Recent Activities in TFC

We received a phone call on Sunday, August 18 asking if John Dowd could park his camper rig at the TFC office. The rig if self-contained, so that was no problem.8-19 John Dowd (1)His camper was featured in the February 2013 Highway News http://www.transportforchrist.org/pdf/February2013HighwayNewsOnline1.pdf, Cerwin was anxious to meet John and see the rig on Monday morning.

Seedplanter Chapel, Elkton, Maryland

8-27 Elkton (4)The SeedPlanter Chapel, which is placed at the Flying J near Elkton, Maryland, has been out of service for the past few months due to construction at the truck stop.

Finally it was time to put it in place and for it to be hooked up to electric and ready again for ministry. Cerwin and Glenn Fahnestock took a new set of steps to the truck stop on Tuesday.

We understand that drivers began coming in the chapel as soon as it opened. 🙂
