As a workplace ministry in the ever-changing business community of Breezewood, we celebrate the labors of truck drivers, the sacrifice of their families, and the dedicated shift work of those employed in the hospitality industry. The highway continues to provide a vital link in our nation's economy as we work along side truckers, travelers, and local employees providing a ministry of prayer, presence, counsel, Biblical hospitality, and emergency assistance. People travel through Breezewood by truck, car, bus, bike or foot for many different reasons. For each sacred encounter of a hurting heart, a wondering soul, for every hungry stomach and angry or stressed mind, we pray the all sufficient grace of God will be known by faith. God has revealed a love to conquer all things through Christ. We are thankful for all the earnest prayers and labors of love from partner churches, businesses and organizations which enable this outreach in the travel plazas of Breezewood. Working together, we make a difference by the Spirit of Jesus.
