THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE.. MAY GOD BLESS YOU... WE VISITED THE CROSS LAST WEEK .....THANK YOU

A friend told us about this website. It is absolutely awesome! We definitely plan to make a visit to see this for ourselves. Thank you!

while on our vacation we came across the cross and we will never forget the peace and happiness that came upon us , knowing that as big as this world is ,we are never alone.

I departed CA in Sept. 2002 on a tour of the U.S. I traveled 8,000 miles and took in 24 states in 30 days. We have a beautiful nation but the cross was a highlight of the trip and touched my spirit in a manner that defies description. This memorial is definitely on "holy ground". I was blessed to meet the man and his wife who had the vision for this project. They are very humble. This is a wonderful ministry to all of us. If you have seen the site you know what I mean. If you haven't seen it yet it is worth traveling any distance to see it.

I Was told about the Cross by a friend that I walk with at the local park in Houston, TX. I plan to visit the cross one day soon. God Bless all involved in the construction. Kim L. Carter Houston, TX

I am a long haul truck driver and I have been there several times now. And each time is a more moving than the last. My husband who is a non believer was even moved. I got there for spiritual uplifting and it helps me through rough times. I got weather it is day or night, or sunny or raining or snowing. When ever I got by I need the lift I go. The Lord with provide. I am so thankful for this place. God Bless the builders and the creatures. Thank you and God Bless, The Rigdon Family-Machine Gun, Dutchess and Brutice

My husband and I was driving back home to Mississippi from California. We had been on vacation for 15 days. We seen the cross from VERY far away and had to see it up close. We have taken pictures of the whole thing and we are going to share them with our church. Hopefully we can get the church to plan a trip to come up and see it for themselves. That will be a great trip for all and a blessing. Thank you to the ones who have taken the time to build and maintain this great blessing for everyone who comes to see it.

I have been told about the Cross, and I have seen pitchers of it, and my prayer is that the seeing of this Cross will help people to understand the true meaning of the Cross, and to value it's meaning. Thanks to all that had a part in making of this CROSS. Thank You and God Bless. James Ratliff

This is a beautiful cross and it reaches out to you. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.....

This is my first time to see this and it is so pretty. I just lost my best friend and this help me so think you for putting this on the web site. hope you will do more so I thank you so much. thanks miss Vickie

We were on a difficult journey and at 3:00 in the morning we saw the cross in the distance. As we drove past the cross my husband and I cried, as we felt the cross was put in our path by the Lord to give us strength, guidance, and assurance that our journey was the correct answer to our family crisis. When we returned home the next day we were able to stop at the cross and give thanks for all of the blessings the Lord provides, including the blessing of this wonderful cross. Thank you.

I just visited the site in person this past week, and it was awesome. Living in Amarillo, I have driven past probably a 100 times and watched the construction from the beginning, however; nothing can compare to standing at the base of the cross and seeing the magnitude, and massiveness of it. Taking the walk along the stations, walking up the steps of Calvary, enter the tomb, it is a must visit for all Christians and non-Christians alike. The most impressive station, except for the cross itself is the tribute to the unborn. As a Christian one cannot visit without getting the lump in the throat, the tug at the heart, yet also feel the joy, knowing of the resurrection.....I will return, next time in the hours of darkness, and will anxiously be awaiting the completion of areas still under construction...

As a truck driver I have been viewing the cross from the highway for a long time. Even when my husband is driving I always seem to wake up in time to view the cross...but finally today I stopped and took pictures of all the stations, and the awesome statues of the representation, of what Christ endured for us, the lowly sinner...And most inspiring is standing below the enormous cross puts one thing to mind....When all of your burdens are laid at the cross of Jesus....they become overpowered by its presence, they become small, as I was underneath its grandeur. Deb Hays

I was there to see your cross one cold rainy morning about a month ago. I wanted to linger for a long time just in this awesome surrounding, but it was too cold. This cross is something that should draw all believer's & non-believer's near. This is too much to explain in words. You just have to see it to experience what it you feel! May God bless the man who did this work, the one who donated the land, & all who have worked on it & are giving of their time to keeping it beautiful. In Christ Love, Linda Weakley

We came upon this beautiful shrine quite by surprise last summer during our travels. We have been to shrines all over the world and this is one of the loveliest. We were happily surprised. Such a memorable thing to be driving along and find such an oasis of peace. Elaine Thomas Syracuse

just browsing the internet and happen to run across this at my husband's request said he say this in person. just awesome, that is all I can say , would love to see this in person one day.

I'm so glad we took the opportunity to stop. We could just as easily driven on by. It was such a blessing that we didn't. The Cross is wonderful. I'll definitely recommend it to anyone who is traveling that way.

I used to be a truck driver with my ex-husband back in the early 90s. I remember every time we passed the cross I felt a spiritual lifting.

I finally stopped by after Thanksgiving this year. My husband, 9 1/2 yr. old daughter and I traveled to Amarillo for the Thanksgiving holidays. We passed the cross on Wed. going and I felt so thankful for Jesus and the cross. I promised my daughter that we would stop on the way back home to Arkansas. As we loaded up to travel home my daughter asked "We are going to stop at the cross aren't we"? I replied "Oh, yes". On Sunday when we stopped my daughter (who goes to a Christian Academy School) was so amazed at everything we saw. She went around all the stations taking pictures. The stations are awesome! When I walked up the steps of Calvary I felt the Holy Spirit and went down on my knees at the foot of Jesus on the Cross and prayed thanking God for Jesus dying on the Cross so that we may have eternal life. I was able to get a great sunset picture with the three crosses. I had never seen the shroud before and we were so amazed. I overheard another visitor telling some of the story about the shroud which was very interesting.

I thank everyone who had the vision to put together this Sacred Holy Ground. I will look forward to stopping in the future to see what else is added.

My husband and I saw the cross 4 or 5 years ago. It was awesome then, and I anxiously await our next trip west so we can stop again. Carol, Arkansas

My husband and I visited the cross before we gave up driving long haul in 1998. We watched it go up as we drove long haul for several years and I-40 was one of the main routes we traveled. I was impressed with it and have never forgotten it. We had friends here this last week from Arizona and they were traveling home I-40 so I told them to make sure they stopped. She just sent me your website. Thank you and God bless you.

these pictures are up-lifting and make me proud to call myself a Christian. I hope one day when I start a family I can take my children to see it in person and hope it has a great affect on their life as the picture did for me. 17, tara little Tennessee

Hi.. we stopped at the cross on our way home after the Thanksgiving holiday.. it really made an impact on us we are church members at the Licking Church of Christ. in Missouri. but seeing something like this really brought it to reality I think everyone should see it and experience it! We have told everyone about it and are giving them the e-mail address.. This is a blessing to all. The Gibson family.

me and my parents stopped at the cross on 01-02-03 on our way back from Mississippi we saw the cross from the road and turned around it was really neat thanxs.brittney

We stopped by Friday, Jan. 3 and were so impressed by the Cross and the rest of the setting. It was a totally spiritual experience which we followed up with a visit to St. Gregory's University in Shawnee.

We had driven by the Cross on previous trips, but never took time to stop until our recent trip a couple of weeks ago. We are so glad we stopped and we learned so much about the Cross that we did not realize. Of course, I had to visit the website when we returned home. It was a cold, snowy day when we stopped. We look forward to stopping again in the near future and see the completion of the additions that are currently underway. I recommend to anyone driving by . . no matter how a big a hurry you think you are in . . . take time to stop and visit this site up close. I am sure you will be touched in some way you least expect. God Bless . . . .

I learned of this Cross from a friend. I am most interested in visiting some day. May God Bless all of mankind! J. Sherman

I saw this stunning site as I was driving back from the east coast in the summer of 2001. It is truly an inspiring site to see from afar and then to drive so close. God is great! trvlnmn/az

with out the cross , and Christ dying on it , shedding his blood , for our sins, we would not have a chance for heaven>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Praise God for this beautiful place and for your ministry. I was traveling across country this week with friends when we happened to see the cross way down the freeway and just had to stop. I am so thankful that we did, but then am also sorry that I we couldn't stay longer. I am passing your web site on to many others. May God continue to bless you in your work at the cross and with your ministry. -- LINDA

could see this magnificent sight for miles when my trucker husband and I were returning from Colorado. was drawn to it, it was still in the building stages, not all of the stations were built. this must have been in 1999. always stayed on my mind. when I found my sister and her husband were heading to col. told them they had to stop and see it. she just called and told me they had stopped, and that how it was a sight to behold. she took videos, can't wait to see it. hope to make a trip back soon. may god bless and keep all the workers save and in god's hands. diana and jay rayne, la.

Hi I am very honored to visit your web site. I think it wonderful that your statues depict the life of Christ. I think a lot of the schools should visit the website. They could find a way to teach the things that matter in life and death. Maybe we wouldn't have so many kids on drugs if they only knew what Jesus did for them. I am a retired teacher myself. I now work at my church with the youth. I is all in our youth. If we don't reach them when they are young we will completely loose them. With my experiences while teaching, the parents around here are not doing such a good job.

I downloaded the stations of the cross and awesome views and showed them to my husband and three teenagers during our evening family worship. They were impressed and we enjoyed discussing the wonderful blessings from our Lord Jesus. Thank you for this blessing. We were really touched by God's spirit. Continue on with your ministry! - The Ramos Family

I visited the Cross in December 2002 and was truly amazed at the entire site. It was truly a day to remember, and I pray for blessings over all those involved in the implementation and process of bringing all this to pass. God Bless.

God Bless you all, I spent the night there last night God Bless the people that hear God, God wants us to Look at where this Cross was Built he is are Groom and all that come to know God through Jesus and His Love he has for us all not just one race of People but all People on Earth. God has a Awesome Love for us all that he gave his only begotten son so we all can be saved through him and it's the Grace God gives to all People if they want Jesus to Live with in them which is his Spirit. He wants to Renew the Spirit in us and wants to be a Big part of our Lives here as he once was when he made Adman and Eve. Please give your Life over to him that would be the best thing you could ever do for your self and No body can do it for you God Bless to all His People May his Peace and His Love be with you always.

May his Peace and His Love be with all that come and set a Spell at the Cross and view each place on this Holy Ground Just as it was one Man's dream Jesus to come and save the World it's another man that heard God in building this in Groom Texas. Do you really Know God and his Love he has for you he wants to give you a Gift that is his Son Jesus. Let Jesus' Love shine with in you and let it shine out of you on to some one that Needs Jesus in there Hearts. Apache777 Tulsa Oklahoma

We wept in awe the first time we saw The Cross that fateful night. We wept when we visited THE CROSS that beautiful fall day. The Cross was silhouetted against storm clouds in the North Texas sky. To say our visitation changed our lives is an understatement. It gave purpose, and a goal that literally transformed who we were and why we were here. God bless you Mr. Thomas . You will not know the true worth of this undertaking, till you walk the streets of Heaven and hear the stories of those who would never have made it there, without The Cross being built. On our visit Arnie and your precious sister were so kind and helpful. Words fail when I attempt to thank you. God bless you and your family. In Christ, Jim and Lura Jones, Mobile, Alabama trublvr2002@yahoo.com

LUCIE FLORIDA 34952 AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOME DELICLARATION FOR JESUS LOVE FOR US-- HOW OR WHERE COULD I GET A LARGE CROSS FOR THE CORNERSTONE OF MY HOUSE??

