Our Prayer & Advisory Team
TFC Candidate Training School
The Chapel is Heading to Illinois
Sunday, October 14
Our TFC Prayer & Advisory Team came to our house for lunch. During the afternoon Sam Rittenhouse, Bunny O’Hare, Cerwin. I gave them an update on what is happening in TFC. They also had some questions for us. Glenn and Rachel Fahnestock (right) are new to our team and are going along with us to Illinois to set up the new chapel.

The Communications Team shared information with those going through Candidate Training School.
Jane Evans, Director of Communications, gave them ideas on how she can help them with advertising their events in newspapers, radio, Internet, etc.
It is my goal to cut back on some of my duties by the time I am seventy (2014). I am very pleased that Jane is willing to learn the process of the layout and design of newsletters.
Inge, Executive Assistant to the President and Editor of TFC’s Highway News,is the one who will help them with their first mailing (letters, brochures, and prayer cards).
I am Director of Staff Communications and gave them hints and ideas for future newsletters (write several a year, use photos), suggestions (use a simple font that is easy to read, share what is happening in your area of ministry), and let them know a few things that are not negotiable with our copyeditors and proofreaders (never complain, don’t preach, don’t start you letter by apologizing for being late – because nobody know that you wanted to write it two months ago).
Lynn Kolb, Finance/Technology/Exit 58 Coordinator, serves in the finance department, keeps the TFC website updated, spreads the news about our ministry to drivers on Facebook, and is the TFC contact for drivers against human trafficking.
We are excited that the new chapel Cerwin and many volunters began building in July is now ready to be delivered.
Supplies and chairs are packed for travel.
I expect we will see some beautiful fall scenery in the next few days, but first I want to show you what it looks like around our house.
If you live near or drive Route 322 (Pennsylvania), I-80 (Pennsylvania to Illinois), and I-39 (Illinois) in the next two days and see this rig, blow your horn, wave your arms, or do something to get our attention.
We expect to arrive at Petro Travel Plaza, I-39, Exit 99 (Route 38), Rochelle, Illinois, on Sunday afternoon.
I will try to keep you updated each evening.
Pray for us (Glenn, Rachel, Cerwin, and me) that God will grant us traveling mercies.

It’s amazing how those trucks transform! The trees are absolutely gorgeous!!!
@slmret - Delivering a new chapel is one of the most thrilling things we do in our part of serving with TFC. I think our trees will not be this pretty when we return home next week.
I was so pleased to be able to tour one of TFC’s chapels at Columbia, SC recently while on a trip. It’s a great work. God bless you as work in His vineyard. Such beautiful fall pictures. It’s something I see only in pictures and in my imagination! Thanks for posting.
Dear God, I pray for those that are traveling to deliver this chapel, may you give them safety as they travel. I pray this chapel will be a blessing to many people. Lord bless the chaplain with wisdom for each situation/person who he meets through this chapel. May God bless all involved with TFC.
Love the finch shot with the male in the background ~
nice post
@ColeenSr - I’m so glad you got to see that chapel. Did you meet a chaplain? Which one? Chaplain Ted and Clifford are the ones we know.
@wanwilhurst - Thank you! Thank you!
@fwren - I liked that one too, and how the yellow leaves showed up in the background.
@gleerockerchic83 - Thanks! Thanks for subscribing, I look forward to hearing more from you.
