in.

Come back to Me, My Beloved. Come and sit at My feet and learn of Me, that you can go out strong to set the captives free of demonic bondage. Free to Worship, Adore and Love Me. My creation has been estranged from Me, but I am calling it back.

The Empty Cross is the symbol of suffering and shame which I endured to break the chains of darkness and set the captives free. The Cross is My symbol of My love for My people that knows no bounds. The Cross is My symbol of repentance, forgiveness and a changed life. My love, sets the captive free”. Prophetic Word by Audrey Beckett, Colorado Springs, CO

7/29/16 – “This cross, garden, sculptures and whole experience have made such a dramatic impression on my husband since we visited two years ago. I believe my husband gave his heart to the LORD on one of our five visits here. He was so profoundly moved as we viewed the cross in the moonlight, near midnight on our first visit, that we came back again two days later on our way back to Houston. Since then on every visit to this area we make it a point to stop by and visit. He feels especially close to the LORD in this place. Listening to the struggles and spiritual opposition you experienced in your efforts to build this place to the glory of God, I don’t doubt that God has His special hand on this sacred spot.

Now many of us proudly regard it as a Divine admonition. I thank the Lord for you and Sherry, and the sacrifices you have made to turn His vision into a reality. Thank you for making it possible for so many to experience the joy that flows forth, when one feels he is in the presence of the living Lord. It truly is a joy to play in His Garden with His kids.” Col. Bill Lewis, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

7/12/16 – “Shekinah Glory! There definitely is the Shekinah glory filling this place! From the beautiful sculptures to the giant cross to the pathways etched with scriptures in different languages--God's Spirit is sweet. People's prayers written on rocks and placed beside walkways lend a holy, sacred feel. The big surprise came when I stood inside the cross, read the sign and it said how I might see little pieces of glitter on my hands. I did!! So did my husband. We visited on Labor Day weekend last fall (2015) and I have had the glory glitter on my hands ever since (July 2016). It is only visible in sunlight or other bright lights. It was an answer to prayer that I had been praying--that God would pour out His Shekinah glory on me and my family. It has strengthened my faith and blessed me to no end to be able to tangibly see that God loves me and is with me.” Martha H. - TRIP ADVISOR Website

By the time we left there, my back pain had gone away. And, ever since then my back pain has left my body. God has answered my prayer.

This day was one of the best, and most memorable of my 28 years. The atmosphere is serene, peaceful, anointed, and there is a vast amount of understanding and wisdom to be gained for any human being who has the privilege to bask in His Glory. The music plays continuously on the top of the hill, and it echoes off the hills of Kerrville to this day, in my ear. This is known for the garden of rocks that will echo for generations, prayer requests that individuals PERSONALIZE prayers. I am looking forward to the next time I visit.

6/17/16 - "Hello Mr. Greiner. I was at the prayer garden in Kerrville this past Monday morning the 13th. I was sitting by the cross, while you and your wife and two other gentlemen and a lady were standing under the cross talking, praying and taking pictures. It was a sad day for me. As I sat there, I was asking God to bring someone to pray with me. As all of you began to walk away, you turned around and pointed to me and said something along the lines of: ‘Young lady, whatever it is you are here for and praying for....’ I then began to tear up, as I was so touched by your words. Everyone else turned around to look at me, and someone said can we pray with you. More tears began as I said yes. One gentleman came over to me and took my hand and walked me under the cross, we formed a circle and we all placed our hands on top of each other. I apologized for my crying, I was so overtaken that five people noticed me, saw my pain and took the time to pray with me, and talk to me. If I ever needed to feel God's love and presence, it was that day, and boy did I ever. I felt the Holy Spirit in a mighty way, as the prayers went up. As I told all of you, that was my daughter's ‘Angel’ date. She died ten years ago from cervical cancer. I recently had to sell my home because of a divorce, which was final May 19th. I have no home, am staying with friends in San Antonio, and my life is packed into a storage unit. I feel lost, alone, confused and like I am hanging in space, not knowing where to go. But Monday, because five amazing people noticed me at the cross, I at least feel some HOPE now. I know God heard our prayers and is working in my behalf. I claim that He has something wonderful in store for me, and as your wife said, she feels that God will reveal His plans for my life soon, and I will know without a doubt what it is, that is Hope to me. I noticed who you and your wife were that day, that was exciting to meet such a gifted, Godly artist. I hope you don't mind me emailing you, but I think it is important to let you know how all of you impacted my life that day, and that you blessed me. I look forward to emailing you in the near future, to let you know how God answered my prayers. I have a long story of many difficulties in my life and I have overcome many trials, so I share my testimony with people that are placed in my path, that need to hear how I made it through this journey. Thank you for your time. Peace and blessings to you." Anonymous, San Antonio, TX.

6/13/16 - "My wife Kelle and I took the opportunity to go to the Garden this past Sunday before 10:30 church service and were pleasantly surprised at the number of visitors who came wanting prayer. One story in particular we wanted to share was of three sisters from Austin... One of the sisters could barely walk as another helped her out of the car to sit on the rock wall. I went over to help them and discovered that Pat (the sister in the wheelchair) really didn’t want to be there, but because of her sister’s encouragement decided to come... As we got close to the cross we heard God telling us we should go ask these three sisters if they needed prayer. When we asked them, Pat said with a joyful voice ‘I was hoping ya’ll would pray for me’. She asked if we would pray for healing from Arthritis that was crippling her; primarily in her knees, which was preventing her from walking without a wheelchair. So, we all laid hands on her and began to pray. God began to work right away as Pat’s hands were freed from Arthritis immediately! She could now easily move her wrists, hands, and fingers without any pain, all the stiffness was gone! As we continued to pray, God healed her knees! I asked her to get up out of the wheelchair, and as she got up, she realized that the pain in her knees was gone, and that she could walk on her own without pain! We began to walk from The Coming King sculpture to Jesus, the Fisher of Men; as Pat and I walked she had tears of joy, and telling me how thankful she was that God had healed her...With great joy she told us she now knew that God loves her, and that she was looking forward to her new life."

Linda Forse, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

4/23/16 - "Max and all, I have never experienced a more beautiful afternoon on the Mountain. I couldn’t keep up with our guests. Those of you who have not made a recent trip to the garden are missing the magic that (volunteer Gardener) Kathy (Lyles) and her crew have performed. The Garden is a magnificent combination of Max’s imagination and Kathy’s creativity. It gets more beautiful every day. There was much going on when arrived; the lot was full of vehicles and the grounds had people going in every direction. Randy greeted me, followed by Johnny, Jeff and Barbara were soon on the scene, Kathy and her crew never slowed down. I was so busy with trying to take care of that mob scene, I visited with fifteen guest groups, over forty individuals, and that does not include the Coming King Gang. Neither does it count the many more I did not have time to visit; there had to be close to a hundred roaming around the Garden and the mediation paths during my two hours on the Mountain. I had visitors from Maine, California, Oregon, Iowa, the Valley, Houston, New York, Odessa, many from San Antonio and the immediate area, Austin and the Metro-Plex were represented. It was a tourist day but a lot of people needed prayer; four young ladies from Schreiner College asked for prayer." Col. Bill Lewis (92) TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

Its free and beautiful. Recommend at least 30 minutes, but I spent ninety and felt like I wanted to stay longer." PapaBull, Laytonsville, Maryland - TRIP ADVISOR Website

As we entered the center of the Cross, the WIND blew over us, through us and among us, as we prayed for each other. Then, the MIRACLE happened! Harry had a knee replaced several years ago. And since then, he has never been pain free in his knee, and recently his leg has swollen considerably. After releasing God's healing anointing and speaking words of restoration and rejuvenation over him, the pain LEFT his knee. He has been pain free since yesterday afternoon. The second part of his HEALING became evident as we all looked at his knee this morning. The swelling has DISSOLVED. His knee is now PAIN FREE and DECREASING in SIZE. They left this morning, refreshed and blessed experiencing an ongoing miraculous HEALING. We wanted to share this today, so you would know that the Prayer Garden will be shared with their friends and family in Massachusetts." Tom & Mary Pucci, TCKF TOUR GUIDE CHAPLAINS, Kerrville, TX

3/2/16 - "Awe-inspiring! I have been wanting to go see The Empty Cross for some time. I had only seen it from the freeway. I was very impressed with the scriptures everywhere. There was a peace there. We went to see it three different times of the day, the one day we were there. Very glad we went!" Suzanne F, Corpus Christi, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

3/1/16 - "In late 2014 I visited The Empty Cross for the first time. I am 26 years old. The last 13 years of my life, I spent in the chains of drug addiction, abusive relationships and no sense of hope. In October of 2014 Jesus saved me. In November of 2014, I visited the cross and prayed for healing and deliverance. (Plaque #3 inside Cross). Since December 2014, I have been set free from drugs and alcohol. I am sold out, bought by the blood Believer! Praise God! Coming back here reminds me how far He (Jesus) has brought me, and how far He still has to take me. Thank you."

3/1/16 - "Anniversary Trip! Inspirational, Christian, prayer garden. Beautiful sculptures and cross that can be seen from miles away. We found reading and following the scripture stones to be especially meaningful. Our visit gave our day a positive beginning- spent meditating on Jesus." Bethany G., TRIP ADVISOR Website

2/26/16 - "Free Prayer Garden right off IH-10 in Kerrville! We spotted 'The Empty Cross' from IH-10 and since we were spending the night in town, drove over to see it. And we were so thankful we did! Not only is there a 77 foot 7 inch cross, there are several sculptures and works of art and flower gardens in this free park, open to everyone. Gospel music played as we walked around and took pictures. What really touched me were the 'Prayer Rocks,' with prayer requests or answers or scriptures written on them, some obviously by young children. I don't think you can enter this prayer garden without feeling the Lord's presence! Thanks to all the donors." SandSPortage, TRIP ADVISOR Website

2/26/16 - "A beautiful place filled with energy! It doesn't cost anything to go here. There isn't anyone stopping you asking for money, but there is a place to make a contribution and get more information. I went here about 7:25 in the morning and the place was magnificent. A huge, rugged cross, religious statues, an incredible view, and a feeling of energy that I have felt in very few places." djfluth, Del Rio, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

Thank you for being so faithful! This book (Transforming Austin) has made me realize why I have such a fire for your (God's) Prayer Garden that you created! This vision was birthed in Austin by prophecy. I believe God wants a garden in Austin, for the coming city wide revival and transformation. That is the vision God has given me and I wanted you to have this book that made this all so clear for me. Thank you for ALL you do and all the lives you have touched for Jesus!" Susan Casey, Austin, TX

2/13/16 - "Amazing Sculptures That Make You Think. I had not heard of this place before, going to Kerrville, but was glad I noticed an ad about it in a restaurant. This prayer garden is a work in progress, but what they have done is amazing. The cross and biblical sculptures tell the story of Christianity in a very profound way. Part of the walkway is lined with hundred of rocks that people have put their prayers and thoughts on. It is located on the top of hill that is quiet, along with a special area for those who wish to meditate." Kevin H., Mansfield, TX, TRIP ADVISIOR Website

2/10/16 - "Dear Max, we stopped by as we passed through. Looks great - everything you dreamed of - almost. I am sure it will come to completion." Pastor, Jimmy Lammers, Luling, TX

2/9/16 - "Thank you. I don't have much. I really hope $50 can help a little. My experience visiting the Cross was Amazing. I will return. I just thank God so much for what He has blessed me with. I was lost, empty and confused. Visiting The Coming King Foundation park gave me fullness in my mind and heart. I will be back. Thank you. It's a very comfortable, peaceful, thank you God. God bless you all." Veronica

2/9/16 - "On January 21, 2015, I was hit by a woman while she drove a vehicle that wasn't hers, and ran into my Tahoe while I was parked, waiting on the light to turn green. This accident cost me, tore my rotator cuff and damaged four discs in my neck, and cost me my Sue. And, not to mention the debt it has caused. But regardless, through all this, I thank God I am here (at the garden) February 9, 2016, alive with my family. My experience at the Cross was amazing, feeling God healed me of my way of thinking. This place is beautiful. Thank you very much. God bless you all. AMEN." Anonymous

2/4/16 - "Good morning Max! I just had to share my experience at the Garden this past Tuesday, after you had left us and rejoined the 700 Club crew. Thank you by the way for taking time with the ladies to pray over each one and to share your God story of you and Sherry on CD. We listened to it all the way back to Austin and it was especially significant as you prayed over the group of ladies, when it was being recorded, because it was as if you were with us in person again, praying for the fruits of the Spirit, forgiveness, and the fullness of God! That was amazing!!! But that's not the story I wanted to share. Here it is: After we had prayed in the Holy of Holies (inside the 77'7" cross), I took the ladies to write our prayers on rocks. All of my prayer rocks, except one are located at the base of a tree, on the path behind The Great Commission. So, I was off by myself in my special spot. I had just placed the three rocks, that I brought over and stood up to take a picture, to capture the moment. I was contemplating moving and retaking the picture so the rock would have a direct line through the split of the tree, and to the Cross, when a butterfly landed on my thumb!!! A butterfly landed on my thumb!! At once I recognized the significance! All these years I've been battling, like the caterpillar who came into the cocoon with all my junk, and I've been trying to get out, break free.....all this time, and when the butterfly landed on my

133

thumb, God gave me a visual sign, that this battle is finished!!! I have emerged from the cocoon the person God needs me to be, to go forward on the right path, in the right way, and for the right reasons! Isn't our God magnificent!!!! I had to tell you because your butterfly (Greiner logo) was the first thing I noticed when we arrived on Tuesday. There was a white SUV with your resurrection butterfly (decal) on the right side of the window. When we pulled in behind it, it was the first thing I saw! Then, when Debbye took a picture of our group, butterflies were flying all over my girlfriend’s blanket. We all noticed it, just before we left the Garden. Isn't God so good!!! Thank you for having the courage to follow God's leadings and create such a powerful place for us to be in the presence of God! My heart comes alive when I am up there, and when I think of how good He has been to me to bring me this far....and to meet you! May God continue to bless you on your journey. I will do my best to bring as many people to the Garden and to bring the Garden to Austin! Believing God's BEST!" Susan Casey, Austin, TX

2/2/16 - "Beautiful! Can't say enough good things about this magnificent place! A work of art, but so much more!!! Very peaceful and a beautiful view." skm9253, Ingram, TX TRIP ADVISOR Website

2/1/16 - "A very beautiful place. Thank you for this place." MFAC, Sonora, TX

1/30/16 - "WOW, the feelings I get in the cross! I have been here three times and all for different reasons. Yesterday, I had to go and be with the Lord Jesus. My mother passed on Thursday three days ago and my heart was in pain of her death, but when I came to the cross I could feel Him releasing and healing the pain in me. I know now my mom is at peace and her sickness is gone. She is back with my grandparents, aunts, sisters, brother and my dad and her husband, Ed." TJR 1960, Fort Stockton, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

1/30/16 - "I just wanted to share with you all my day today. God is so awesome and I love, love, love it when He shows off. One day I will take a tablet and write down all the names and places where people come from and until then here is the synopsis. First, let me say how I came to go there (to the garden) today. I went to Home Depot to buy a push broom. Never been there before. It is across town. That is so funny because I moved here in 1996 from Dallas. I have assimilated! Then, going to my truck, that still small voice said 'go to the Mountain'. That thrilled me so just to 'hear' His (God's) voice! When I got there, (Tour Guide Chaplain) Ron Peterson was just leaving. I had my (Guide) apron in the truck but couldn't find my badge. That just meant everyone I approached, I had to introduce myself. Like most of us, it was just overwhelming to be a part of so many visitors. From as far as Wisconsin to Port Lavaca, first timers, to those returning many times. They just kept coming...I lost count. I stayed from noon to 2pm. And yes, it is possible to get a tan in January!! A few of the highlights included a returner that brought marking pens for the Prayer Rocks (we were low the last time she came) and felt this was just as much as service to us as anything. Another was the couple that was taking 'professional' pictures of the sculptures with a fantastic camera. I caught him (with permission) later and that is the picture attached. Then, I looked down and saw it....the Glory Dust...after I prayed with a lady asking for prayer for a sister in Christ, that was diagnosed with cancer. Both of us had it all over our hands!!! What a thrill!! Several people saw us looking at our hands and came over to see what was happening. As we looked, it came upon those standing around!!! I

134

saw others afar off begin looking at their hands...it was just the coolest thing....God showing off!!! I left shortly afterward. The Glory Dust was still on my hands by the time I got home. I am just overwhelmed by Him (God). What a privilege to serve at the Empty Cross. Oh yes, one lady, as I was about to leave, who I had spoken with earlier, came to me for a hug. Then she prayed the most beautiful prayer FOR ME, and how blessed she felt for meeting me. Oh Lord, how Great You are." Becky Flowers, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

1/31/16- "Max, I was so blessed to meet you at Charles Robinson's Tipping Point Conference in 2013, and one other time brother. Yesterday, I went up to the Sculpture Garden with some friends to celebrate a couple's 20 Anniversary. We all had a wonderful time spiritually, and in every way. So, I pray the Father continues to bless, multiple and flourish the work there, and in multiplying it around the world. For your information, a sister who came with us said you that had read some words I had written about the Garden, on your radio program. I was not aware of your program. But, I was honored and glad that you were able to use a few of my words. But, as I was telling some friends on FACEBOOK, about the Garden, and replying to one who asked of the location, the LORD put on my heart to write: Wonderful, peaceful Hill Country oasis, at the intersection of the Texas Hill Country and Heaven!...I don't want to sound presumptuous, but of course the Holy Spirit dropped that in my spirit. But, if that might be helpful in some way, please feel free to use it in anyway you like. God bless you brother, your family, team and ministry." Van S. Mabrito, San Antonio, TX

1/28/16 - "Dear Nancy and TCKF, We love you guys and all you do. Our 7th trip up to the Cross was wonderful. We love bringing others up there. Here is our January Tithe support. See you soon. By the way, our Singles group was so touched by the service during the recent Blood Moon. We loved singing songs to Jesus as the (Shofar) horns were being blown. We love hearing the stories of the trials and victory." Fred & Shanna Duncan, Boerne, TX

1/26/16 - "Such a great and beautiful place, I love the feeling while inside the cross. I can feel the Lord." Therese Renouf, FACE BOOK

1/26/16 - "Wow! THANK YOU JESUS! I really love this place. I was at The Miracle Center Church on 3751 Commercial in San Antonio and I looked at (Sculptures of) JESUS Christ with net and JESUS washing the feet, showing servant-hood, and noticed it was Max's artwork. I was so excited. I shared the pamphlets and connection with your artwork. It's amazing how many people didn't know about this garden, but said they were going to visit. Thank You Jesus. Thank you all very much for this beautiful place Y'ALL built. I would like to attend a service there one day. Keep me posted please, and again thanks! God BLESS!" Joe Cruz, San Antonio, TX

1/24/16 - "Max and Sherry, I just watched the drone video (of the garden) and it blessed my socks off!!!! When I visited the cross it changed my life. If God had just poured His Glory Dust on one of us, someone would have tried to explain it away. He Dusted every one of us to give us a glimpse of His Miracles. A confirmation of His Healing for me. So excited to continue sharing His miracles!!!! The world is in desperate need for these beautiful testimonies RIGHT NOW!!! I hit my knees in a gravel parking lot at the cross. It was so powerful I began my worship with gravel in my knees!!!! Thank you both for listening and obeying." Lisa Alley, Fort Worth, TX

1/21/16 - "Very Moving! When we were up there it was freezing, but it was WELL worth the trip up there. The scripture is awesome, the statue of King Jesus on the white horse was tear-jerking because the Bible depicts this! The prayer rocks were a great idea and I

135

enjoyed listening to the music that was going. Would HIGHLY recommend visiting!" Kimberly C, Anna, TX

1/19/16 - "The power and presence of God was so strong and overwhelming, as the three of us met, it was hard for me to communicate all that I was seeing... It was like He (Jesus) was jumping up and down, crazy excited, shouting at you to keep going, don’t stop. Words of encouragement from Jesus to you just would not stop flowing. He is thrilled with all of you. All of you and your vision, and obedience was one of the leading things that impacted me greatly. What you are doing, is for the most part outside the box of what others are doing. But what you are doing is simply following Jesus, being true to the gifts and callings that He has put in you... You are influencing society and expanding the Kingdom of God through the arts, and other expressions of culture. For the Kingdom of God to bring true revival to a society, all segments of that society have to be impacted and transformed. This is what you are participating in and doing. A paradigm shift is needed for people to understand what you are doing. People need to shift their perspective to see things differently. God is invading the cultures of our society, not just the church culture. Each culture has its own leaders, language, and economy. Do not let people from other cultures of society discourage you. Press forward." Larry Hodgson, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

1/16/16 - "Dear fellow Christians, on December 28, 2015 we left Albuquerque, New Mexico and hit I-10 to take three grandkids, 6, 14.and 15 years, home after a visit to friends and the Grand Canyon. After dark we started stopping at exits to find a motel (No Vacancies at the Inns, HA!) but at midnight we stopped at a Best Western off I-10. Checking in, I saw a cross brochure, got it, and went to bed. The next morning I begged my husband to find the garden. The Manager of the motel said look up the hill. I then knew why God let us to be in Kerrville. Oh what a feeling of knowing this was the best of our trip, for all five of us. Thanks be to God. I have macular degeneration and our 15 year old grandson read all the Scripture Tiles to me on the path. He is one of seven children, in our youngest daughter's family. We have nine grandkids. Thank you for doing God's will. We have six more grandkids to take this blessing of a trip. Thank you." Patty Taylor, Conway, South Carolina

1/13/16 - "The sculpture of the mounted Coming King is really nice. We visited last year at New Year with my sister. This year my youngest son was with us. The hill top view of the hill country at Kerrville is beautiful enough, but being reminded of the Lord's presence makes it that much better. We are so pleased the garden and empty cross is here. It is hard to miss if you are traveling down Interstate 10." William J. Wood, TRIP ADVISOR Website

1/13/16 - Well I have lived in Fort Worth all my life. Happily married for 26 years. I have three beautiful daughters. I attend church at Normandale Baptist Church in Fort Worth. I grew up in the Church of God and was diagnosed with Cancer in 2011. It was a brain tumor the size of a large lemon. The doctors said it wasn't a matter of if it came back, but when. They gave me 18 months to live, tops!!!!! Glory to OUR AWESOME HEALER. I claimed my healing right away and continue to amaze my doctors. I'm not sure of the exact date, but my mother and sister-in-laws took a Girls Trip to Kerrville. We saw the cross from the road and decided to stop and see it on our way back home. I was so in awe when we got there

136

that I hit my knees and began to worship in the gravel parking lot!!!! We walked around and while standing in the cross we noticed the signs on the inside. I'm not much on structured prayer. I believe it comes from your heart and is different every time. However, we decided to pray the prayer on the plaque inside the cross anyway. We held out our hands, prayed and opened our eyes. We all had the sparkling of Glory Dust!!!!!! A miracle right before our eyes!!! I was so on fire that I could have run back to Fort Worth!!!! I sparkled for months after. I so enjoyed sharing my glorious dusting with everyone I knew, and strangers too!!!! I know my healing took place 2000 years ago, but what a confirmation of HIS presence I received at THE CROSS!!!" Lisa Alley, Fort Worth, TX

It makes my heart so happy to be able to write this! I will find the form I need to send in, but I was so excited after Steve told me that we could buy a bench, I wanted to let you know as quickly as possible!!! Thank you for your example, thank you for your obedience, thank you for your story, and thank you for the seed you have planted in my heart because of what you have walked out!