I used to live in Pampa, and I had always heard how beautiful it was. I never made time to go and one day I ended up moving to Dallas, TX. One weekend in Feb. 2003, my boyfriend, my 9 month old baby girl and I decided to visit my parents in Pampa and my sister in Amarillo, then when we were heading home, we happen to pass by the cross. I told my boyfriend, "I always wanted to go there and never did." As we were passing by it, he started to exit, and I started getting all excited because I was finally going there. I couldn't believe how wonderful they did inn building it. We loved it. We took pictures and walked around admiring it. We plan to one day take our little girl there again when she is older. It is beautiful! Thank you and god bless all of you. (Veronica, Ariana, & Travis)tarango831@yahoo.com

With our love and prayers and full support,Albie and Joe

IF MORE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY HAD THIS INSIGHT, IMAGINE WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE THIS WOULD BE. THANK YOU B SOLOMON NATCHITOCHES, LA

I was told by my mother about this site she was there and saw it. so I got on here and got to see it. thank you for sharing this with us. and for letting me share this with my son.i hope there will be the rest of the story of the crucifixion and resurrection put on here so I can keep sharing with my kids.

We were there twice going to and from AZ 02/05/03-02/22/03.On our back we pulled in and stayed all night and what a wonderful site to wake up to. Coming East on I-40 at night what a beautiful site. The peace we had staying there at night was on words. You all have a beautiful place and keep up the good work. We will come back.

My wife and I have been at the cross 4 different times now and expect to be there many times. We first seen it in a semi crossing the country and now when we go on our vacations out west each year . It has taken a new shape each time we stop .The cross is a very moving experience, especially when you can see it so far away from both east and west. Thank you very much we appreciate what this does to help out our lives and others also. Ken and Mary Lou Ray Mt Pleasant, Mi.

I have had the chance to experience the awesome feeling of the lord .I thank GOD for people and places like this. I can only pray that it reaches and touches people like it touched me. it was truly an awesome awesome feeling. my thoughts and prayers always. a sister in CHRIST shannon goodwin

It was very beautiful, we saw it in Feb. on our way to Oklahoma. Thank you for a very moving experience. The Wegener Family

My husband and I took our two little kids. We enjoyed it very much, because it is really beautiful! And we will come back again and bring our relatives.

We saw the cross on a trip from IL to AZ. Are you aware that there is a taller cross near Effingham IL? Is it by the same organization?

A couple from Stuart, Nebraska, Doug and Clara Grieser stopped in to visit the cross recently and gave me the info sheet and picture.

What a wonderful project. No doubt it will bring many people to a closer relationship to Christ's suffering on the cross.

It is an amazing awe that overcomes one at this site. I cannot explain what overcame me. It is beautiful. Thank-You so much for this experience. I do believe something changed within me while being there. I truly believe something amazing happened to me while there March 9, 2003 God Bless... and take care. Show your love to those you cherish so dear.

I drove by on my way to California last week. What an awesome site to see as you drive down the road. I was going on a retreat @ Jumonville, Pa on Friday as I was driving to California I need to keep my mine on the people I was going to help there. Your cross reminded my of the cross @ Jumonville ( it is the same type & size but a different design). Seeing your cross kept me in the right state of mine during my trip. Thank you for being the helping hand I needed on my trip.

Also, I saw the style cross in Illinois, do you know if they have a web site or an address so I could visit then also.

My husband and I found this site on our way East on Highway 40 between Albuquerque and Amarillo. We were so impressed. What a beautiful place. I cried at the shrine to the pre-born. Wonderful shrine. One of the best we have seen in this country.

I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE CROSS BY A FRIEND HOPEFULLY I CAN VISIT IT ONE DAY SOON GOD BLESS ALEXANDER FIELDS MEMPHIS TN.

I was so happy to see this sight it is kind of a memorial for my family as my uncle was one of the crane operators who helped raise this glorious cross. In memory of Leo Bodensteiner.

Thank you so much for the carrying out the vision God has given you!! MILLIONS of people from all over the world will know of the love of Jesus through this beautiful place! May believers and unbelievers alike know the LOVE of Jesus through what you guys are doing!

My uncle was one of the crane operators. He died on March 8th 2003 I'm just glad he got to be apart of something so meaningful and great

This is a great way to show everyone that there is someone who cares all of the time!

To all the wonderful people of Groom Texas. I signed your guest book on 2/26/03 and I just had to come back to say how much we love being there with the Cross going to AZ and on our back. we left Mass. on 02/05/03 and came back on 02/22/03.WE stopped going and coming and stayed in your lot on the way back at night and what a beautiful feeling to wake up to and see that Beautiful Cross out side your Door. Coming East on I-40 at night what a awesome site to see. I only wished we had one here in Mass.I send your site to everyone I talked to as I believe they should know we all children of God and that his son gave his life for us all.

I want to Thank the wonderful people of Groom and the state of Texas and Mr. and Mrs. Steve (And wife Bobby) Thomas and there children for us this wonderful place to come and visit and spread the word of God for he is REAL.

Wow!!! That is amazing. What a great testament for Christ. Your sister in Christ, Randi Rowan

We visited the cross last Saturday and I can't tell you what it meant to me. You can't truly imagine what Jesus went through until you visit each station. Thank you for this wonderful sight.

What a beautiful, inspirational piece of work. If someone driving down the road doesn't get a blessing from this, then they should stop and kneel at the foot and ask for GOD'S forgiveness. Carol (Tennessee)

The cross is just beautiful...I will send this link to all my family and friends. I am a native Texan and live in Ohio now. We will be going home in May. I would love to take a trip to see this beautiful creation. God Bless all who were involved in building this cross. Sue Reckner

Great, just great. Our loss of faith and the removal of "God" from our lives and the courts ruling have left many people with a helpless feeling. Through prayer and the vote we can change our lives. Keep up the good work.

I wish to see this in person. I thank God for people who can do such great work. It is so beautiful.

this is wonderful, my family and I are going to have to go see it in person. Great Job!!!

A staff member of our local newspaper visited the cross and mentioned its beauty and web sight. He was right! Thank God for His unspeakable Gift! Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful!!!! We are from a small town down next Myrtle Beach, S.C., called Conway, S.C.. Someday, my husband and myself dream of being able to go to your beautiful state and visit. I received this website from a friend who lives in Oklahoma. Then we can see it for all its beauty and the beauty of the reason behind it. . Sarah Boyd & Rev. Davis Boyd/ Pastor, New Life Worship Center, Conway, S.C. 4439 Hwy. 319 E. Conway, S.C. 29526

Never have I felt closer to the Lord than this day. I have only viewed the pictures and I can imagine what awe I would feel if standing in person in front of this Great Cross and looking at the Shroud of Turin and seeing my Savior's face in it. May God bless all those who have worked on this magnificent work of art for the Lord and all those who view it in pictures or in person. Carol 'Song of Joy'

it is a very pretty sculpture. may everyone who passes by, feel the love of God.

We came to see the Cross in February of 2003. It is beautiful. I wanted to look for this site on my computer because I will never forget it. What a blessing it is for all to see.

we thought the cross was so pretty we enjoyed stopping by June and stella juneandstella149@msn.com

We visited The Cross and we loved it. We will be sharing this with our church especially this Easter season.

THIS IS THE GREATEST PLACE. I HOPE TO VISIT IT IN PERSON ONE DAY. MY HUSBAND IS A TRUCK DRIVER AND HAD VISITED YOU SEVERAL YEARS AGO. HE CAME HOME AND BRAGGED ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS. HE NEVER GOT A LOAD TO THERE WHEN I WAS ON THE TRUCK. HE HAD A CHANCE TO VISIT IT AGAIN LAST WEEK AND GOT A CAMERA AND TOOK SOME STILL PICTURES OF IT. I AM SURE IT REALLY DOESN'T SERVE THIS PLACE JUSTICE. SO I DECIDED TO SURF AND SEE MORE FOR MY SELF. HOPING SOME DAY TO GET THERE IS PERSON. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH IT IS AWESOME. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. DEBI ALLEN

This is a wonderful ministry. I feel sorry for those who drive by and do not stop to really see what is represented here. Thank you for seeing a need and for fulfilling that need.

God bless the Cross, the Groom Tigers, Zach Thomas and his dad, and the Texas Tech Red Raiders!

Your web site is wonderful and I wanted to let you know what a truly beautiful and awe inspiring place the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ is. We were fortunate to have the privilege of stopping at the Cross, on our way through Texas. My Sister, Husband, and myself left there feeling humbled and thanking Our Lord for what He has done for us. We are praying that we can have the opportunity to return there someday to see the finished site. We also want to thank the staff that was working that day for making our visit extra special – I am sorry I can’t remember all of their names, only Mary. Thank you for making our trip extra special and for the precious gift that we received when we visited the Cross. Our prayers are with you all. God bless you and have a Blessed Easter. Mimi, Raymond, and Dorothy – from Pennsylvania

Friends of mine that use to live in Texas told me about the Cross. I plan to visit this summer. There is only one word that comes to mind when I look at the Cross. AWESOME. Thank you and God bless you for this wonderful work.

I went to groom today and saw this what a wonder! I feel so much closer to God and I am so grateful to him for all he went through to save me. Thank you for reminding me just how loved we all are. C

My roommate was just there visiting for the first time and he just called me up from Texas, telling me how wonderful and refreshed he felt after visiting. He told me to check out the website, and after seeing that huge cross, I can just imagine how it would feel top be standing side by side from it....I can't wait to go see it in person!!!!! Jamie Rock Rochester, NY

I just got back from a cross country trip & saw the cross, the first time I saw the cross was on my way out west in the evening & it was lit up, I wanted to get a picture but had no film at the time so on my way back to the east coast I stopped to check it out & words cant describe the feeling I had when I saw all that was their, it was just so awesome. PRAISE JESUS OUR LORD!!! Joe Battaglia......Rochester N.Y.

We spotted the 'cross` 3 years ago on our way to Arkansas to visit our daughter. We stopped for a while and looking up at the 'cross' in complete awe we couldn't believe the size of this huge 'cross`. I look forward to visiting each time we are on trips to Ark. and home(Calif), It gives us a special lift each time we stop. Thank you so very much.

Oh what good and wonderful people you are to put this on the internet for all of us. This is so needed today when there are people passing laws to prohibit prayers and the word, God in public places and our schools. It makes me wonder what is happening to our wonderful land of America. My husband and I first saw The Cross in 1996 on our way to Arizona. He had retired and we were driving out west for 2 months. We stopped at The Cross on our return trip home. We were both moved by the warmth and peace it gave us. We continued to stop every year on the way home, it was the highlight of our return trip. My husband died in 2000 and now I stop on my way home. Thank you for this blessing and may God bless you. Pat Finkler

My mom and I have been to this Cross twice and it is the most awesome site to behold. Thank you for building this Cross.

this is a wonderful site. only a Christian would appreciate the true beauty of this picture.

I've seen the cross while traveling through the area both in daytime and also at night and what a beautiful and calming sight to behold. I was so uplifted and made so aware of the greatest and most perfect love, that of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. What a wonderful testament of His love. I just know that this is a wonderful blessing for our little ones, that they might be born and live safely for they are so loved. Just as God blessed Abram in Genesis 12:2 I feel that God has also chosen you and your wonderful family to do His work and His words "I will bless thee..... and thou shalt be a blessing" are so true for you and your family. Because He has blessed you, untold thousands receive a blessing when they pass along the way see these wonderful and creative depictions of His love built by you and your family. Thank you! Penny from Louisiana

The Cross was the most beautiful place I have seen in day's. It was in a time of need that I stopped to see it and was blessed when I left. Thank you so much !!!!!

awesome! I just recently became aware of the Cross at Groom, Texas's existence through the April 2003 devotional, 'Our Daily Bread'. My only question: When was this cross erected? I find no timeline information on site.

