AF-1038: The Coal Miner Who Preached with Concrete: Henry Harrison Mayes

Henry Harrison Mayes wasn’t a preacher in a pulpit or a theologian in a seminary; he was a coal miner with a profound sense of purpose. Born in the Appalachian heartland of Tennessee in 1898, his life was shaped by faith, hard work, and an unrelenting determination to share the Christian message. What set him apart was not his profession but his unique mission to spread the gospel. Through concrete crosses, hand-carved markers, and even messages in bottles, Mayes carried his faith to highways, rivers, and communities across the United States. His story is one of resilience, creativity, and unwavering devotion—an ordinary man with an extraordinary mission.
