Signs4Jesus

Notice: Many folks are wondering where the sign for Jesus is! As many of you know, after 9 years of use we began having multiple technical issues with the sign. Replacement parts were no longer available. With the help of many faithful supporters, we saved enough money to order a new sign. Made in the USA! The new sign is full color and a tad larger. Unfortunately, after we removed the old sign we found that the new sign would not easily bolt up the way we had hoped. We must fabricate all new framing. It will take some time to get the new sign hung up. Once that is complete, we move to the technical side of this which is connectivity and software. Please keep this in prayer. If you feel led to support the sign we certainly would appreciate it. All these things that must be done add up quickly. We need your support! The most important thing is getting the Word of God out to a nation that is hurting and in need of a positive message from God!

Can you believe it’s been almost 9 years since the first sign was installed? When we purchased this sign we were told max life would be around 10 years. As many of you know the Eastbound sign has been completely shut down since last fall (due to malfunctions) and though the Westbound sign remains operable (Praise God!) reliable parts are no longer available. It’s time for a new sign, with newer technology and sharper lettering. We’ve received so many phone calls, emails and text messages regarding the current state of the sign. We want you to know we are actively working on the replacement sign. We hope to have the new sign installed this spring! Has God’s Word on this sign been a blessing to you, someone you love or know? Please consider a donation which will go 100% towards a quality replacement. All things are possible through Christ!

We have some very excited news to share! Recently God has opened some unexpected doors for us to raise a new Sign for Jesus on a heavily traveled road in Pembroke NH , which is a connecting corridor for the two cities of Concord and Hooksett. What’s even more amazing is how God has put this all together and confirmed His plan in so many miraculous ways to me. Over the years we have faithfully saved every penny possible in anticipation of the fuller vision God has given, which was to place more signs for Jesus. I’m happy to report to you that because of your support we had saved enough to this date to cover the full expenses of another high quality LED sign. Unfortunately we are now facing some familiar difficulties, like what we faced in Chichester NH , with the Town of Pembroke NH. The Town of Pembroke has denied our permit on the basis our type of LED signage is not permitted in the district we propose, however in this same district the Pembroke school and two gas stations operate the LED signage we propose. We are also told in the district the sign would be allowed, churches are not. Once again we find ourselves taking a stand for our freedom of speech and religion that our forefathers fought and died for. In the past month we have very quickly expended 25% of our sign budget on legal fees, in an effort to obtain the sign permit.The board of directors and I are convinced God has put this together, and so we are confident He will supply all our needs. We are asking for your prayers for strength and to finish the task God has placed with us, we are also asking for your financial support as God leads you. We will keep you updated as we progress. Expect great things!

Mr. E.W. Morris, on the left ; a local chicken farmer from Warren, Arkansas presented a check in the amount of $700, to Mr. Garry Reep of Signs 4 Jesus as a donation to the project. He then purchased one of the concrete Ten Commandment tablets in the amount of $500, to be displayed beside the state hwy, at the entrance to his farm. He said that he wanted to make an additional purchase of a second tablet to be placed at his other farm location in Camden, Arkansas. Truly awesome to see God’s people make these bold moves in today’s society! God bless!!

  • Signs For Jesus Yes this is so sad, and we truly believe the Lord’s heart breaks as He sees His children suffering. Thankfully, He promises to heal our broken-hearts

It’s amazing the testimonies we hear as a result of the sign scriptures displayed! One thing I under-estimated when this all began was how many different ways a single scripture could minister to so many different people. We as a whole, tend to overlook what people are truly facing each day; we meet people in the malls, gas stations or at work, etc… but do we really know the deep intimate issues they may be facing at that very moment we pass them by? At the sign, I see the cars passing by, and in those cars I see many people, but do I really understand what each person is dealing with at that particular moment as they drive past, reading the sign message each morning and afternoon? The answer is: I don’t, but I love to witness and hear how God does! I’ve grown to understand that the people driving past the sign each day aren’t just another face, or car to add to the statistics, but rather a child of God, who Jesus is reaching out His hand of encouragement too. Some are going to work to face a difficult challenge, some are on their way back from the Dr’s, possibly having heard a bad report, some are on their way to pay their last respects to a loved one, some just returning from signing their divorce papers, some who have just been laid off,  some who have just heard they have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, some are seeking, some just have questions, the angry, the depressed, the lonely, the hurting, the scared…The main point I’m making is this, the sign is there for us all, and God’s Word meets us wherever we are at! Most importantly it’s turning many peoples focus towards God and off their present circumstances.

Recently the S4J Board of Directors has voted to pursue another Sign for Jesus, the details of the exact location are still in the works, but I can say it will be located on a heavily traveled route in the vicinity of Concord NH.  Right now we have a need to raise $20,000.00 to purchase another high tech LED sign and the cost associated with permitting and erecting the sign.

Please join with us in your prayers and by showing your financial support today, every donation of any size helps, and truly makes a difference in the life’s of many.
