🌅 Sunday Evening Reflection — Jesus Is the Light

As we reflect on the setting sun this Sabbath evening at the Holy City of the Wichitas, we are reminded of the words of Jesus in John 8:12:

«“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”»

Each day is a new beginning at the Holy City. As the sun sets and the moon rises, we are reminded that even when darkness comes, we do not walk alone.

For we have Jesus Christ in our lives, and He is our light. May His light guide our hearts, strengthen our faith, and lead us into a new day filled with hope, peace, and love.

🌄 From the Holy City of the Wichitas, may the light of Christ shine brightly in all of us.

Yesterday afternoon shortly before sunset at the Holy City Of The Wichitas and from the top of Mt. Scott. I see and feel the greatness of God. I feel the peace he has given me and the blessings he provides.

Sunday Morning Praise

For our praise on this Sunday morning, we turn to Genesis 1:1–5, where we are reminded of the very beginning:

«“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good.”»

Nestled deep within the 500-million-year-old granite of the Wichita Mountains stands the Holy City of the Wichitas. Much like the beginning, when the earth was without form and darkness covered the deep, God brought forth light.

For Reverend Mark Anthony Wallock, that light was Jesus Christ. He envisioned a historical place where the life and teachings of Christ could be brought to life for people of all generations—a place where hope, faith, and the message of Jesus could shine.

This Sunday morning, as we watch the sun rise over the Wichita Mountains, let us remember that the light we see is a reminder of God's creation and His goodness.

“And God saw the light, that it was good.”

May the light of Jesus Christ shine in our hearts today and every day. ☀️✝️

Saturday Evening Reflection — 1 Peter 1:7–9

On this Saturday evening, let us reflect on 1 Peter 1:7–9. As we remember the faith of those who support the Holy City of the Wichitas, Peter reminds us that our faith is much more precious than gold that perishes.

Though we have not seen Jesus Christ, we love Him. Though we do not see Him now, we believe in Him and rejoice with a joy that is glorious and beyond words. Through our faith, we receive the promise of the salvation of our souls.

May the faith that has carried the Holy City of the Wichitas for generations continue to guide us as we move forward together. May we praise and honor Jesus Christ and remain faithful to the vision of sharing His story with generations yet to come.

“Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.” — 1 Peter 1:8

🙏 May God bless you this Saturday evening, and may He continue to bless the Holy City of the Wichitas.

The Truth About How the Holy City Is Funded

Today, I was informed that more than 50% of people believe the Holy City of the Wichitas is funded by the federal government or that we have people providing funding for everything we do. That is simply not true.

The Holy City of the Wichitas is a historic place, originally built through the Works Progress Administration in 1934. For nearly 100 years, it has stood as a testament to faith, history, and the vision of Reverend Anthony Mark Wallock. Twice each year, we humbly continue that vision by presenting the Prince of Peace Easter Pageant, following the life and times of Jesus Christ.

But today, the Holy City is sustained by generous donations from our visitors and supporters, along with grants that we must apply for and compete for alongside other organizations. We do not have a government check paying our bills.

That is why we have created the Million Dollar Endowment Club—to build a permanent endowment that can provide income for the Holy City for generations to come. Our goal is to preserve and renew this historic place and help return it to the beauty and vitality of bygone years.

And the idea is remarkably simple: one dollar at a time.

Nearly 2 million people visit the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge every year. If just half of those visitors gave one dollar, we could reach our $1 million endowment goal.

There are also more than 300,000 churches in the United States. If each church—not every person in the congregation, but simply each church—gave just $1 a year, we could reach $1 million in only three years.

Every donation matters. Five dollars matters. Ten dollars matters. A hundred dollars matters. But there is something powerful about simply asking everyone to give one dollar.

The Million Dollar Endowment Club is about building a fund whose earnings can help sustain the Holy City for generations upon generations to come.

Please visit our webpage and give just $1 today.

Help us build a New Century of Growth, One Dollar at a Time.

Let us make sure the Holy City of the Wichitas lives on—not just for us, but for our children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come.

Friday Morning Reflection & History

In 1933, more than 40,000 visitors gathered in Medicine Park to witness the Prince of Peace Easter Pageant. Reverend Wallach was determined to find a place where hundreds of thousands could come each year to experience this awesome and wonderful story of faith.

We can imagine that summer of 1933, Reverend Wallach and Ron Stevens reflected on the words of Matthew 18:19:

“Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.”

Believing that if they agreed together and sought the Lord’s guidance, their Father in Heaven would take care of the rest.

Nearly a century later, we are reminded of Matthew 18:20:

“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

Today, when two or three of us gather together in the name of the Lord, He is in our midst at the Holy City of the Wichitas.

We envision a place much as Reverend Wallach did nearly 100 years ago—a place of history, peace, faith, and fellowship. And we are determined to preserve that vision for generations to come.

A New Century of Growth, One Dollar at a Time.

Join us in the Million Dollar Endowment Club and help ensure that the Holy City of the Wichitas stands for generations to come.

Thursday Reflection — Matthew 6:33

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” — Matthew 6:33

On this Thursday, let us remember that when we put God first, He gives us the wisdom, strength, and faith to move forward.

The Holy City of the Wichitas has stood for generations as a place of faith, fellowship, and peace. Today, we are working to preserve that legacy and build a New Century of Growth, One Dollar at a Time.

Every prayer, every volunteer, and every dollar helps carry Reverend Wallock’s vision into the future.

Seek Him first. Trust Him always. Build for tomorrow.

Love Is the Heart of Our Faith

Sigmund Freud said, “Love is the first requirement for mental health.” Victor Hugo said, “The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.”

In 1 John 4:10, we are reminded of the greatest love of all—not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

The Holy City of the Wichitas seeks to carry that message of love to all the world. God loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son.

Come and experience that love in the peace, history, and faith of this wonderful place. May the Holy City continue to be a place where people are reminded that they are loved by God.

08/18/2026

On this Tuesday afternoon, we are reminded that Reverend Wallock created the Easter Pageant and later the Holy City of the Wichitas to remind us of the words of 1 John 4:19: “We love him, because he first loved us.”

Today, we continue that legacy of love—not only for the story of Jesus Christ, but for all people who come to the Holy City seeking faith, fellowship, hope, and peace. May we carry Reverend Wallock’s vision forward into a new century of growth, One Dollar at a Time.
