WE ARE PLEASED TO WELCOME
CARRIE BROWN HAVE PROBABLY SEEN
DRIVING 65 A GIANT CROSS AT ONE
OF THE EXITS WITH A LOT OF
TEARDROPS ON IT.
IT WENT UP LAST SEPTEMBER.
FIRST OF ALL, WE ARE GLAD YOU
ARE HERE IN THE NUMBER ONE
QUESTION WE ARE TALKING ABOUT,
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE TEARDROPS?
THERE ARE 12 ON EACH SIDE
FOR EIGHT VERTICAL ONES THEY
ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THOSE WHO
WERE SAVED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
AND THE FLOOD BY GOD'S GRACE,
NOAH, HIS WIFE AND THREE
DAUGHTERS IN LAW AND BY GOD'S
GRACE THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES
THAT RECEIVED IN THE HORIZONTAL
TEARDROPS ARE IN REFERENCE TO
AND HIS RESPONSE WAS GRACE.
FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY
KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO BEAR THE
PURPOSE OF THE TEARDROPS IS TO
SHARE THE MESSAGE WITH SOMEONE
TO MEET CHRIST AT THE CROSS AT
THE FOOT OF THE CROSS FOR THE
FIRST TIME HE PROMISES A GRACE
FILLED NEW BEGINNING.
THAT IS THOUGHTFUL AND DEEP.
THE FACT THAT YOU CAN HAVE
DECIDE TO DO THIS?
THIS HAS BEEN A 30 YEAR
VISION.
MY DAD WAS THE ORIGINAL VISION
CARRIER.
HE HAS PREPARED THE LAND AND
IT'S IN A FAMILY TRUST AND
IMAGES AT THE CROSS THAT
CONTINUES THE MINISTRY GOING
FORWARD IS A 501(C)(3) AND WE
LEASE THE LAND FROM THE FAMILY
TRUST SO IT'S A PRIVATE
PROPERTY HELD OUTSIDE AS A
PUBLIC TRUSTEE.
IS STUNNING AGAINST THE
BACKDROP OF THE OZARKS WHICH IS
BEAUTIFUL AND I KNOW THERE IS A
LOT MORE TO THIS THAT YOU WANT
TO CONTINUE TO DO WITH THE
WELCOME CENTER.

IS.
BASICALLY, PHASE 2 OF THE
SITUATION HAS BEEN DONE AND WE
WERE JOKING IN THE INTERIM
ABOUT HOW YOU HAD ASKED HOW
LONG IT TOOK TO BUILD AND WE
SET UP TO CONSTRUCT IN THREE
DAYS BUT IT TOOK US SIX AND YOU

COVERAGE.
IN THE NEXT PHASE IS THE
WELCOME CENTER TO PREPARE AND
DEVELOP THE PROPERTY WE HAVE AN
EASTER EVENT COMING UP APRIL

21ST WHICH WILL BE A SUNRISE
SERVICE WE HAVE ALL SORTS OF
ENTERTAINERS AND WE WILL HAVE A

PROPERTY 10,000 SQUARE FEET AND
75 VOLUNTEERS TO HELP STAFF IT
AND THIS IS A FELLOWSHIP EVENT
SO WE ARE INVITING THOSE WHO
HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT COME AND
HIS FAMILY BEING TOGETHER.
HE THREW HIMSELF A PARTY.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T THINK ABOUT
THAT.
HE THREW HIMSELF A PARTY
BECAUSE HIS SON CAME HOME
ALIVE.