God Bless and never let the fears the devils instill keep us from praising God and his son Jesus.

On a recent trip to Amarillo, we visited Palo Duro Canyon and the Cross. The creation of both have God's hand in them. The world is in debt to those responsible for this beautiful, awesome cross. It is a wonderful reminder of the price Christ paid for our salvation and of His love for all mankind. Many Thanks! John & Jo Ann Durst--Bonham, Rayville, Vicksburg.

My husband is a truck driver. He drove by your statues today and was absolutely amazed at what he saw. He couldn't wait to call me and tell me. He gave me your website address so I could see the Cross. It is awesome! Thank you so much and may God bless you. Margaret Hill, Huntsville, Alabama

HELLO!! I AM FROM MO. I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL PLACE, IF IT NOT FOR MY FRIEND & HER HUSBAND COMING HOME FROM A RUN TO CALIFORNIA. SHE CALLED ME LONG DISTANCE JUST TO GIVE ME YOU WEB-SITE & TO TELL ME HOW BREATH-TAKING IT WAS. I HOPE TO GET TO SEE IT SOMEDAY, THE W-SITE MADE MY HEART FLUTTER WITH JOY!!! JESUS OUR LORD, CERTAINLY MUST BE PROUD!! GREAT JOB!!

This is wonderful, Every one should really appreciate what it all stands for. Praise the LORD!!! Mary Clonce

On our way back to Kansas from New Mexico we stopped and visited the cross. It was AWESOME and we can't wait to visit again!!

I visited the Cross last week. It was an awesome experience. I could feel God's presence. Thank you for this wonderful place where people can stop along life's highway and be blessed. God bless you in your ministry. Linda Abilene, Tx.

I am an old friend of Dave Wegener, and am trying to find out how to contact him. If anybody has his contact information, will you please ask him to contact Cliff, from his early days when we met upstairs in the bank in Tustin @ oregonrr@yahoo.com.

I visited your beautiful place last year and I still feel the wonderful peace that is there. I hope to visit again. Betty Pool from Midland tx

well, my name is shawn graves and I became a Christian on march 31 1998.Prior to that day I was a gang member the national enforcer for a motorcycle gang. and a atheist. but now I am a CHRISTIAN and what a great life it is now. Seeing that cross was wonderful it brought tears to my eyes. You people are a blessing from god to show everyone who drives by that CHRIST is real and what he gave up and went thru for us. If we would all just think as if JESUS was our own child and going thru what he did maybe more of us would live the way CHRIST wants us to.thankyou again love in JESUS name, ShawnGraves 29Morgan St.Mooresville,In.46158

Thank you for showing the world God's love and that he is really alive in Texas. I am a transplanted Texan now living in Arizona. I truly miss the bible belt.....May our good Lord bless you and every worker that helped do God's work. Davonna

PLEASE remove the music from your Web site or at least provide a way for me to turn it off. It interferes with what I'm already listening to and doesn't add anything to the information the site provides.

I was there in March of 2002. Was the most awe inspiring site I have ever visited. Plans are to be there during first 2 weeks of June. Keep the great work up. Mr & Mrs Bobby Markham Culleoka, Tn.

It was amazing. It looked like it went to the clouds. I will always remember that all my life. Your friend Quade Brewer age 10.

I was born and raised in Pampa and now live in Oregon and occasionally get to return to Texas for a visit. The next time I come, I will be sure to make a trip to Groom, to see the cross, in person. This is a wonderful thing and in these times of terror and wars, we need to be bring ourselves closer to the Lord. It seems that God is being eliminated from so many things, particularly our schools. Our children need to hear the word of God and be able to sing his praises. This site is wonderful and you will surely be rewarded for your labors !

My mom just came back from out west this is one of the places that she visited. She was very impressed and from what I have seen on your web page I am sure it is fantastic. Hopefully someday I may have the same chance that my 86 year old mom had to see this wonder.

This Is A Great Web-Site. It Will Bless All That See It. Thanks For A Loving God. Hope Some Day To Make A Trip Back To See It Again. RSA Virginia

Hello. My nephew Billy and his girlfriend Alma visited this cross in Texas. They sent me pictures through e-mail. I was very impressed with the beautiful sight of the cross. I hope that one day I will make a trip up to Texas and see it in real life. Mildred Salyer - Richmond VA 23237

This picture of the cross is really neat and maybe it will be touching to someone who needs the Lord in their life.

My family and I visited the cross in Groom, TX on our vacation in 2002. It was truly an unforgettable site. I would impress to any one to visit the cross, you will never forget it. Since our visit I've now discovered the website and found that so many new things have been added and I can't wait till we can go back. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to this wonderful cause. email: jake@usajake.com

My husband and I decided to take a road trip w/my mother to Amarillo to visit family....while we were there we were told about this cross...we didn't think much of it till we actually saw it as we were headed up I-40...It truly was amazing...we hope to go back some day to see it completed. I know there are many crowns in heaven for all that were involved in the making of such a beautiful & spiritual place God Bless You All, Theresa & John Morin Theresa_Morin@yahoo.com

may the lord bless all the hard workers whom have been sent from God to build this blessed piece of his creation, this will bring so many lost souls, speaking of myself and all of God's children to him again, thank you for this and god bless you!

I am A member of the Church of Christ in parker Colorado and have visited the site in Groom, Texas on 2 different occasions. I find it to be a very Marvelous site and have recommended my Church friends and fellow workers to see it and experience the site when they are passing that way. I find it to be a wonderful way to remind folks who Jesus is and what he did for each of us .

We were blessed to see this wonderful Cross this summer. We were traveling from New Mexico and there it was looming ahead of us. We made pictures from our car and placed them in our vacation album. Beside the pictures we wrote that God is Love and He is everywhere and if anyone wonders about God's bountiful Love they have but to see this beautiful Cross. We had no idea where the Cross was located and in Our Daily Bread there was an devotional about it and told us of its location. I immediately went to the internet and found it and am now sharing the information with everyone.

God is Love and I thank Him for all He does for us and the privilege of being able to see this Cross and having the wonderful pictures.

Thank you building the Cross and believe me no one can pass it by and wonder if there is a God. He Lives and that is for sure.

As a trucker, my fellowship with God is sometimes challenging. Each time I pass by this most beautiful site, tears well in my eyes and I am again reminded of the Comforter being ever-present in our lives. God bless all who have made this monument possible....

I had wanted to stop at The Cross on several occasions passing through, but on our return trip from my youngest daughters memorial services we made the time. As Breathtaking as it is from driving by it on I-40 it is even more Breathtaking to visit and see all the stations and think of the Sacrifice that God made for each and every one of us that will allow Him into our hearts and lives. The Cross is such a Blessing for all to see. This is a Great Ministry.

A friend sent this to me via e-mail. I think it's really awesome and a beautiful piece of work. God is so good! A user in Bakersfield CA

May God Bless all whose hard work has created a Blessing in our lives. Yes, God Lives and May all who look upon this Cross be reminded of HIS LOVE.

very good, It is a real blessing. may God truly bless you for making such a big testimony for Jesus at this special time. For He is coming sooner than any of us truly believe. May be this will open some unbelievers eyes the Jesus Christ truly did live and did die for all of us so we might be saved. Donna McNary Bakersfield Ca 93380-0934

This is uplifting spiritual. And I Love it. Keep it coming. Thank you sincerely Katie Hatfield

Great! Wonderful! I came by and visited the site. It was very inspiring. Floyd and Grace Bradford. Falkville Al.

god bless you and please keep this beautiful treasure up. Please do not destroy it thank you

I Loved the Cross it stands tall for all to see. I live in Illinois, we have one here also, I don't know if it's as big, but it look's the same, and at night it is lit up so you can see it in the dark too. It's on #57 left side if your headed south some where before the St louis exit.

we recently stopped to see your display. it is unforgettable. it was amazing to see such a thing in the middle of the long boring drive thru the pan-handle. my faith was re-newed after viewing the stations. as a catholic I have attended the stations of the cross at least once a year, but never before have they been so real. sincerely roberta poss garnett,kansas.

I was traveling with my family to California from Oklahoma, and we drove through Pampa where my aunt told me that we just HAD to stop to see this cross. I had no clue what she was talking about, until we drove by it. I had to stop. I got a pamphlet and a card from the place at the entrance (the little pink cards), and decided to come to the website. This is a great thing for everyone to see, I mean, if you believe or not, you still need to see it. Thank you.

I HAVE BEEN TO THE CROSS SEVERAL TIMES ON MY WAY TO MY FAMILY REUNION ON OKLAHOMA. I STOP FOR MEDITATION AND TO SEE THE DIFFERENT SCENES THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THIS IS TRULY A BLESSING AND A MIRACLE HERE ON EARTH.

As an o.t.r, truck driver I stopped by every time I could. I drive local now and hope to visit again. It was always a blessing as was talking with Jim at Blessed Marys resturant.Thank you and God Bless

Perhaps one day I will be privileged to see this wondrous sight in person. Thank you for the tour.

Two Weeks ago, we stopped and saw what you have done, it is breathtaking, and anyone that sees this display of our Lord's crucifixion and reads the scriptures and doesn't confess JESUS as Lord, will not have an excuse at the judgment. May God richly bless your ministry.

hi, a couple days ago I was in Texas and I had a chance to see these crosses. I was really surprised to see how tall they were. ahh they were cool. -.-

We visited your Cross this week and we were inspired by it so much. Thank you for your ministry and believe me we were so touched. It gave our children a new thing to think about as the figures were so expressionable. The people sitting in the booth were so nice as well. God Bless. The Lee Williams Family.

This was worth the side trip from Amarillo to Ft. Worth. What an awe inspiring place to remember our Lord. Thank you so much for doing this.

I loved the web site and now can't wait to go see it in real life. Hopefully you will receive a lot of donations so you can build it up the way you want to.

My Aunt told me about this ministry and I just had to search for the website. She has been to the cross but does not have a computer. I fully intend to make a trip to see it in person soon. It is an awesome ministry. Thank GOD for the work that you are doing. May GOD bless and keep you, as I know HE will for all the work you are doing for HIM. "IT IS SO AWESOME" Your Brother in CHRIST Tom King

This is a most awesome web site. Thank You for the opportunity to visit it. I will visit Groom, TX soon.

I visited the site yesterday early evening and was so caught up in the presentation that I had tears - I was especially pleased with the accuracy of where the nails were placed. I will share this site with my church members and hope they will be as inspired as I was. I signed the book yesterday but am happy to be able to add my feelings about this beautiful cross.