1/7/16 - "This is an amazing place!" Karen Kilgore, Kerrville, TX

1/5/16 - “What you are doing here, it is just phenomenal! I’m blown away! It is phenomenal! A lot is going on up there. God is doing a new thing, a new paradigm. He is not doing things the same way. This is phenomenal. A new portal has opened up on the top of that mountain. I feel like Moses walking up into the presence of God. The angels are coming there to resupply. This is phenomenal!” Larry Hodgson, Victoria, CANADA

1/2/16 - "Such amazing statistics (36,382 vehicles & 94,593 estimated Garden visitors for 2015) and yet they are more than that; people’s lives here on earth and for eternity. Thank you Jesus for all that you do in us and through us! Amen!" Kimberly Long, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

1/2/16 - I met you a few months back, after one of Pastor Greg's Kerrville meetings. You told me a little about the Cross and prayer gardens and I gave you my card for our movie BEHOLD A PALE HORSE ( which is now entitled REVELATION, Dawn of Global Government ) starring Charlie Daniels and General William Boykin. My husband and I wandered up the hill last week and were absolutely thrilled and blessed by what you have accomplished up there!!! And, what a beautiful testimony of faith it has been. We were incredibly moved by the story of the struggle to make it happen, and the hand of God moving on that mountain and in your hearts." Anita Untersee

Read the plaques posted on the inside of the 77'7" steel cross and experience the real-life miracles that occurred during the construction of this amazing place. The bronze art is phenomenal! I have traveled around the world and can't think of any place I've seen life-sized art that is any better than the pieces displayed on the cross-shaped walkway at the top of the mountain. Ample parking, piped music, amazing views, phenomenal art, I just can't say enough about the beauty and majesty of this place. AND IT'S FREE to visit! Take the time needed and give yourself the opportunity to one amazing blessing!" Sherryhub, Junction, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

The cross and the meaning (The Empty Cross ) as well as the sculptures are really amazing. If you happen to be in the area I say make a stop! It is free, spiritual and educating. I think the people that do not walk away feeling differently than when they started up the hill may want to work on their relationship with the Almighty one." Jeff B.

I came away with such a feeling of serenity." Connie L., Cincinnati, OH - TRIP ADVISOR Website

One foot was shorter than the other so much so that she always had to us a lift in her shoe. After praying over her, she told me today she no longer has any pain in her hip, knee or foot. Her foot definitely grew and she can continue her mile walks each day without pain at all. PRAISE the LORD! We should also add that (Tour Guide Chaplain) Karl Jack was there when we arrived, and he also prayed with us for Martha. He prayed and sang over us too for Josh's complete and total healing. So this was definitely a FULL SCALE PRAYER TIME by the Coming King Foundation Chaplains. We are looking ahead to the new year and serving fully on God's Mountain. We bless the wonderful work happening daily, weekly and monthly as we all see God's Kingdom Come on Earth as it is in Heaven!" Tom and Mary Pucci, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplains, Kerrville, TX

12/2/15 - "I feel so blessed to be connected, even in a small way, with mighty warriors like you who love Jesus and are willing to do what is asked for the Kingdom! When a strong man stands, it stiffens the spines of the weak. Thank you! I will be praying about your offer and am so honored to even be asked! I love the Prayer Garden and want to bring as many people as I can! Thank you again for your vision, your passion, and your example! Believing God’s BEST!" Susan Casey, Austin, TX

12/1/15 - "I am looking so forward to praying for people at the cross. I know how much it meant to me for Chris (Daniel) to pray for us when I went up the first time! I love praying for people; I love praying the Word of God over people! I’ll go through the (TOUR GUIDE CHAPLAIN) training material and then get with Jeff so I can get started. Thank you for this wonderful work you’ve begun on the hill for so many people to receive God’s Spirit and love! Abundant blessings to you!" Kimberly Long, Kerrville, TX (Tour Guide Chaplain Applicant)

11/30/15 - "Good evening, I wanted to send you all a quick note and let you know what an incredible experience I had at The Empty Cross a week or so ago. My students and I traveled to Kerrville for our schools state One Act Play Competition, planning to spend all of our time preparing and competing. Friday morning before our rehearsal, we sat in the lobby of our hotel and read through "Jesus Calling" as a cast (as we often do) and prayed for our day. One of the hosts at the front desk overheard us and mentioned your Prayer Garden as somewhere we might be interested in. We had a busy rest of our day, but I planned to take my kids there after dinner, for a time of devotion before competition the next day. After dinner, we were exhausted and the kids (and adult chaperones) grumbled a bit about the fact I still wanted to visit the cross. However, as we walked up to the cross, that all changed. I can't quite explain to you what happened, but as we stepped into view of the cross, and could hear the music playing, their whole demeanor changed. Each one began to break off by themselves, or in small groups, and started their own, self guided, unhindered, time of prayer. Each one (adults included) wept as they prayed. We all gathered together at the end and had a time of devotion together, and then a big group hug! We went to Kerrville for a competition, which did not end the way we would have liked, but each one of us agreed that it was not the reason God had us there. Each of my students, chaperones and myself had a life changing, encouraging, spirit-filled, experience there, and for that, I want to thank you. I consider myself lucky that I get to have those precious moments with

my students. I will forever send people straight to that Empty Cross whenever they are in Kerrville." Molly Courtright, Forney, TX

11/29/15 - "One year ago, I wrote a prayer request for myself and dropped it in the box. My Dad committed suicide in 2014. After that I was depressed and hopeless. I got on drugs and alcohol. I lost all hope. BUT GOD! He has totally transformed my life and my family's life! He fixed my broken heart! Thank you for your prayers! " Tarah Bosserman

11/25/15 - "This is just wonderful, incredible, marvelous! You have done a beautiful job!" Sue Woolcock, Carmel, CA

11/23/15 - "I'm Lindsey Beich (bike), I'm a 15 year old girl from Forney Texas. This past week I was in Kerrville. I saw the amazing cross and prayer garden that was put up. The impact it made on me was so amazing. I want to share it with others. I live 6 hours away from Kerrville and many of the people in my small town don't even know of the small town. This impacted me so greatly I want to make a difference in my small town (Forney), or any of its surrounding cities. (Dallas, Rockwall, Kaufman, Terrell, mesquite, Heath, etc...). I don't want to keep quiet about the impact that God made on me up there, or the impact He has made in my whole life. One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent." -Acts 18:9 . Please help me and let me know what I need to do to make this happen. I know it will take years of development, but I want to start. - God is so Great. Thank you have a blessed day." Lindsey Beich, Forney, TX

11/19/15 - "Re: Reporting on the Burnett First Baptist visit to the Cross - Bill (Lewis), thank you for the wonderful follow up to our tour. I heard nothing but praise for you and your helpful guides. It made a real spiritual impact on all of us... God bless you guys in all you are doing I pray that everyone driving by on IH-10 will be convicted as they see that wonderful cross." George Harrivel, Burnett First Baptist Church, Burnett, TX

11/16/15 - "Never I have experienced a more loving and memorial birthday. Turning 75 has been a total joy thanks to my family, friends and The Coming King Foundation for treating me like royalty. Also, a first for me was being presented with seven beautiful long- stemmed red roses. I half expected to look down at my feet and find glass slippers! (Tour Guide) Karl Jack gave a warm welcome and fabulous quick overview of the history of The Empty Cross and presented each of us with a packet of information containing the CD which explains everything more completely, and then we began our stroll through the garden. Just as we neared the Fisher Of Men sculpture, God blessed us with sunshine on our faces and diminishing winds, so we could walk, read, question, ponder, marvel and pray in comfort. As we concluded our day, gathered back at our starting place (Tour Guide) Chaplain David James led us in prayer. Just as he concluded I mentioned to him that one of our group who recently suffered great loss in her family, had just joined us, and missed the prayer. Without hesitation and with great ease, he asked us to lay hands upon her and circle her with love. It was very moving then and now. She told me later, she never felt more loved than in that moment and it was something she would never forget. As for me, I can assure you that as long as my mind and memory cooperate, I will never forget this birthday celebration, and I am eternally grateful to Max Greiner, the Foundation, Louada, Nancy, Karl and David for their help in making it happen. And most of all I am grateful to God for blessing me every day of my life." Dodi Lilja, Liberty Hill, TX

11/11/15 - "I was overwhelmed by my experience here. My husband and I were returning from a family weekend visit to San Antonio. We have two sons who have just finished their service for our country. There are many types of wounds to heal from war, and our family's are not all that different from others. Some were stitched and healed by a Doctor, some are inside. One of my sons no longer believes that God is the solution to our problems. He believes that religion is responsible for all of our wars. I was praying on the way home to myself about this, for my family. My family is all I have. I love them. I have never thought too much about the large cross on the road, except that it must be on private land, because now that society being what it is, it would be illegal for it to be on public land, so near the road, even if it comforts us to see it as we pass. But, my husband surprised me. He said that he wanted to see this cross. So, we did. I thought we would just drive by it, and maybe sit for a while, I didn't know. When we got there, I realized I would have to get out and walk, and read the lovely scriptures written all the way to the cross and see the beautiful monumental, majestic, sculptures created to glorify God. I stood under the Cross. I read how ask for a miracle and realized that God heard me praying. He brought me and my husband here to comfort me. I sat and wrote my prayer on the Prayer Rock. I wrote: Thank you God, for answering my prayers. Your child, Jean." Jean T. Houston, TX TRIP ADVISOR Website

11/6/15 - "Max, you and your bride can feel especially good about the value of your sacrifice when a lady from far away Columbia decides, with her daughter, that the Cross is well worth that tiring round trip drive from Houston. There is no better place on this earth than the Garden to spent time with our Father God and His Son. " Col. Bill Lewis, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

11/5/15 - "I went up to the cross on Thursday, November 5. Although it was rainy, I just wanted to go anyway. I think that sometimes when we just want to do something like that, it is actually the Lord prompting us. I was amazing at how many people were up there. People from Kerrville, San Antonio, Houston, Alabama, California and Illinois. There were a number of awesome times of fellowship and ministry. At one point, I had a realization that every one of these were divine appointments." Karl Jack, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

11/5/15 - "We had a very inspirational time at the Garden. My first cousin, Weldon Baker, is one of the Tour Guide Chaplains. Our prayers will continue for this Christ-honoring cause." Paul Dyke, Temple, TX

11/3/15 - "To Max and all; thanks for your loving thoughtfulness; I count my time on the Mountain and my relationship with you, Sherry and the whole Foundation family all joy.

Bill Lewis, Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

11/2/15 - "Monday, November 2, 2015 - I received gold dusting when three of you prayed for me. I had safe travel to California to my Dad's memorial, spreading my dust, helping my friend with minor fire damage to her house (Karen) in Middletown, CA. Her neighborhood was 95% gone. At 3:30 pm today, November 19, I entered the Cross and was full of lady bugs on the Cross, inside and landed all over me! Thank you Jesus! Thank you all!" Anne Buhler, Victoria, TX

11/1/15 - "Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your faithfulness expressed through Max and Sherry. You have promised that as we are faithful in what you give us that you will increase and give us more. Thank You that You have increasingly demonstrated the more and more of Who You Are and Your faithfulness in Max and Sherry. Please bless Max and Sherry with even more increase in faith in the knowledge of God and Your ministry through them to men. Heavenly Father, may Your every delight and their every delight be one in Christ Jesus. AMEN." Debra Cooper, Kerrville, TX

10/24/15 - "What an Inspiration! I visited the cross three times in two days at our last visit to Kerrville on October 22 and 23. It rained the whole time but although I got very wet at the cross, I felt the presence of our Savior each time. In the evening the cross was exceptionally inspiring with the spotlights shining on it. Although our road trip was hampered by some very strong rainstorms, the dampened trip to the cross was so inspirational. I was fortunate enough to experience the presence of the Lord the whole time I was there. This is truly an exceptional place to visit. The newest sculpture is breathtaking. I would urge everyone in the Kerrville area (whether a resident or a visitor 'just passing throug') to take the time to visit this most awe-inspiring place. Whether your stay is for two minutes or two hours or two days, I can almost guarantee you will leave there with a feeling of peace." Barbara S., Abilene, TX TRIP ADVISOR Website

10/18/15 - "A Must See in the Texas Hill Country! I've been to the Empty Cross five times now and every time has been a blessing. This is a wonderful place. It is very beautiful with dramatic views of the Kerrville Hills. The sculptures are inspiring, and the walkways are

143

filled with scriptures. Over the past two years the garden has been improved and adds to beauty of the place. However, the spiritual presence is what makes this a must for any trip to the Hill Country. Praying in the middle of the Empty Cross is a wonderful experience. It is located just off Interstate 10 on Hwy.16 towards Fredericksburg. The road to it is just past the frontage road on I-10. It takes about 45 minutes just to see everything, but I have always spent more time here. The sunset is a very good time to be here. We have liked it so much my wife is now volunteering here." Freewolf 297, Seabrook, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

10/14/15 - "Check It Out! I have been down I-10 often and never realized this was here until after reading about it in the newspaper. So we came to see it and can't believe we've never noticed it as big as it is. It was a warm day so we didn't spend much time but are glad we stopped and checked it out." Going-Gone-Again, San Antonio, TRIP ADVISOR Website

10/10/15 - "You (Max) and Mrs. Greiner are such a blessing to the Kerrville/Fredericksburg community. The Resurrection Celebration held last week was beautiful. I know my family was blessed as well as those families who attended. I wish to send blessings to your organization and volunteers who spend hours ensuring that the Prayer Garden is completed. Your artistry is magnificent. May God continue to direct and bless you and your foundation." Sandy Ward, SPIRIT-FILLED MINISTRY, Fredericksburg, TX

10/6/15 - "Yesterday was a very special day on the Mountain. We were honored to have 23 American heroes visit the TCKF Garden, and we had the great privilege of hosting them. I was so blessed to have two of our own veterans, Karl Jack and Richard Reinhard, to minister love and prayer to all these folks who have sacrificed themselves for America. Most of the 23 veterans were using wheel chairs, and thankfully we had the proper ramps to make it possible for them to get up to the Cross itself. Karl gave the folks a ten-minute history of the Prayer Garden. Then the three of us ministered individually with the vets...we simply introduced ourselves, answered their questions, and prayed with them. Karl summed the day up by his comment to me last night: "They left with smiles on their faces". Bob Glover, TCKF Public Relations

9/24/15 - "INSPIRING! This is a lovely garden with biblical statues overlooking all of Kerrville. If you're religious it's amazingly inspiring - you can write down a prayer on the prayer rocks and set it in the garden which is really neat; and even if you're not religious it's a beautiful view of Kerrville and a great place to see a gorgeous sunset. Highly recommend!" Stephanie P, North Charleston, SC, TRIP ADVISOR Website

9/22/15 - "Max, my wife and I met you under the Cross last Thursday. Your prayers with us have helped us more than you will ever know, over the loss of our son, Thomas. We found out later from talking to a friend of his, who also lives in Kerrville, that Thomas visited the Cross often to pray, when he felt weak and needed strength to fight off the addiction Demon he struggled with for years. " Anonymous, Carrollton, TX

9/22/15 - "Congratulations on the dedication of the prayer garden! You have done an incredible job leading people to The Cross. Obviously overcoming many obstacles along the way." Dale Gentry, PRAY AMERICA, Austin, TX

9/22/15 - “It was an honor to be involved on September 13th with the other Tour Guide Chaplains of The Coming King Foundation. As we ministered to many people throughout the day, I’m positive that God’s Kingdom advanced and that many were healed. You could see it on the countenance of people’s faces. They were touched and changed for the better. All in all, I think Jesus was lifted high, people felt loved on by God’s people. And, in time the testimonies of those who were there, and even those who weren’t, but were prayed for, will come to light.” Pastor Ryan Huff, Kerrville, TX

9/22/15 - "I know several folks have said this in other ways, but I need to say so anyway, because it is so very important: I honestly cannot remember a time at the Cross when people wanted to know more about 'how did all this happen?', nor a time when so many expressed to me how blessed they were to be there...to experience the day's events, yes definitely...but even more so, to overwhelmingly experience the presence of the Lord up on His Mountain... It was wonderful to be able to tell so many folks about how the Lord brought the Cross and Garden to be, and about what He continues to do there...As I know it was for everyone who was able to participate, the time on the Mountain was all God's time, and we were allowed to feel His Holy Spirit's hand on it, in a most special way. There were salvations, there were healings, there were baptisms...both water and Holy Spirit ones...and there was just such a huge blessing in being able to lift people to Jesus. Continuing to thank Him for the privilege. Holding each of you and your loved ones to Father, as always." Bob Glover, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

9/22/15 - "Been in the Hill Country praying for people -- praise God! Just getting down in words what happened last Sunday at the Cross. It was so wonderful to be with everybody and just love on God's people. Just serving and listening and hugging and reassuring people was a blessing....My spirit was full as I talked and listened to their hearts. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to serve this community at the Cross." Mims Johnson, Kerrville, TX

9/21/15 - "I was able to see several people come to the LORD when Max prayed for Salvation. Was also able to see several people healed when Max prayed. I assisted in the picking up of the offering and realized that many people were very pleased to give to the ministry. There was a lot of excitement for the (water) Baptisms that were going to be done. I had the honor of baptizing about seven people." Blair Guidry, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

9/21/15 - "My name is Paul Sollock and I visited you magnificent site on September 12, 2015. While there, I intended to get a dozen of your Audio CD #4. Unfortunately, none were available at the time. So I am requesting then now. In addition to a donation check, I am enclosing a shipping label. By the way, while our group of ten was standing in the area between the Cross and the beautiful 'Coming King' sculpture, Mr. Greiner was gracious enough to take time from his preparation fo his next day's dedication ceremony and

145

introduced himself. Not only that, but he also posed for pictures and then said a prayer. Following that, my wife noticed 'Glory Dust' glitter on her hands. After we returned home, I was listening to good old CD #4, I heard him say that he has a Scanning Electron Microscope photo of the Glory Dust. Having spent 43 years with NASA, I'm an incurable Geek and still obsessed with science. So, I am asking you to pass along my request that that Mr. Greiner consider including that SEM photo in the 'Visible Glory' dissertation. I would love to show that picture to some of my former 'Rocket Scientist' Buds, who are ardent Atheists. Ironically, such people consider any tangible evidence of God as an 'Inconvenient Truth' when they should be joyously praising Jesus for offering them Salvation. GO FIGURE!!! Thank you so much for your attention to my requests. Have a Blessed Day." Paul Sollock

9/21/15 - "I sensed during the(Dedication) event – JOY of the Lord. Our plans were fine, but God wanted to do things His way. ...The event was good - real good - all of the planners and workers should be very pleased with the outcome. It was a festive atmosphere. Pastor David (Danielson) described his experiences last Saturday night at Church, that all day at the Garden there was a divine atmosphere that saturated the hill top... If you really want to attack the enemy keep doing events that ask people to come and pray for our Country and Israel. TCKF is a perfect ministry to accomplish this necessary corporate communication to God. Louada has a special gifting and calling to help lead in this offense. TCKF could be one of the leaders in our county where we pray for the USA and Israel. With streaming video and more cameras, people from all over can participate... This can be a modest event without a lot of preparation. Where two or three gather at The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden, the schemes of the enemy can be replaced by God’s plans. I am so grateful to your faithfulness to the vision God gave you. It was a privilege to try to help out at the September 13 event. Good job good and faithful servant." Jim McKnight, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

9/21/15 - "Sunday was beyond wonderful for me! I was at the garden from 2:30 to 8:30 pm. and really didn't want to leave...All I can say is that I was so blessed to be a part of the day. I appreciated so much too, being part of the celebration that was being experienced by the Jewish people on his day (Rosh Hashanah)" Barbara Sullivan, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

9/21/15 - "You are my inspiration. I really appreciate what you have accomplished. I am so thankful I got to be a part of this. What you and Sherry have done will provide Salvation to thousands of people for many years to come!" Roy Holley, San Antonio, TX

9/21/15 - "I prayed with several people. I remember on young man named John. I could tell God was working on his heart. After he told me he was getting (water) Baptized I told him I was proud of him. He started crying. He said he had just asked God for someone to be proud of him. I led one young girl to Salvation. Her name was Zoe and she go Baptized the same day." Greg Mutchler, Kerrville, TX

9/21/15 - "I saw a lady with the Glory Dust all over her face. All of us folks, without any practice working together like a well oiled machine! Many hours in the dry heat and I never saw anybody show anything but love to each other. John 13:35." Karl Jack, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

9/19/15 - "Thanks again for the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful Holy Spirit led event. May there be many more and may our expectations be great, because He is in charge!" David James, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Kerrville, TX

9/16/15 - "High trip up the street! Got to see most of the area around the tremendous cross and other sculptures and read the messages on the ground until it started to rain on us. They were setting up for a concert or something also so many people moving around the area and cleaning up and fixing things up." Dixiedog2015, Easley, SC. TRIP ADVISOR Website

9/16/15 - "At the dedication on Sunday I too, walked around the crowd calling on the Lord to show us the proof of His presence. Immediately, they would begin to see the glory dust! At least 19 people I spoke to received it!!! The one who grinned the widest was my pastor!!! Prior to his own sparkling experience on Sunday, he had looked skeptically at me, when I talked about it. Now he smiles radiantly and tells it himself. Yesterday he told me he had his baby grandson at our church alter with him and was blessed to see the baby's head shining with glory dust!! Everything points to the obvious--God was pleased with the celebration. Don't you agree? Let's do more of them for Him!" Carol Coates, Kerrville, TX

Being part of the Kingdom of GOD is marvelous work! GOD provided in every instance!" Barbara Sullivan, Kerrville, TX

9/14/15 - "Max, my name is Rachel Perry and I met you at the cross on Saturday September 12, 2015. I wanted to give you a little of my story. I was a 12-year breast cancer survivor until January 4, 2015. I was originally diagnosed in October of 2002. Breast cancer has been very ugly to my family! I lost my mother and grandmother to breast cancer in 1989. In January of 2014 I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that had spread to many lymph nodes in my chest and had many lesions in both of my lungs. I was undergoing chemotherapy when I visited the cross in September of 2014. I was attending a Women’s retreat at Hill Country Camp on Harper road. Several ladies from my church along with several volunteers from the cross prayed for me inside that cross. The presence of the Holy Spirit was very thick in that cross. I stood on the scripture Isaiah 53:5 on the walkway and claimed my healing. God clearly spoke to me under that cross. He told me I would not die of cancer and I needed not to fear. I left that day with an overwhelming joy that I was going to live! On the Monday before Christmas I was told I was CANCER FREE! I came back to the cross this week to thank God for my healing at the place I was healed, and to place another rock that announced my healing for all to see. I am so thankful for the cross! Forever thankful. " Rachel Perry RN, Tomball, TX

The diligent work of many ensured that so many more were equally blessed. To God's glory, congratulations. The mission of TCKF will continue to be dear to Sandra and I (along with our other officers, who were touched by the power of the prayer garden).... You will

9/13/15 - "Two angels assigned to this place, 15' tall, each one. One on the right as you come up the hill, and one on the left. They are standing on the top front corners. The one on the left is the Commander, high rank, bronze breastplate, arm and leg armor. Wings, feathers of different colors tell of its rank. The other angel on the right is a musician, plays instruments continually, It is clothed in light and gold. They are both always here. They wait on our words to direct them, so they can direct other angels to carry out our words." Anonymous 35 year old man - Prophetic Vision on day of Dedication.

