All 16-year-old Lucas Hunt from Asheboro, North Carolina wanted to do was spread love for Jesus Christ, but he initially had doubts on how to accomplish this.
"I've always wanted to do something big for God, but I always thought I was too young," Hunt told WFMY News. "This way I can reach more people for God than I could ever reach on my own."
But in 2014, Hunt had a brainstorm while he was browsing in a store with his parents. He couldn't keep his eyes off a certain yard sign, so he bought it to put on his lawn. Pretty soon, the Hunts' neighbours began asking where they could get a similar yard sign.
Hunt then came up with the idea of creating a simple sign that reads, "Thank You Jesus." He began selling the signs in March 2016. To date, he has now produced over 20,000 "Thank You Jesus" signs in 22 different states.
All in all, around a thousand "Thank you Jesus" signs are reportedly planted in yards every day in America.
On his Facebook page, Hunt explained that "the Thank You Jesus signs are a testament of our gratefulness for Jesus' saving grace. Our goal is to spread this message around the world through our yard signs."
"Our goal is to spread the name of Jesus throughout the nation and share with others how thankful we are for what he does in our lives. Please join the movement and help spread the name of Jesus around the world!"
Not only does Hunt get to spread love and goodwill through his signs. He is also doing the same with the proceeds of the signs' sales. The proceeds are headed straight to the Thank You Jesus Mission, which was designed to provide grants to churches and non-profit organisations in rural areas of North Carolina.
These churches and organisations help those who are in need of educational training, food banks, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and many more.