I was there a few weeks ago on my way to be with my brother in Arkansas before he had an emergency open heart surgery. As we were traveling I was trying to pray for my brothers surgery and was consumed with worry and fatigue so much that I couldn't concentrate. I was becoming frustrated when I looked up to see a bright shining light into the Heavens and then I saw your Beautiful Giant Cross. We were in a hurry to make it to my brothers side before the surgery so, we did not stop, and I prayed...... "okay, God, even though I couldn't concentrate on talking with you, you reached out of no where on a dark secluded highway to let me know you are there, I prayed for peace and my brothers health and our safety traveling and I promised myself we would stop back by there on the way home to California. So we did, a week and a half later. What a wonderful thing you have done there......I imagine their are thousands of stories just like mine. Thank you for letting God use you as his lamp unto the world. While I was in your gift shop, you said you would be putting out a 2004 calendar and I would love to order one, but don't see it on your order form. Please send me information on how I might get one. I also think it would be nice to have a 2003 to send to my brother along with the story of what a miracle God sent to me, through "The Cross" on our travels to see him before his heart surgery, If you still have any 2003 calendars available please let me know. Thank you again for your service to this mission. God Bless you and yours.

I got to visit the site on our way back from AZ. I was amazed at the peacefulness of atmosphere and the breeze that seemed to be pushing me towards things that made me reflect on the positive things of life.

May God Bless your organization for this beautiful depiction of the Cross. I plan on returning soon. W.R.Branscum.

My husband and I visited the cross on July 15, 2003 on our way home to Indiana. Just a wonderful, peaceful place. We plan on visiting the cross every year on our cross country travel. Thank you

I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT YOUR CROSSES. THE PICTURES ARE VERY INSPIRING AND COMFORTING. MY WISH IS THAT ALL PEOPLE OF MANY NATIONS COULD SEE THIS IN PERSON. I KNOW THAT WAR WOULD CEASE TO EXIST FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS HOPE. MAY GOD BLESS THIS SITE FOR ALL CENTURIES TO COME. MARGIE

We stopped here on the way home from Albuquerque. I was in a state of awe. Walking through gave me goose bumps. I used an entire roll of film and it was well worth it.

We would like to know more about the cost and vision of the cross, since I have had the same vision, but to do it here in Arizona. We have 192 acres along Interstate 8 we would like to do a similar project would you be of any help. The girl at the visitor center asked me to contact Steve Thomas for more information. Linda Buckley Bjork, P.O. Box 373 Gila Bend, AZ 85337 e-mail rucker683@yahoo.com 1888-683-8345

My husband and I stopped and seen your display on our way back home from vacation. There are not words to express how pretty it is. I wish I could send everybody I know down there to see it. Connie Myers Atkins, AR

My family and I visited the cross last Tuesday (July 22, 2003). After being on the road 3 weeks, and spending time in San Francisco, Eureka, CA, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Aspen, Amarillo, and seeing the Redwood Forest & Yosemite National Park, this was the most awesome part of our trip.

My wife's grandmother, who lives in Lake Tanglewood took us there, and we have been thanking her ever since. I got on your website to find out more about this great project you have started.

What a pleasant surprise to see my favorite football player's name. The Thomas' have definitely been blessed by our Father, and it is awesome that you are sharing this wonderful project with our great nation and all of it's visitors.

I came to see the cross and the site on my way to Colorado and was completely touched and blessed that is such a spot to come and see what Jesus suffered for us. Christi Wister, Ok

Seen the Cross while driving with my wife from New Mexico to Tulsa, OK. for my grandson's baseball tournament. Had to stop at the Cross on the drive home and found it beautiful and inspiring. Using the information from the folder given us at the gift shop allowed me to see the web site which is great. John & Lupe Niemann

While attending a class in Austin several months ago, I met a wonderful person who had recently moved to Witchita with her family. I lost contact with her as I couldn't remember her last name. Later I found a paper with her name written on it. I e-mailed her and she e-mailed me back with this site included. Each time I visit this site my heart breaks when I remember what our Savior sacrificed so that we could have eternal life. This site is such a witness. I've since told many of my friends about it and will continue to do so. This site is a reminder that Christ is soon to come. Wish I could express more of what I feel. Thanks so much for the work and vision that God gave in bringing it to past.

The cross was a beautiful blessing made for all of the people in the United States, let it be stood up as long as it can be, and let everyone's prayers and blessings come true. God did a whole, whole, whole lot of stuff for everyone and all of the people should be proud of what he can do and/or what he has done for everyone in the past hundreds of years. Everyone should try their best to visit this wonderful place that they have done for our Lord Jesus Christ, because it is a beautiful place to go and see. Keep on doing your good and hard work on it because it sure does look good and it means a lot to a lot of the people out in this world, and whatever you do don't destroy it, because it is a wonderful blessing for all of us and a lovely place to go and visit and pray to him anytime and/or whenever we need him.

I WAS AT THE cross PROJECT AND IT REALLY SENDS A MESSAGE THAT JESUS GAVE IT ALL UP FOR US AND IT ACCORDING TO MY WIFE HOW COULD ANYONE VISIT THIS SITE AND NOT SURRENDER HIS LIFE TO CHRIST

A few years ago my husband and I came across the cross on our trip to CA. At that time it wasn't as big as it is now. I really liked it then. This year when we again went to CA we had our 8 year old grandson and had told him we would be stopping to show him THE BIGGEST CROSS I had ever seen. When we got there the three of us was very impressed at the improvements that have been done since our last time. My grandson kept saying "Look at this one". I know the next time we go by it we will have to stop again to see the latest things, hopefully at night...Rita, Tom & Alex

THANKS FOR THE UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE! I ENJOYED THIS SITE VERY MUCH! KIMBERLY REICHERT ALMA ARKANSAS

I took pictures of this Cross on the way to Co. It is a beautiful sight to see. Betty Rhea

The pictures were beautiful, but the meaning behind the symbols is what is awesome!!!!

Driving by the cross draws one to stop to see it. Stopping there is a blessing. We'll be back when it is not so hot, so that we can spend more time meditating on the various elements. I hope to be alive long enough to see it when it is completed. Thank you.

hello we are soldiers of the cross in Denison Texas and we would like to invite you to come out September 6th 10.00am to 5.00pm for a band of brothers in the park, different ministries will be there for food fun fellowship and showing God's love for more information call mike @903-463-6335 or Rocky @ 903-463-2243 Be blessed the soldiers of the cross

We visited the cross on our way home from AZ - IN. It made our day a lot better, we seemed to talk more to each other had a lot less stress and seemed to think about things we have been putting off. It was awesome. My 12 Year daughter is now planning a trip with 3-5 of her friends for next summer and she asked about taking them all to the cross. I thought that was nice, especially since a theme park was the next stop and not first. Thanks to all you made and is still making the cross a place for people like me who on my way thru was changed forever.

This is a Very Beautiful web site. my wife and Daughter visited there on the way home from Arizona and spoke Very Highly of the Cross and has told anyone who will listen about it. it is Truly a Very moving place to see. Thanks to all who made the Cross possible. God Bless You All !! Mike Chamness

I saw the cross at night and it was a really awesome experience. I am really glad I went.

What a wonderful site! I have seen many, but this one is absolutely awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us all. I pray to go one day to see it. May God Bless you in your work! Linda in Louisiana

Aug. 12, 2003 Sue Ann Woolfrey, Townsend, MA I have tears in my eyes from the feelings that these pictures gave me. To think about what Jesus did for us and then the people who made this beautiful site in Texas in His honor. So Beautiful!

thank you for this beautiful website and for a wonderful experience. it touches my heart and I do want to visit this place if I have the chance. God bless us all always...

A friend has introduced to me this beautiful website and am so glad I experienced this. this is a wonderful experience which brings you closer to God. it touches our hearts and I hope I could visit this beautiful place if I have the chance. thank you very much...May God bless us all always...

It is a wonderful site, may God Almighty bless the hands which worked on the beautiful photos of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

A friend sent me this web site. It is truly awesome. I hope and pray that my husband and I will be able to see the cross in Sept. We have a 33 foot cross here in Theriot, Louisiana. The couple that has the cross also had a message to build a cross. The number 33 for the years Jesus walked the earth. I am happy to see another cross go up in our neighboring state. Can't wait to see it.

thank you so much a wonderful 10-min you gave me!! God Bless All, Lindsey p.s thanks1

On the way home from a family reunion in Chattanooga, TN. My Dad and Stepmom stopped by this amazing place, and when they came home they told me all about it. How moving it was, and that when you observed each station it was like you could see everything taking place. Also that just looking at these statues made tears come to their eyes, and even just looking at this website made tears fall down my cheeks as well. I look forward to stopping by Groom someday just to see what I have missed out on. I hope that the chapel that is being built will be just as beautiful. ps. God Bless Mr. and Mrs. Thomas for coming up with this vision of love, and thank you for sharing it with the world.

Seeing the cross Jesus carried and died for us, really made me realize how much love he has for us. Thank you for reminding me to keep my focus on Him always!! God Bless you all out there!!

We were on a vacation for 22 days traveling the West. This is the highlight of the trip. This is one place you can't forget.. So touching. Look forward to the ongoing building. Morris and Loyce Georgia

i went here in July 2003 and its really cool I enjoyed each station it was very cool! rachel

JUST HAPPENED TO COME UPON THIS AND WAS SO BLESSED IN THE WORK YA'LL ARE DOING TO LIFT UP THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST THE LIVING SON OF GOD! THANK GOD HE IS NO LONGER ON THE CROSS AND REINS IN OUR HEARTS AND IS PHYSICALLY SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD!

MAY GOD RETURN TO YOU 100 FOLD RETURN IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO LIFT HIS UP THROUGH HIS SON.

PLEASE KEEP IT SIMPLE AND NOT ALLOW A PROFIT IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING! I HAVE SEEN SO MANY STEP IN WITH A CLEAN AND PURE HEART BEFORE THE LORD AND DO SO MUCH TO PROMOTE THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS, BUT THEN MONEY GETS IN THE WAY AND IT SHAMES OUR LORD JESUS!

I have been spiritually moved and can't wait to take my wife on this pictorial journey. Now I am going to have to figure how I can make a trip to site of the crosses and sculptures. Just simply beautiful.

How very beautiful, also painful to look at. Brought a lot of emotion and realism. Well done!

As a "displaced" Texan living in Illinois, I can't wait to get back to my home state and view this wonder! Thank you for honoring our Lord rather than some car or fictional hero. -EDLC

It was great seeing this cross while traveling on those long sleeping trips across interstate 40. It kind of gave me strength to keep going.

Now is the time to be doing something to bring the world to Jesus Christ. Your ministry is doing just that. Thank you and may Mary the Mother of God intercede for all of your intentions. Edward Sondag , Illinois

I visited this the actual cross site yesterday traveling from Lubbock TX to Tulsa OK. It was a most inspirational stop on our journey. May God Bless you for having this beautiful area to the many travelers who pass that way. Glendene Geurin Wagoner OK

We drove through on our way to California from Tennessee in 2000 and visited this awesome sight. It is wonderful and the photos do not show how huge it really is. But when you stand there under the cross ,words leave you. We are Catholic and made the stations together as a family. We did not know of it ,but saw it as we passed and made sure we stopped to see it all. God continue to bless you all Olga Edghill. Ps I am from Trinidad in the West Indies ,near Venezuela.