9/13/15 - "December 9th , 2001 will go down in history as the time when all you see before you began. Little did we know that the prophecy that Dr. Mahesh Chavda gave to Max and Sherry Greiner would have such great impact. We have a saying at Cathedral of Praise in Austin it says that 'What Happens Here Impacts the World.' The last 14 years have been one of wonder as we have watched how the Greiners, through obedience, faithfulness , sacrifice, and hard work have built a true Tabernacle of His Presence. For them to receive a word from God and then set their whole being to seeing it fulfilled is such a testament to how the Lord can use a few to bless so many. What began that fateful morning almost 14 years ago has now blessed thousands, and ultimately millions, that will come and encounter a living Savior. To all of you who have labored with them, to you that have given time and resources, I applaud you. Great will be your reward in heaven." Pastor Bill & Sue Hart, CATHEDRAL OF PRAISE, Austin, TX (Letter read at Dedication)

9/11/15 - "Tell Max there will be a great increase. Hear my voice my child I am with you all. There will be a great increase, I have spoken to you my child." Krystal Schuhmann, San Antonio, TX

9/11/15 - "Max, I had intended to get this testimony to you right when you asked for it but then I rethought what I was going to send. Below is the email I recently sent my Pastor Randy Phillips (LIFE AUSTIN Church) and I believe this message to him sums up better than anything I could say about the Prayer Garden, because it speaks to the power of what happens on the hill when people come broken, hurting and seeking. I hope this serves what you were asking for from me. I am so excited about coming to the Dedication, My husband and a few friends will see you Sunday! With deep respect and gratitude." Susan Casey, Austin, TX

(Letter to Pastor Randy Phillips from Susan Casey) "Randy... my passion for the 'Second Coming Prayer Garden' was born from this struggle. My mom invited me to go there last September and it was there that I could feel alive, I felt peace and I felt His Presence... and there I could rest in Him and begin to see things from a new light. I have taken a few people there, as as you know, I've shared the story of this garden with many people. I have probably been there seven to eight times in the past year and now I have committed to God to meet Him there at the beginning of every month, as a sort of First Fruits...not for the discipline of the act, but because I am restored up on that hill. I want to bring this place to Austin for all those who are struggling like me and have no place to rest! In the Prayer Garden it usually

149

happens that I am there two hours alone with God worshipping, praising, crying, talking and listening. I know my own version of what you described last week (in your sermon) and I thank you for being so transparent! ..." Susan Casey, Austin, TX

9/11/15 - "Awesome! The Coming King Garden is wonderful. This should be a must see for anyone visiting Kerrville or even just driving by on I-10. Get off the highway and spend an hour in reflection. You'll be glad you did." Paul P., Kerrville, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

9/9/15 - "Max, I know you are getting ready for the big party this weekend and I am so proud of you for seeing it to completion!! I know it has been a long road and one that you are probably a bit ready to be at the end of. Just like Paul, you ran the good race and finished strong!! I am very happy for you and Sherry and I know God will be lifted up on high this weekend!!" Michael Greiner, Dallas, TX

9/6/15 - "Congratulations to you and Sherry and TCKF! I am proud of you and Sherry and all that the Lord has done through you and your team! Caroline and I stand with you in celebrating the fulfillment of this prophecy and prophetic vision God has given the two of you! It is a joy and honor to have served and stood with you for 5 years on the Board of Trustees including the period during the lawsuit from the neighboring property owners, and helping secure the first foundation grant. I was privileged to have played a small part in what God is doing there through you and so many others, to help lift up your arms, and help get you out of the hot water. I sense prophetically God is not finished yet. He has more land to give you, and more resources. You have been faithful to the calling and vision and mission. Now is the time and season when God will show Himself strong to you in some new and fresh ways. As Chairman of Kingdom Congressional International Alliance (KCIA), a global alliance of apostolic and prophetic leaders in the body of Christ, I send our warm wishes and congratulations to you, Sherry, the TCKF Board of Trustees, and the donors, supporters, volunteers, intercessors, contractors, churches and city/community leaders who have joined together to help make this historic day possible and to create this memorable and momentous milestone in the life of Kerrville, the State of Texas, and the Kingdom of God."

I thought it was wonderful that he talked about his faith, and spoke highly of the Cross twice during his speech. He also added that he was going online to make a donation.

150

to thank you for your effort in making it happen." Mike Graxiola, KERRVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

9/3/15 - "I have been honored and blessed to have been able to visit and be a part of the beautiful Prayer Garden in Kerrville, Texas. I truly believe it is a piece of God's Heaven on Earth, and it is a place where you can come to pray, experiencing and feeling the presence and power of God in so many ways. We will be praying on September 13th for our Nation and for all who need prayer. We ask God to use the Prayer Garden to bring healing and to make people aware that He is and always will be King of Kings and a Living Almighty God!! 1 John 4:4 - For Greater is He that is in me than Satan who is of the world. God bless Max and everyone who made this beautiful place a reality, and for creating exactly what God intended. It is truly beyond words, and a place that all should see, but mostly, experience. God Bless!!" Christine Black Vincent, Killeen, Texas

9/3/15 ‐ "I had the distinct pleasure of being one of the praise and worship participants at TCKF Easter Celebration 2015, and it was a very beautiful experience for me personally to share in the worship and fellowship. More importantly, The Coming King Foundation Prayer Garden is a place of Holy Ground, and I felt the Spirit and Lord moving on that mountain that day!! A big thank you to Louada and the band for such a warm welcome, and to the friendships we created as brothers and sisters in Christ!! Appreciation to the staff, prayer teams, and all who made that day possible. Humbled acknowledgement to Max Greiner Jr. especially. May the Christian gathering at the Cross on Sept.13th be blessed and bring multitudes of people together to pray for our Nation and Israel. Wish I could be there with you, but my schedule will not allow for it. God Bless all of you." Lenny Holmes, Richmond, VA

9/3/15 - "I cannot express in words, the peace and reverence I feel on God's mountain! I have gained so much spiritual and soul building awareness by just experiencing the Prayer Garden on a personal level. There is so much love there and welcoming staff to pray with and for you, and the dedicated Christians involved with this foundation are truly warm and faithful. The trials have been many, but God's vision given to Max and Sherry Greiner Jr. has prevailed!! What a beautiful garden to walk in the presence of the Lord, and to open your heart to the blessings and miracles that have manifested themselves through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!! Everything from the Glory Dust, the Angel Orbs, the Prayer Rocks, the spiritual grounds and sculptures, the Scripture Tiles, etc., but most importantly, the CROSS!! The music and uplifting events are a very warm addition to the garden as well. Come to the garden for prayer, in thankfulness or reflective spiritual time, or to just embrace a place where peace and love lives!!! In my entertainment industry career, I travel all over the country for work, but my first stop when I pull into town is the Prayer Garden!! It refuels my spirit and reassures me of my source and foundation for all things!!" Vicki Johnson, New Orleans, Louisiana

My niece got Angel Orbs on her (photo) shots. I’ll get her to forward the pictures to you. Several of us in the group saw the Glory Dust on us as well. They were amazed.

8/26/15 - "Awesome experience! This peaceful, beautiful cross and garden is appropriate for visitors of any religious faith. In addition to the cross there are many scriptural verses embedded in the pavement throughout the garden. There is also a rock garden where one can take a rock and a provided marker and write their own prayer or petition. You then place this rock in the garden with the others. The garden is wheelchair accessible from the upper parking lot and once in the garden itself there are no steps or inclines to negotiate. This is truly an awesome place to visit.

8/22/15 - "I found your website and feel it's one of the most effective ways to witness to people today. A garden like this could change Los Angeles, but would take so much more money than Texas. I don't have this kind of money, not even close, but please join me in prayer that people who do will fund one of these gardens here. I am willing to share with them if God gives me the opportunity. There are people who have everything here, but struggle for peace, need answers and could have their lives changed through this non- invasive, non threatening fascinating and stunning medium. Thank you" Sandy Ent, Los Angeles, CA

8/20/15 - "I was in Kerrville visiting with a pastoral colleague. I have been to the garden many time and seen it continue to blossom in its 'called vision'.

God is SO AWESOME!! HE has done wonderful work through you and your Ministry! I have not had an occasion to visit Kerrville since I left in 2010, but I hope that changes in the year to come. I believe as you do that Christ's Second Coming is soon. I hope to make a trip to Kerrville to see in person what all HE has done through your Ministries hard work before that happens. May God smooth the pathway for the Dedication to come together as planned. May God continue to Bless you, your family and your Ministry. " Shelly Moser, Merritt Island, Florida

8/10/15 - "Hello, I just thought I'd send a friendly email, and say how truly blessed we were to drive up to that empty cross yesterday. The lady there was so helpful. She had answers for almost every question. Also she prayed with and over my wife, 3 children and myself. The prayer that she said was so strong... I have never felt the power of God or peace over me as I did then. Yall are doing a awesome job. This was a great idea it will bring thousands, if not millions to Christ. I pray that it does. My God bless you and everyone that helps, and has helped with the land that the cross is on.... God bless." Cody Claxton

8/9/15 - "The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden - Over time, this dedicated area will become a primary feature for anyone who is stopping, staying in or simply driving through Kerrville on I-10. Even today, it is impressive. We chose to come early in the morning while the temperature was still pleasant and the sun was still rising. Located high above the Kerrville community, visitors are provided a wonderful view of the immediate area. Plaques with Bible verses written in Spanish, English and German surround the cross-shaped path. Sculptures dedicated to prominent Biblical moments are placed throughout the site and give pause for thoughtful reflection." Gotravel 147, TRIP ADVISOR Website

There is also a huge prayer garden, where you find a rock, write your prayer on it, and toss it in with the thousands of others, as you offer up your own special prayer. Have never seen anything like this before. If you are a 'Believer', this is a must see. You will go away feeling renewed." Christye H, Kerrville, TX TRIP ADVISOR Website

7/30/15 - "We (Pat & Garry Robbins) are devoted servants of our Lord Jesus and we serve in the leadership of Journey Baptist Church in Wichita Falls, TX. As such, we have visited the Cross that is displayed in Groom, TX, and the one in Effingham, IL several times. They are quite large but neither were as inspiring and moving as the awesome display of The Empty Cross located in Kerrville, TX, a perfect example of the unbridled power of God, in those who seek His direction. We genuinely had goose bumps when standing in front of The Empty Cross. It reminded us of the immense love of our Savior and what He did for us, the visual of knowing the Cross is empty and He's coming again. We felt that we were standing in front of His promise and on Holy Ground. We are thankful Max has been an open vessel for the Lord to fill abundantly so He might pour out blessings to all of us. We pray for multitudes to equally be blessed and encouraged. We pray the lost are drawn like a magnet to this prayer garden and lives are changed. You know you feel it while standing there...... the gates of hell are not just being shook, but are tumbling. Our Lord Reigns." Garry & Pat Robbins, Wichita Falls, TX

7/28/15 - "On July 26, 2015 I went to The Empty Cross. I had just dropped my son off in Junction at the Christians Outdoor Alliance Camp. I had four hours of alone time driving back to Rivera. I found the road that led me to The Empty Cross. I met Blair (Blair Guidry, TOUR GUIDE CHAPLAIN) As we were talking the Holy Spirit whispered to me OBEDIENT. I didn't tell Blair this, yet was able to begin and mark the journey of forgiveness for family disputes. Blair was obedient, listening to the Holy Spirit by sharing words that have lead me to forgiveness, trust, surrender and obedience. Today, July 28th, I am sitting by water reading the literature from the packet. I was so overwhelmed and moved to tears and prayer while my hands laid over The Empty Cross picture. The words of forgiveness, trust, surrender and obedience resonate in my soul. I praise God for His love and mercy and the stories that continue to solidify the need and purpose of the cross. May peace love and sweet precious harmony be forever in the Garden! I love the music!" Carmen Bahn-Kraatz, Rivera, TX

7/28/15 - "The I Am International Fellowship Men's Retreat went great! All the men were so blessed by all that the Lord did for each one of them. This picture is from Saturday night.

156

Everything went according to the Holy Spirit and He was there BIG TIME! My son, Aaron, had a wonderful thing happen. He was supposed to do worship with the men at The Cross but forgot his guitar. Not a problem for the Holy Spirit. He sent a guy from Dallas with a guitar! Ha! Aaron saw this guy sitting there with his guitar and asked if he could borrow it. The guy said, "Yes of course!" So Aaron led the men and some other visitors at The Cross into worship and it was wonderful! Afterwards the guy from Dallas told my son he now knew why the Lord had asked him to bring an extra T-shirt. The shirt said, "Little Drummer Boy" on it. It was one of his ministry shirts. The guy was so surprised when Aaron told him he was the DRUMMER for our worship team. Talk about a divine connection. I love it! I just wanted you to hear how special it was for all the men to be able spend some of their time on their retreat at The Cross. May the Lord bless you beyond measure as always!!"

7/24/15 - "To Max and all; on this Friday twenty one faithful followers gathered at the Cross for praise and prayer... Each day at the Cross affords new opportunities to share the vision and the love of our Lord. Linda and seven member of her Missionary family thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the Garden. She has served as a missionary in many areas, most recently in Germany, she was amazed to find this magnificent Garden tucked away in the glorious Texas hills; her description. Elaine and Slater, like many before them, were just passing through an our Magnetic Cross reached out and attracted them. They were so glad they took the 508 exit. Leta and her little family, from Austin, planned this trip just to visit the Cross and as the others on this day was so very glad she did; much praise for the beauty and peace it affords. Hector and his family, like Leta, planned their family trip to visit the cross; they came from Seguin and San Marcus---the little people and their parents equally enjoyed the scriptures and the beautiful art; they were really impressed... Hondo, that’s his name, and his friends from Austin also made the trip to experience the Cross on the advice of friends in their church. There were no complaints on this day; we had a full house of happy campers. They were still arriving when I had to leave at four. The day was mostly a time of joyfully experiencing the Lord on His holy Mountain. Couples and families, enjoying each other and rejoicing to be in His presence; another great day on the Mountain. As they say in the Piney Woods, 'it just don’t get much better than that.' God bless each of you." Col. Bill Lewis (91) TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, FRUIT REPORT

7/23/15 - "The garden is wonderful. Max had a great vision of the garden. God is putting it together. I can't wait to see The Coming King statue monument. The entire vision, it is neat having seen it from the bare ground. How it has been developed is enormously special. God has given Max such a neat vision. Max has persevered over a long time to bring those things into play...The cross is special. The ground is special. The place is special. It is wonderful. Bringing that that garden to the world is so special. Probably God had a lot of people who could have done the Divine Servant bronze...but Max went forth with the vision. After that, when it came down to God looking for someone, looking for a couple, that would persevere through all the things that they would have to persevere through, if you were trying to take this on over a 30 year period... God sees forward and backward. He knew most people would fall away. And, He knew and saw that Max would persevere, and Sherry would persevere with him, and be a strength for him for 30 years, up to this point. That has brought this wonderful garden, that has blessed so many people, that is a blessing to so many." Jim Beard, Bryan, TX

On a whim, my wife and I decided to stop in and see what the site was all about, I am glad we did. Although this is a Christian faith sculpture garden, you don't need to be religious to appreciate the trip. After the long steep drive up, you are able walk along the paths and get a great view of the surrounding area. There is something about the visit that has a very peaceful ambiance that can appreciated by anyone. Although it is open from 7am till midnight, the best time would be around sunset or sunrise. Trust me, it's worth the trip. Even if it's only 30 minutes. Adam A , San Antonio, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

7/18/15 - "Blessed beyond words! There is nothing to dislike about the mountaintop experience you will have. From the moment you arrive at the top of the mountain to park and you step out of your vehicle, you immediately sense you have arrived at a very special place. The massive cross greets you, always looming above you as you bow your head to walk through the garden reading the inlayed holy scriptures in the pathway. Placed in areas before the cross are incredible sculptures depicting scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. The selected pieces are beautiful and cause much reflection until you arrive at the cross. Rising high into Heaven itself you cannot help but feel humble and be in awe. It is there that emotions well up in all who visit. There is an overwhelming feeling of peace and joy that comes over you having visited this most holy place." Hoppersson, Kerrville, TX TRIP ADVISOR Website

7/17/15 - "Max, it (the garden) really is a Divinely inspired instrument; God's children are feeling His presence and introducing their children to the Lord they know and love. I know you and Sherry know your sacrifice has paved the path to a new life for a significant number of our guests. So many expressed their appreciation for the effort expended to bring this great Christian edifice to Kerrville. I can list a few that indicated it was one of the most moving moments they had ever experienced. Larry and Zoe, Maria and Larry, Herico and Pedro, Pat and Steve were some of the individuals who stopped on the way out to tell how very much this visit had influenced them and their group. Maria, the lady who brought her elderly parents and the large family group from Houston was especially expressive in her thanks; she told me to please thank the two of you for this magnificent expression of our Lord’s love. It was a good day; we prayed, we praised , we thanked our Lord; we had an especially nice Texas group today. No foreigner’s; all home folks; the first time I have had a day of nothing but people who call our great state Home." TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain, Col. Bill Lewis, Kerrville, TX (91 years old.)

There are a lot of scriptures around the garden to read as you wonder around. What impressed me was all the rocks lining the pathways with individual prayers on them. Visitors grab rocks and provided Sharpies and jot down a prayer and place along the paths. It is very

STARGAZERS : This area is one of the best places to stargaze and/or watch a meteor shower. There are too many lights where I live, so this is the go-to spot. If you are travelling and want a place to really stretch your legs, it's a great spot to get out and take a short walk - you even get a great view of Kerrville.

3/23/15 - “As far as the prayer, I believe I saw the Lord speaking NEW things into your lives that you haven't even heard of yet! I saw the Cross/Garden being a glorified expression of God's grace and faithfulness in the earth, and His great sacrifice on the cross and coming return! This is happening (at this specific time in history) as a result of your obedience and giving of gifts/talents to build it, is creating a blessing that transcends just this location or area or Kerrville, TX. I saw you and Sherry literally being transported to other nations and places in the world. It was as if this garden held the seed of amplification, multiplication, and duplication and literally rang out a prophetic bell to the ends of the earth. I saw its spiritual influence (by my spirit) going way beyond this specific geographical location. This is likened to someone being supernaturally transported to other parts of the world. After praying at home, I sensed this garden is a dwelling place, and because the HOLY SPIRIT birthed it, it has limitless power! I don't know if you've watched the Matthew movie but when Jesus is giving his Sermon on the Mountain it actually shows His voice echoing into the earth. I saw this picture and believe He will cause the voices, prayers, supplications and miracles from this mount to be multiplied and heard across the world! But wait! There's more!" Haha! I have more to share that is too much to write in an email that the Lord revealed to me this morning. If you know of a time you'll be there let me know. Richest blessings!” - Elise Hatch, Kerrville, TX

My husband had a PSA score of 1.89 and had prostate cancer surgery in 2006. He had radiation in November and his PSA score in December was .04. We consider that to be a huge miracle.

3/20/15 - “As we all know; the Lord sends His children to the Cross for a variety of reasons; they most all leave having experienced His presence. Those who come to pray are often blessed with His perfect peace. We rejoice that some are healed; and take comfort in the knowledge that every single one is blessed. This is one more day when He sent me home with far more than I could ever have imagined. Thank you Lord, for allowing me to share Your story of love and Salvation in Your Garden.” Col. Bill Lewis (90 year old TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain) Kerrville, TX

3/19/15 - “My name is Mira Herrera and I live in Fredericksburg, Texas, I was introduced to the Empty Cross by my co- worker about 3 months ago. I am a 3 time cancer survivor and have always had a relationship with our Lord. In February I stopped by the cross with my 8 year old daughter to pray. I was struggling with my finances and worried about an upcoming visit with my oncologist. We walked up to the cross and immediately I fell to my knees and began to cry. Within a few seconds two lovely women stopped to pray for me and my little one. As they were praying, they also began to speak in tongues. I could hear them speaking in tongues at first and then I could understand what they were saying. I heard blessings over me and my finances and I could hear them telling God to bless my finances and that I was a good mother. I never spoke a word before the prayers to them about my situation, but God heard me and I heard His message back clearly. I felt a HUGE weight off my shoulders and after being anointed with some oil, I thanked them both very much. We walked up to the cross and prayed in the middle. After we had touched the cross, both my daughter and I were delighted to see beautiful gold flecks on our hands. I try and visit the cross every Sunday when my daughter and I drive back home from cheer practice. I thank God for this blessing and am so blessed to be cancer free for 5 years now as of February 8, 2015.” Mira Herrera, Fredericksburg, TX

3/19/15 - “Just wanted to give Jesus a huge thank you for answering a prayer for my husband (at the Cross). As a Marine veteran who battles PTSD and serves depression, the VA requires he meet certain criteria in order to receive a certain card. Two weeks ago, I stood under the Cross and prayed. Not 20 minutes later my husband received the letter with the good news!!! Even though everyday he struggles with the demons of suicide, he now talks to God, which he would never do before. God is truly on our side, and never leaves us no matter what we face. Thank you Jesus!!!” Anonymous

3/17/15 - “Dear Max, Sherry & TCKF Board: After discovering the Coming King Foundation Garden in 2013, I was so impressed with the whole concept, with the depth of commitment and perseverance it has taken to bring the garden to fruition, that I continued to follow its

169

progress on the Internet when we returned to Michigan. When it became apparent that I would inherit a large sum of money from my mother, I knew I would tithe a portion of it to the work of Christ. As I prayed, Christ's words to Peter kept returning to me - ‘Do you love me? Feed my sheep.’ John 21:16. I believe the best way to feed Christ's sheep in large numbers is either to reach them through Christian radio or through the beautiful, spirit- filled work of the garden. As I continued to pray, it became clear to me that the best use of the funds would be to help further the work of the garden, because it is such a light on a hill to the world, a beacon of hope, an amazing tool to guide people to Christ. Ever since my husband and his parents led me to Christ about 45 years ago, I've been so grateful that I have wanted to share my faith with others. I have always been in awe that Christ gave His life for me. He has been "the Way, the Truth and the Life " for me. What better way for others to find Christ than to be led to Him with all the beautiful, visual assistance and tools this garden provides. I have tried to explain the depth of my commitment to, and love for Christ and His people, and also my desire that all may find Him - that the garden may be used as the vehicle to accomplish this. This is who God created me to be. In finding Christ, I found my purpose and my life. God has taught me that His all-encompassing love is sufficient. Once we find Him, His love is all we need. Matthew 6:33: ‘Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.’ You may use our names.” Marcie and Mike Nye, Litchfield, MI

