One thousand, eight hundred forty-two clusters of crosses were scattered across the highway system more than a decade ago after a singular man’s prophetic vision.
It was so fascinating that CBS Sunday Morning sent a reporter to interview former oil millionaire Bernard Coffindaffer, who paid for each cross out of pocket, much to the dismay of his family.
He lost all his money following the Holy Spirit.
“He said, ‘I want you to put up crosses,'” Coffindaffer said of the Spirit. “I am a country boy unknown to anybody chosen to head a major, major operation.”