WE WERE COMING FROM CAL. GOING TO PA. ON VACATION. OUT OF NO WHERE WE SEEN THE CROSS. GOT OUT AND TOOK PICTURES IT WAS A VERY MOVING SIGHT TO SEE JESUS AND DYING ON THE CROSS AND TEARS FELL . I WANTED TO REACH OUT AND HELP HIM. GOD BLESS YOU AND THE MINISTRIES YOU ARE DOING . MAYBE YOU CAN SAVE SOME SOULS. WHILE TRAVELING I SEEN A SIGN ON THE CHURCH YARD,. A DUSTY BIBLE HAS A DIRTY SOUL. GOD BLESS

Stumbled upon this site and was totally amazed and moved by the ministry that is going on in Groom, Texas. May people's hearts be stirred by the Holy Spirit to make a decision to serve Jesus as they see and visit this place and website. Hope to see it in person one day. Tony Banfield, Jr. - Friendswood, Texas

We were there Sat Aug 2 the lord touched every inch of our souls body mind and heart Elva jean Balke and Steve Tower From concord NC we plan to get married at the cross

My wife and I were inspired beyond belief when we drove by your cross a few weeks ago. The only thing we have seen to compare to it are the giant farm animal statues along the freeway in North Dakota. These however were representations of living creatures, rather than depictions of methods ancient cruelty, so they failed to inspire us like your lovely cross did.

My husband and I were traveling to Oklahoma like all of our many trips, But this time I said "hey on our way back let's stop, we always pass this huge cross but never stop." Only God knew why. See we were on our way to court, because of a child support mix up. Well all went well. On the way back we stopped and my husband and I were so overwhelmed by the site. I started crying because of all that God had done for us that weekend. And not only that I knew exactly why we were suppose to have stop on the way back. You see we had to stop to give our Lord And Savior all the glory!!!. He had just gotten us out of a 10,000 debt. The Cross itself was so AWESOME. All the stations were too. That day God reminded me of the reasons why I live today and every day, FOR HIM. Well thanks for the wonderful experience that day. My favorite thing was the tomb, but only because it empty. I know Our Lord Jesus Christ LIVES!!!! love N.H.

Shalom... We were traveling through Texas back to California last week. When from a distance we saw what looked like a huge cross in the horizon. When we got closer we noticed that the placed looked very interesting, so we doubled back and drove in to what was to be one of the most amazing and moving experiences in a long time. After getting over the shock of just how large the cross was. We walked around the stages of our Messiah's journey to Calvary. The tomb for all the unborn babies murdered with our Lord holding an unborn baby in His palm brought us to tears. Thank you so much for building this amazing site. We were honored to donate to this moving experience. Shalom, Rod and Gloria from California

Thank you for this beautiful site. I would really love to see this cross. I know it must be awesome!

HELLO I AM WAYNE SCRUGGS. I'M A TRUCK DRIVER FROM TUPELO MS. I VISITED YOUR PLACE IN GROOM TX. ON 9 19 03. THIS WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HEART WARMING PLACE IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL WEB SITES I HAVE EVER VIEWED. THE TRIP WHICH I GOT TO SEE THIS CROSS AND ALL THE STATIONS WAS A VERY TOUCHING SPECIAL EVENT IN MY LIFE. IT MADE A VERY STRONG IMPRESSION ON MY LIFE . IT MADE ME FEEL A VERY REALISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT REALLY WENT ON THAT DAY SO LONG AGO WHEN THE CRUCIFIXION ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE. I FELT VERY HONORED TO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING THERE.

We really loved your place that you have there. We visited it this weekend and for got to sign the guest book. So I am doing it now. It was truly a blessing to visit the Cross. I would like to keep informed so when you finish it all, we will come back and see it for sure. Thank You Jack Pell Pryor, Oklahoma

I had the most awesome experience when I came to see the cross! I had the joy of coming to see the cross this past July 03' when I came with my friends who drive a big rig. I was filled with a great spirit, peace, love and joy just overtook me. Thank you so much for building something so great. Deborah Farley

After first stopping at Oklahoma City to see the Memorial to the victims of the Murrow Building bombing and feeling all of the pain of that day, it was truly uplifting to see this Cross which was raised to the glory of God. It is so peaceful to walk around and see what you have done. If ever we travel Rt 40 again, we will surely stop again. We tell everyone about it and say they must see it for themselves. God bless all of you. Harry & Cindy Dover,Ohio

We were at the Cross in Mid-September. It was AWESOME!!! Please keep your website up and running. We hope to visit again when the new Visitor Center is completed.

A friend just told me of this site as she came upon it on her travels to Pennsylvania. WOW! I can't wait to plan a trip there, I want to feel His presence. Thank you for putting together such a wonderful place for us to visit and pray and learn more of our Lord.

Thank you for this beautiful and most inspiring moment that I spent at Jesus' site. We Thank Our Lord God for giving these people the will to do something like this so people can get closer to Our Lord Jesus Christ. I will most definitely spread the word about this site and hopefully they too will come and visit the Cross. All can be done by word of mouth . Amen

We stop to see the Cross every Fall and was there last week. We are touched each time we see the Cross as we drive down the road.

God Bless you Steve and Bobbie, Our Sisters really enjoy the inspiring visits to the cross. Each time our Lord speaks deeply. You are in our Prayers, Mother Lucy Lukasiewicz DLJC

The site looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing the completion....May God continue to bless this project.....

This is beautiful. My sister and her room mate came to visit the site while traveling from California to KY. They were awestruck at the soul wrenching site. I wept when they showed me the photos they had taken and the gift photo album they bought for me. I wish that I could send a donation to help maintain this for others to see the gift you have given to others in honor of Jesus' gift to us. Praise God. May God bless you always. Thank you for sharing your faith.

This sight I found today...Some of your pictures, wow! One especially, I could only but say, "my Jesus". what He has done for me. For us all. I did not know that a sight like this was here. I will share it with my friends. Maybe, I'll put an add in the paper under accouchements. I'm ordering a photo book now by phone, as a gift for Christmas. God is with you, and his blessings are real! Bless His Name, Jesus. Linda Mead Oh.

Last year a friend and me took a road trip from Lubbock to Notre Dame, and just happened to go through Groom. Of course, we stopped to pray and see the wonders of The Cross. Since then I have brought many of my college friends on the trip to see the cross. Thank you so much for placing a reminder of our Lord that cannot be missed! Andi Kopenec

I was at the cross on 10-16-03. I thought the way the scenes were done was outstanding just to walk around the grounds uplifted my spirit as we traveled back home to Lawton we talked about what seeing the cross done for each of us. it was a very peaceful trip back home thank you lamod&tammy mcfadden

This is one of the most touching and beautiful experience that we have witnessed. Love in Christ, Glen & Mary Dale

my husband and I drove team on a big rig and drove past this site each week as we watched it become complete. on each trip I looked across the horizon for many miles just see the cross. each time I passed by it was an awesome experience that I can't explain, and the feeling it gave me was, I can only say, complete peace and serenity. it is like you can feel the presence of God all around. what a blessing you have provided for us all to experience. Tim and Anne, Ozark, AL

HELLO, I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I ENJOYED LOOKING AT PICTURES, AND READING THE INFORMATION. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. MY 9 YEAR OLD SON AND HIS GRANDFATHER VISITED IN PERSON ABOUT A WEEK AGO. THEY GIVE ME THE WEB ADDRESS, AND I PLAN ON VISITING MYSELF VARY SOON

May God Bless all whose hard work has created a Blessing in our lives. Yes, God Lives and May all who look upon this Cross be reminded of HIS LOVE. M & D Keel, Washington,

What a wonderful way to spread the Gospel! I never thought I'd have a reason to drive to the panhandle of Texas - now I do. My husband and I can't wait to visit. Thank you for choosing to walk on the path God has laid out for you.

I DROVE BY IN THE SUMMER OF 2003. IT WAS A BLESSING TO BE THERE AND SEE GODS WORK. RICK TORRES DIAMOND BAR, CA

" A sight to behold ". Most of both my lungs have been removed from Cancer, ( smoking for almost forty years being the culprit ) My prayer and wish is to be able to make the trip to Groom Texas to see this beautiful sight before I go to see the Lord. Your presentation here on the Web Site is truly awesome and a work of art in behalf of our LORD and Savior JESUS CHRIST whom I love dearly.

I visited the Cross in Sept. 2003 and was very amazed. Thank you for sharing your love of Our Lord with the world. SFH, Dayton, PA

My Husband and I stopped to see the cross Sept or Oct of 2000 while driving a semi truck. And I hope to go by and stop again. It is really something to see. Thank You!!

I have personally seen the cross, and the scene is just breathtaking. Thank you for creating something so beautiful. Timothy Main Philadelphia

This is a cool web site, I love the Lord with all of my Heart. I was saved 6 yrs ago at a ladies retreat in cambria. I was delivered from drugs and alcohol while I was there. My Husband and I were on the verge of splitting up and now we are both serving the lord. we have been married for 20 years and have two children. Well actually my son is an young man 18 and my daughter is 15. If it wasn't for them going to church with my mom our family would be split up. So with that I want to say God Bless. Love Pam

I just went to see the cross this Sunday, and it was great! I really enjoyed being there and reading all of the interesting things that they had there.

When I went to Groom and saw the cross and very interesting things that yawl had there it was so awesome. I know that just how I enjoyed it there are many other people who have, keep up the good work and GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!! Thank God for you that are there because many people that pass throw there see it that may not have never even know god and just by seeing the cross or being on this web-site is them getting a little bet closer to God, and you guys furthering the kingdom of God and that is what he has said to do in his world. it is just absolutely awesome and me and my family loved it very much!! I LOVE crosses and I collect them and when I saw this one I feel in love with it, it is very lovely! By going there for the 1st time I learned a lot of things I did not know and I have been a believer since I was a child and saved by the blood for 4 yrs. it is a good thing and it blesses many people keep up the faith and NEVER surrender to the enemy. JESUS LOVES YOU God Bless You WE LOVED IT VERY MUCH THANK YOU

We visited the Cross last July. It was awesome. We pray that many will be drawn closer to God by seeing the cross even if it is only driving by. Making the stop was wonderful

We have stopped three times at The Cross and there are not words to describe the feeling one gets just by being there. The Tomb gives one goose bumps. When one goes from Station to Station, the tears flow. The hands with the fetus brings many feelings as well as "Why"? Awesome does not begin to explain the beauty and serenity of the place where The Cross stands. I'm certain God cherishes it. Mr and Mrs. Giles Smith, Tarkio, Missouri.

Congratulation on a monumental project, what is even more incredible is what Christ accomplished by His death and resurrection!

Because of him I can face tomorrow. The cross made the difference. Thanks be to the sacrifice he made for me.

I love this monument. I seen it in person in 2000 and it touched me on several different ways. I couldn't believe the work and love that went into this cross. The way this inspired me. And let me go through the steps one by one the way Jesus did and what he went through for me and everyone. And I share the story of me visiting this monument with everyone I can..

I would like to say that this story of Our Heavenly Father has gone through the extreme!!! for our sins. I felt the pain from within my inner self fro my Heavenly Father. I love him fro what he did and continue to LOVE him more daily in my life. I THANK OUR HEAVENLY FATHER!!!!!! for giving me life on earth. This was very Beautiful to see and I even felt the heart of tears inside of me. I just wish that people would really accept the Lord in their hearts for what he has done for us, to be where we are today in our busy lives or granted life in many ways. He has gone beyond our wildest dreams and then some. No man!!!!! on earth would give up his life for him, but he did for us without any second thoughts or hesitations. Thank you LORD for what you brought me or have given to me, everyday, my Holy Spirit in me. I love you and thank you Cross Ministries for these Beautiful pictures. Some day I hope to visit the site area. I hope soon. God Bless you all who put there time and effort into this site. I will pray for you.. In Loving Christ, Maria E. Rojas

It was wonderful sight as we were traveling on I-40 to spend thanksgiving day with my family in New Mexico. It is great reminder of our beloved Jesus. Barb&Aaron of Missouri

What a wonderful witness to the Ministry of our Lord. To be able to look into the face of Jesus with the life size bronze sculptures. To walk the walk that Jesus took. To see the pain he must of endured for us as he took his last steps to the cross. So inspiring, a memory that will always be with us. We look forward to next time we can come to visit. God bless your ministry. I tell everyone about it. Gene & Donna Enoch, Modesto CA.

