CDLMinistries (CDLM)
Truck Driver's Ministry
Come Join us and become part of God's Family of Believers!
Purpose of our Ministry:
We are here to support the needs of all drivers that stop to rest and refresh in Van Texas. Those stopping here will receive both a physical and spiritual refreshment as we communicate and share God's Word.
Why do we Serve You?
At any given time there are a half-a-million truckers moving down our nations highways. In the United States alone we have 7 to 8 million truck drivers. The industry has a culture of its own made up of drivers, dispatchers, loading dock workers, truck stop employees, just to name a few. Truckers, however, lives are very unique:
-
Drivers are away from families, friends, churches, and community.
-
Many spend days, weeks, and months out on the road.
-
Society stereotypes them in a negative way because of the culture they live in.
-
Their daily routine of driving 10-hours and taking an eight-hour break or waiting to load or unload gives drivers a lot of time to think.
-
Many drivers are Christians and need fellowship, encouragement, feeding, and counseling.
-
The majority however, is lost and need the Lord in their life.
Someone needs to show God's Love, Mercy, and Grace:
We are here to do just that; any way we can. Let us be your home away from home. Join us every Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. and / or during a Special Event Under-The-Big-Top.
