Church Stops Graffiti With Bible Verse

06.23.11 | Debbie Fero, Sarah Harnisch

A church that meets in a house in Memphis, Tennessee was having problems with graffitti. Every couple of days, gangs were painting their fence with all sorts of colorful and graphic images. Every week, that is, until they hung a Bible verse from Matthew outside. It reads, "Come to me if you are tired and carried with problems, and I will make you rest." Since then, there are new unwanted paintings cropping up all over town, but the church's fence is graffiti free.