2/21/15 - "I have many auto-immune diseases and had been very sick for years. On a good day for me, several years ago, my husband took me to lunch at a favorite restaurant. We had ordered and were enjoying time out and pleasant talk. All of a sudden, my entire body was consumed with rage. So very strong, I had never felt anything like this before. I told my husband that I had a fierce feeling of rage and it was building. Then I had a vision of an army of warriors. They were fierce looking, on horseback, with swords, and appeared to be hunch back.This seemed to last a long time. When they were fighting and winning, I felt my body relax. I was baffled to say the least. Peace had come to me. My best friend is a Pastor. She does not have a church but councils all of us and prays with and for us. I came home from lunch and phoned her. I told her all and she said,"Beth, those are your warrior angels". I said "no they were mean looking and fighting". She explained that not all angels are pretty or handsome or cute which I had believed. Much more but am trying to keep this short. My husband was in the Navy and his shipmates meet every 2 years in different states. This past October was Kerrville. We always book extra days to visit the states. I asked the lady at the Y.O Ranch Hotel where we stayed, what she liked about Kerrville. She studied us and said I think you would like to see THE CROSS and gave us booklets. When I read the booklets-YES, I want to go, Told my hubby and 2 of his shipmates that we are going here and showed them the booklets. All agreed. When we opened the cars doors, we all got the chills. I have 3 herniated discs and 2 pinched nerves in my back and have a hard time walking far and standing. One of the men has cancer and cannot walk far at all. We both made it all the way, stopping to read everything. We went back all 7 days to visit and pray with your Chaplains and workers there. My back has improved. We all prayed for our young daughter, mother of 2 children who had thyroid cancer. It is gone now. She still has to go back for tests every 3 months but God answered our prayers. When we came to THE CROSS and I saw the COMING KING photo at the fountain area, my knees almost gave out. DEAR LORD, that is who I saw. The blowing in the wind of the cape was what I saw as hunchbacks. my vision came to life for me. This has changed me and my life. I cannot wait for THE COMING KING baptismal fountain to be finished. I want to bring 8 members of my family, if possible to be baptized there. The other men said that if we come back, they will also. We picked up one of your CDs. We were going to Chili's for lunch. Pulled into the parking lot by the river and listened to the entire CD. When it was time to leave, we asked Jim, I believe, if we could take a rock from, GOD'S ROCK GARDEN. He said yes. It is by my bed. Very valuable to us. At the airport, we tried to find a table to get dinner before we left for home. It was very crowded. Finally got a table. Then a young man in hospital scrubs was also looking for a table. I strangely asked him to join us. Then a lady in scrubs also came to join us. During conversation, I asked if they had ever been to THE CROSS in Kerrville. They were from Austin. They said no and I told them all about how amazing it is. She looked at me and asked "How did you know?". I knew what she meant-do not know how-she meant how did I know that they were Christians. I said, I just did . She started to cry then so did I. We hugged and left. I knew as the lady at the hotel knew that we were Christian. We have gained more from THE CROSS than I can put into words. Thank You so very much for your work and helping God create miracles through you. May God always Bless You and Yours and all connected with THE CROSS." Beth Kray

2/17/15 – “I remember the first time you took Martha and I to the property. It was after the retreat, the one in which more than 200 of our ladies invaded your home. You were so gracious to share your story, your home, your heart, your art, and your prayers. It is still one of the most memorable days of my life. As we stood on top of that hill, and you shared your vision, it was a little hard to imagine how it would transform from dirt and rocks into such a beautiful dream. Each time I visit I can feel the difference, the Spirit is strong and the love is deep. On my first visit after the Cross was erected, I stopped by my friend’s, Billy Long, restaurant "Cafe at the Ridge." I asked him if he'd been there yet, and he had not. I told him that he needed to go visit because it needed a little Billy Long love. Billy and I have been friends for more than 25 years. He started off as my landscaper, but we quickly became good friends and now he's like a brother. I knew that he would be able to take the Gardens to another level. I'm so glad that he stepped in to help. He is an amazing man of God, and one of the most generous people I've ever known. I know he's not the only one who has helped make the Gardens what they are, but I'm sure he's also more responsible than he admits.” Karen Ingram, San Antonio, TX

2/17/15 - "About a year ago the doctor told me that the growth on my head was melanoma and I needed to get it removed. Later on, I finally had enough of this thing getting bigger and bigger. I went to the Solid Rock Church in Center Point on a Wednesday night, and called for the pastor and the elders of the church to lay hands on it and command this growth to dry up and fall off in three days. In the name of JESUS, they did! Thursday, I started anointing it with oil two times a day and commanding it off myself. We came to the cross on Saturday with a church member. When her and my wife anointed it, they noticed it had become very dry and brittle. Saturday night was the end of the three-day time limit we had given the growth to be removed, and that night it began to crumble and fall off exactly as it was commanded to do. The next morning at church, I called on the same elders and the pastor to lay hands and command this thing off my head again. Then I sat down and said, "If you can find it!" all the church member jumped up to see for themselves what the power of the name of JESUS can do... Today it is completely gone and no signs of a scar at all." Rev. David Bird, Ingram, TX

He talked through the wind and a butterfly today...and of course, through you. Again, thank you so much. I pray that we see that 'ranch man' I had a vision of very soon. I pray he steps forward willing and able to give. He has been blessed to be a blessing and I pray he sees his calling to sow generously. In Jesus name. May God bless

you and your family abundantly. I'm claiming Numbers 6:24-26 over you and yours.” Chae Spencer, Kerrville, TX

2/11/15 - “Max, it was truly a divine appointment to meet you yesterday! All these years that I've been a follower of Yeshua, I've still carried some reservations about the cross. It's very difficult for a Jew to view the cross as a symbol of love, when we learn from an early age that it's a symbol of death and persecution of our people. Yesterday was the first time in my life that I experienced G-d's comforting presence at the cross. So I'm extremely grateful for this breakthrough and I absolutely agree that we need this (Sculpture Prayer Garden) in Israel! May G-d bless you and cause His face to shine upon you always! In Yeshua's love.” Carolyn Hide, HEART OF GOD MINISTRIES, Israel

TRINITY WATER WELL DUG & A RIVER OF LIVING WATER DISCOVERED UNDER THE CROSS (1/7/15)

1/6/14 - “Feel the presence of God! I get goose bumps just writing this review. Drove up with my family and didn't know what to expect so when we got off our vehicle we looked around and saw the cross and thought ‘ this is nice‘. However, as I walked closer to the cross I began to realize I was on holy ground and immediately was overcome with a feeling that I cannot explain. Standing in the cross I was overwhelmed by its size and majesty. Then, we discovered the rock prayer garden and that's when it hit me. I can't explain it, but the feeling is unlike any human emotion or expression. I looked around at the hundreds of prayer requests on the rocks and added one of my own. Even my 8 year old son was touched by this experience and left a message on a rock as well. Don't miss this place if you are near Kerrville as I'm sure it will bless your life as much as it did mine.” Mrmoparhemi, Mission, TX - TRIP ADVISOR

10/17/14 – “Mountain Top Experience! Wanted to take a road trip to the Hill Country and decided to make Kerrville our destination, not knowing about The Empty Cross, we were interested in exploring the Guadalupe River area. Much to our glorious surprise, the moment we saw the Cross from I-10, we knew we made the right decision! Upon entering our hotel, they had more info on The Empty Cross in the lobby, after reading more about it, we just had to visit this incredible vision!!! The moment my husband and I stepped out of our car in the parking lot an incredible wave of God's sweet presence welcomed us, both of us started crying. Awesome sculptures, the prayer path, music playing, the incredible breath taking views, truly a trip worth taking! The pain in my foot dissipated as I walked the Prayer path. We WILL be back, it has been over a week and I am still reeling from the whole experience, truly a taste of what Moses encountered on the "Mountain top" with God.” Terri L, Sugar Land, TX – TRIP ADVISOR Website

First of all, in your innate calling to accept, visualize, respond, oversee, and continue to develop a garden for God's glory, is one of the most honorable ventures I have ever witnessed! Recognition to your wife Sherry too, as her strong perseverance and dedication to the calling is equally commendable. The Coming King Foundation was and is being built off faith and love, and the results cannot be denied!!! Volumes of Christ-driven believers have joined in this quest for the Cross and the purpose of God's mountain!!! My point in saying all this.....you don't need the validation from local, regional, or international venues, as you already have the lights and camera on the real star!!!!!

10/13/14 – “The Vision! In the last days, GOD says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons & daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what HE will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, write the vision and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that read it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie : though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Not one of all the LORD's good promises to Israel failed; everyone was fulfilled. God is not a man that he should lie neither the son of man that he should repent: hath HE spoken, and shall he not make it good. Behold I have received commandment to bless: HE hath blessed and I cannot reverse it. And they overcame him by the blood of the LAMB, and by the word of their

In all thy ways acknowledge HIM, and he shall direct thy paths . God bless, Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the LORD, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the LORD.

8/31/14 – “My name is David Smith. My wife Judy and I visited Fredericksburg and Kerrville this weekend as it is one of our favorite areas in Texas. We checked into the Best Western and did not realize that this majestic place was right across the street from where we were staying. My wife and I were in the area celebrating our 23rd anniversary together. We are strong believers in Jesus and attend church on a regular basis. We have, as other couples have had in their lives, a difficult year this year. We have been going through some healing and then not, and then healing, and not. We were eating breakfast and my wife found your brochure, and said she wanted to go check this out, so I looked it up and could not believe it is right across the highway. We went over and toured this beautiful and inspiring tribute to our Lord. It is more than absolutely awesome it is so beautiful. After touring and getting beautiful pictures we went to the cross and read everything. A true miracle happened because we are already believers in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. The words inscribed in the plaques on this sacred holy ground represent everything we believe in and now we have discovered even more. But, the true miracle happened when we read about checking your hands. The sunlight was intense, so we viewed our hands. Before our very eyes we viewed the little gold sparkles all over my hands and all over my wife's hands. These sparkles were very, very, visible and it was so very powerful. We asked some others had they experienced this, later when we moved down to the Jesus statute. A boy said yes, he had seen them and we asked if we could see his hands. They were visible. Last night, Saturday night we went up on the hill. We had some difficulty that day. I drove my wife and I up there right away. My wife prayed out loud the prayer to chase demon and Satan away, releasing us to the Lord almighty. We then sat on the rocks behind the cross and renewed our vows together. There were clouds over head making this experience so surreal. Little tiny droplets fell lightly on us as though they were tears shed from the Lord. Another person was up there who stopped and talked to us. She said she could see little sparkles on my wife's arm.. We went back up again this morning before leaving the Kerrville area. We read everything again. You can never get enough because for us this is beautiful. I took plenty of pictures. We had the same experience again, even though they were not as pronounced, the sparkles were definitely there. I own a web design company in Granbury. I would like to do something special as a web designer so please let me know how I can help. Every time I ask for work God blesses my life in so many ways. And, I always give Him the praise.” David & Judith Smith, Granbury, TX

8/13/15 - "The men's retreat was a huge success and they were blessed beyond measure! They ended their day at The Cross which was just perfect. My son, Aaron, was to lead the men in worship but was in such a rush he forgot his guitar. But the Lord knew ahead of time because He sent someone from Dallas to The Cross with a guitar. Aaron went to this man and asked if he could borrow the guitar to lead everyone into worship and he said OF COURSE! A small crowd of visitors gathered around to join in and it was a wonderfully blessed time with our Lord and Savior. The man from Dallas had been told by the Lord to bring an extra ministry shirt for someone else. He didn't know why until he met Aaron. The Lord told him to give it to him. The shirt read 'Little Drummer Boy' and had his ministry on it. You see without him knowing my son is the drummer for our worship team. Praise be the name of Jesus! I read the good new of the dedication of the garden and I am so excited for you! What perfect timing!!! God is good all the time!" Christina Klotz, Austin, TX

So, our team prays on Thursday from 9:00 am- 1:00 pm. As we think about you all daily, we are praying for more people to see God at work, thru signs and wonders, miracles. I make a declaration that: The more you spread the vision throughout the world, money Cometh to bring the vision to pass, in Christ's name, Amen. God's Vision will have provision, so ask, seek, and knock and you will be given, and you will find, and the door will be opened unto you. God is with you, Joseph-I mean Max- you hear me though. We've interceded ever since we meet you, so, "Yes" and Amen. That's what Abba father says to us.” Herb & Kathryn Dobbins, Seguin, TX

Thanks and God bless!” Judy Davis, Houston, TX

7/25/14 – “For one moment in the stillness, whether it be the dawn of a new sunrise, the break of noon day, or the edge of twilight, "I Am that I Am" abides. One can't miss the magnificent majesty in which each stone has been calculated and set in place. Precision, purposeful, for in His Presence the Glory shimmers and as a visitor the experience is breathtaking, awe inspiring. This is the New Jerusalem, Ley Line accuracy, confirmation, and the Power of Praise infiltrates the marrow of the bones. As the stones cry out, "Jehovah..." there begins restoration. As you tarry, taking in each heartfelt, template of bronze, perpetual Worship edifies the human experience. My personal favorite are the three nails (Broussard sculpture) as you enter the site. To ALL that work, pray, maintain, etc. etc. etc. WE love you, WE thank you, WE pray for you, and lift you up to Abba. Humble thank you from my heart to yours....” Elaine Smith, Houston, TX

187

7/16/14 – “Rare Tribute!” We love this place! The political struggle the owners went through with local “detractors” would have made lesser men crumble. Apparently guided by the hand of their Creator these folks managed to prevail over the dismal local government. The cross itself is magnificent. Progress to complete the various ancillary venues is underway. The view from the top is worth the drive. Sadly, Christian attractions like this are vanishing from the landscape as we pursue moral equivalence and political correctness.” CC, Mountain Home, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Travel Website

7/15/14 - “I went to see my husband who is in recovery. It’s not by chance, but a divine experience. As I walked to the cross I just cried when I stood underneath. I cannot even begin to explain what came over me…It was an absolute feeling of utter love.” Chantail Le Roy, FACEBOOK

7/3/14 – “We were staying across the highway at the Holiday Inn Express and could see the 77 foot cross from our room. Just before dark we decided to drive over and see what was there. The view from the top of the mountain is really nice and the huge cross is awesome. The park is not finished but there are several sculptures and the cross to see. There is also a prayer garden which is just a cleared hillside with trails and hundreds of rocks that people have written prayer requests and messages on. There are sharpies available on site and in this garden you are allowed to write your message on a rock and leave it by the trail. There is recorded music playing and visiting the area is a moving experience. If your heart is right you can feel the presence of God there. There were probably ten cars in the parking lot and everyone was quiet and reverent as they walked the trails.” Daniel Corning, TRIP ADVISOR Website

6/28/14 – “I found out about your work on Elijah List and I knew I had to get there. Getting there we were attacked many times. But as soon as I walked on the property, I felt the Holy Spirit and I knew I was home so to speak. God bless you all.” Judy Smith, Lindale, TX

6/26/14 – “There were people coming and going as we ministered to those the Lord led us to, so a rough estimate of the amount at the Cross during the two hour period would be about 30+. God has given us the desires of our hearts as we have prayed over the years for an increase in access to people (to share the Gospel of Jesus). We are amazed each time we come away (from The Empty Cross) and in awe of how the Lord is using us to further His Kingdom.” Tom & Mary Pucci, TCKF Tour Guide Chaplains, Kerrville, TX

6/19/14 – “Our newest attraction! This place is a work in progress but already it is worthy of excellent reviews. While not initially excited about a 77’7” cross on one of our hills, I have come to love it. One quick drive up the winding road to the top will show you why. The view from the top is excellent and of course the cross itself is an amazing piece of art. Regardless of your faith believes, I think this is worth a visit. If you are a person of faith then the visit may even have some suprises in story for you. I would make it a priority to visit.” Kerry S., Kerrville, TX, TRIP ADVISOR Website

6/16/14 – “In August of 2010, while visiting Kerrville, Texas (to attend a TCKF prayer meeting) with my wife and two more couples, we had coffee and pie with Max Greiner, Jr., the artist and sculptor who was led by GOD to construct the Prayer Garden and Empty Cross on top of the mountain next to I-10. Max was asked by one of my friends to pray for me and he immediately said "Of Course" and turned to me and asked me if I was ready to receive the Healing Power of the Holy Spirit. Well, of course I said YES! Max started praying and so I started praying also and within a very short time, seconds I suppose, the pain I had lived with for more than 47 years left my knee and has not returned,,, not even a twinge, since that evening. I asked Max what this means and he told me "All the Glory belongs to God". He also told me that it was not about me or him, but that I should tell my family and friends about it. It was not easy to tell my story at first but after telling my sons and daughter, it started to become less difficult to testify and now I tell everyone who comes within earshot.” Earl Smith, Boerne, TX

6/16/14 – “I have spent a number of hours on God’s Mountain; the Cross attracts visitors from virtually every state and many, many parts of the world.

6/11/14 – “The Lord confirmed His Presence to me at the Cross in Kerrville at the end of April 26, 2014. Four years ago, Ron Hicks told me about the Cross and said I should play my harp there. I had schedule conflicts and did not pursue it. This year, 2014, my neighbors traveled to Kerrville and gave me a brochure about the Cross. When I saw the picture and read the prophecies behind it, I knew I was supposed to play my harp at the Cross. The experience was profound! When I stood near the Empty Cross, I felt the Power of The Lord and wept. A man and woman were kneeling and praying together inside the Cross. I felt the presence of The Lord when I played my harp in front of the Cross and when the wind blew, the strings of the harp began to sing. Max prayed with me afterwards and told me The Lord had spoken to him that a minstrel would play on the rocks at the Cross. He said I was the first minstrel to fulfill that word. God encouraged my heart that I had indeed fulfilled the Lord's call. There is POWER at the Cross, and I pray for the opportunity to play my harp with the angels again soon!” Sally Sledge, Fort Worth, TX

6/11/14 – “Awe Inspiring. Absolutely, gave me chills. We got there when the sunrise was beautifully illuminating the Cross. Spending quiet time with the peaceful atmosphere was cleansing. Will tell all of my friends and family. Nothing like it in all my travels.” Leslie C TRIP ADVISOR Website

6/11/14 – “The first time I went to see the cross; my head would not turn to look as it so I turned my head with my hands. I remember the feeling – I was so overwhelmed and awed at the same time. It was the most humbling experience of my life. As I looked upon the cross, I felt my body soar up and over the cross! When I landed I was talking in Tongues. (My Tongue is American Indian.) God has delivered me from a 35 year cocaine addiction. My love for life was renewed here in Kerrville. Thank you Max, but most of all THANK YOU FATHER GOD!” Dru Williamson, Kerrville, TX

6/10/14 – “Our family first visited The Empty Cross on Labor Day 2013. We were driving on the highway when we came across a huge cross up on a hill. We stopped at the gas station by The Empty Cross and saw a brochure by the counter and took one. We then drove to The Empty Cross. As we drove in we saw the beautiful scenery and skies. As we stood next to The Cross we read all the prayers on the Cross, and information regarding the purpose of The Cross. That day we received the Shekinah glory dust from The Lord. We also had the opportunity to meet Max and he prayed over us after receiving the glory dust. It was an amazing experience like no other to see the Shekinah glory on us, until this day we still get it on our body. Praise the Lord! We have visited The Cross many times, have shared our experience with others, and we have brought a few friends and family members there and they've also received the glory dust.” Chas & Krystal Schuhmann, San Antonio, TX

6/10/14 – “I was at The Empty Cross with several friends the afternoon of May 3rd, the day after the Area Aglow Conference began. We had attended the concert the night before and wanted to go to the Cross again to pray. That day, we all saw some glory dust on our hands and clothes at the cross, but one lady in particular, who had been worship leader the second day of the conference, had a lot of glory dust all across her shoulders and neck. When I lifted her hair so we could see better, it was even visible in her hair. We were all amazed. We knew the Glory of the Lord was present at The Cross. Many will be saved or changed in some way by the sculptures and the messages presented at The Empty Cross. Thank you for following the Holy Spirit's leading.” Erma Harvey, San Antonio, TX

6/10/14 – “We have found those in the organization to be of high integrity and utmost character. The TCKF has placed the highest priority on reaching souls for Christ in all they do. Whether it be the sculptures themselves, the events they sponsor or the materials they produce, Jesus is always presented as the utmost of importance. So much so that it has brought them unwanted attention from groups not wanting Christ to be glorified. To their credit, they stood with boldness and deep faith and won each victory with humility. Thousands of people from a multitude of nations have visited the garden even though it is yet to be completed. Most of the time they are met by trained volunteers who share the good news of Jesus Christ and willing to pray for them. Many have come to Christ, been healed and even delivered on the spot. Our organization has given financially to their ministry and offered ourselves as various events to speak and minister. They have proven to be a wonderful asset to our community in every way imaginable. They offer the garden to churches and organizations at no cost and entry for visitors is free as well. The positive response to the garden has increased over time and seen as a wonderful addition by the citizenry. We highly recommend The Coming King Foundation to you for favorable consideration. We are convinced that they will be a credit to your membership and the greater Kingdom.” Jack Rothenflue, Commission To Every Nation, Kerrville, TX

6/9/14 – “On Wednesday evening September 5th 2012 the Good Lord restored my hearing at The Empty Cross at Kerrville, TX. I had been wearing very expensive hearing aids in both ears for about 30 years after working in noise hazard areas at Kelly A.F.B. in San Antonio, TX for many years. On that evening an evangelist named Timmy (T.J. Tubbs) prayed over me asking Jesus to restore my hearing. After falling backwards, laying on the ground, I could hear cars and trucks on the highway driving by very clearly, I took out my hearing aids that night and have never used them again. God is Good!” Alton Nebgen, Stonewall, TX

6/9/14 – “I can meet with my Savior and my Abba Father anytime, anywhere, because He promised to never leave or forsake me and because His Spirit lives in me. But, the times I’ve been so burdened, my immediate thought is – to go up to the Cross. Here in Kerrville, that means The Empty Cross at The Coming King Sculpture Garden. My first visit was with my women’s Sunday School class from First Baptist Church was at the end of May 2013. We met with Max Greiner for well over two hours. He explained the history of the Cross and the vision for its future. We all shared our needs and burdens. Afterward, we entered into The Empty Cross where we prayed for these named and unnamed cares and concerns of my classmates, as well as for the Cross and its purpose in reaching others for Christ. At the moment of our collective ‘Amen’ the sun came out. In the sunlight we could see that all of us had the unexplainable ‘Glory Dust’ on us. At that exact moment, with the sun popping through, all of us could see it on one another! As we happily looked at one another through the tears, I know my ‘sisters’ enjoyed the assurance of His presence and peace only the Lord can provide. I know some of us also experienced relief from some of our physical problems. As a child of the KING, it’s impossible to say what having immediate access to His throne means to me. But, we also have free access to this amazing place here in the Texas Hill County – The Empty Cross. If you are looking for the atypical place to visit in your travels, The Empty Cross will not disappoint, and will provide much more than you can imagine. Come to The Empty Cross.” Toni Carter, Kerrville, TX

5/7/14 – “Three of us went back to the cross during the Saturday afternoon break (after Max’s presentation to AGLOW at the Inn Of The Hills). I walked the whole prayer walk (at the garden) and found myself crying for some reason unknown to me . As I read the stones, I felt like I was looking into people's hearts, hungering and thirsting for God. Standing under the cross, I, my sister, and Emily met and heard testimony from a fellow Aglow lady who shared how she had died and experienced a taste of heaven. Other people wandered up and she had a captive audience. Then a group of us had spontaneous prayer with 2 women from who knows where. It was wonderful to have immediate agreement and fellowship with people where our one common denominator was Jesus. The cross is always a beautiful symbol of God's love and the physical presence of the Empty Cross is a place of agreement and fellowship. Quite beautiful and sweet. “ Teresa Tucker, AGLOW, Georgetown, TX

5/7/14 – “What I saw at the cross was beautiful that night for His presence was living and shining among us. I saw the glory of God moving around us, glory on others faces and angelic beings so close you could nearly touch them! Even when the white horse, moving with such grandeur, made an impression on me that it's not long until we see the King of Kings riding back full of majesty and power! We went back the following day on Saturday and saw more evidence of such signs and wonders such as gold glitter like substance on arms, hands, faces and back of necks. After hearing Max's CD, my husband wanted to see this 77 foot cross and so after Monday's doctor appt in SA, we traveled back to Kerrville where he saw and experienced it. I am now sharing with others on public media what was seen and letting God's people know of His great goodness and mercies! Something else that came out of this is that I learned from a friend this morning was a baby named Ben Kelly, whose parents are missionaries to Africa, had his first heart surgery on Monday. He was born over 3 weeks ago and had to be stable enough to have this surgery and having told Max all about this, he said he'd pray and I understand the baby's surgery went better than expected. His parents, Mandi and Jake Kelly, are on leave of absence and staying in Kerrville close to her parents who pastor Trinity Baptist church. There is more fruit coming from this and I know The Lord is moving among us to bring about His perfect will! I cannot seem to stop thinking about the cross and all that I saw and heard over the weekend! This will forever be etched within me and I plan on going back many more times and somehow being more involved! Of all the things that happened this past weekend, this was definitely

Multiplied thousands have experienced healings, miracles, comfort, peace and most importantly, have accepted the LORD Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. It is not due to any church or denomination. It is solely God’s love and power! No man can take credit for it. There is a standing invitation to any and everyone to visit the Garden free of charge. No matter your church affiliation or lack there of, financial status, beliefs, race, social status or political views, you are always welcome to come experience His presence!! One of my favorite things to do at the garden is to read the “Prayer Rocks.” People have begun to write their prayer requests and testimonies of answered prayer on the small pieces of flat rock. One person started it and many have followed suite. There are so many hurting people in the world, which is apparent when you read their prayers. Some of them will break your heart. Their testimonies of answered prayer are so encouraging! The Sculpture Garden is a beacon of hope to so many.” Louada Raschke, Kerrville, TX

3/11/14 – “My husband and I camped in Kerrville for years and we always said we were going up to the cross. We prayed to see the glory of God and as we approached the cross it was a very cloudy day and the wind was blowing like crazy. But, as we looked up a the cross I could see His glory falling, and I asked my husband if he could see it, and he did. Before we left we were praying and my husband said look. As I looked up into the sky there was a brilliant light behind the clouds and it moved toward the cross. It was totally amazing. As we were getting into the pickup I looked back at the cross and I could see the glory falling on my husband’s truck. Once we started back to the campground I was a little saddened that I could not see the gold dust on my hands. However, as we pulled up to our travel trailer, the LORD spoke to me and told me to look on the back of David’s truck. So, I did and as I rounded the back of the truck, a sun ray his the back of the truck and it just sparkled as it did on my hands, my coat, and David’s. Oh yes, we experienced the presence of God and were have been back several times in the last few weeks. Thank you for your faithfulness to the call God has given you all.” Rosemary Maddox

1/2/14 – “We are still so fired up about the divine appointment that we had with you and Johnny Sharp on Thursday. We can't stop thinking about the project. We are going to Dallas House of Prayer tomorrow morning, now known as Storehouse, and see if we can put some of the brochures there. We listened to your testimony CD yesterday on our way back home and were blown away by the train of miracles that make up The Coming King Story.