Dear Brother in Beloved Christ. Your website is a great treasure for all those who wish to meet Christ. Your organization can help many people in Pakistan to come to Christ, especially those who are lost ( the non-Christians) and Christian themselves who have forgotten Christ. It is a high time for us all to bring people to Christ. Otherwise Islamic fundamentalism will eat us all in Pakistan, and there will no steps of Christianity in the coming 15 years. Christ Mission Ministries Faisalabad-Pakistan

Your web site is really great. I look forward to seeing the shrine some day. Larry Schuetz Sioux City, IA

My wife and I traveled in a motor coach and passed The Cross many times but were in too big of a hurry to stop. Two days after my wife died I did stop and was helped very much, both spiritually and physically by the experience. Since that first stop I have stopped every time I pass and have gained something each time. Fred Myers

We have seen the cross in person and it is truly awe inspiring. We wish to thank all those who had a part in its construction. Gary and naomi lindroos.

A friend of mine traveled to your worship site during his vacation. He showed us his pictures that he took and I was blown away. Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful.

THANK YOU FOR OBEYING THE LORD, MANY PEOPLE WILL BE TOUCHED BY THIS AND WILL THANK YOU IN HEAVEN. GOD BLESS YOU! TIM RICHARDSON

1-1-04 Glenda Eaton 202 Shangri-La Place Glasgow, Ky.42141 This was on our town home page today. Wonderful pictures and awesome story. I hope someday I can see this in person.

I think it is wonderful that we still have people today who are not afraid to show what Jesus means to them. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration.

THE CROSS WAS THE GREATEST BLESSING WHEN ON MY WAY TO NEW MEXICO TO SEE MY MOTHER WHOM I HAVE NOT SEEN IN 9 YEARS. I OFTEN WONDER WHAT UNSAVED PEOPLE THINK WHEN THEY SEE IT, IF THEY EVEN THINK OF JESUS.

THANK YOU FOR THIS BLESSING, AS WE CAME UPON THE CROSS GOING TO NEW MEXICO TO SEE MY MOTHER WHOM I HAVE NOT SEEN IN 9 YEARS. WONDER WHAT UNSAVED PEOPLE THINK WHEN THEY SEE IT? VALERIE B GARDNER COOSADA, ALABAMA

I saw the cross on my hometown website : www.glasgow-ky.com This is a very nice work of art. Keep praying and witnessing for our Lord JESUS CHRIST

An absolutely amazing website!!! Will pass on to all of my family and friends! Amy Shirley, Glasgow, KY

The Cross was on our local website in my hometown What an awesome site words can't express how I felt after reading and seeing the things of Christ in Pampa, Texas May God Bless you and your family always 1/1/04 Kentucky

This is outstanding. I'd love to see it in person some day. May God bless the founders and all those who visit it.

I was just searching for a Christian material to read when l saw the magnificent cross. It reflects the glory of our lord Jesus Christ. May God Bless you. Emmanuel Ofori-Asare ofori@tesco.net

I will probably never see this awesome sight in person, but am so blessed to have seen it on the computer site. Thank you for making it available. E. Dupin, KY

On out way back from Nevada after being with our daughter during the Christmas holidays, we could not wait to get to this beautiful cross in Texas. We had driven by it many times and this was our first time stopping and seeing it up close. It is so awesome. I wish everyone could see it. I could not wait to get home and look at what we had seen on your wonderful website. Bless all those who have been blessed in making this masterpiece. I have a picture of this cross on my desk at work and I will be giving pictures of it to my friends also. This is truly a beautiful website and we will share it with our friends. Tom and Bonnie Greensburg, IN

I have never had the opportunity to travel to this part of Texas (and did not know this Cross existed), but through your web site I have been blessed to see the pictures. Thank you and God Bless You all.

I had the blessed opportunity to meet Steve and Bobbi recently who then shared the story of the cross. It's amazing until you factor their LOVE for GOD and life long commitment to the glory. I look forward to the day when I can see the cross in person. This is truly inspiring!!! In Christ, Joe Lafferty J_Lafferty@yahoo.com

Such a blessing. I was never more inspired and could feel the Holy Spirit. God bless you all. Lynda Staub

I saw this 2 years ago and was very impressed. It really depicts the events that happened at that time. Looking at what Jesus had endured for the sake of mankind is really inspirational. William Hildebrandt Leavenworth, Kansas

My daughter had visited this cross a few months ago and brought pictures back to show me, I am so impressed with this site and with the story of the building of this memorial for our Jesus. Thank you, Ruth L. Staton

MARSHA SHONK JOHN SMITH WE WERE AT THE CROSS DECEMBER 29, 2003. WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE !!! WHAT A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE !!! THE CROSS IS A TRUE TESTIMONY FOR CHRIST.

We were fortunate to visit the cross and statues in summer of 2002. wonderful experience. Wish we could go back and see what has been done since then. Delbert and Barbara Anderson, Denver, CO.

I visited the Cross about 4 years ago and you were working on . my nephew lives out in Amarillo and I asked him to find me this web site. so I can view this again. I hope to visit the Cross again in the near future. you done a good job on doing this. I just wish there was a place like this where I live in owensboro, ky.

Saw the cross from over a mile away while heading West on Rt 40 last week on our way to Durango, CO. We stopped by to visit while traveling East back to Springfield, MO. Very, very inspiring. Have seen the "other" cross on Rt 44 in Effingham, Ill.

I want to thank those who made this possible. My husband and I were there in May 2003 and I love coming to this site to refresh what we saw in my mind. I have never in my life felt as close to Jesus as I did the day we were there. Thank you so much. Vicki Shannon; Marietta, IL

I am the crippled man who came to visit you last August and told you about my dream, that I had seen this cross in my dream and made a small donation. you gave me a picture that was one of a kind that was taken at night with the lights on but it showed a darkened world full of sin, as the lights did not show up in the picture that you gave me. I have not forgotten you or the 9mmaculate work that The Cross Ministries is doing. Please expect a donation in the first week of February which will continue throughout the year. This was a literal dream come true to see the cross that I dreamed about just a few years back. Know that I love you and the work that you are doing in bringing in the lost from out of a field seen from the interstate. God will bless you in abundance this year. Well done such faithful servants of The Most High In Jesus Holy Name Love always, David Rock

I just received this from a friend. I thought it was great. The pictures seem so real. I would like to visit it some day. Thank you for this blessing. I will send it to my friends. You know , I don't see how any body lives without our Lord and Savior. May God bless you.

I was awed by the photos on your web page. I have never heard of this place, but would really like to visit. You can tell by how the work came together that it was blessed. I hope it brings many blessings to all who visit. Beverly Conner Flatwoods,Ky.

My Sister passed the website on to me and it was a great blessing. I really want to plan to come see it myself.

I've seen this cross twice while driving cross country. Most recently was on New Year's Eve of 2003. What a truly awesome site from the interstate. I'm hoping that on my next drive, we'll actually get a chance to stop and meditate. Just driving by it gives a feeling of euphoria and I know Jesus Lives!!! JLFleming

This wed site was sent to me by my aunt. It really touch me. I would love to go to Texas and see this. It makes me feel closer to heaven.

This Is Awesome / I Have Never Seen Anything Like This Before > It Give You A Feeling Of Gods Presence . Thank You And God Bless You. MarvaCol@ Msn.Com

Saw the Cross on my travel across country. Will never forget the experience and hope to return one day soon. Shawn Allen, Odenton, MD

I was given information on your web site today and decided to visit. I am in the travel business, dealing with churches. After viewing this web site I realized this would be a very good place for us to take our buses as we traveled the country. C.T.I. Tours & Travel P.S. It would be good for you to place a small map on your web for directions from Amarillo.

We saw the cross in person and were amazed. It gave a realistic visual to the moments leading to our salvation. Amen! Deana Zamudio

I was reading the book DATEABLE and the guy who wrote it mentioned this cross thanks you all are awesome may God Bless you give God the Glory

I received a email to your web site and I want to say it is beautiful from here and I am looking forward to viewing the site in person. May God bless each & every soul, each and every prayer that was put into this masterpiece. May He add His blessings to you every day. Love in Christ Christine Harrell

I visited the cross in 1998 while I was driving for Swift Transportation. A lot was not completed then I love what you have done. It looks awesome. When I get back down that way I will stop. Ivan L. Wright

I and my daughter stopped in Groom to see this 'big' cross we were so amazing at how tall it is and the stations, the tomb, everything was an emotional walk for us. My 6 year old is so in love with Jesus, she had to hug each statue of him. Thank you and God bless you all for the amazing contribution.

Just amazing and beautiful. I have been reading "The Purpose Driven Life" and have been closer to God each day. This is one place I can't wait to visit.

I actually visited the Cross in November of 2002 while driving back from La to Ca with my father after burying a cousin. Though I was tired, grumpy, and freezing. I was happy to have beheld such a site. One question that I can't seem to find on the site though; when was this erected?

Hello. This Is Maria. I am glad that all of this work Is being done. The more the better. Spread the word ..... the truth. Let It be known!!!!! Praise the LORD Jesus Christ our savior. +God+ Bless you all!!!!!

This is so great. Thank you Steve Thomas for doing this for people to enjoy!!!!! Love, Tonya age 13 Kansas

It is truly a miracle that God loves us so much that he would sacrifice his only Son for us.

My Fiancé is a truck driver and he took me to your site, it was the most emotional moment in time for me, as I walked around looking at the statues of Jesus being crucified, I just can't explain the feelings that overwhelmed me, but the one thing that most impressed me and touched my heart was the headstone with the hands on it, for all of the lost babies, that is the first time in my life I have ever seen anyone acknowledge them, God bless you and thank you for sharing this with us, Jimmy & Kathy

I would like to tell you of my wonder at the sight of the cross as my sister and I traveled across country. We saw it from 12 miles away. as we approached it seemed to rise from the flat plain where it sits. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT! I am glad to see that the stations are almost done. They are very impressive. IO am looking forward to seeing the tomb and the new water garden.

Great site. A friend saw your Cross on a trip. I wish you were not so far away I would like to see it. Elbert Bentley

God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work in us. God is mighty to do far more abundantly more than all we ask or imagine - hyperekperissou. This site is expecting great things for God and attempting great things for God. There will be many mighty conversions.

I love going to this place, it makes me feel peaceful, it is somewhere I could go, to find myself

my dad is a truck driver and every time he goes by there he stops and he was telling me how beautiful this place was, so he took me there and he was right, it is very awesome, thank you for making this place for us. God Bless You, and your families

I thought the work & workmanship were marvelous - thank you for the subject matter you choose , we need to spend more time thinking of Christ which includes the passion .

Steve and Bobbie, The work is finally done!!! Looks great. To God be the glory. We love you................. Gigi

I had never heard of the Cross until my Payroll Supervisor brought the pictures in to work to show me. It is truly Awesome. I'm glad I found the sight, now I can send it to my fellow church members and friends and plan the trip!

