Faith, Not Protest: Locals Share Gospel Along Busy Ashland Intersection
ASHLAND, OH – July 24, 2025 – Amid a hot summer morning filled with the usual hum of traffic, a quiet display of faith caught the attention of passing motorists at the busy intersection of U.S. Routes 250 and 42 in Ashland.
At first glance, the scene looked like the start of a protest: two women and a man stood near the roadside around 9 a.m., each holding signs. But instead of bold political messages or heated slogans, the signs carried something different — simple passages of scripture.
When asked if they were part of a demonstration, the group smiled and shook their heads. “No protest,” one said. “We’re just sharing the gospel.”
There were no chants, no complaints, and no confrontations — just three people quietly offering a message of hope and faith to anyone willing to see it. Drivers honked and waved, some slowing to read the words. Others simply passed by, perhaps comforted by the calm reminder amid the rush of their day.
In a time when roadside gatherings often spark division, this one stood apart. It wasn’t about politics, agendas, or conflict. It was about connection — a simple act of faith, standing tall on a corner in Ashland.
