1 Fire On The Mountain Newsletter #14 November 1, 2012 The Coming King Foundation A501(c)3 Non-Profit Texas Corporation Established May 6, 2004 P.O. Box , Kerrville, TX (830) Trustees: Max Greiner, Jr. (President), Chris Daniel (Vice President), Carol Lenard (Treasurer), Barbara Sullivan (Secretary), James Barnett, Sharan Barnett, Randy Choat, Bruce Cook, Phd., Wendell Gilkey, Sherry Greiner, Ron Hicks, Mims Johnston, Rev. Fern Lancaster, Johnny Sharp, Dru Williamson, Rev. James Wilson, Administrative Assistant: Nancy Redhead GOD S MAGNETIC CROSS By Col. Bill Lewis YOU ARE INVITED! You are cordially invited to attend the dedication of the rst four monumental sculptures being placed at the front entrance of The Coming KingSculpture Prayer Garden, at 3:00 pm on November 9, (GPS address for the garden: 520 Benson Dr., Kerrville, TX.) You may have seen or heard about the 77 7 beacon and magnet perched high above Kerrville, TX, which symbolizes God s Light and announces to the world that Jesus Christ is risen! The Empty Cross sculpture draws God s children to the LORD using a stark, simple design that conveys a powerful message. In contrast, the 23 acre The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden will be as lavish, as the Cross is simple. Come see God s work in progress, as His garden grows into its full beauty. The first three monumental sculptures are being installed this month at the front entrance of the spiritual garden. Each one has a powerful message. THE COMING KING/Bust Bronze sculpture was created by Max Greiner, Jr., the talented visionary who God equipped to deliver the message that Jesus is returning in glory. David Broussard s Cor-ten Steel sculpture, IT IS FINISHED, is a contemporary depiction of the three giant crucifixion nails. A sensitive Bronze sculpture by Wyoming artist, Beverly Paddleford, called MARY, will also be installed. The artists have donated their valuable artwork to The Coming King Foundation (TCKF) for the glory of God. The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden is FREE to the public. In 2002, God gave a vision to artist/evangelist, Max Greiner, Jr. to build a beautiful garden to honor Jesus Christ, and bless all who visit. In addition to the Greiners, many other Christians have responded to God s call by donating their time, talents, art, equipment and money. I believe God selected Kerrville for a reason. One important reason is that many people in the Hill Country community love God. Nearly sixty Christian congregations are in the area. Kerrville is recognized as a friendly city. In the future it will also be known as a Christian family destination, a place of rest and peace that only God can provide. 1

2 This project is not a commercial venture. TCKF is a non-profit 501c3 foundation. Generous Christians and foundations from across the USA have contributed to the spiritual garden. However, about $3,000,000 is still needed to complete the project. To date, over $2,000,000 has been donated and spent on the garden. In addition, $3,000,000 worth of monumental art has already been donated by three internationally collected Christian sculptors. Currently, funds are needed to build the roads and parking lots. The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden is being built on faith in God, debt free, without professional fundraisers. I encourage all who read this article to share this wonderful vision with others. Jesus wants us to be His ambassadors and share His love and promises with the world. The Empty Cross is a symbol of the sacrifice Jesus made so each of us can enter Heaven and a loving relationship with God. The Bible records this exchange in the Book of Matthew: Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. Come to the cross and see what God has for you on His holy mountain! Dallas artist, David Broussard is donating his contemporary Cor-ten Steel composition of the three giant nails called It Is Finished. Beverly Paddleford of Lander, WY is donating her Bronze sculpture, Mary. The artist is pictured above with the original clay sculpture. 2 The Coming King Bust Bronze sculpture by Max Greiner, Jr. is being placed at the front entrance of the spiritual garden. Most tourists will not recognize this depiction of a warrior king as Jesus Christ. (Rev. 19:11)

Ambassadors Believe: God is one, maker of all things, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Bible is the inspired Word of God, given once and for all time. Jesus Christ is God, Messiah of the Jews and Creator. Jesus, the God/man, was born to a virgin, lived a sinless life and worked many miracles witnessed by thousands years ago, Jesus died on a cross for the sins of the world so those who repent of their sins and trust Him might have eternal life. Grace (unmerited favor of God) is extended to all who believe the claims of Jesus. There is no other way to God the Father, except through the Son, Jesus Christ. All believers should be baptized with water and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ will return to this earth again at the end of time for His Bride, the Church. In the Resurrection, the dead in Christ will rise and spend eternity with Jesus in Heaven. The children of God are commanded to share the gospel of Jesus Christ so others may know the goodness of God.

