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