Hey I really love this, I used to live in Groom I love you all and MAY GOD BLESS YOU

this is a good thing you have done. we all need to get back to Christ and follow his teachings. nothing but good can come from this. thank you so much for sharing this

A very worthwhile tour, worth every minute you spend here. It is surprising how many see, but don't stop to see what is there on the premises. The couple of times I have returned to the panhandle, this has made the trip well worth it, Richard B Cochran PO Box 2917 BattleGround Wa.98604

WE VISITED THERE ABOUT 6 YRS AGO AND WERE HAPPY TO SEE THE ADDITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. THANK YOU. GLENDAL AND MYRNA DOUGLAS, OCEAN SPRINGS, MS.

Unfortunately I had a good friend who committed suicide this past September. He was buried in Groom and it is so nice to see that there is this great cross in the place where he rests. It is beautiful

Praise God! We look forward to taking a trip to pray at the Cross. I thank God for your courage in sharing God's love. Cynthia Cerda

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you.... God Bless this ministry . The Reed family

I visited this site 2 1/2 years ago and I am still amazed at the affect it had on me. Thank you for the experience. And I hope to visit there again in the near future. This web page excites me all over again. C. Wilson San Diego, CA

I was fortunate enough to visit you in November '03 I was wondering if there are any plans for Holy Week or if everyone is welcome, as usual, to just come to pray. I loved your presentation. It, along with Mel Gibson's movie, The Passion, should be MUSTS for everyone. Sandy Young Columbus Ohio

My sister came upon this cross while traveling to Florida from Nevada. She told me I just had to see it. My chance is now, I am on my way to Texas to see my son before he leaves for Iraq on March 17th, "04. The Cross is a must on my list. Your web site brings one closer to God, such an awesome site to see.

I was on a trip with my mother just months before she was diagnosed with cancer and passed away. When all the sudden we saw this giant cross in the distance, when we got to it we stopped to see what it was, it was beautiful and my mom gave me a lesson in bible study, I knew nothing about the stations of the cross, and was amazed that my mother knew this. I didn't know that she had studied the bible, she never attended church with us kids. It was a wonderful sight and we enjoyed it very much. Thank You and God Bless ldavi691@aol.com

Thank you for allowing e-mail patrons to view your website. My sister shared this with me and I find it very comforting and enlightning. She has personally saw the cross in Texas so she shared it with me. Ilove your website and hope you can share more sometime. God bless your ministry and whoever is a part of it Sylvia Thomas bugbug042000@yahoo.com

I saw this place and I loved it. It was a beautiful and touching display of art.God Bless.

My mother lives in Dumas,Texas, and my family and I have seen the Cross several times while on our way to visit her. We finally had the pleasure of stopping last week on our way back to Arkansas. What an awesome experience it was. We could definitely feel God's presence while we were there. We look forward to stopping every time we pass by there in the future. Thank You so much and God Bless You! Randy Baker

I have been touched with these awesome pictures of my one and only Lord Jesus Christ

Doug & Charlene Cowan and Kevin & Kathy Lynch send regards on this outstanding website!

Thank you for sharing this gift when this country needs this so much. Blessings to you and your family. Patrick CC Tx

What a beautiful site. Thanks so much. We saw the cross while on our way to Oklahoma City. We plan on going back to visit the cross. Brent & Brenda Jackson Wolfforth, Texas

I'm from Danbury, Nebraska. I saw the cross from the interstate and just had to stop. Stopping was the best thing I could have done. It's a wonderful experience. Thank you. Kim Stewart & Hank Adkins

A friend finding a new life was traveling through and came upon the cross. He was in such awe even though he's been unsure of his faith that as he left he asked God into his heart.( He met a preacher and his wife before he left which also helped.) He called me back in Missouri to share his good news. This is truly awesome. Thank God and thank you!!! T. Stone

It was actually in the fall of 1997 when I drove by this glorious cross for the first time. I had just graduated from college and happened to be driving cross country with my mom. I didn't know exactly what God's plans were for my life and at the time I had many questions. I was driving and asking my mom about the rapture and when she thought it might happen. I remember the moon was out that night and it looked so big and round in the sky. It had this beautiful bright orange color to it. When I looked ahead, I saw what looked like a cross hanging out of the sky. It was glowing and I asked my mom if she was seeing what I was seeing. My foot started shaking against the gas pedal and I thought, "Is this it? Is Jesus coming back now?" If he was, I definitely would not have been ready at that time. As we drove closer, the cross got bigger and bigger and I could hardly believe my eyes. We pulled over and just looked at it and of course, couldn't help but see the other onlookers. This was such a powerful experience for me and I knew at that moment I decided to follow God's will for my life and not my own. Thank you for building this cross! Mimi Gassert Minneapolis, Minnesota

A VERY HUMBLING EXPERIENCE...I SAW THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST AND THAT HUMBLED ME ALSO....WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS IN PERSON... HAVE HEARD TRUCKERS SPEAK OF IT AND HOW THEY FEEL WHEN THEY SEE IT...GOD BLESS YOU FOR DOING THIS I'M AM SURE IT HAS MADE MANY STOP AND THINK...A.S.A.P. ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER

It was very inspirational to see a cross of that magnitude. It was very good to see it especially at Easter. Hopefully I will visit one day. Have a Blessed Easter one and all. Richard Bohlander

My husband drives truck and had passed the Cross several times. He had told me of the cross and how tall it was. I went on a trip with Him and saw that their was truck parking, so we immediately stopped. The visit has been a blessing in our lives. The serenity felt was incredible. We went to the cross and had prayer. WE have told all our church and family about the cross. We are from Robbins, TN and the cross has reached all the way out here. Our prayers are with you and all who stop at the cross. Your ministry is far reaching and truly done with the love of our Lord in mind. GOD BLESS YOU ALL ! !

April 9,2004 12:55 P.M. I had the blessed privilege of visiting the Cross in June of 1999. It is beyond awesome!! I had never been so moved and blessed by anything mortal. THANK YOU for building such a place for God's people. I viewed the "Passion of the Christ" movie a few weeks ago, and remembered the lifelike figures of your Cross. How AWESOME!!! May God continue to bless you as you bring His love to the world. Again, THANK YOU.

We visited the Cross on 3/17/04 while on our way from a care taking job in AR to a management couple position in AZ. We were traveling with our 3 year old. We were so overwhelmed with the Cross and the site and prayed for our continued safe travels and future job. Upon arrival in AZ we found that the position no longer existed due to the owner being in the hospital. We prayed and were full of joy and two days later located another couple management position that includes our housing and it was also in AZ! The awesome power of Jesus at work!

This is a beautiful site and such a huge reminder of how much God loves us, I just want to say thank you for all you've done and this continues to do for our Lord Jesus , this truely shows the love and sacrifice He has given us.

I've been past this cross many, many times. One of those times, I stopped and visited the magnificent cross. It was the most moving and inspiring things I've ever seen in my life! It was a very emotional experience for me. I had my children with me and they were also very moved by the awesomeness of it all! I tell all my friends, family, co-workers, and fellow Christians whom I run into at various places about this awe inspiring monument. Thank you for something so very special. God bless. Angie

My wife and I stopped by on our way to Oklahoma from California. It happened to be snowing that day, but we decided to stop anyway. Thank God, He gave us the wisdom to stop! Although snowing, we got out of the car and looked at some of the statues. It touched me so deeply, I re-dedicated my life to Jesus! Sadly, my wife and I recently separated after 25 years of marriage. I ask for your prayers, that He will somehow, bring us back together! I Love Her Dearly! Praise God In All You Do! It's His Plan, let Him do it!! Thank You, JESUS!!! Donnie & Meloney Adams- Calif.

This is the most beautiful and moving site that I have ever seen...Thank you for this wonderful thing that you have done.

The atmosphere was so real it felt like I was actually walking on Holy Ground!!!

I am a deacon in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City assigned to the Queen of All Saints Catholic Church in Sayre, Oklahoma. At the Suggestion of one of the ladies of our parish we decided to make a pilgrimage to the Cross, completing our observation of Devine Mercy week. After our 8 Am mass on Devine Mercy Sunday we made the eighty-mile drive, eight of us in all. I believe it was the most inspiring experience we could have chosen. As others have said, I felt as tho I was walking on Holly Ground. The stations are awesome; the Divine Mercy Fountain is absolutely beautiful. Beside the cross it's self, the most moving to me was the Tomb For The Unborn. I could go on and on, so as inadequate as it is, THANK YOU. May I also say that the "Blessed Marry Restaurant" in Groom, Texas is a must, and not because of the food alone. May God bless you and grant you His Peace... +mac

What a Wonderful way to share our Savior! May GOD bless this ministry in many ways, and I pray we will see those you have witnessed to in our eternal home! Marijon Jordan Merkel, TX 79536

This is truly the most amazing thing that has been done for our Lord and Savior. Mr. Thomas is to be commended for his work on this project. I really enjoyed my visit to the cross on Easter Sunday 2004. Thank you very much for having room for me to be able to park. I will be back for another visit. Vance Allen Grover, N.C.

The message of the cross of jesus have made a trnsformation in my life.It has been a turning point in and for my ministry. God bless your programmes and by it many will hint to the call of salvation. Protus kweyu( EA)

This is the Most Wonderful place. We were there in Oct. Bus Tour. We spent about 1-hr.There never got to see and read all that was there for us to see. Thanks, for a job well done. The Bolling's Aningdon Va.

There is no other place like this on earth. My life has been touched forever. Thank you.

My name is Cathy Lea. I recently took a trip out west and saw your cross from the Interstate. My friend and I drove that big eighteen wheeler truck to the cross...it was late at night. Both Mark and I were so moved by what we saw and experienced. Thanks to all who make this sight happen. I touched to sleeve of Jesus garment. I've been battling breast cancer for 3 years. This experience is one I'll never forget. We hope to visit there again next time in the day light. God Bless you all.........Cathy Lea

my name is tonya nutter i am from lima ohio. i saw this site on the computer and wanted to say how much it made me feel, joyful, happy and my children love to see the cross. they love our lord and adore him.

