The signs are not placed on the public highway but on the grounds of churches which are near schools. Jane Jorgenson is the wife of the pastor of St Mark's Lutheran Church. She quickly wanted to put one of these signs on the property of the church.

On the panels, a biblical reference is inscribed, 2 Chronicles 7: 14. She calls everyone to turn to God.

If my people, upon whom my name is called, humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and if they turn away from their evil ways, I will hear him from heaven, and forgive them their sin, and I will heal their land.
