Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Saturday, July 21 It was a dreary day, but there were already a large number of trucks on the lot when we arrived about 8:00 am. I read online that there were about 250 trucks by the end of the day – probably half of the usual number of trucks. The chapel was already placed […]
We were nicely positioned along the route so I could photograph the Parade of Lights on Friday Evening, July 6. It was a beautiful evening to watch a large parade of trucks. It was dark by the time the last trucks were entering Mount Hope Event Center. Meanwhile – inside the building – Aaron Stutzman […]

Friday, June 15 and Saturday, June 16 This is the final post concerning Macungie – and will feature the chapel ministry. A view from the chapel door. Because it was a fabulous weekend weather wise, we spent a lot of our time outside under the canopy or in the shade – enjoying our visitors. Many […]
Friday and Saturday, June 15 and 16 I chose to place this truck in a post by itself because it is so unusual. Did you ever hear of a Duplex? The owner said he knows of three registered Duplex trucks in the country. Jake talked to the owner (black hat) who said it is a […]
Friday and Saturday, June 15 and 16 Because there are so many trucks at this show, I try to look for and feature a specific year. This time I chose Chaplain Jake Wise’s birth year 1959. I found only four. There may have been more, but I looked each time we were out on the […]
Friday, June 15 There were more than 840 trucks at this show I saw most of them, but tried to limit my photos to a few special trucks.. This one caught my attention on my first golf cart trip around the grounds – thanks to Chaplain Jake Wise who serves on the chapel with us […]
Saturday Afternoon, June 2 The members of Slate Hill Mennonite Church put in a lot of work to make this a fun day for their neighborhood. This day began several years ago – in place of a week-long Bible school. All food and games are free to everyone. TFC is supported by the church, so […]
Saturday Evening, May 19 As we arrived at Ric-Mar Restaurant, Northumberland, PA, each of us ordered our meals from the menu. Cerwin shared a ministry update while we waited for our meals to arrive. I often forget to take a picture of Cerwin when he speaks, but then remember the other TFC staff person who […]
Sunday, May 6 5:45 am. Waiting in the cab of the chapel tractor while Cerwin did pre-trip checks. (The International Chapel #1 was parked next to us and what looks like light in that cab is the outside light from the shop behind it. 🙂 6:50 am. Arriving at Battlefield Harley-Davidson parking lot in Gettysburg. […]

Maintenance – the process of preserving something or keeping something in good condition April 13 – While on our way to Maine for a baby shower, we stopped at the Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, chapel so Cerwin could check on a roof situation and clean the air conditioners. Cerwin was impressed with the work of the person who […]
Tuesday, March 27 We said goodbye to Danielle who is moving on to other things. Someone at the International Office always does a nice job of decorating for such occasions. Can you tell that she is familiar with Spanish. Gathering for prayer and a few commendations on Danielle’s service with TFC. The man next to […]
Tuesday Evening, February 13 When Inge brought the March Highway News to our place, I asked Jared and Jesse to help her bring them in the garage. Can you guess who loaded Jesse’s arms with magazines? I think Jared would have tried giving him another bundle or two if I had allowed it. 🙂 Today […]
Tuesday, January 23 – at the TFC Office Chaplain Richard and Diana Olver – who trained on the Harrisburg Chapel are preparing to move to Denver, Colorado, where Richard will serve as lead chaplain.

Sunday Afternoon and Evening, January 21 We hosted the Truck Rally committee meeting in our garage. Randy and Karen Sauder are Rally coordinators and chaired the meeting. Each couple represented their area of responsibility for the Rally and shared new ideas, suggested changes, or told us that everything was going well. ~~~ After supper we […]
Thursday, January 18 We usually invite two people to come to our office to help us label and prepare the individual Highway News for mailing. But, since Cerwin is not building a chapel this winter, he has extra time – and we don’t have to ask friends to go out in the cold, wintry weather. […]
Tuesday, December 5 at Nick’s Bistro in Marietta The waitress is serving our lunch. Most people chose some kind of sandwich. My incredibly delicious Reuben Sandwich. I love Reuben Sandwiches, and this one was one of the best I have ever eaten. Some of the other sandwich choices Nick (the owner) even served some of […]
Tuesday, December 5 We were not familiar with Nick’s Bistro in Marietta, so had to use our GPS to find it. It is located in the historic area of Marietta. We were early, so I had plenty of time to take pictures. The one thing I like about eating out in December is all the […]
Tuesday, November 7 Inge has partially retired from working with TFC and will continue editing the Highway News from her home office, consequently the office staff had a farewell luncheon for her. Danielle did a great job of decorating the table. Waiting for lunch to be ready. Everyone brought a food item for the meal – except […]
Tuesday, October 24 Every now and then I decide to take a road less traveled when going to a familiar place. This was Jane’s retirement day. The table at the TFC office was decorated beautifully. Enjoying lunch Time for dessert I went home the same way. Home ~~~ Blessings to you, Jane.
Friday, October 20 This was the largest mailing I have ever done in twenty-seven years of doing bulk mailings for Transport For Christ. There were 4,021 letters and 35 trays (3 rows of trays are hidden behind the black strapping at the bottom. This was a special mailing from TFC’s International Office.
Saturday Morning, October 14 We came upon this rig on the way to York. That takes one back to a memorable day in 2001. Their prayer breakfast is held in the Ensemble Room of Cross Keys Village, New Oxford, PA We join the retirement community residents for the breakfast buffet. Enjoying breakfast Cerwin opened […]
Friday, October 6 and Saturday, October 7 Photos by Cerwin – using his cell phone. Our son-in-law Roy stopped it to see the trucks that had arrived by Friday afternoon. He especially liked this large pickup. I did not attend this show – other than take Cerwin there on Saturday morning. This show is not […]
Sunday, September 24 I love when a TFC ministry activity takes us to the Lansdale area and we get to stay at Sam Rittenhouse’s house for a night. He is an accomplished orchard keeper and gardener. This is one of the first things I saw as I stepped out of his kitchen door. The end […]
Saturday, September 23 Because Biker’s Sunday and this event were just one week apart, Cerwin kept the International Chapel at a friend’s house. I followed it from the Clemmer’s house in Lansdale to Family Heritage Banquet and Conference Center in Franconia. There were some good-looking vehicles. We had lots of visitors on the chapel. Including […]
Sunday, September 17 While I went to the Hershey program at Manor Church on Saturday, Cerwin took the TFC Mobile Chapel to Line Lexington Mennonite Church for a gospel bluegrass concert (Saturday) and Biker Sunday. Sam Rittenhouse (where Cerwin stayed on Saturday night) checking out a racing bike on Sunday morning. I always enjoy seeing […]
Monday, August 28 Our last Monday in the Nashville area was cloudy and rainy. It began raining as we neared the Antioch area where TFC’s chapel is located. Notice the truck stop TA sign to the left of the truck. Cerwin showed Chaplain Buck the results of our waxing the chapel a few days earlier […]
Saturday, August 19 More trucks driving by my chair next to the chapel. I’d like to dash around on this. 🙂 I spent a lot of time talking with this woman while the men brought visitors through the chapel. We also had a lot of visitors on the outside. People who just wanted to visit […]
