Transport for Christ Crossroads
Truckers Chapel,
Highway 116, #1 exit
Lickman Road,
Chilliwack, B.C.
TransCanada Esso Truck Stop
The life of a trucker is
often very lonely. We have the privilege in Chilliwack of having a mobile
chapel that has an office and a separate room that we serve refreshments,
tea, and coffee all the time. Home baked cookies are available most of the
time.
There is a great need
for committed men and husband and wife teams to go into the harvest field
where there are truckers to be reached with the gospel message. We have been
blessed to have 5 first time decisions for Christ this year, January to June
30th/05
Here
are some of the comments the men have made.
“I thank the Heavenly
Father for the chapel being here.”
“Thank-you God for
letting me become part of the big picture.”
“I am glad this chapel
is here in Chilliwack. I received Jesus for the first time tonight.”
These testimonies can
only happen because of the faithful volunteers that come to the Crossroads
Chapel prepared to minister to the truckers. Many hours are spent with no
visitors stopping, that can be discouraging, but then there are the high
points when a driver comes in and find’s someone there that cares about what
is happening to him. Someone who is willing to listen, pray with them and
minister as the Holy Spirit directs.
There are many
desperately hurting men and women that need to hear about Jesus, the one who
is able to heal the broken hearted, the sick, and the wounded. The chapels
can be like a church for believers who don’t get to fellowship in their own
churches on a regular basis.
This is the mandate of Transport for Christ.
Mission:
Leading truckers as well as the
trucking community to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith.
Vision:
To provide an effective ministry to truck drivers throughout the world
wherever there is a significant trucking industry.
Goal:
That no trucker should have to drive more than a day without being able to
find a TFC Mobile Chapel.

We
can’t begin to tell you how much your prayers mean to us.
