Trucker and Traveler Ministry

A program body of the Pennsylvania Council of Churches

As part of its mission statement to "share this Good News with our neighbors in word and in deed, the Pennsylvania Council of Churches reaches out to our neighbors who travel the interstate highways of Pennsylvania to deliver the food we eat and the products we consume. We are partners with three trucker/traveler ministries that not only reach out to truckers, but are also a friend to other travelers who face a crisis situation.

 

 Each of these ministries has the service of a chaplain, supported by a management committee. The ministries offer what is appropriate to each situation: a listening ear, emergency assistance-- the good news of Jesus Christ.