203

We believe there will be many more. When we finished the CD, my CD player jumped to the next CD which is the dramatized version of the Bible. It was Isaiah 62. I grabbed my Bible and read it as it played. The highlighted scripture for TCK project was Isaiah 62: 10-12. I placed a photo album of the pictures that I took on my Facebook page this morning of the Garden. People are already asking questions about it. We booked the guesthouse for Easter weekend in Ingram. Do you have a Sunrise service on the mountain? If so, God willing, we will be there. We would also like to get a caravan together of others from the DFW area. Attached are the pictures Thaddeus took of you, Johnny and myself and our prayer for the Garden. May God richly bless the work of your hands and the movement of the Spirit.” Angela and Thaddeus Niestemski, Fort Worth, TX

1/1/14 – “PEACE - In a busy world and a busy life, this peace-full and inspiring garden is just what most of us need. Take ten minutes or a day or an evening to be still, reflect, listen and enjoy the spectacular scenery/terrific views from the mountaintop. The cross is the "main event", though, especially judging by the unplanned and growing "garden within a garden", this one being the rocks on which visitors have written their heart-felt prayers of thanksgiving and petition. This is the time to visit the garden, so that you will have a different perspective someday when all of the art is installed and thousands of visitors arrive daily. If you belong to a church in the region, plan an outing now for the spring, and your group will be forever grateful.” TRIP ADVISOR Website – John, Dallas, TX

11/29/13 – “The only way we can turn our nation around is if people will return to the faith that this nation was founded on. Jesus Christ is the rock and out of that relationship flows all that is necessary for life and godliness. I took an old friend to the cross last week and he was so moved by it. I so sense the presence of the Lord whenever I am up there. God does have a wonderful plan for that place as you already know. I pray for the provision, but also that the purity that is there would be guarded and protected and cherished. His Glory is so precious and so pure and holy. Its value cannot be calculated in human terms and one must be so careful when handling it.” Rev. Greg Young, Kerrville, TX

11/7/13 – “I have had a persistent cough for 20 years. Specialist after specialist, none found the root cause. Upon visiting The Empty Cross, my husband prayed for my healing as he and countless others had previously prayed. We cried and expressed our gratitude for His goodness. We then left to enjoy the rest of our visit to your area. Got home, went about our life and two days later my husband noticed I had not coughed. Having lived with it for so long, I hadn’t noticed myself. Hallelujah!!! I sincerely believe He healed me on the Holy ground of The Empty Cross that we had previously walked on. I receive His healing and I receive His grace. I am healed by the blood of Jesus and in His Mighty name!!!! A woman whom Jesus loves.” Cathy McFadden, Fort Worth, TX

11/5/13 – “I am a Disabled Veteran -U.S. Army- and struggle with PTSD. Because of some of the things I had to do in War, I felt even though I am a Christian, I did not or would not belong in Church again. I never lost my faith, but was lost myself. Over the past 7-8 years, I have realized that I had to do those things because it was my duty to my Country and not against God's will. My family and I were in Kerrville last week and saw the Cross for the first time. We did not go to see it, but it has been on my mind since the moment I saw it. Today, while I was in Chapel service with my Daughter at her Christian School, they sang "Amazing Grace". It made me want to type this email. I write this because I would like to be saved again, along with my children and wanted to know if you provide any type of Baptism services. Whether it is available or not, my family and I will be visiting again soon to see the beautiful Cross and feel its power. I do not want my children to ever stray away from God as I did.” Rick Carey

11/4/13 – “My roommate and I have come here for a while. This year we were sitting at the floor of the cross and just spoke the truth of everything that was bothering us. When we stood up to leave we saw the gold flakes flying. I felt this amazing relief. My friend felt a hand on her back which believed to be her father. We also believe God was with us. Thank you for everything. I was Saved with my roommate.” Samantha Falqoust, Schreiner University, Kerrville, TX

11/4/13 – “My friend Samantha and I witnessed a miracle! We sat underneath the cross and talked with God. We didn’t say much, but what we did say was 100% honest. We could feel His Holy Spirit around us. The “gold dust” surrounded the cross. Hundreds of angels surrounded us! God was right beside us and so was my father. My father passed 16 months ago. I felt my father’s hand on my back, and it did not leave until I walked out from underneath the cross! We were blessed, humbled and amazed. God touched over lives on 11/4/13. Praise the Lord! I am filled with His Spirit!” Naomi Johnson, Schreiner University, Kerrville, TX

10/14/13 – “I am greatly impressed by your depiction of Jesus washing the feet of a disciple. I am also impressed by the Sculpture Garden under construction by your direction. Hopefully, it will be a source of inspiration and strengthening of faith in believers as well, and especially, as a reason for faith in doubters and disbelievers,” John Eoff, Kerrville, TX

10/13/13 – “This is so awesome to see! As I was reviewing the pictures (of the new Prayer Path) I believe Holy Spirit was impressing some things upon me that I felt led to share. As always, please take this all before the Lord for confirmation. I sensed Holy Spirit say that this is like the road to Emmaus, where Jesus will begin to speak to people's hearts as they make their pilgrimage to the Cross. When they get there their hearts will burn within them knowing that they will have been with Jesus! There are angel orbs all over the Cross. Holy Spirit impressed upon me that there are angels stationed there 24/7 guarding the Cross, preparing ground and the atmosphere and establishing God's Kingdom in that Garden for all who come and for that territory. God would say to you Max and Sherry, " Well done, My good and faithful servants." Isaiah 62:10 Go out! Go out! Prepare the roadway for my people to return! Build the roads, pull out the boulders, raise the flag of Israel. As you are doing this in Texas, it is also being done in Israel. It so reminded me of a section of Israel I visited when I was there. One picture reminds me of the view over Jerusalem from the Mt. of Olives. There is a huge connection between what you are doing in this section of the Garden and Israel. In the many slides of everyone working on the path and the wall the scripture that came to mind was about Nehemiah rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem! This is so deep. So powerful! I can't even put into words what I am sensing in the Spirit! May the Lord continue to bless you, protect you and provide all that you need physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially to complete this endeavor and all that He has called you and Sherry to do! I love her animal page! It always brings a smile to my face to see all that the Lord is accomplishing through you and others! I know it is definitely bringing a smile to Abba, Father's heart too! He loves seeing His Kingdom Come Upon this Earth as it is in Heaven in Kerrville, Texas! May the Lord bless you and keep you! May He cause His Face to shine upon you! May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you His Shalom! Keep going!” Donna Muller, Nashville, TN

10/10/13 – “Unlike other public parks, this one is not built with tax money. Unlike other tourist attractions and theme parks, this garden is not built to make money for its developers.

A wonderful side benefit is that when this garden is completely finished, the local community and businesses will be blessed

10/10/13 – “Max, I was praying for your project on Saturday and I saw holy fire from the road at the bottom all the way up the mountain to the cross. The workers working in holy fire, and everyone driving or walking up that road in holy fire, conviction, repentance, new birth, coming alive in the Spirit with the passion of God for His people....I believe for a greater than Azusa revival in Kerrville that spreads....just wanted to share my vision!” Sylvia McGinnis, Kerrville, TX

10/9/13 – “It was the expanse of stone inscriptions (on the Prayer Rocks) which inspired me. What struck me was a sense of heartfelt compassion for the broad expanse of humanity, seeking the LORD of power in their everyday lives. Like the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, the Prayer Rocks are providing visible proof that people long to communicate with God…. Speaking for myself, I see The Empty Cross as one of the Hill Country’s top faith centered resources. My wife, Barbara, and I are privileged to live in Kerrville and we are excited about the potential of the Cross to be transformational in the lives of thousands upon thousands of lost, hurting and vulnerable people, whose life circumstances are opening their hearts to the Good News of Jesus Christ…We are seeing up close an outpouring by people whose lives have been touched by The Empty Cross. I wish everyone in our area could witness the board positive impact that the Cross is bringing to people across the Texas Hill Country.” Jeff Anderson, PARTNERS IN MINISTRY, Kerrville, TX 10/8/13 – “That cross is amazing!

10/5/13 – “Max, I must share a story with you: After a very long day at work, I stopped at a restaurant to pick up a to-go order. Standing at the counter when I arrived was a woman in her 50s, who was clearly under the influence of something. The young woman at the register, who was probably in her early 20s, asked if the woman needed her to call her a cab. The woman begged off, and the young woman looked at me in a pleading way. I asked the woman where she lived, and she said she didn't live far; that she would be able to drive home safely. I calmly explained that I knew she believed that, but I didn't and, in doing so, she was putting her life and the lives of others in danger. I told her if she would allow me to drive her home, she would be doing everyone a great service. She finally agreed.

I helped her out to my car and, as we drove toward her home, she started to weep. She talked about all the problems in her life and I reached down to take her hand, and, as I did, I saw she clutched a pamphlet for The Empty Cross. I asked her if she wanted me to take her to the cross, and she said yes. So we drove to the site. When we got there, she sat in the car for a little while in silence, and then finally got out and walked toward the cross. She stood there for a few minutes — I gave her privacy — and then she came back to the car. When she got in, she thanked me and tears streamed down her face. She held my hand as I drove her home. When we got there, I walked her inside, and we talked for awhile. I told her all her problems might seem insurmountable at the moment, but there was help all around her. She nodded and said she knew there were guardian angels with her that day and that she had faith that things would get better.

It was one moment in time and one story — but I witnessed what the existence of The Empty Cross means to her. Churches are wonderful institutions, but many chapels aren't open 24/7 for people to visit and pray, but The Empty Cross is open. I think that's pretty special.” Donna Hatch, Kerrville, TX

9/12/13 – “Beautiful! God has brought my family together during a tough time in our lives. I first learned about the Prayer Garden while he was having surgery at the hospital. I read about the Prayer Garden while looking at magazines in the waiting room. I couldn’t wait to see the garden for myself! We have dedicated our time to come to give our praise and thanks to the Lord each week. We recently received some great news from the doctor after my husband had an MRI done. The mass found in his check was gone! … as if it was never there! Hallalouh, God is amazing. The Lord has been watching over him and in the process of this hard time, He has brought us closer to Him.

9/10/13 – “In April, my husband and I made a special trip to Kerrville to visit the Sculpture Garden. (We went from Dallas to Houston via Kerrville). We have been following its progress by email over the years since its inception. Even though it is as yet unfinished- because work done on the garden occurs only when there are funds to pay for it- it was a rich experience. To see the majestic cross looming up on the horizon as you approach Kerrville is breathtaking. To stand within the cross and feel its power is humbling. The life sized sculptures, donated and already in place depicting events in the ministry of Christ, bring life to those events. It is exciting to envision the Garden in its completed state. Without the distractions of unfinished road access, parking, pathways etc., it will be even more powerful. With the sculptures surrounded by easily negotiated pathways. enhanced with beautiful flowers of the Holy Land, and carefully maintained , the Garden will be a place pleasing to both the aesthetic and spiritual senses. Will it become a "destination” for travelers- ABSOLUTELY! Will it boost Kerrville's tourism-indeed! Will Kerrville be " blessed to be a blessing" - we feel certain of it. May it be!” Nana & Lee White, Sugar Land, TX

9/7/13 – “WHOA--WOW! If you haven't seen the Cross, you haven't been to Kerrville, TX. It will definitely stop you in your tracks. I guess that is the point of the Cross. Arnold The Terminator, Gen.

9/5/13 - “I live almost two hours away in the Austin area and have been to the garden on multiple occasions. Each time I have been I have been blessed in a number of ways: peace that goes beyond human understanding; love, kindness and acceptance from the staff volunteers at the garden and, always, a willingness from them to pray for/with me for any need. More blessings have come from answered prayers that have been prayed in the garden and happenings and sightings that cannot be scientifically explained. How fortunate the residents of Kerrville are and what an amazing opportunity/obligation you have in this endeavor for your area and for the nation as a whole. It is my hope that this “sacred” project would be brought to completion in a very timely manner. It is my prayer that millions would come to know the beauty, peace and true meaning of this very unique and special prayer garden. God Bless You and Keep You.” Jennifer Woodworth, Austin, TX

9/4/13 – “It was an absolute pleasure and blessing to meet you (Max) on Monday at "The Empty Cross". We all left there feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit within us and our faith has never been stronger. We all saw with our own eyes, the amazing miracle of God the Shekinah Glory Dust. We also prayed the very next day to receive it again and we did, just like you said! Since visiting (the garden) we have spread the word and testimony of our Kerrville experience to our whole family, and every one of our friends, believers and non- believers. I was able to minister to a longtime friend for the first time yesterday after sharing with him our testimony of the Shekinah glory dust. I am preparing and praying for the Vision meeting I have tonight with my Bible study leader, and I know that The Lord has huge and important plans for us in the coming future. Thank you for your prayers and advice. We have made a decision to bring every single family member and friend who visits us from Houston to The Empty Cross. We have also had plans to possibly do a Bible study with our group up there as well. We ourselves will be visiting hopefully at least once a month, as we are all (including our 7 year old daughter) convinced that is holy, sacred ground. We feel so blessed and special to have met you and stumbled upon this wonderful holy place. God is so amazing and wonderful! Thanks again. I know we will see you soon!! God bless you all and your families.” Chas Schuhmann, San Antonio, TX

It’s a Special Moment in time, and appreciate all that has gone into the vision of this precious site! Kerrville has more than 60 churches and the Lord has chosen this spot! My 5 trips to Israel in my lifetime are remembered in the Cross's land with similar climatic conditions & will be more reflected in the Garden when it’s finished! “ Clare B. Trowbridge, Hunt, TX

8/31/13 - In today's world of so many challenges in so many ways, each of us say so many times of something in our lives " is it worth it". My wife and I are not associated with the Coming King Foundation, but I do proudly display the Empty Cross decal on my back window of our vehicle. When we moved to Kerrville, it was for the quaintness and peacefulness of this town and the surrounding hill country. To us, the coming of the Cross just added to the mystic and beauty of our town and great State of Texas. I respect all faiths and what they believe in, as I would hope the same from them. A Cross is a world recognized symbol of peace that is turned to and admired by many as a sign of hope. We are very happy that this Cross has come to Kerrville for whatever reason. If you are a believer, just try and look up at or visit this Cross and not get a special feeling. " Is it worth it " ? Anything that makes even one human being feel better about themselves and their path in this life journey is most definitely worth it.” Clarence F. Mullen, Kerrville, TX

8/31/13 – “The Empty Cross" 77'7" sculpture unites the Body of Christ in our community and draws people from across the USA and world. It is a symbol of hope and love that draws Christians and non-believers alike. The non-denominational Sculpture Prayer Garden is not a church or a ministry, but simply a physical place in the Texas Hill Country where the God of the universe is honored. Jesus Christ said that if He was lifted up, He would draw all people to Himself. It is happening in Kerrville, TX as thousands of people are drawn to Him from all locations, races, creeds and backgrounds!” Max Greiner, Jr. , TCKF President, Kerrville, TX

8/17/13 – “I had been hearing about this place for a little while, when two weeks ago my girlfriend and I, both Christians, decided to come see. During our time praying and meditating late into the night, after 1 AM, my girlfriend received the Gold Dust covering her entire left cheek, and two gold flecks in the cup of her left index fingernail. Very moving! Upon our decision to leave for the eve, I took three pictures from the parking lot of the cross’s full magnificent sight. It was a crystal clear night, not a cloud in the sky, just the cross and all its illuminated glory. Something told me to study my pictures. I did so. That’s when I noticed all three had a “white cloud” in the upper right hand side of the pictures, high above the light illuminating the top of the cross. Barbara and I were in awe. God and the Holy Spirit had shown Himself to us, for sure me, and how I needed to see it!...The next Sunday I got up and testified the whole story in front of my church. People were crying, praising, goose bumps, and many hugs and thank you’s for sharing. …Thank you God!” Rick Rapp, Corpus Christi, TX

Whatever money this cost, is well worth it for every person that goes to see it! The history behind it is an awesome fact of "God's Will" & people that "believe". I don't mean to preach, I don't like to be preached to. By the way, it's free to go see, walk around, stay as long as you wish.

The Satanists, the occultists, let them come, they shall not be able to stop what I am doing here! You are my witnesses!

5/3/13 – “My name is Toni Carter. I am a member of the Ruth Sunday School class at 1st Baptist church. We're a group of about 40ish women, of an average age where our children are grown. Of course we're huge fans and admirers, if that is even a proper term, of the prayer garden. Thank you for persisting in this wonderful effort. I have personally enjoyed your CD relating the origins, and the amazing answers to prayer, of the prayer garden and the Cross.” Toni Carter, Kerrville, TX

4/30/13 – “It's been over a year since my husband and I visited The Cross. Everything was under construction including the road leading to the top of the mountain. Having seen the cross from a far, I felt compelled to draw nearer. It was nighttime and I decided to try and reach it. We drove past the "Do Not Disturb" sign. Upon reaching the top, we found 6 or 7 other cars getting ready to leave. As I stepped out of our van, the first car slowed down. I asked them what they were doing. The lady replied that their group came up each month to

223

pray for their town and government. About that time, my husband emerged from the van in his motorized wheelchair. Two years prior he had suffered a stroke and was completely paralyzed on his right side. Right then, all the cars stopped and everyone got out and walked over to us. They asked if they could pray for us. The tears would not stop as these earthly angels prayed for healing for my husband and strength for me. We were both so extremely touched and will never forget our experience there.” www.tripadvisor.com - Musictchr2, Spring, TX

4/29/13 – “Your work is so wonderful! I can't wait until the garden is finished. I got curious about what the garden was and looked it up online, then we visited. We were so glad we found it. We are returning to Kerrville next year and are looking forward to seeing the progress. God bless you all. We will be praying for the garden. Our loving Christ so deserves this great remembrance and honor.” Marcie Nye, Litchfield, MI

4/29/13 – “My sister received healing of serious depression after we prayed together at the Cross on 12/26/12, and she is still feeling “herself” with not sign of depression to this day!

4/25/13 – “I visited your Prayer Garden on March 22, 2013 from Houston for my birthday. My husband and I were highly blessed by the beautiful sculptures and the presence of God.

