Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Saturday, June 18 I met this rabbit shortly after 6:30 AM when I was walking across Macungie Park to get our morning coffee and breakfast sandwich. It wasn’t interested in going with me as it preferred the grass over coffee. I love seeing new (or old) things on an early morning walk. About mid-morning Denis […]
Friday, June 17 We weren’t there very long before people began visiting the chapel – some came in alone, others with family or friends. While the men – Cerwin and Chaplain Steve – manned the chapel, I went for a walk to see what was happening in the vendor area of the park. It seems there […]
June 1 to 15 Wednesday, June 1. I received a call from Chrome Shop Mafia saying they had just shipped a partial skid of goodies to our office. I was expecting a box of “goodies” from them, http://www.chromeshopmafia.com/truck-shows/ because they offered to give us goody bags for the first 125 drivers who register at the Truck Rally, but a […]
Saturday evening, June 4 Crossing the Susquehanna Giving Cerwin directions for parking Supper is looking – and smelling – good Cerwin hanging the “open” sign Prayer for the evening Their bus and a school bus were kept busy bringing people to the fest. Because they needed their parking lot for activities, people parked at a neighboring […]
Saturday Morning, May 21 TFC’s Lancaster Chapter meets at Landis Homes each May so one of the men can join them. He has been at Landis Homes since a medical situation took away his ability to walk. We didn’t fit in the special room so had breakfast in the dining room. After breakfast we fit in […]
A few weeks ago Cerwin got the word from TFC President, Scott Weidner, to begin construction on a new chapel for Houston, Texas. Yay! I get a road trip to Houston – which will take us through the only two states in the lower forty eight in which we have never traveled – Mississippi and Louisiana. (After […]
Saturday Evening, May 14 We had about an hour and a half – after the last people left from yard cleanup – to get ready for the banquet. I kept looking at our beautiful yard and watching the birds return to their turf near our feeders. The flower beds look so nice with mulch or red stones. If […]
Wednesday, May 11 We (several TFC staff from the International Office) arrived at Sam and Alice’s house about 9:45 AM – after an hour and forty-five minute drive. Sam is on the right. He is Assistant Director of Pastoral Care for Chaplains. We planned this workday for him because he has a big yard and orchard and recently […]
Sunday, May 1 It was a cold, rainy morning as we headed to the York Make-A-Wish gathering place at Battlefield Harley-Davidson, Gettysburg. Bill (left) is TFC’s York Chapter Contact Person and is coordinator between us and York/Gettysburg Make-A-Wish for this event. Our first visitor came for prayer. We were glad to be inside the dry, warm chapel. There was […]
The newest trailer was backed into the TFC shop last fall, but Cerwin is still waiting for the go-ahead to begin construction. Delay in construction on the new trailer is for good reason as this will be the first in a series of Truckers’ Life Centers—chapels that will include a wellness area. TFC President and […]
Sunday, January 10 It has been a tradition for many years that we combine our Truck Rally and Lancaster Banquet meetings in one afternoon – because some members are on both committees. Just before the Truck Rally meeting started, someone noticed the rainbow. It wasn’t at a great location for us, as it was behind […]
Friday, October 23 Leaves were at peak color during the fourth weekend of October, so I tried to take advantage of the morning sun. A bus of students on the way to school. Look what jumped into my photo. Later in the day, Cerwin and Glenn Fahnestock went to a nearby trailer auction. They were pleased […]
Sunday, October 11 Our prayer team was here for lunch – then an informal meeting where several staff members shared an update on their part of the TFC ministry. We invited Jeff and Ruth Martin as guests, so the team could meet them and hear about Ruth’s work as Administrative Assistant in the Office of Chaplains. […]
Saturday, October 10 We were out of the house by 4:00 AM so we could have the International Chapel to Menges Diner by 6:00 AM. Some people think we move each of our chapels. However, this is the only one that is used as a mobile rig. ~~~ Maybe this would be a good time to […]
Saturday, September 19 It was a beautiful afternoon for Bucks-Montgomery Chapter’s Truck Show. By 6 PM it was time for the evening dinner concert. Scott Weidner, TFC President and CEO gave a ministry update. We enjoyed a great concert by King’s Strings. They are a family of nine children. Two of them are in college, so there […]
Monday, August 24 Michelle has been part of the TFC team at the International Office for the past few years, but her dream job – working in the church office where her husband is pastor – came available, so we all reluctantly released her. 🙂 Cerwin thanking Michelle for her excellent service to TFC. Katie, the newcomer to […]
Saturday, August 22 The TFC chapel does not have a reserved space at this event, so we get up early – before I can take pictures as we travel. Before long we saw signs of the sunrise. After getting to our spot at The Buck, we enjoyed coffee and the beautiful morning. I thought this […]
Monday, August 3 These pictures were emailed to me yesterday – by Chaplain John Grove. He will be the lead chaplain on this chapel. This picture appears to have been taken from the setup on Saturday – before the missions conference in Lady Lake. Cerwin and Glenn installing a door awning yesterday after taking the chapel to […]
Cerwin sent me these cell phone pictures from yesterday at Tri County Baptist Church. There were lots of visitors to the chapel – before and following the morning and evening missions conference. Chaplain John and Tanya Grove and their boys. Lunch When I learned that Phil Kane attends Tri County Baptist, I asked Cerwin to […]
The new chapel is set up and ready for tomorrow’s missions conference in Lady Lake, Florida. Glenn talking to Doug Kraus (seated), TFC’s Director of Location Development, and a man who helped with the setup. I am sorry that I don’t know his name. The man I don’t know, Chaplain John Grove and Doug Kraus. John will […]
The chapel arrived at Tri County Baptist Church, Lady Lake, Florida, about 6:45 PM yesterday – after a three-hour delay to repair the truck’s air conditioner. Cerwin and Glenn discovered that the air conditioner in the truck was not working about bedtime on Thursday evening – and it was hot in Columbia, South Carolina, where they stopped […]
Thursday, July 30 The newest TFC chapel is on its way to Florida – from Marietta, Pennsylvania. Cerwin took this picture yesterday after pulling it out of TFC’s shop. Pray for Cerwin and Glenn Fahnestock as they make this delivery – first to Tri County Baptist Church, Lady Lake, Florida, for their Missions Conference on Sunday, August […]
Saturday, July 11 We followed this interesting cycle for several miles… …then to our surprise, they turned into Mt. Hope Auction. This is a sampling of Saturday at the Ohio Truck Rally. If you want to see many more pictures, go to my Facebook album – https://www.facebook.com/doris.j.high/media_set?set=a.10153010420197322.1073741849.612697321&type=3¬if_t=like I asked for permission to photograph it. I think […]
Friday morning, July 10 We arrived at Mount Hope Auction just before 10 AM. Cerwin helped Jason Nussbaum and a volunteer set up a canopy where the grill was going to be placed. My job was to photograph the activities. That sounds like tough duty. 🙂 All Events Rental set up tables and chairs. Cerwin […]
Sunday, June 28 By Sunday morning, the sun was shining, but leftover rain drops from the day before were on each truck that was still on the grounds. The Browns were back for another delightful, inspiring Gospel concert. I love the Sunday morning worship session. It is always more relaxed than the day before. I always […]

Manheim Brethren In Christ Church – Sunday, June 21 This is a day when we have opportunity to tell the young Sunday school classes about trucks and Transport For Christ. Gene (right) told the children about the value of listening to God – and how truckers listen to the sounds of a truck when traveling over the highway. Listening helps a […]
Saturday, June 20 We woke up to rain on Saturday morning – heavy rain. Despite the rain, trucks continued to arrive. The weather cleared by 9:00 AM and people began checking out the trucks again. I would guess that this golf cart is owned by a trucker. I was pleased when an old trucker friend (green) […]
Friday, June 19 It was nice to find a few daylilies at a truck show. Macungie is a large park, and a beautiful place to have a truck show Trucks continued to arrive all day long. It was a beautiful day to be a vendor at a truck show. Back at the chapel – following […]
Antique Truck Club of America – Friday, June 19 We had a pretty, hazy, drive to Macungie, which is located about one-and-a-half-hours northeast of us. The first thing we did was set up the chapel – which Jake and Cerwin took to Macungie the day before to make sure we can get into our spot before a […]
