One day in early May Cerwin received a call from Dennis Finnamore, TFC’s Director of Canadian Ministries, asking how soon he could get a chapel to Pass Lake Truck Stop ~ east of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.

Cerwin’s goal for delivery is sometime in October.

Within days he called Jim at Jagtrux to see if they had any available 48′ trailers. They did, and this is the one Cerwin and Glenn chose.

Since the back doors were in good shape, and Cerwin doesn’t use them, Jagtrux removed them and put them in storage incase they have a trailer that needs back doors replaced.

By May 29 the back doors had been removed, angle iron was welded in place surrounding the back area, and the entrance door opening had been cut.

The next day Cerwin cut the opening for the living quarters window.

Yesterday the guys installed the back wall to the trailer – replacing the doors that had been removed.

This is what the interior looked like at the close of today.