Thank you for obeying His will in this.” Annette Foster, Houston, TX

3/18/13 – “To Max and all. I had a very enjoyable couple of hours at and around the cross. I met some interesting visitors. I shared Max’s vision and explained the beautiful sculptures and the final plans for the finished product. The folks I met were from the following areas: Kerrville and the immediate area – 17, Hannibal, MO. -2; Corpus Christi, TX – 4, San Angelo, TX – 4, Pennsylvania – 2; two groups from San Antonio, TX – 7. In addition I was blessed to meet the fellow from China, Max and one of the men and lady friend who worked as a welder on the cross. I also met a wonderful family from the San Antonio area who produced one of the national TV programs for Max. All and all, it was a pleasant 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM afternoon. If all of our tour guides experienced the same volume interest in the Lord’s garden things are picking up. One final human-interest story; one couple after many years of marriage, renewed their vows, caressed by the cross. It was a touching event.” Col. Bill Lewis, Kerrville, TX (90-year-old TCKF Tour Guide Chaplain)

3/14/13 – “That cross is in my mind and heart and it never goes away.” Roy Holley, San Antonio, TX

2/26/13 – “Well, what does one say when you walk onto a place and the Spirit of God is so powerful that there is a touch of the Holy Spirit that is overwhelming. My husband and I are not from Kerrville and here only for a temporary season. We had not been up to the Cross and had no clue of the background regarding the conception of such an idea! What we could see was the portrayal of God's love for mankind cast into bronze pieces that words cannot describe because of the depth that each event held in the Word! What memories, what images! Since our first visit, we have had opportunity to take guests from Oregon (where we are now) and Seguin, Tex. For our guests from Oregon, the Cross evoked a spirit of worship. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will draw more and more people to this awesome place. Thank you, Max Greiner, for being a willing messenger.” Gwen and Larry Burns, Oregon

2/21/13 – “My brother in law passed by the sculpture garden and called me today so I looked it up on the internet. Very nice, I have been involved with two projects like this, I am finishing up the last one now. God bless you for the insight and the spiritual fortitude that I know it takes for such a project. I think you will be amazed at the number of Christians that you inspire and more importantly the number of none Christians that will be lead to Christ. It will plant many seeds, water many seeds and harvest many seed, and don’t be surprised when you hear of the miracles that God will bless you with. God Bless

you and all you are doing and if I can help in any way I would be my pleasure and honor. GOD BLESS YOU.” Mickey Wells (Groom garden sculptor)

Please pray for our family in New Braunfels that everyone will come to know Jesus Christ as Savior.” Anonymous, New Braunfels, TX

2/11/13 – “I find myself looking for the cross from both my porches whenever I am outside and as I drive along no matter where I’m going. I almost feel like Winston Churchill did during the blitz when he arose in the mornings and first words from his mouth were, “Is she still standing” meaning St Patricks. It is almost my touchstone. I am so happy I moved to Kerrville just because of The Cross. I hope to be useful to this Holy endeavor.” Carol Coates, Kerrville, TX

2/8/13 – “The Lord spoke this to me last week. The prayer gardens are going to be in strategic locations all over the world and God will actually leave messages to people (The Gospel) where people can actually get saved without having someone lead them to the Lord personally. These will be memorials to what Jesus has done and even when we are gone during the worst part of the Tribulation multitudes will find salvation and actual protection from God in these prayer gardens. There will miracles of provision of food and water. I see stones that are engraved with gospel messages and prophecy from God. It is the ultimate "left behind" project of God. Is this confirming, as I have no knowledge about the purposes of the gardens here-to-fore?” Charles Robinson, Austin, TX

2/4/13 – “I went up to the cross. It was just amazing! The music was so beautiful! WOW! And the statues, WOW! Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! Every time I go up there it never ceases to amaze me!” Shay Cowden, Kerrville, TX

1/7/13 – “I just wanted to write you all a short message and tell you how inspirational our visit was to all of us. To see that huge cross and to stand underneath it felt as if I was touching Heaven. Well, I sure enjoyed going there. I felt a peace come over me that I haven’t felt in a long time. It’s so peaceful on the top the hill. So many people need help and I believe that Jesus is the way! Thank God that there are still some good Christians out there who want to spread the Word of the Lord, no matter who it might upset! Thank you and God bless. P.S. I suffer from PTSD from Vietnam. Going there at the site made me forget I have had it! Thank you, and bless you so much!!!” Skye Saathoff, Retired Military, San Antonio, TX

1/4/13 – "I felt something coming into Kerrville. It was amazing. I did not know where the cross would be. I have seen thousands of crosses around the world in over 60 nations, but I have never seen an empty cross. It will draw international attention to Kerrville. The Empty Cross will touch the nations. You only need for your life one empty cross. It is about

226

Jesus, not art. It would be wonderful to see the Prayer Garden around the world, especially in Israel. The Empty Cross means to me that God sent His Son to die for my sins and set me free. I came 9,000 miles from my home in Finland to see the cross. Sometimes you have to go far to see near. I am praying that every American would see near, pray for this wonderful nation and turn back to God. It really blessed us to be in the prayer garden." Marti Falck, Tampere, Finland

1/1/13 - I'm so proud of you. God is awesome and has done some amazing work thru your ministry. I'm so glad we are re-connected. Let's work together to fill the nets. He is coming. To God be all the glory.” Dr. James E. Grassi, Men's Ministry Catalyst, Post Falls, ID

12/21/12 - “Thank you for obeying God and bringing forth the Empty Cross.” Margaret Wherry, Kerrville, TX

12/12/12 – “It seems now countless confirmations have arrived…the Garden is going to be WAY bigger than imaginable….and it is going to be the responsibility of “HIS Church”…..but it’s going to happen outside the walls of the physical church…as they (HIS people) walk out of the pShysical church in the spirit of service and evangelism and go to the Garden… Thank you for being so obedient in all you do!” John Meder, Dallas, TX

12/11/12 – “What is the next move of God? It is not going to be tied to the church. I really believe God will call people, Godly people, to a garden. All the way to the garden.” Anna Roundtree on Sid Roth TV show “It’s Supernatural”.

12/11/12 – “Max, I am inspired by your attitude, never say die, never giving up. Others would have given up. It has been a real blessing for me to see you. You are a great inspiration.” David Brock, Boerne, TX (One of good TCKF attorneys)

12/3/12 – “This is so awesome. These people (Donor Artists) are so gracious and to put this (art) in the Garden for His glory and honor. You are doing a great job and I can’t wait to see it come totally to fruition and people start understanding our Lord as you do.” Fay Faure’ YO Ranch Hotel, Kerrville, TX

12/3/12 – "It is with great humility and excitement that my husband Monte and I have placed my monument, "Mary, Mother of Jesus" in the Kerrville sculpture garden! It is thrilling to see Mary placed in such a beautiful setting and so appropriately, at the foot of the Cross! In this sculpture, Mary is reaching out, inviting people to know her Son, to come rest in Him, to know of His sacrifice and the glory of His resurrection. Have you ever wondered what happened to that crown made of thorns that was placed on Jesus' head prior to His crucifixion? Perhaps it fell to the ground when His body was removed from that cross and perhaps Mary picked it up and placed it in a secret place. That which had pierced the brow of her Son, had pierced her heart as well. But Mary also knows, just as we do, that Jesus left something else behind. He left behind The Empty Cross!! Our prayer is that millions of people are drawn to this special place in Kerrville, and that any who do not know Jesus will come to experience Him there. Those who do know Jesus will come away refreshed, renewed and reminded of the One who has promised to never leave us or forsake us! Eventually, the entire place, as other sculptures are dedicated and construction is complete, will tell the Story to every heart!" Beverly Paddleford, Donor Artist, Lander, WY

227

12/3/12 – “Why did we donate the sculpture? "We donated "It Is Finished" because we believe in the vision of the sculpture garden. I had drawn out the design for the sculpture in 2008, and when Max showed me the vision for the property from the highest point, I showed him my sketch of the sculpture. He asked me if I would donate it and I immediately said yes. Max has mentored me since 2002. This was not only a way to show my gratitude for all he as done, but even more important, it was my way of giving back to The Lord. My heart's desire is to see souls won for Christ and this is a way to do it. What is the meaning of the piece? "It Is Finished" represents the three nails that held Jesus to the cross. I wanted to create a contemporary sculpture that would draw people to it. "It Is Finished" are the last three words that Jesus spoke before He gave up His Spirit. I wanted a more tangible meaning to express exactly what "It Is Finished" means, so I asked The Lord for a subtitle to bring it home and what I heard is, "The End Of Religion.....The Beginning Of Relationship With The Father." I believe this says it all." David Broussard, Donor Artist, Dallas, TX

12/3/12 – "Sherry, my wife of 38 years, and I have given my artwork, our volunteer time and our money to this special project since God first called us on 12/9/01 to build a Christ- honoring Sculpture Prayer Garden for the glory of God. We believe this is our destiny. God has prepared and equipped us, along with the help of other dedicated Christians across the USA, to lift up Jesus Christ on a mountain in the Texas Hill Country. God has blessed our lives. Therefore we want to bless others with this free spiritual garden park, so they may find the peace, power and love of God in their own lives." Max Greiner, Jr., Donor Artist, Kerrville, TX

12/1/12 - “Hey Max God bless you! We met yesterday and wanted to just leave a summary of our experience at the cross. I prepared an event there the first week of November with a really good traditional Baptist friend of mine. He brought about 12 of his male leaders for the meeting at the cross. We began corporate prayer and the Holy Ghost fell and the Baptist preacher approached me and asked me to pray that he might receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit (Empowerment Baptism). As I laid hands on him and prayed, he fell to the ground and began to speak in Tongues as the Spirit of God gave him utterance! Over the next 40 minutes or so half of his men were Baptized with the Holy Ghost and that Baptist preacher was still flat on his face on the backside of the cross! God moved mightily and we continued in the presence of the LORD for two hours. We left and glorified the LORD all the way back to San Antonio. The pastor took his whole church back to the cross that Sunday where they had an Impartation Service where several of his members were touched by God and filled with the Holy Ghost! We love you Max!” Rev. Keith & Tawnya Sanford, San Antonio, TX.

11/23/12 – “It’s awesome (the garden). The power of God is overshadowing. It’s great, really cool. It is holy ground, a place designed by God to touch people. People are drawn there by God. It is a very special thing. Everyone who sets foot on the property feels the presence of the LORD.” Jim Beard, Bryan, TX

11/20/12 – “There will be 24 hours a day prayer here. Security, God will protect this place. People will come here from around the world to receive miracles. There will be chaplains on rotating shifts to serve people. I see acceleration of donations and publicity.” Dale & Gene Gentry, Austin, TX

11/19/12 – “Max, just wanted to tell you that you are such an inspiration to me. You will never know how your life has influenced mine. There are many times I wish I had just a pinch of the stuff you display each and every day. Thanks for being on display for this world and me in particular. You are a good friend to Jesus and me!” Dr. Wayne Rux, Austin, TX

11/18/12 – “Thanks for sending these awesome pictures! What a glorious place you are creating!!” Dr. Jack & Anna Marie Sheffield, Deep River Ministries, San Antonio, TX

228

11/14/12 – "I learned more about God from your (Garden audio testimony) CD in one hour than I have sitting in church my entire life! My leg has really been hurting me and I told Gordon we needed to go to IHOP and get it fixed! Following the dedication service and your prayer, I noticed that my knee was not bothering me anymore. I wondered if the healing could be real and why God would waste His time on me. My knee hurt so bad I could not sleep at night and it felt like it was broken. It hurt so bad. So, I was amazed that it didn't hurt anymore. All week I tried to do things I could not do, but my knee was healed and I have no pain anymore!" Shirley Gordon, Kerrville, TX

11/13/12 – “There is definitely something special about this place (the Garden)!” Mona Rollison, Bandera, TX

11/9/12 – “Wow Max. The sculptures are beautiful. This is so exciting. Thank you for your faithfulness and persistence. God's dream is coming to pass, sculpture by sculpture. Many blessings to you my friend!” Dr. Joseph Peck, VA

11/9/12 – Dedication of four monumental sculptures at the front entrance of the garden with government officials.

11/9/12 – “Thank you, Max. You know this weekend we are celebrating Veteran’s Day. That day is to recognize those men and women who give their lives so that you and I may experience Liberty and Freedom. Here we are standing next to this sculpture of the Cross which gives us another way to focus on that individual who gave His life for all of us for that salvation. So it’s appropriate that we tie the two together today. That for the Veterans who gave their lives we have One Who gave His life. We have this dedication of the sculptures that surround that. So thank you Max and all your organization for a job well done.” Jack Pratt, Kerrville Mayor, Kerrville, TX

11/9/12 – “This is where life changes, and here’s the Cross. The LORD bless you, sir. I’m proud of you!” Buster Baldwin, Commissioner Precinct 1, Kerrville, TX

11/9/12 – “Kerrville’s hospitality industry is really pleased to see the addition of Beverly Paddleford, David Broussard, and Max’s sculptures join “The Empty Cross” here in The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden. Religious Tourism is really growing as a main form of tourism. It is a form of tourism where people individually or groups travel for mission fellowship or leisure purposes. This is one of the things I’m confident that it won’t be long as quickly as this is growing. The momentum has started. I think it will continue to flow pretty quickly. I can certainly envision where this will be one of the top religious attractions in the country. It will be joining Billy Grahams’ prayer facility in North Carolina, or the Temple in Salt Lake City, or the old church there in New York City. There is just all kinds of potential for Faith tourism here in Kerrville. And we are so glad to be a part of that. We thank each of the volunteers, the artist and the promoters that have made this possible.” Charlie McIlvain, Executive Director, Convention & Visitors Bureau, Kerrville, TX

11/9/12 - “It’s truly an honor to be a part of this very special day, today. I came to town just as I think a lot of the momentum started going for this particular project. 2009 was a very important year for this project which really kind of marked the zenith of the problem in the launch of the project that you now see behind you. It has been pretty amazing to watch them overcome. For those of us who have been here for a while, and know some of the background of what happened, that made all of this possible, this is truly an inspirational story. I think you can truly see the guided hand of God through the process, to see where we are today. I think about the way the land was acquired. I think about the way the cross sculpture was acquired. These beautiful art pieces and sculpture pieces are going to be gracing this property, is just another example of how all these things are coming together.

229

It’s truly amazing. I think we have a miracle right here in front of our very eyes, as we see this happen. One thing I can say, and it has been my great pleasure to get to know Max a little bit over this process too. One thing that has shocked me, I’d be a nervous wreck. I’d be falling all over the place. Max has always had a smile on his face. He’s always said, “Todd, No Worries, it will happen in somebody else’s time. It’s not my time. It will happen.” Max, it’s happening… your vision. Again, this is a wonderful gift to our community. It’s a wonderful gift to our region, to our society, to our country, to the world. This is a fantastic gift. Thank you, Max and everybody who is making that happen. This is going to be and already has been a place of life changes. There are going to be weddings. There are going to be people who are going to find God here. There are going to be all sorts of other life changes that we can’t even contemplate that are going to happen at this place. Again, I can’t put words to how much this is going to mean to us. Yes, there is going to be an impact of visitors to our community. But it goes well beyond that. It goes beyond that. This place is such a special place. Again, I would like to give applause to Max and his team!” Todd Parton, City Manager, Kerrville, TX

11/13/12 – “Looks phenomenal…Praise God. May many come to KNOW our living Savior through these gardens. I can’t wait to hear future stories, testimonies!” Dr. Val Robinson, Biblical Arts Center, Dallas, TX

11/9/12 – "The story of The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden is a story about pure obedience to God's personal words, to us and many others. The Holy Spirit confirmed His will for our family with an amazing sign and wonder that was witnessed by a small group of believers. On September 16, 2005, 22 Christians gathered on the property and prayed, if it was His will, for God to provide the land to build a beautiful spiritual garden, to bring honor and souls to Jesus . At the time, I silently prayed to see a hawk in the sky, if our family was to purchase the 23 acres of land on IH-10 for The Coming King Foundation. My "fleece" was instantly answered following my prayer when almost a dozen wild hawks suddenly appeared over our heads! Our family supports this project because we believe it is one of the purest methods we have ever seen to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. It is void of religion and doctrinal differences. The pure Holy Spirit leads Dad's kids to the saving work of Jesus Christ, at this free spiritual garden in Kerrville, TX." Hershel Reid, Pilot Point, TX

8/9/12 – “A local news station ran a story about The Cross at Kerrville. Kerrville is a small town located near San Antonio, Texas and sits at the same latitude as Israel. This 77.7 foot cross is located on Interstate 10, in a prayer garden, where people come free of charge to spend quiet time with God. “The Empty Cross” is a sculpture built by Max Greiner, a Texas sculptor, and symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus. It is an impressive sculpture, but that is not what the news story was about. The cross was erected in 2010 and since that time The Coming King Foundation has documented many people who have said they experienced God’s presence and even God’s healing while there. People have seen angels, small orbs of light and have talked about gold dust which has fallen on them while at the cross. I was drawn to the news story out of curiosity in the beginning, and out of a sense of call by its end. Is The Cross at Kerrville a place where God is doing miracles? A lot of people sincerely believe it is.” Janet Denison, Dallas TX, Janet Denison Blog”

8/6/12 – “Some musings on the Kerrville cross story: Yes, that was my hand in the story that suddenly contained the metallic, glittery substance.

Joe Conger, CBS KENS 5 TV News Reporter, San Antonio, TX

8/6/12 – “I wanted to share my ongoing story of the power of the cross on the hill. I have been two times, three weeks ago and then the morning of my birthday two weeks ago and I got the four CDs being given away. I would say I’m probably a toddler in my relationship with the Lord, thought it would be a good way to start of this next year (at the cross). So I started playing the CDs in my car everywhere I go. I have become consumed with it to the point sleep is a rarity for me I sing in my sleep. I sing when I am falling asleep or I wake myself up singing the songs or part of all of them. All hours of the night. I must fall asleep again a dozen times a night. It is unbelievable! Wonderful but man am I tired lol can’t seem to turn it off. I sing at work, everywhere. But, also that the power of the Holy Spirit and the Lord is so powerful up at that cross and it is working in me. I believe it to be the beginning of something very big in my life. So, I wait patiently for Jesus to tell me and to use me. I’m unsure why I am so touched by music and songs from the DJ up there and the cross. It is so beautiful and energizing I prayed the prayers and walked around it 7 times humming the songs, I didn’t know the words. I do now, even in a sleeping state. I just wanted to share the effect of it on me with you....it’s not over yet will keep you updated.” Becky Bowen, Kerrville, TX

He learned that from my wife and I about Easter a few weekends ago and he immediately recognized the Empty Cross sculpture at your property and said those words. What a blessing as a father to hear your son talk about Jesus when he sees the cross! I followed the conversation and debate about your project back when it was in the news. Although I’m not ashamed of the cross and I openly profess Christ, I did have a few minor reservations during the process. Those reservations went away when the cross was erected and I realized it was well done and it was prominent, yet not overwhelming. Thank you for persevering, while also adhering to the laws and rules we are governed by, which allowed that precious moment yesterday with my son.” Carson Conklin, Kerrville, TX

4/15/12 – “In these last days the Lord has raised you up (Max Greiner) to be a beacon of light to His children. There are many souls who are very silent but whom the Lord has touched nevertheless through your story. Max you were raised at such a time like this for this particular project which He wants established. No other person could have done or accomplished what you have done. It is with great honor I would like to say in the words of Chaim Herzog to President Truman - "It is for such a time as this that the Lord formed thee in thy mother’s womb". Please do not be discouraged or disheartened. The Lord your God is with you and will continue to sustain you in every endeavor.

11/20/11 - “The ongoing ministry at the Sculpture Prayer Garden is a powerful example of our LORD’s presence in this place. I have observed incredible signs and wonders consistently at the base of the cross, each time I have visited. In fact, the signs have continued after leaving the hilltop location, and visiting in Kerrville, after scheduled gatherings at the cross. On Wednesdays each week, Mims Johnston has led prayer for the community, this country as well as the world at the garden site. Her ministry has been a tremendous advantage to many lost souls, who have gotten saved each week, in addition to the numerous healings that happen all the time at the cross location, when believers join together during these special ministry gatherings, for the needs of others. This is the most important result of the garden: the work of Jesus Christ through Believers who come to the site and experience the power of His presence. It is amazing to me that the garden is not complete, yet the work on the cross by our LORD is at work at this location and is drawing people from all over the world.” Ron Hicks, Boerne, TX

11/15/11 – “In regard to our experience at the Cross of The Coming King, myself, along with a group of 4 other girls went out to the cross last week, and all left covered in glory dust, along with eyes that were opened wide to His manifest presence! We spent a couple hours worshiping, reading God's Word, taking communion, praying and prophesying over each other, and spending time in His presence! Right at 11 am, on 11/11/11, a group showed up for a wedding and we had to leave. This was a prophetic symbol to us that what we prayed for was sealed and finished in that moment, and that we, the Bride of Christ, are waiting anxiously for the return of our King! The wedding commenced that day, and we are quite confident His manifest presence was filling the atmosphere in that place in a powerful way! I plan on making many more trips out to the Cross. Thanks again for your willingness to sow into the Kingdom in this way! Many have been blessed, and even many more will come to the saving knowledge of Christ, and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, in that place! We are forever changed by our face-to-face visit with God that day, and can't wait to share our testimonies with many others!” Chris & Courtney Bruce, Boerne, TX

11/11/11 - "I listened to the message you gave about the vision, the building and transportation of that gigantic steel cross to the mountain in Kerrville, Texas. I particularly like the way you weave Scripture into the story of bringing this cross to the prayer garden to Texas. It is evidence of the gracious hand of God that is upon you and this vision. Every vision that God gives will bring opposition from the enemy of our souls, the devil. However,

237

you will win victoriously. My role, as I envision it at this early stage of my thinking is to be a partner with you in publicizing your story to make my readers aware of what is happening and the great opportunity God is giving you to share the Gospel with millions of people.

The accusing tongues, the wagging has to stop. No weapon formed against them(TCKF) will prosper. God of vindication, I see Him shutting the mouths of the lions. I see favor with politicians with local and federal government, ministers, pastors, leaders promoting them (TCKF). Doors of power God are opening, power doors, these doors are opened by God through men of great influence, power doors. I see a wind coming. I see dead bones, and the bones will be alive, bringing in finances. Things are coming into place. There is a settling. There’s a connecting with unsaved men of authority. I see them cutting through the red tape, divinely connecting them. Here is a new vision: I see a serpent in the garden. God is going to close that door, not the best thing for him, the serpent, who influenced in the garden and brought deception. We are called to be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove.” Christina Foor, Casper, WY (Prophecy given to Norman & Allison Wilson for TCKF in Wyoming.)

10/10/11 – “I came to Kerrville to visit my daughter, Dru Williamson, with a heavy heart. I felt life was over for me and that I have never been forgiven by God for my sins. I felt like I was nothing and had no one to love me. I was scared I would die alone. Then Dru took me to the Cross one Wednesday night and I came away a different person. The wonderful people there put their hands on me and prayed for me. I came away with a whole new outlook on life. I now pray and feel Jesus warmth and comfort. I am a different person. I am so happy and at peace. I owe it all to the visit to THE CROSS.” Mary K. Wright, Houston, Texas

What a beautiful sight that was. The cross standing high on the hill gave us such a sense of peace. Then, a day or so later we drove down the highway toward Comfort and were again reminded of God’s love as we saw the beautiful pastures with old barns and the sheep, goats and deer grazing and the bales of hay in the fields. What a wonderful place to live. The people of the Hill Country are some of the most friendly, generous and God-loving people you could ever want to meet. It is no wonder the area is so popular among tourists. I can’t imagine why anyone would object to a cross on the hill. The sky shining through it reminds me of the love God has for His people. Now, cell phone towers that are too numerous to count might make you feel safe because they allow you to make a telephone call, but they don’t give you the same sense of peace as the cross does. I pray that those traveling down Interstate 10 , especially if they are tired and struggling, may feel the assurance that God cares for them and is traveling with them.

