Church Takes Cardboard Testimonies Highway 29, Sharing Stories Of Faith
August 24, 2014
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But a few words on piece of plain brown cardboard can tell a life story and story of faith in a way a thousands words could not touch.
The concept is simple. A piece of cardboard. A permanent marker. On the first side of the cardboard for all to see is the story of a sin, a trial, a struggle or battle. On the flip side is where the person stands today though Christ.
“I was broken and tried to kill myself,” read one side of a piece of cardboard a woman stood holding alongside Highway 29. “But God made me whole!”
Her “cardboard testimony” was one of dozens from CrossFaith Church in Molino at the Highway 29 and Muscogee Road intersection in Cantonment Saturday morning. The biggest challenges, hurts, and prayers of a lifetime condensed into seconds for passing traffic on plain cardboard.
“I was a womanizer, a[n] adulterer, drug user, acholic [sic], dealer, verbally abusive,” tough words for a grown man to admit on one side of his sign. The other: “God cleansed and set me free.”

Your site is a source of encouragement. I am recovering from throat cancer, and I am relearning to speak. It is not easy, but God is with me every step of the way. You testimonies have help me see that the harvest is plentiful.
I just want to add my name to the list of people who are grateful for what this church did Sat. It takes a real man or woman to admit they have struggled. You stood out there in the heat and let everyone know there is hope.
Brilliant idea! All glory be to God! In Jesus’ Name!
Thank you to those people for being so brave to stand for our GOD. And what a great idea. I am sure you have inspired more people and churchs to do this.
GOD IS AMAZING!!
Love in action.
I saw the group as I was traveling down Hwy 29. I thought it was great to see them. My great-niece (12 years old) was waving at the people holding the signs. They set a very good Christian example for her. Thank you for your testimony, especially when the temperatures were unbearable.
No matter what you have done or said, Jesus will forgive you. He loves you more than you could ever know. Glory to God Almighty!!!
Never to late to let God have control. Prayer works if we take the time to listen after we ask. God is not a vending ,machine but we are his children and he cares and really loves us. God bless you all .
We saw them yesterday when we went to Pensacola, it was quite a blessing to them all out there sharing! God bless them all!!!
I think this is great!!!! Cause like the saying goes you have to admit you have/had a problem before you can fix the problem. If someone wants to condemn them are most likely the ones that need to be doing the same thing. And its your right freedom of speech if you want to put your business out there.be I think you are doing the right thing….I bet you feel like you now can make a fresh start with nothing to hide..clean slate….GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
Awesome! ! Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me,I once was lost but now am found t’was blind but now I see ! Not only does God prepare us to die……but he prepare’s us to live as evidenced by these cardboard signs these changed people are holding up.A Holy life is a good life.
What a blessing it was to stand and tell what the Father has done for me. Cant wait to do it again!!!!!
Such an awesome way to share your testimony. This is truly stepping out on faith – as others see your deepest, darkest sins. God Bless each one of you who shared your reborn soul with your community. GOD IS SO GOOD!!