4 ANGELS, MIRACLES, SIGNS & WONDERS AT THE KERRVILLE CROSS! Kerrville, TX The Coming King Foundation (TCKF), a non-profit 501 c3 art museum organization located in Kerrville, TX reports that since the front entrance to The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden opened on 7/19/12, thousands of people have visited The Empty Cross. Many of the visitors have claimed lifechanging experiences. Guests have reported witnessing angels, miracles, healings, signs and wonders near this monumental contemporary sculpture. The open cross is the centerpiece of the Hill Country garden that is being built now on IH-10 near the town of Kerrville, TX. Located at the same latitude as Israel, and approximately half way between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on the Interstate highway, the massive sculpture is drawing 100 to 300 visitors per day. However, many people are coming because they believe God s presence is there. Thousands of people have reported being touched by God at The Empty Cross. Physical, emotional and spiritual healings have been reported along with many other miracles. Something big is up in Kerrville. God is doing something in this town and it is about to explode! Within a 50 mile radius of this cross everyone will be blessed, including the car dealership down below!, according to evangelist Bobby Dendy of Phoenix, AZ Even though the garden is unfinished, visitors are coming from across Texas, the USA and other countries to see the most symbolic cross in the world. Tourists have come from Canada, Mexico, France, Nigeria and Ghana to see the imposing sculpture. The Resurrection Cross is the Strong Tower, the Mighty Fortress, the Narrow Gate and the Door that opens the Way to the Light of the World, Jesus Christ. Thousands of Orbs of light are being photographed at night around The Empty Cross. These are believed to be the round angels described in the Bible (Ez 1:15) Other humanoid forms have also been photographed by visitors. After construction of the seven story sculpture, the Cor-ten steel skin was scourged by sandblasting. This process released the reddish brown patina, which symbolizes the shed blood of Jesus Christ. The cross is 77 7 tall, 40 wide and has a 7 wide sacred center space, where the Gospel of Jesus Christ presented on four plaques. The base is square like the Holy of Holies in the Jewish Tabernacle and Temple. The cross weighs approximately 70 tons, including the steel in the foundation, which by the providence of God is on Solid Rock. 4

5 CBS News KENS 5 TV in San Antonio aired a story on 8/3/12, ( com/news/kerrville-cross-site-of-miracles html) which described some of the genuine miracles occurring around the cross. While doing the interview, the news reporter became part of the story when he was instantly sprinkled with the visible glory of God (Ex 34: 29 & Isa 60:1). This supernatural manifestation, which looks like fine glitter, occurred as TCKF President, Max Greiner, Jr. testified to the changed lives, miracles and peace that thousands of people are finding at Kerrville s cross. Millions of viewers saw this news story, which was aired the following week on other CBS affiliate TV stations across Texas. People seeking a genuine encounter with the real God have been flocking to the Texas Hill Country town, located just one hour northwest of San Antonio. The power of God is manifesting on the 1930 mountain. This non-profit tourist attraction is independent and not owned by any church, denomination or ministry. It is a type of last days Tabernacle (Amos 9:11 & Isa 2:2). The $2,000,000 steel cross sculpture was donated by artist/evangelist, Max Greiner, Jr., his wife, Sherry, and Monte and Beverly Paddleford, owners of Eagle Bronze in Lander, WY. Over a dozen monumental sculptures have already been donated by three internationally collected sculptors, including Max, Beverly and David Broussard of Dallas, TX. Other sculptures are being installed on November 9, More funds are needed to finish the roads, parking lots and landscaping. Over $2,000,000 has been spent on the Garden to date, but another $3,000,000 is needed to complete the ambitious God project. Greiner claims the idea for the unique cross sculpture and the 300 long cross-shape garden was given to him by God in a 2002 vision. The entire garden is being built on faith in God without debt, or professional fundraisers. There will be many reasons for tourists to visit the Kerrville Garden, when completed. In addition to viewing the monumental Christ-honoring sculptures, there will be beautiful vistas, walking paths, picnic areas, wildlife observation areas, waterfalls, world class landscaping that includes Texas wild flowers. Strolling Christian troubadours and artisans will also be found at the park. The primary purpose of this free-to-the public garden is to bless people and bring glory to God. Large and small donations have come in from supporters across America. On 9/15/12, the Hal and Charlie Peterson Foundation of Kerrville presented their second grant to TCKF. The $45,000 grant was used to finish the front entrance, which will display four monumental sculptures, including the JORDAN RIVER CROSSING WATERFALL. The privately owned park is now open to the public seven days a week, from 6:00 AM until midnight. TCKF is also giving away to guests free Bibles, literature, water, Cross Decals and audio CDs about the Garden vision. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated. Thousands of visitors to The Empty Cross are experiencing a genuine supernatural phenomenon. The visible glory of God (Ish 60:1 & Ex 34:29) is manifesting in the form of fine glitter like dust. It is forming on visitors hands, faces, clothing and Bibles. This unusual sparkling substance is not any known element according to scientists. 5

Many peoples will come and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.