11/8/10 - "Constance Woods, Suzanna Tucker & I went to the cross on Saturday around 3:00, we left at 5:15! We had a good time looking & walking around talking about the Garden. While we were at the Lion of Judah circle the ladies were taking pictures of the cross from that angle. Suzanna turned to me and as I looked at her face, she had "Glory Dust" around her eyes! I commented on it (you know me, I never get excited about it!) and said to her, "God must really have something for you to see." She said, "She and Constance were talking about perceiving from God driving to the cross!" About that time Constance looked at her hands, they were covered with Glory Dust! We had a Hallelujah time! As we were walking back to the cross, a pick-up with a man and woman arrived and got out of their vehicle. But, by the time we walked up they left. I have no idea who it was. The ladies are going to send us the pictures they took at the cross. Now to the most exciting time there! For me, anyway! We stood inside the cross & prayed the rest of the time we were there. Suzanna got so tired she had to go to the car. Constance and I stayed in the cross. God gave Constance 4/5 new songs that she sang along with our praying in English and our heavenly language. It was truly awesome! This is a quote from Constance Woods: Just walking into the Cross I felt the presence of God tangibly. As we prayed, adoration came up out of my belly, to Yeshua Homisha. We were truly in the Holy of Holies releasing songs to Him. I did not want to leave. Constance Woods. God is so awesome!" Rev. Fern Lancaster, Former TCKF Trustee, Kerrville, TX

10/27/10 – “Most people as children, go to church and learn of God, and Jesus, his Son. How Jesus came to Earth as man, suffered for our sins, was crucified, died, and arose from the dead. As we grow older, we forget our need to continue our relationship with God, thinking we can go it alone. This cross and it's prayer garden will be a reminder to millions as they travel down the highway of life, that God is still there, waiting, wanting to be in our life, to carry our burden's. Hopefully, they will remember what they have learned, and rededicate their life to God and let Him be in control of their life again.” Bill Decker, Port Neches, TX

10/26/10 – “When you know it's there, you want to see it, this majestic cross, "towering o'er the wrecks of time." Then actually to stand at the foot of this same cross, between its shafts, and offer prayers to our powerful Savior still on high. When I lived in Pennsylvania, we took houseguests to see the battlefields of Gettysburg--where the sculpture was of soldiers, singly or in groups, or of marble tombs. Here in Texas, I've become acquainted with Max Greiner's life-size figures of my life-giving Savior ministering to Peter, seeking the lost, coming again in glory. I had thought to see these only in Max's workshop, but a month ago I walked the ground where these will stand in Kerrville and I prayed at the base of the newly raised giant cross, "Yes, Lord, make it happen!" Dr. George B. Biggs, PhD, Georgetown, TX

10/26/10 – “We want o take this time to say thank you for following the vision of the Lord. The ‘Cross’ was absolutely breath-taking as we were traveling near IH-10.

Everyone I have talked to about it that live out of state and in, want to go see it when they come to visit us. That is just the tip of the iceberg. I think it will draw many from all over. It is a very positive thing for our economy. God says, Give and it will be given unto you pressed down shaken together and running over. Max Greiner you and those who have supported the vision God gave you have surely given, and now, not only will you and those reap, but it will overflow onto the whole town!” Kim Larranaga, Kerrville, TX

10/25/10 – “I did drive by the Cross this weekend... twice. -coming and going- Had a peaceful feeling that it overlooked the city of Kerrville with God's blessings.

10/ 25/10 – “Our state and nation have been blessed by the hard work, perseverance, and artistic talent of Max Greiner, since he has created powerful monument to historical events, giving us a graphical portrayal of those events, and revealing their impact on our lives today. Max has also become an inspiration to many because of his personal sacrifice and perseverance and in pursuing his dream "against all odds" and bringing it to where it is today. I believe that Max, by virtue of his relentless pursuit of the destiny he has embraced, not only will be an inspiration to others to follow their dreams and make an impact on our society, but will revive the appreciation we once held for noble, heroic pursuits.” Jan Scott, Dallas, TX

10/25/10 – “The Coming King" prayer gardens are an inspiration to me on several levels. First, the cross is a symbol of an open invitation to a relationship with God, and as such is a powerful inspiration of forgiveness and peace. Secondly, the sculptures and artwork make the prayer garden a place that will draw many people to see heroic historical events in dramatic portrayal, making them even more relevant to our life today. Finally, the challenge accepted by Max Greiner in beginning this project, and then persevering against all odds, sets him apart as not only an artist, but a contemporary man of heroic vision and determination. Frankly, we need many more like him. God bless Max Greiner.” Richard Scott, Dallas, TX

10/24/10 – “You guys have left us a legacy. Your steadfastness, to stand and not give up on what God has called you to do is an inspiration to all of us. That’s you! Thank you!” Loraine LeMond, Kerrville, TX

Even in its unfinished condition, people are coming to pray and spend time at the cross! Its location, in the gateway entrance of our city, makes it both accessible and inviting, and I believe it is just a matter of time before it becomes a resource that creates significant revenue for local businesses by the visitors it attracts.

It is an irresistible invitation to a relationship with the Living Lord. The Garden will speak to the many searchers and reinforce the faith of others. Many of Christ’s followers began their quest as curious by-standers. His message made them believers. The cross will attract the curious. The Garden and your crew of volunteers, have an opportunity to introduce them to the living Lord. I believe The Empty Cross will be a magnet drawing the seekers. It will come to symbolize this fine, Christian city, welcoming and comforting the burdened. I expect to hear people say, ‘You are from Kerrville: you must be proud to live in a city that is not ashamed to tell the world Christ is our guiding light.’ I am glad the Lord sent Max and a number of visionaries willing to stand up for Jesus.” Col.

Kerrville is destined to become a destination attraction!” Dr. Bruce Cook, TCKF Trustee, Austin, TX

9/4/10 – “I think this Prayer Garden will be able to reach a lot of people with God’s Word that would not seek God in conventional ways, i.e. like going to church or watching it on TV. I feel like we will have an overwhelming amount of people who will come to Jesus, once this Prayer Garden is complete.

8/28/10 “I am amazed at the hulabaloo over the cross on the hill. Don’t you people have anything else to complain about? There is crime in the streets, child and elderly abuse on the rise, high cost of groceries and gas, lack of respect from the younger and older generations, bad driving habits of all ages, pants worn under the rear end and breast hanging out of tops and the CROSS bothers you? Seriously? If you are bothered by it, don’t

256

look at it. I am sure you can fix your eyes on something more pleasing. As for me, I think it is great and not an eyesore at all. I see that cross as well as any as a sign of victory, not suffering. Jesus died for mine and your sins. You can believe it or not. I do believe it. But for goodness’ sake folks, drop it already!” Ginny Clendennen, Center Point, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

8/28/10 – “I’m not a very religious man. Except for a funeral or two, I can’t remember the last time I set foot in a church. I really can’t understand all the contention over this cross thing. Maybe it does smack a bit of idolatry, but so what! It’s not hurting anyone. And, it is certainly none of my business, or anyone else’s. I haven’t been out a single dime, or lost one minute of sleep because some Christians wanted to put up a symbol of their faith. I do it every day. I display the American flag, and will continue to do it whether it offends people or not. I have a right to do that, and so do the folks that put up that cross. It’s called freedom of expression. If it offends some people, then they can simply choose not to look at it.” Robert C. McCollum, Ingram, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

8/22/10 – “That is one awesome cross!” Rick Joyner, Morning Star Ministries, Fort Mills, SC

8/21/10 – “To the Christians: The Cross is up, like it or not. I am sure Satan loves to see us throwing rocks at each other over its validity. There is plenty to do to help others; we all have causes out there that we support and do not support, but that does not mean we come down on each other over them. If you do not like the Cross, then do not look at it, Why not take the high ground and go help those in need, with the attitude of Love and Compassion for others like Jesus called us to do. The Cross is there to stay much longer than any of us are. How about changing our focus to do something good and not bashing our Christian Family? Times are getting tougher and we need to stand together as the Family of God.” Radley Cornell, Boerne, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

8/15/10 – “I think ‘The Empty Cross’s may be the most significant sculpture I have ever created. This piece of art has already touched the lives of millions of people and it has only been up two weeks! People are already getting blessed, saved, healed and set free at the cross!” Max Greiner, Jr. , Artist & TCKF President, Kerrville, TX

8/14/10 – “I’ve been doing this (casting bronze sculptures) for over 26 years and we have cast around 5,000 monuments. This one (The Empty Cross) is different. This one leaves me without words. We are a part of something here much bigger than us. It’s by far the most significant project we have ever been a part of. This is the beginning of something very big for God to begin a new chapter. It’s very, very significant. The cross will transcend the Garden, Kerrville and Texas. It will have world impact. People will be drawn to it supernaturally. People will feel that they have to go there and see it.“ Monte Paddleford, Owner Eagle Bronze, Lander, WY

8/14/10 – “Max, Thanks for being faithful to what God put in your heart. Your perseverance alone will be a great encouragement to many believers to not grow faint in the battle. And, I believe the cross will be a beacon to many calling them to come to the foot of the cross. Thank you dear brother, your tenacious faith is a great encouragement to me. May God continue to build His kingdom through your labors.” Brad Bright, President & CEO, Bright Media/ Campus Crusade For Christ, Orlando, FL

8/14/10 – “How judgmental an argument against the cross, that the money would be better spent on hungry children. One could say that about any monument, whether – religious or military, patriotic – absolutely anything anyone chooses to spend money on. Would Mr. Harrison of Fredericksburg appreciate anyone telling him the appropriate use of his money?

257

Perhaps a bill dropped into the Salvation Army bucket, rather than at a movie theatre?” Cindy Holmes, Kerrville, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

8/14/10 - "To all the dedicated, wonderful people!!! What a magnificent, glorious undertaking!!!! What a fantastic piece of work!!!" Edward Earp, Jr., Fredericksburg, TX

8/14/10 - “Well, the Cross has been raised and , due to its distance from the highway, is not as overbearing as some feared. As far as Mr. Harrison’s concern about feeding the children, the amount spent in a month on deer corn and pet foods would feed a lot more children.” John Vece, Kerrville, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

8/11/10 – “Thank you for building the cross. When I go up there I feel at peace.” Matthew Brown (age 10) Kerrville, TX

8/11/10 – “Spectacular! The cross creates a sense of peace and hope. It is a great symbol for our community that will cause people passing through to take a second look at Kerrville.” Bob Schmerbeck, Garrett Insurance Agency, Kerrville, TX

8/11/10 – “The point missed by Mr. Harrison of Fredericksburg and others is that the Cross is not an end in itself…it is a magnet, an evangelical tool, a multiplier. People will be drawn to the Cross as they have been for the millennia. Those drawn to the Cross will become disciples, and disciples will give to feed the poor. More disciples, more giving. Even the secular press reports that Christian communities lead the pack in charitable giving. The Cross is part of the “hardware” for this effort. A simple gift of money or food does little; spend it once and it’s gone, a fact too easily missed by Bono and other crusaders against global poverty. The Cross is the seed of a larger effort. I would leave Mr. Harrison with the words of an old hymn: There’s room at the Cross for you.” Dr. John C. Key, MD, Kerrville, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

8/10/10 – “May I tell you just how awesome and wonderful it is that the cross is up on the Kerrville site, just off IH-10?! What an incredible blessing it is to me to see it each and every day as I go to work or travel around town. It can be seen from so far away and it never fails to remind me that He who loves us is watching over us! I love “The Empty Cross”, such and inspiration. He (Jesus) truly is coming soon! Thank you for your courage and strength in fighting the good fight for it. It is well worth it and I am so happy that it is accomplished. Your crown, if only worn for a moment until laid at His feet, is undoubtedly earned. Bless and thank you so much.” Linda Lake, Kerrville Resident

8/10/10 – “The cross is beautiful! It is amazing!” Lindsay Andrews, Kerrville, TX

8/ 9 /10 – “What an impressive project! It was fun to read about it on the internet. We are delighted to contribute to this magnificent dream. Blessings!” Jack D. Vetter, The Vetter Foundation, Elkhorn, NE

8/9/10 – “Like the American flag that was raised in World War II at Iwo Jima, we believe God will use the raising of ‘The Empty Cross’ to energize and inspire Christians across our land to rise up and fight for the Christian principles that founded this great country.” Max Greiner, Jr. Artist & TCKF President, Kerrville, TX

8/9/10 “The cross really does take your breath away! It’s dignified and awe-inspiring. It is extremely difficult to look away from it once you see it. Thanks to The Coming King Foundation for making our world aware of Kerrville, TX. The national publicity it has received for the Sculpture Prayer Garden is enormous, and the publicity and awareness of

258

the City of Kerrville is great for our economy. As the Garden is developed and the beautiful art is put in place, the rocky cedar covered hillside will become a place of beauty and serenity that will attract visitors for generations to come. These visitors will eat, sleep and shop in Kerrville, making a positive growth impact on our hospitality industry.” Sudie Burditt, Director, Kerrville Visitors & Convention Bureau

8/4/10 – “I find it interesting to read the letters criticizing the cross by folks who say they are Christians, My only response is to quote the Word of God in 1 Corinthians 1:18. ‘The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.’ Maybe some folks need to re-evaluate their lives concerning the status according to the scriptures.” Johnny Sharp, Kerrville, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

8/2/10 – “Awesome! Breathtaking! The cross is dignified and so inspirational. I could never have imagined the dignity.” Sudie Burditt, Director, Kerrville Convention & Visitors Bureau, Kerrville, TX

8/2/10 – “I saw the article in the San Antonio paper and just wanted to let you know that, like many others across the country that I am sure have read the article, am very happy for your organization. May GOD continue to bless you all with these victories and many more. We look forward to being able to visit in the future. We also will be looking at making a financial contribution in some amount. Our prayers are with you.” Charles & Gloria Young, San Antonio

7/31/10 – “The 77-foot cross going up was controversial. Jesus said, ‘Choose this day whom you will serve.’ I, as a sinner, saved by His blood on that cross, say as for me and my house, we will serve Jesus. I believe when we see Him, Jesus will say, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’ To the unbelievers, He will say, ‘Depart from Me. I never knew you.’ It’s your choice. Be certain you make the right and forever decision. Seven is called the number of completion, So is 77. God bless the raisers of the cross.” B. Mike Hall, Kerrville, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

7/31/10 – “Kudos to Max Greiner! I think his inspiration to put up a 77-foot cross is miraculous. Those who think this is being “pushed” upon them need to rethink what their objection really is. In this country we should be free to celebrate our religious beliefs. Mr. Greiner is celebrating his faith by having a memorial erected in honor of it. He had to fight the good fight to get to this point, but he believed enough to do it! Isn’t that what makes America great? I wish I lived in Texas. You complainers need to try living up here in New York. There are tons of restrictions, rules and regulations to stifle every thought, idea or inspiration that might spring to mind. IF that is what you’re looking for, COME ON UP! Thanks, Mr. Greiner, I can’t wait to see!” Diane Able, Rochester, NY (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

7/31/10 – “Praise the Lord! Erect the cross and when you are done with this one, there is a place in Casper, WY that call for a cross to be erected here. Please keep up the great work and keep up the prayers. We need to be reminded daily that Jesus Christ is the way, truth and the life. Amen!” Ingrid Borah, Casper, WY (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

7/29/10 – “Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! Thank you for lifting high the cross! We thank God for this and you all carrying through.” Peace13 (Email)

259

7/28/10 – “EVERY OAK TREE STARTED OUT AS A NUT THAT STOOD ITS GROUND! Dad, you did it. Relax for a while and enjoy it. We’re proud.” Diana Shay (Greiner) & Justin Evans, Dallas, TX

7/28/10 – “People need inspiration and symbols of hope, and even though this cross is controversial (and not your preference), it serves a larger purpose. These people followed the rules and worked out the dispute with their neighbors, so I think it is money well spent.” Everrest (Internet Blog)

7/27/10 – “It’s (“The Empty Cross”) going to bless this community forever and ever and ever!” Max Greiner, Jr., Kerrville, TX

7/27/10 – “I love the cross and what it stands for: Empty because Jesus is not there anymore. I look forward to seeing it! I think the rock work at the site is beautiful, and it will draw people to go and look, maybe by curiosity alone. When they go, they will find the plan of salvation. That is the reason for the garden!!! To lead people to Christ. I know there are many other ways to do this – have church! But many will never enter a church because they do not feel comfortable or worthy doing so, even though none of us should feel like we have to be GOOD ENOUGH to go to church. But, maybe, just maybe, they will go up the hill to the garden. The benefactors of the garden have chosen this to be their way to spread the Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ!” Judy Stephens Carpenter, Kerrville, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Facebook)

7/27/10 – “This is the largest sculpture we have ever done. This will be here for hundreds of years.” Monte Paddleford, Owner- Eagle Bronze Foundry, Lander, WY

7/27/10 – “It is easier to find the Negative in a project than to find the POSITIVE. As people we tend to judge others on the surface level. Might I propose a question: For all the critics, have you searched to find the HEART of the PROJECT? It is for GOD’S KINGDOM. MANY souls will be SAVED. That, you cannot put a price tag on!!! “ Ryan Huff, Kerrville, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Facebook)

7/27/10 – “This cross will put Kerrville on the map!” Kerrville stranger addresses Associated Press San Antonio photographer

7/27/10 – “This cross will put Kerrville on the world map!” Associated Press San Antonio photographer

7/27/10 – “It’s bigger that I thought, but that is good!” Bonnie Ahrens, Kerrville, TX

7/27/10 – “It’s gorgeous!” Elaine Richardson, Kerrville, TX

“THE EMPTY CROSS” Is Erected Over IH-107/27/10

7/23/10 – “The recent letter about the 77-foot cross being an eyesore to some Christians and that buildings would be less an eyesore is really amazing. If you are a Christian, the cross represents our Savior Jesus Christ who came and died for our sins. When we accept

260

HIM, we have ETERNAL life. It does not take a lot of study or research, or even faith, to find that truth. So, I say Supersize that cross and make it as big as it can be. I am not offended or embarrassed, but proud to be a Christian. The second giant symbol you can put on that hill, right below the cross, is the American flag. I am as proud to be an American as I am a Christian, and if I remember right, so were the Founding Fathers. I do not recall any of them being a Buddhist… Nothing can make you wake up in the morning happier than being a Christian American! We need to pray for this great country of ours and ask our Lord to bless it, and to look at what is great about Kerrville and not what is bad. It is one of the most beautiful places in these United States and so are the people who live here. If you are a Christian and an American and are offended by the size of a cross or American flag, it might be time for a checkup from the neck up. Good thing I am not on the City Council, or I would vote to supersize the cross and the flag. May the Lord bless the United States of America!” Brad Cornell, Houston, TX (Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor)

7/21/10 – “Thanks to TCKF for making our world aware of Kerrville, Texas. The national publicity you have received for the Sculpture Prayer Garden is enormous, so much more that we could ever buy. The publicity and awareness of the City of Kerrville is great for the economy. As the Garden is developed and the beautiful art is put in place, the rocky, cedar covered hillside will become a place of beauty and serenity that will attract visitors for generations to come. These visitors will eat, sleep and shop in Kerrville, making a positive impact on our hospitality industry.” Sudie Burditt, Executive Director, Kerrville Convention & Visitors Bureau

7/21/10 - “The harvest in plentiful, but the workers are few…Thank you for your toil in the soil my dear brother. Our Lord is quite pleased with you and your obedience to the advancement of His Kingdom. Please remember the old African Proverb: If you want to go fast – go alone. If you want to go far – go together! Thank you for the updates. Take good care and many blessings!” Rob Moss, Phoenix, AZ

7/20/10 – “After much thought and research, it is my opinion that The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden will be good for Kerrville! The art will be world class and I feel the gardens will be tastefully done and an inviting attraction for our community. Similar gardens such as the 190 foot cross and bronze sculptures on IH-40 near Groom, TX have been an economic boom for the area, pulling up to 1,000 visitors per day off the freeway. Many who exist to visit the sculpture garden will spend time and dollars here that will enhance the prosperity of Kerrville.” Dr. Bill Rector, M.D. & lifelong Kerrville, TX resident.

7/19/10 - “What a joy to hear you at the Regional Aglow Meeting in Grapevine, see you, and then have time to fellowship with you. Your vision is huge, but our God is so much greater and He will bring it all to pass, just as He has shown you and promised. Take heart for the battle truly is His. I would say to you that there are many women He has brought you to (Aglow) and brought to you for strengthening, lifting and cheering you on for such a time as this. I believe I am such a one. There was such a Spirit witness to join what He is doing through you. There will be a praying into existence, this prayer garden and many, many other across this nation – they will be one of the signs and wonders for sure and it is an end time harvest strategy. So, I am reporting for duty Lord, to lift up this brother and his wife, and ministry. We have ignition, we have lift- off. We look to You Father for all that is needed to birth this…glory to Your name!” Judy Davis, Dallas, TX

6/16/10 – “ We feel and deep sense of the Holy Spirit’s presence and we have been honored to stand for Jesus alongside Max and Sherry and the Trustees in the last year, in the vision God put in their hearts to bring many souls to Jesus. It has been a joy to our hearts to

261

stand for Jesus, whenever He chooses to use us. It is awesome to think that it is so close to when the Cross will be going up and the Impact it is having on so many lives. To God be the glory!!!” James & Sharan Barnett, TCKF Trustees, Kerrville, TX

6/11/10 - "The Texas Hill Country region is one of the most flood prone areas in the world. God spoke to me and said: Like it is in the natural, so it will be in the spiritual. The Holy Spirit will flow out of the Hill Country and flood the world." Pastor Mike Weaver, Wild Ride Church, Fredericksburg, TX

5/18/10 – “Thank you for the update on the Sculpture Prayer Garden. I will continue to pray for the project to flourish and be a blessing to many. “ Mike Huckabee, Governor & Greiner art collector, Little Rock, AR

5/14/10 – “As we were praying for The Coming King Foundation I saw a “vision”: I saw the cross on the hill, the cross in the Prayer Garden – Kerrville, being lifted up from the ground by a heavy machine with people all around praising the Lord. I too saw that at the same time in other places across America, maybe a handful of other crosses beginning to go up. As I continued to press in for more information I hear these words in my mind, ‘This cross is being raised up from the edifice of the earth as a symbol to America that the Lord is raising up His church in a time such as this.’ A strategic time, as an outward sign of what God is doing with the church in America – taking back the high places and setting up His glorious church in their rightful place. This was to be a forerunner for many other crosses to go up across America – I saw them on every hill and high place. I saw an overview of the map of the United States and there were crosses everywhere shinning in the light of the sun, or Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Joy was overwhelming me as I looked on and continued to watch them go up. My thoughts were that in this last awakening of America, our Lord would set up a sign for all to see His hand on the church in America rising up with signs and wonders. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah!” Mims Johnston (prophetic word) Kerrville, TX

4/17/10 - "The cross will be like the Burning Bush of Moses. It will draw the attention of the people to God. The supernatural Shekinah Glory presence of God on this cross will draw people from around the world. Angels will be seen with flaming swords. Atheists will say at this place, 'Jesus is Lord. This is Holy Ground.' People will be weeping and crying here. This cross is different from any other cross before. The people who have risen up against this cross will have to bless this Garden. God will bring in millions of dollars. Get ready!" Steve Siler, Oklahoma City,OK

4/9/10 – “It is exciting for me to learn about the vision God placed in your heart!!! Let’s pray for a prayer garden in Germany…it would be amazing if God would allow such a project in the ‘land of the Reformation’!!!” Andy Wiebe, Germany

4/7/10 – “Melissa and I are so excited to see the cross go up. I just feel like it is going to be a very significant event in the spiritual world when it does. I have this feeling it will signal a shift and calling out of the Sons of God to rise up and take back the territory.” Clint Fiore, TCKF Trustee, Kerrville, TX

3/21/10 – “I believe cities have destiny like people. Kerrville has a unique destiny – serving as a beacon for the faithful and a destination for tourists from around the world. The Garden will be a tremendous draw and financial boon to the area.” Bruce Cook, PhD, TCKF Trustee, Austin, TX

262

3/21/10 – “This non-denominational spiritual Garden will be a place of peace and solitude for all who visit.” Jim McKnight, TCKF Vice-President, Kerrville, TX

3/21/10 – “There are hundreds of great sculpture gardens around the world, but this one will be special since the artwork is Christ focused and God inspired.” Max Greiner, Jr. TCKF President, Kerrville, TX

3/21/10 – “The Bible says the cross will always be offensive to some people, but to others it represents hope, love and eternal life. This Garden belongs to God and the Body of Christ, not any person, church or denomination. We are trusting God will finish what He started!” Max Greiner, Jr. , Artist/ TCKF President, Kerrville, TX

3/12/10 – “Max - Glad to hear that the (Garden) project is going well. Keep up the good work.” Max Lucado, Pastor Oak Hills Church, San Antonio, TX

3/10/10 – “I just got off the phone with Ryan --- and I am so excited that I cannot write this email fast enough! I just found out about your 77 foot Cross and the “Victory” you achieved –PRAISE THE LORD!!! I am so happy for you!! … The longer I talked to Ryan – the longer I talked the more excited I got through your struggle for the 77 foot Cross – I can identify completely with your struggle AND VICTORY!!!!!! God bless you and your team. “Pastor Phil Shaw, New Life Worship Center, Rochester, MN

3/9/10 – “It has been a honor to walk this journey and serve the Lord with you.

3/9/10 – “It was a privilege to work with you all! Keep pushing forward and continue to make peace along the way. God will bring the harvest. He is faithful. Your humble and quite example will pave the way.” Kevin Young, San Antonio, TX

3/1/10 – GOD GIVES VICTORY IN THE LAWSUIT!

2/27/10 – “The giant empty cross for the Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden means a lot to me as an emblem of my faith. I believe it should be permitted to be raised on private property that has been bought by The Coming King Foundation.” George Biggs, Georgetown, TX

2/25/10 – “Please raise the Cross that Jesus has chosen for the Sculpture Prayer Garden and allow my civil rights to worship at the feet of HIS Cross. The Cross is reminder to me and everyone the sacrifice HE made for us all. Thank you.” Shelly Moser, Kerrville, TX

2/25/10 – “Thank you for your Christian artist mission. You are greatly appreciated. You have prayer support as you plan this Christian sculpture garden along IH-10 in my home state.” Dr. Barry McKeown, University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX

2/25/10 – “I am blessed to be a part of this Sculpture Garden set here in the Texas Hill Country. Just as the garden was a special place where Jesus would meet His Father, I believe that this garden will be that for many today, some who know what The Empty Cross there means and some who will come to know.” Barbara Sullivan, Kerrville, TX

263

2/24/10 – “In regard to The Coming King Foundation’s proposed garden project at Kerrville, as 24 year residents and former business owners in the area we completely endorse the concept and believe it will be a popular attraction and enhancement to Kerrville both esthetically and economically. As the Kerrville community continues to plan and expand its tourist and convention business, this Garden, especially with its giant cross seen from IH- 10, will hold even greater value to our area in the coming years.” Lowell & Betty Hendricksen, Kerrville, TX

2/24/10 – “I am very excited about the opportunity for spiritually rich garden to be a part of our great town. The 77’7” cross that you have designed and wish to erect could only be a blessing to our town as it symbolism life itself. The cross (of Jesus) represents the beginning and end of suffering. The battle being won by giving! Giving until there is nothing left to give. Therein lies the victory in life. To live to give produces victory. And no one taught us that lesson better than Jesus did on the cross. In any case, almost any town in the USA, that has any kind of artistic garden within its borders, has increase tourism as well. How much for meaningful to have a cross garden that by its supernatural nature could affect the tourists’ hearts for a lifetime.” Theresa Whitfield, Kerrville, TX

2/23/10 – “I fully support the installation of the 77’7” cross that The Coming King Foundation desires to erect in Texas. I believe that this is a God sent message to the community, state and nation that we are still a Christian Nation!” Rev. Doyle Roberts, Church of God, Elgin, SC

2/22/10 – “We are a nation ruled by law. The rights of Mr. Greiner and The Coming King Foundation are granted under the US Constitution and the State of Texas that governed the activities on their property at the time they began this project and should be upheld. Others are free to protest, but do not allow loud protests to abridge the rule of law. Allow the raising of this cross if it is lawful to do so, and it and its message will be of great inspiration to the State of Texas and the country as a whole.” Jeann Randall, Masterpiece Christian Fine Arts Foundation, Ashland, OR

2/22/10 – “The great country of the United States of America was founded on two primary principles: A nation under God and Freedom. If the first one breaks down, then the second principle should remind us we had the right in the place. God help us when our simple foundational principles have no value.” Monte Slaver, Carrollton, TX

2/22/10 – “I heartily and enthusiastically endorse the 77’7” cross and IH-10 and Hwy 16. I think it would look wonderful and it and the prayer garden would be a wonderful asset to Kerrville.” Dr. Robert E. Carpenter, D.D.S. , Kerrville, TX

2/22/10 – “What could possibly be the negative consequences of raising the cross on the Kerrville hilltop? The cross symbolizes the attributes of Jesus Christ, which are love, honesty, compassion, hope, kindness, peace, character, integrity, respect, patience and self-control. Many of these attributes are being lost and downplayed in today’s world. We need this cross and garden to be a beacon of light and hope to modern society and the spiritually lost.” Dr. Jonathan Brooke, Brenham, TX

2/22/10 – “This (cross) sounds like a wonderful testament to the country. Your ministry should continue! Please get the cross up so all can see and feel comforted by it.” Marcella Porter, Dallas, TX

2/22/10 – “A cross is a symbol. Would you ban a heart being constructed or a peace sign? These are the kind of things the cross represents. I highly doubt that anyone can

264

legitimately say they are offended by this. Rather, anyone claiming to be offended by the cross is attacking the basic Constitutional freedoms of speech, expression and religion for their own anti-Christian agenda, and on private property to boot. The case should be thrown out. I will be personally let down by our court system if they do not have the wisdom and discretion to see this case for what it is- an immoral and unmerited attack on Christians.” Jonathan Moon, Dallas, TX

2/21/10 – “My family and I have been so excited about the Prayer Garden and The Empty Cross – we’ve read about it in the papers. It is going to be an incredibly moving place. Once that Cross is raised we’re headed to Kerrville. It is bound to be a ‘destination location’. Thank you for your work. Bless Kerrville!.” Karen Montgomery, Dallas, TX

2/21/10 – “Since the Texas hill country is certainly ‘God’s Country’, how perfect to have the cross raised there in Kerrville. I will certainly be in prayer that Satan and his powers would be bound as the opponents of this present their case. Thanks for the opportunity to take a stand for Christ.” Rose Mary Vollmering, Carrollton, TX

2/21/10 – “I absolutely support the raising of the cross and all it stands for – forgiveness and eternal salvation.” Frank Harrison, CEO Coca Cola Bottling Consolidated, Charlotte, NC

2/21/10 – “I count it an honor to support the Cross to be raised here in Kerrville, TX. Many people will have their lives spiritually and morally changed forever and that is a very good thing for our town. I believe that it will also have an economic impact because many will come to our town to see and pray at the cross.” Peggy Authement, Kerrville, TX

2/21/10 – “Raise the Cross in Kerrville, TX. The world needs to know Jesus and this is one way to do that. Non-believers should not be permitted to determine who knows Him. Raise the Cross and complete this project!” Allen Cain, Burnet, TX

11/22/09 - Dear Max & Sherry, Thank you for the blessings at the Cross today…It was so Awesome being up on God’s mountain, and praying at HIS Cross! Thank you for being such Faithful Servants and persevering though all these long and arduous years. HE will restore the years that the locusts have eaten! God bless you and have a very Blessed Thanksgiving.” Shelly Moser, Kerrville, TX

10/30/09 “THE EMPTY CROSS” SCULPTURE ARRIVES AT THE GARDEN ON THREE TRUCKS

6/25/09 – “Do not worry while others do evil. All I see is FREE ads coming your way! Your fight continues to be with the principalities of this world using man. You will be victorious! “ Marlon Quibodeaux, Beaumont, TX

6/15/09 – “Your art is wonderful and your garden project and philosophy is phenomenal!” Michael Berry, Steubenville, OH

6/10/09 – “As I was standing there waiting for my husband, I glanced over at the Garden and to my joy; I could see the Cross (very tall, dark, sturdy in looks) standing on the hill. I had a quickening in my spirit at that very moment.” Karen Gragg, Kerrville, TX

265

5/27/09 – “The cross will go up now or later. It does not matter, He is in charge. All is in His name. He is the provider of all things. If God is with us who can be against us? Trust Him and do not doubt. You are a man of God doing God’s work. Do not fear, He is with you at every breath.” Nadia Lawand, Fort Lauderdale, FL

4/5/09 – “I just wanted you to know that there are a lot of us that believe! Our prayers are with you and The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden.” Blake McKenzie, Kerrville, TX

3/20/09 – “Thanks for keeping me abreast of what God is doing through you and the prayer garden! This is exciting indeed! As Jesus is lifted up, He will draw all men to Himself! We will continue to pray for wisdom and God’s will and God’s provision!” George Roller, Center For Christian Statesmanship, Washington, DC

3/8/09 - “Families are looking for some glimmer of hope in the current shaking of everything that can be shaken. Sowing my time, prayers and contributions in the excellent soil of The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden is my way to help replace despair with the knowledge of victory won by my LORD, Jesus Christ.” Jim McKnight, TCKF Vice President, Kerrville, TX

3/8/09 - “The cross is central to Christianity and it will be the focal point of the garden.” Sherry Greiner, TCKF Trustee, Kerrville, TX

3/8/09 - “This garden will be a great evangelistic tool in our community. We can send monies to other countries and that is certainly and evangelistic option, but our nation is in crisis and needs God desperately. We can’t imagine what is in store when the garden is completed and desperate people come to observe the beauty of the artwork, not realizing the Holy Spirit will be there. I believe they will enter one way and go away touched by God. In one sentence: People will find God there!” Patsy & Lyle Jordan, Kerrville, TX

3/8/09 - “I am a supporter of the Sculpture Prayer Garden in Kerrville because I believe that Max Greiner received the idea and vision for it from the very heart of God. The Garden will be an oasis of hope and peace in an increasingly chaotic and troubled world.” Clint Richards, Tulsa, OK

3/9/18 - “I believe that is a time when spiritual markers need to be placed. Much like when the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, the stones stood as a reminder to future generations that God is in control. The Sculpture Prayer Garden will be a modern day reminder of His control.” Greg Darby of Fort Lauderdale, FL

3/8/09 - “I believe cities have a God-given destiny, just like people. Kerrville has a unique destiny, to serve as a beacon for the faithful and a destination for tourists from around the world. The Sculpture Prayer Garden will be a tremendous draw and financial boon for the local area.” Trustee, Dr. Bruce Cook, Austin, TX

2/26/09 – “Praise be to the Lord our God! The Cross is making its way along the Via Dela Rosa. Though its raising appeared to stagger and falter the Lord is calling one of Jacob’s sons, a Simon, who will hearing the call come and render aid. Blessed be the Name of the Lord Most High.” Karen Montgomery, Dallas, TX

2/6/09 – “I think the cross is a great idea. The setting is fantastic. Many people will come to Kerrville to see the cross. You need to point out to the recalcitrant neighbors that the

iconic image of Christ overlooking Rio de Janeiro has become the identifying symbol of the city, drawing millions of visitors per year. Kerrville could do worse than to have the Savior of the world at its symbolic gateway. There is a strong imperative for such a cross as you propose. Now more than ever the healing presence of the cross is needed in this country.” Clyde Pittman, Irving, TX

2/4/09 – “If I can be of any help to you in your battle over the Cross let me know. I am now the Pastor at Kerrville First Baptist. We need your work on the hill.” Dr. George Harris, First Baptist Church, Kerrville, TX

1/6/09 - “I just wanted to say God bless you for doing what you know is right. I think it is wonderful what you are doing and I am sorry you are having to endure such legal resistance. What a nightmare. I saw on TXCN your story…I have been in the military for 27 years and fought against this miscarriage of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. I saw it in Africa, Iraq and many other places. I have learned one thing is that it is the same all over the world. The biggest fools always bark the loudest. The person on the TXCN interview tried to say it is not about God. Horse Hockey! Everything is about God, and what you are doing as an artist and good Christian speak volumes to that testimony. God is alive and He is testing how people react to His existence. These fools who think their property values are going out the door do not have a clue. They will vote a Wal-Mart in faster than they will a church construction…The devil is at work on this one. My heart and prayers are with you. I support your right to build this wonderful tabernacle and to exercise your right to express your constitutional rights. There needs to be more like you to erect reminders and tributes to the greatest hero of all, Jesus Christ our LORD. Thank you again and God bless you. God is with you.” Jeffery Snell, Benbrook, TX

7/23/08 – “It sounds like the Lord is doing great things in your life and ministry. I appreciate you!” Dr. Joe White, Men at the Cross Ministry, Branson, MO

5/11/08 – “I think what you are doing will impact many people. God Bless you and all the people that are working with you.” Rev. Willfred Bigott, Zion Lutheran Church, Kerrville, TX

4/5/08 – “This is an incredible vision. I want you to invite me to the dedication of this garden!” Dr. James Dobson, Focus On The Family, Colorado Springs, CO

2/12/08 – “I SEE CHRIST in your work. It is as if the Lord Himself REVEALS Himself though the Scriptural designs you have -by His inspiration- created. Peace to you in Christ.” Dr. J.R. Russell, Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN

2/12/2008 – “Max will do anything for the Lord. These Sculpture Prayer Gardens are one of the best evangelical tools we’ve had this century.” Hershel Reid, Pilot Point , TX

1/20/08 – “About two years ago God led me to pray for monuments all over the USA where God’s word would be written and people could/would come by, read them, and be blessed by the Words. What I saw in the Spirit was that as the people would stop in front of the monument (statue), the Words would literally spring off the stone -or bronze, etc.- into their hearts and plant seeds of life. It had the feel of being a “tourist attraction” where people were drawn to the area because of a desire to see the buildings/attractions of the area. When I heard and saw your presentation yesterday, I knew that your project of faith was the essence of my prayer focus. It is even more than I even imagined. But then, that is so much like God, isn’t it. May God continue to bless you and yours richly as you labor in His ever-expanding Kingdom.” Helen Coffman, Austin, TX

12/28/07 – “I am very excited about the concept of the prayer gardens on IH-10, and in the nations for that matter.” Scott Bowen, Conroe, TX

7/16/07 – “Max – This is sooo AWESOME what God has you doing – Praise the LORD. I saw an interview with you and a lady on Channel 45 in Orlando, FL last Friday. I am in awe of what God is doing through your life and ministry. It is sooooooooo very cool. Only God could come up with such an incredible plan as this – WOW!! It makes me think of Moses. He had such a close and personal relationship with God that God have him the plans on how to make the Tabernacle. So you’re like Moses – that’s awesome!!! God bless you and thanks for being obedient to God. So many people are going to be Saved by this. It makes me want to drive all the way to Texas just to visit the site when it is built. We will more than likely take a road trip to see it then. Much love to you and your team. Your sister in Christ, our incredible LORD!” Danielle Hall, Orlando, FL

11/7/06 – “Thank you for the pictures. Arthur and I drove by the Garden site. It is and will be a beautiful site to behold the wonders of God’s plan through Jesus Christ in each of us.” Rolinda Schmidt, Kerrville, TX

10/19/07 – “Please accept this donation to further your work that God has called you to do. We look forward to seeing the finished project and are praying for your continued blessing.” Pastors Thad & Darla Marsh and Pastors Wallace & Bette Gallier, Shepherd’s Rest Foundation Ministries, Barksdale, TX

?/?/06 – “The subject of having a cross close to IH-10 over looking our community seems to have caused a bit of consternation in some people. One writer said the cross was a symbol of death. Yes, it was used to crucify people throughout the Roman Empire in time past. If people will understand the cross planned to be erected is an empty cross then this symbol takes on its true meaning. For Christians it is a reminder Jesus went to the cross willingly providing a final and perfect sacrifice to end all sacrifices. The empty cross tells us He did not stay on the cross, but rose again conquering death so we may have hope and joy as we consider eternity. As Christians we choose to embrace the promise that the empty cross provides for a solid, uncompromising faith which will sustain us for eternity. It should motivate us to be willing to sacrifice our own lives, if necessary, to bring hope to others. In America, it should also remind us we have been a very blessed people because of the faith of our founding fathers. For me, to see a cross standing over a community tells me this community has something not found elsewhere. It is a community, despite their problems and difficulties, there are people who are different and special. People I would want to be around. So, to have a cross overseeing our community can declare to everyone passing by there are people nearby who are willing to stand for hope. Such is the community I have chosen to be in and am glad there are people who are not afraid to declare it so others can find hope in what is truly represented in an empty cross.” Dr. Scott Walston, Kerrville, TX Kerrville Daily Times Letters to the Editor

8/8/06 – “The sculptures are beautiful and certain to add spirit to the main entrance of Kerrville.” Dya Celeste Campos, H.E. Butt Grocery Co. San Antonio, TX

4/15/06 – “Your new ministry project, The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden sounds so exciting, Thank you for letting God use you in this marvelous way!” Gene Blanton, Kerrville, TX

10/30/05 – “A new prophecy…tell Max that this is much bigger than he thinks. Besides reaching the lost and drawing the saved much closer to Me in their daily walks, the Gardens will also pull My church together. It breaks My heart to see My church fragmented –

268

competing against one another – criticizing on another – this simply will stop! And the Gardens will play a part. One body, one church. Amen and Amen. Tell Max to just continue to be lead, to walk in willing obedience.” John Meder, Dallas, TX

12/11/05 – “We are excited to hear about the progress of the prayer garden! We pray many come to Jesus as a result!” James & Elizabeth Stultz, Windham, ME

12/7/05 – “Glad the (garden) project is still going. We’re pulling and praying for it and you.” Jack & Gene Ward, Houston , TX

11/10/05 – “THE WATER HAS PARTED! God has worked a great miracle that was predicted and witnessed by many! Now it is reality! And the best is yet to come! This afternoon at 5:00 P.M., the 23 acres of land which cost $500,000, on IH-10 here in Kerrville, was purchased for the first Sculpture Prayer Garden, by a single donor, just as prophesied by many of you, thus fulfilling the many prophetic Words we have received over the last three years! Literally, dozens of prophesies have now been fulfilled, which I will share later in detail and post on our websites, when I have time to write them out. Of course, one of the most dramatic miracles occurred when the land donor (Hershel Reid) prayed and asked God (on 9/16/05) to show him a hawk if he was to buy the land for our non-profit foundation. God filled the sky with at least nine (wild Northern Harrier) hawks, at the same time, which he saw! (This miracle was witnessed by 19 Christians and video taped by Becky Jons.) Though I am exhausted, I want to write now and thank each of you for your Words and the hundreds of prayers you have said for the Gardens, since December 9, 2001 (When Dr. Mashesh Chavda first prophesied in Austin, TX at Cathedral of Praise, that the Greiners would be involved in the restoration of the last days Tabernacle.) Our prayers have now been answered, literally, with dramatic, Biblical type visions, miracles, signs, wonders and provision! Two recent Words I will share tonight: Becky Jons told us today, that this day, that God actually purchased the land for His Garden, is November 10, 2005: 11-10-05= 8, 11+10+05=26 and 2+6=8. Eight is God’s number for New BEGINNINGS or Resurrection! John Meder, the Intercessor from Dallas prophesied from the beginning that God would place the first Garden in Kerrville. At the time we all expected the first Garden would be in Beaumont, TX since we thought we had a donor willing to do the project. (Friend of Marlon Quibodeaux) However, John said otherwise. Here is the latest Word for the LORD, given through John on 10/30/05: A new prophecy…tell Max that this is much bigger than he thinks. Besides reaching the lost and drawing the saved much closer to Me in their daily walks, the Gardens will also pull My church together. It breaks My heart to see My church fragmented – competing against one another – criticizing on another – this simply will stop! And the Gardens will play a part. One body, one church. Amen and Amen. Tell Max to just continue to be lead, to walk in willing obedience… Intercessors and friends, it is now beginning! The God-given vision, prophesied and confirmed is now becoming reality! May this first Garden be built with excellence, as a model for many others. May millions of souls come into the Kingdom of God, because of these Gardens, which You will plant all over the world. May all the people and glory to Jesus Christ, the LORD of Lords and the KING of kings! Thank you God for today, which we will always remember. We will tell our children about Your mighty deeds, which we saw with our own eyes and heard with our own ears! Praise God from who all blessings flow! In the name of Jesus, AMEN.” Max Greiner, Jr. Kerrville, TX (10:05 P.M. 11/10/05 email to Greiner Prayer Intercessors)

7/4/05 – “No doubt there will be many prayer gardens. My heart thrills to think of one in Israel. Our God is certainly able. I also want to sow into the garden ministry there in Kerrville.” Barbara Franklin, Spartanburg, SC

6/14/05 – “Dear Max, Thank you for your letter regarding your foundation and Sculpture Gardens. These gardens sound like a wonderful idea and I will definitely pray we get one here (Arkansas)! God bless you for taking the time to write and best of luck with developing and establishing Sculpture Gardens across this great country .” Mike Huckabee, Governor & Greiner art collector, Little Rock, AR

4/12/2005 – “I truly think this (Garden vision) letter is wonderful. It moved my heart. As a teenager I received Christ as I stood holding a candle lit from a large central candle. Looking into that flame I realized what Jesus did for me. As I read your letter those thoughts came flooding back to my mind. I join you and Sherry in praying that God will do the same for thousands that will walk through this Garden and the many others He will provide.” Judy Floyd, Aiken, SC

4/07/05 - “Fabulous, exciting, absolutely inspiring! (Garden vision)“ Sudie Burditt, Director Kerrville Convention & Visitors Bureau

5/6/05 – THE COMING KING FOUNDATION COMES INTO EXISTANCE LEGALLY

______

On December 9, 2001, artist, Max Greiner, Jr. and his wife, Sherry, were visiting Cathedral of Praise Church in Austin, Texas, when the guest speaker, evangelist/pastor, Dr. Mahesh Chavda stopped in the middle of his sermon, turned toward the couple and asked them to stand. The traveling preacher from North Carolina then spoke a prophetic word over the Greiners (who he did not know at the time) in front of hundreds of witnesses, to the surprise of everyone. Chavda said:

“Max and Sherry Greiner, I’m going to lay hands on you later on. I feel like God is going to be your attorney, because of the hunger and because of you both honor the Lord and the glory.

There is a price you’ve had to pay. Some doors were shut, I don’t know the details. I just shook your hands today. But, the Lord is opening glory doors, and you have heart, both of you.

And Sherry, I saw over Sherry Grace, Grace, Grace written there. Grace is coming in your life and ministry. And the former things are former things. There is such glory up a head for you. God in His will put you both together. I just see a fire bomb of the Holy Spirit with you two.

“The Tabernacle of David…your work, what you are doing, these are some of the ornaments. In the spirit realm I saw the things you are doing are part of the restoration process. You will be involved in the restoration of the Tabernacle of David!”

We want to encourage you! You are part of the army of Glory Nuts! You are one of the leaders in the creative area. There are a whole slew of creative people you are pioneering for. I saw like a coonskin cap on your head! You were pioneering and Sherry was right there with you. She has the fire and that kind of survival mode, being a pioneer woman! So, the Lord has given you much, but it really doesn’t matter because what matters is the presence of the Lord!” ______

“I tell you,” He replied, “if they keep quite, the stones will cry out.”

LUKE 19: 40

“On that day I will raise up the Tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages. I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name,” Says the Lord who does this thing. AMOS 9: 11–12

Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk His paths.” ISAIAH 2: 2–3
