Normally the sign outside of a church is one of the first things you see. Abundant Life Baptist Church in Transcona is hoping that its sign will start to stir curiosity in people as they drive by, and possibly lead them to Jesus.

Putting the phrase, "Google it!" up on their sign then followed by a song lyric, leaders at the church are hoping that those who pass by will search out the lyrics, which will ultimately point them to Christ.

Those who pass by the church on Plessis Road this week will read a lyric from Jordan Feliz's, 'Jesus is Coming Back.'