Dear Steve and Bobby, It was a pleasure meeting up with you on Bonita Beach this evening! Thank you for directing us to your wonderful website. May God bless you both for such an amazing undertaking! If God permits us I'd love to visit Groom Texas when we plan to do a cross country roadtrip with our children; hopefully in 2005. We pray that your grandbaby and daughter have a safe and blessed delivery. Thanks again for reaquainting us with you and your companions. In Jesus' Love, Tim and Maureen and son Christopher Boylan May 2, 2004

This is wonderful and beautiful. God works wonderfully in you all. My son and myself drove from Wisconsin to Arizona a few times and our highlight of the 2000 miles is visiting this peasful ground. I have told so many of my friends that they have to take the trip to visit here. This is something worth seeing and they probably could'nt wait to go again. Thank you Jesus and Thank You All

I THINK THAT IS REALLY COOL AND THAT IT TELL PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WOULD THAT JESUS REALLY DID DIE ON THE CROSS AND THAT HE DID DIE FOR OUR SINS. THE CROSS TELLS ME THAT HE LIVED AND DIED AND ROSE AGAIN! I THINK THAT U SHOULD ADD SOME COLOR ONTO IT AND IF IS MEANS ABOUT THE WHITE DOVE OR SOMETHING THAN DONT, BUT THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. BRITTANY

We were on Vacation on our way to Oklahoma & Arkansas coming from Sacramento,CA when we saw the "AWESOME BEAUTIFUL WHITE CROSS" from the Freeway. We passed it by thinking "We're driving & all of a sudden you see this "GIANT WHITE CROSS" & you wonder who put it there & why ? It's so SPECTACULAR" you can't miss seeing it ! And what a GREAT IDEA it was to put it there. Anyway, on the way back from Arkansas & Oklahoma we stopped & I took pictures of the "CROSS" & the FIGURINES of Jesus Christ. Each step I took made me more & more interested in seeing everything that was there. The "CROSS" & ALL the Figurines of CHRIST & The WaterFall was so "UNSPEAKABLE" to express the UnDying LOVE Jesus has for US ! I also went by the WaterFall & put my Hands in the "PRECIOUS WATER". This was the VERY BEST part of my Vacation. I Hope & Pray I can visit there again real soon! I Thank everyone that had a Part of Making this Possible, for all of us to SEE & ENJOY.God Bless You! Sincerely, Paula & James Pugh

This is a awsome site. Almost as good as being in Groom and seeing the statues in person. Thank you for a wonderful experience when I stopped by on 5/6/04 jojo@oz-ar.net

This is one of the most beautiful shrines I have seen in this country. Very inspiring. I was truly moved by this shrine. So wonderful. Elaine Thomas; Syracuse

Praise the Lord! On our way to OKC Friday morning, what a blessing to see as we topped the hill. Going down there to visit this site is awesome and what a ministry for millions of people, thankyou for such an awesome blessing, it made our families day!! Joy Conklin Artesia, NM

While on vacation traveling Rt. 40, I saw the cross. Was really glad to see it and also happy for the witness that it gives with all the people trying to remove menting of God and the Bible from our lives. astclair11@yahoo.com

It was such a wonderful experience. We saw the one in Groom and the one in Missouri as we travelled from AZ to Indiana. You could feel the presence of God and all the pain he went through for US. It was a wonderful experience to share with the kids and let them see first hand. THANK you for taking the time and expense to erect this wonderful monument.

E-Mail cjerryann@yahoo.com; I was at the cross in 2002, and saw everything but the tomb, which was not done at that time, but they were working on it. I have saw some pictures of the tomb on the web, it looks great. I can hardly wait to get back out there to see it all again, hoping to this year, would love to come each year, but I live in the State of Kentucky.

My neighbor just returned from your part of the country and they told me of this very beautiful roadside attraction, I don't do much traveling but I sure would like to see this place someday. She would like to go back too. Maybe one of these days I will make it there, very beautiful pictures on this site. wandaelwell@hotmail.com

Last month while traveling home, my brother and I stopped and spent time visiting the large cross site. I was in awe at the realism of the life size crosses and Golgotha as well as the empty tomb. Thank you for that oasis in the Texas plaine. I saw the cross from 5 miles away and truly was blessed. I have a friend heading down to Dallas for a visit, and have told her about your cross park. They are going by way of I-40 just to see your park. Thank you again for it. I pray many people come to know God through it/ Siouxanne Mease RN coobrn@earthlink.net

Amazing work and Praise be to God for everything comes from Him! "Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord" Psalm 150:6

We visited 'The Cross' on May 11, 2004 and couldn't believe the immensity of it. I couldn't wait to get home and find the WEB site. Seeing how it was put together was unbelievable. I was happy to see that it was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. Thanks to the Thomases for their generosity. marihelm@edge.net

WOW.....a friend stopped and took a small video that he brought back for us to see. I am so taken by this. Thank you for listening and being true to the Lord. Many people who do not believe, will have second thought when seeing this. I will come to see this one day. May God Bless You and Yours.....

S Pasienski I remember as a child traveling on the highway near by. Now there will something to look forward to for the weary traveler

Thank you so much to all of those of you who are involved in any way with this cross near Groom, TX. I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate this effort. Our world is in such an upheaval that a project of this magnitude is needed to make us realize just how we each need to know the Lord Jesus Christ in our own lives. All of you are so blessed to be able to make each and every one of us realize where we each stand in God's redeemption. I cannot explain what happened to me that day last week when I walked around each station. It was so inspiring to me things can only have changed within me for the good. May God Bless your efforts---we will be back!!!! Carol and John Pritchett 206 Manor Blvd Fairhope, AL 36532

My husband and I have passed your beautiful Cross several times. We did not know that there was a place to stop and view it close up. Now that I do know about it, the very next time I am near there I will stop. It is a wonderful sight to see, even if you are just passing by. firstmrst@aol.com

That was the most Blessed thing we have seen in a very long time! Walking thru the cross procession was awesome, especially after just seeing "The Passion". It brought it to life once more what Jesus went thru for us. Dan and Sherri/Allen, Tx

I visited the crosses today! It's beautiful! I've never seen anything like it! I think that it really puts things into perspective. Cheryl Rainer cannerainer@yahoo.com

I have been blessed with the opportunity to visit the cross several times. Each time I get such a feeling of awe....that my Savior died so that I might have life eternal. I have knelt, wept, sang praises and just looked in awe as I visited Calvary's Hill. The magnitude of the cross at Groom reminds me of the magnitude of sins that have been covered by the cross. I have also been able to bring others over the last several years to visit the cross in Groom. God Bless your ministry...how awsome it is and how awesome He is. It teaches us that if we just obey the Lord in what he has for us to do....He will give the blessing. Keep on keeping on for the Lord. In Christ Lynn Bryant - Holland, Ohio musicman@glasscity.net

Several years ago my husband , sister in law and I were on our way to a family reunion in Elk City Ok, and here along the road was this beautiful cross, we were going so fast it was there and the I watched for a long spell till I could not see it out the back window. This was such an awesom sight, I have always wondered about this cross, who did it. I received an email from a dear friend in Amarillo Tx. sending this to me. I was so heartened to see this cross once more. I am living in Nebraska since 1991 and live my life in the texas and New Mexico panhandle. I have only seen one other statue along side the road and this was on the salt flats in Utah, But nothin will ever affect me as when I saw this lovely memorial to God. Thank you again dlbates@bbc.net and dlbates @panhandle.net

I never knew this beautiful cross existed.I got to see this creation with a very special person in my life.This was a message from God for the two of us.I want to thank you for this wonderful blessing.I also want to thank Docia for giving me the chance to experience something this special with her.THe cross and her are both amazing.

Hi, God bless you and your families for the great undertaking for God. I don't know if I'll ever get to Texas to see the awesome sight, but it is something that I know has to have an impact on anyone who sees it. I would also like to know if you have the white vinyl crosses for on windows. I was told you may have them with or without the children praying next to them. I would like to get them if they are available. My name is Donna Regoli and my e-mail is : Palady713@yahoo.com I hope to hear from you. God bless you and your family and keep up the awesome job for God!!

Thank you for a wonderful experiance and a beautiful site. May God bless you all. chelimartinez@hotmail.com

My husband and I drive long haul and we stopped the 15th of June. It was such a blessing to walk the stations of the cross and walk the steps of the crusifixtion. Only to think that one man could love man kind so much that the most overwhelming thing is to walk into the empty tomb. And to know that Jesus is alive. Mark & Jacky Cormack

gquinonez@sbcglobal.net Thank you for creating such an awesome tribute to our Lord Jesus. I was in prayer with several friends last evening who were doubting if Jesus was really there for them, and to see this first thing in the morning only confirmed what we prayed for last night! God Bless you and provide you with whatever you need to create more signs of His Kingdom.

God bless you all!Jesus lives in the souls and deeds of people like you. Keep your faith in God forever. Pray to the Blessed Mother of God for peace in the world and for all our souls. I am a fellow christian and am asking for prayers for a healing of lung cancer. I am 40 years old and I do not want to leave my three year old daughter on earth without me. Only prayer can help me. My cancer has spread all over my body and only the grace of God's healing can save me. I would be happy to pass on except for little Charlotte's sake. Please pray for me. May god bless you all and fill your hearts with his holy love.Sincerely, Raymond Christopher Waldron, Elkridge Maryland.

MY HUSBAND AND I VISITED THE CROSS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2001. IT WAS THE MOST CALM AND PEACEFUL TIME OF MY TRUCK DRIVING EXPERIENCE. WHEN WE FIRST SET EYES ON THAT AWESOME CROSS IT WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL, SPIRITUAL FEELING EVER! I HOPE TO VISIT AGAIN VERY SOON. MY HUSBAND TELLS MY IT'S JUST AS BEAUTIFUL, AND SPIRITUAL AS IT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE SAW IT. GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL GIFT. JIM AND ANITA KEENER

My Mother and I just returned from a trip to Tennessee. Like so many other folks we have driven past the Cross many times but this was our first time to stop. I have a dear friend with cancer and wanted to stop and pray for her. I felt such peace at this site and have never felt closer to our maker. I want to thank the lovely ladies that greet you there, they tell you all about the building of the site and make you feel very welcome. I will stop yearly now, it was a pleasure to be in such a peaceful place.

This is definately a very sacred place. I felt it the moment my husband and I got out of the truck we were in. Thank you so much for this place. I was saved a long time ago and had been away from God and my church for some time and when I saw this and felt the electricity around it I knew instantly what God wanted from me. Thank you for being there and following God's command for you to build this place. I rededicated my life to Christ standing on the steps of Calvary on June 22,2004 just after sunset. There was no better place than there. God bless you and all involved with this wonderous place. I pray that on my next visit I am able to bring my daughters to see it.

This is a great reminder to all travelers to take time out and include Jesus and His Word to their trip along I'40. Mitzi Blasingame

Living only about 40 miles from this beautiful cross, I have been to visit it several times and is a must to take friends and relatives that come to visit. Thank you for this wonderful gift to the world!

I saw this marvelous "CROSS" on Sunday, June 27, 2004 as I was driving west toward Amarillo. I spent nearly 45 minutes taking photos and just being in aww of every thing. God bless you for this wonderful experience. mtcalvbapt01@aol.com

Thank you for the inspirationl work. We must be reminded of Him when our men and women fight for the freedom of others. He died for all us on the cross.

This is an amazing site. Jacksonville, Florida Faith My e-mail address is: jasminelady-80@msn.com

My wife and I were taking our much anticipated trip along Interstae 40 to seem many of the unique sights along old Rt. 66. We saw so many great things, but NONE that moved us nearly as much as the giant cross and sculptures at Groom, TX. We had to pull off of the road (near dusk) to investigate this magnificent sight. As we looked at the various stages of the crucifixion, we would touch the statues of Jesus, wishing in our hearts that it was really Him and that we could have somehow provided comfort to Him in His darkest hour. It was an incredibly moving experience for us both, and I expect that we will be traveling up there again from Austin just to see it again. May God bless those that were inspired to erect this as a love gift to our precious Saviour. Dennis and Teresa Ceder Austin, TX

I think this ministry is great, my husband and I have stopped by a few times and I just love the feeling it gives. Last time we were there was last May and we met a young lady that was having memories of a still born son that she had had. I have also went through the same experience and I gained a feeling of peace when I was there. My husband was born and raised in Amarillo, Tx was transferred to Kansas by the Santa Fe railroad and if he hadn't we never would have met and I would have never seen the wondrous things that have been built there. Thanks & God Bless, Vonnita J. Elliott Topeka,Kansas Kscollegegirl44@hotmail.com

My Granddaughter & I were on our way to Oklahoma from California when we saw the cross and when we came back home we took the time to stop and I am so thankful we did anyone who sees this beautiful sight has to be touched by it it o
