TRANSPORT FOR CHRIST TransCanada Esso Truck Stop CHAPLAIN PAUL AND EDNA CAIRNS February 2011 Ephesians 3: 19-21 has become our prayer for 2011.To know the love of
Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness
of God. Dear Friends and Family, This is only made possible by people like you who have faithfully given, encouraged, and prayed for us and the ministry at the Crossroads chapel. Because of you our Chapel still stands as a lighthouse in this dark world introducing men and women of the trucking industry to the light of the world, Jesus Christ our Lord. It is hard to believe that we will be completing our 2nd year with the ministry of TFC at the Crossroads Chapel. We cannot begin to tell you all the great things that have happened in 2010, but we’d like to share a few of them with you...We had a number of drivers accept Christ as their Saviour for the first time and many came for prayer of rededication, for encouragement and sometimes just a safe person to talk to. Here’s what a few of the chaplains had to say in their chapel log: Chaplain Mel, a young couple came in. Just new to the world of trucking. We talked about Jesus then we prayed together. The Lord is sure good. Ray from Saskatoon came in to visit. Chaplain Harry, Larry came in needing prayer for his job. We enjoyed a time of fellowship and prayer after I read from the 23 Psalm. Chaplain Marvin, Devon from Manitoba came in, had a word of prayer with him. A driver from WPG stopped in. Health wise he was in bad shape and needing pray. Chaplain Henry, Henry was beside himself when the French driver he had led to the Lord in January stopped in to see him and to let him know that he was still walking with the Lord. Chaplain Corky, Bruce stopped in to visit. Before leaving he thanked Corky with these words. May the Lord bless the ministry of TFC and all it’s Chaplain’s. and that the Lord will give a special blessing on this chapel. Often when a driver comes into the chapel our job is to listen, encourage and pray with them. They come from all walks of life, often lonely, marriages are in a mess or sometimes they have financial struggles. Only with the Lord’s help are we able to be a light in the darkness. Monthly mixed Breakfast in Chilliwack Many of you have asked about our personal support. We need to raise $3,000.00 a month to become fully supported which is our prayer for this year.

TransCanada Esso Truck Stop Exit 116 off Hwy # 1 (Lickman Rd) Chilliwack, BC Leading truck drivers as well as the trucking community CHAPLAIN PAUL AND EDNA CAIRNS August 2010 Dear Friends and Family, One year has passed since we started serving with Transport
For Christ as fulltime staff couple. The Lord continues to bless beyond what we can envision with our human eyes. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the interest, love, and faith you have had in us. Here are a few log entries made by our chaplains since January: Chaplain Henry (January 1): “A truck
driver from Quebec came in and, even though we were quite inhibited Chaplain Gerrit: “Scott came in and
I was able to minister to him. He shared his life and problems. Chaplain Ken: “Arrived at the chapel feeling good. The Lord is so good. I can sense His presence in thisplace. Glad to be in His service. Talked with Ron, new Christian, quit smoking. PTL.” Chaplain George: “Grant dropped in for encouragement, many problems; we read scripture, and I listened and prayed with him.”Chaplain Dave: “Stopped to talk to a driver parked next to the chapel. He came in and said, ‘I was at a crossroads in my life; can I share with you the big mess I am in?’ He shared his story.After I shared Philippians 4:4-9 he was in tears and said he felt better already. We talked for a while. I gave him a Bible and prayed with him. I’ll meet him for breakfast tomorrow.” Chaplain Paul: “Saturday, August 14th, I witnessed to John, a truck driver from Calgary. After I sharedfrom Luke 15:11–32, he received new life through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. He knew his boss was a Christian and wanted the same thing. He has been struggling with different things, and needs our prayers. He had no background in the faith, so I showed him how to use his new Bible and where to start reading. Also gave him a Bible study and other reading material. We serve an amazing God. So far this year we have had seven others received Jesus as their personal Savior.” We had our first Sunday morning service with three truck
drivers and a young fellow that walked in. We appreciate you so much! May the Lord reward you richly. We
are very excited to be a part of what On a more personal note, for those of you who may not know
us personally: Our youngest daughter, Cherylynn, is leaving Abbotsford at
the end of August for University of Calgary. Edna and I still do some painting and Edna also works as a
casual at Menno Home, in the laundry and May we be faithful in the service that God has called us to.
We are asking you to partner with us in prayer
and financial support to keep the chapel running (this includes literature,
Highway News and Good News magazines, and Bibles) and also to meet our
day-to-day needs. Mailing Address Paul and Edna Cairns We are raising funds for the ministry of Transport For Christ.
