We were out of the house early – 6 AM – to attend a prayer breakfast at the Petro Stopping Center, Elkton, MD. I snapped this photo through the front car window as we were going by a cemetery about half-an-hour from home.
We had a great time with the TFC chaplains, drivers, and friends.
Chaplain Sam Houchins (left) introduced the speaker, Gordon Valentine.
Gordon is in the early stages of preparing to come on staff with TFC fulltime. We are so pleased about that, as he is a real solid Christian.
The Elkton chaplains were most pleased that Jimmy came to the breakfast.
He is a lumper (someone who hangs around truck stops looking for jobs of loading and unloading trucks) and has been in and out of this truck stop for years. This is the first time he consented to come to a TFC service of any kind.
This chapel has one of the best locations in the ministry.
Every truck driver who enters the Petro has to walk past it! Not many chapels get placed this close to the entrance.
