'God Is' Ad Campaign to Hit 1,000 NYC Subways

Pro-God ads will hit some 1,000 subway cars throughout New York City beginning Friday, announced the New York church sponsoring the campaign.

Times Square Church, located in the heart of Times Square in New York City, will launch its ad campaign in hundreds of subway cars and on 50 platform posters in Manhattan stations at the end of this week.

Ads will boldly feature the words "God is" in the center,surrounded by words describing God's qualities in colorful fonts. Among the "God is" attributes are: with you, willing to help, able to protect, a father, a husband to the widow, your friend, aware of your struggle, a good listener, the one who loves you, power to change, incredible, ready to forgive, there when no one else is, looking at you, Jesus.

"We want to encourage people to seek God and prove that indeed He is," explains Carter Conlon, senior pastor of Times Square Church. "The ads describe God in just a few of the infinite ways He proves His presence to us every day."

Bringing God into the public square is nothing new to Times Square Church. In September, the church hosted "Prayer in the Square" that attracted as many as 60,000 people representing over 300 churches and 65 youth organizations for an hour of prayer in Times Square.

In its latest attempt to get people talking about God and religion, the church hopes to not just draw unbelievers, but also former believers.

"We are praying that people who don't know God and would like to know Him, would be moved by these ads to visit Times Square Church or any Bible believing church in New York City and find God through the forgiveness freely offered through His Son, Jesus Christ," Conlon said. "And to those who once knew God and need to get back to God, we want to say simply this: His arms are open wide always ready to welcome you home."

Times Square Church is an inter-denominational,multinational congregation founded by best-selling author, the Rev. David Wilkerson, who wrote The Cross and the Switchblade. More than 8,000 people, representing more than 100 different nationalities, gather to worship each week at Times Square Church.
