Dear Friends:
We completed our five day annual Trucker’s Days Of Jubilee at Pollard Flat May 19-23; now we are entering a busy summer. This year we not only have the Jubilees each month but Saturday, July 17, is the dedication of Steering Wheel Ministries very first 18-wheel mobile chapel, “Your Mobile Chapel”. Besides our normal daily and weekly ministry, our summer Jubilee schedule looks like this:
Saturday, June 26: Trucker’s Afternoon Of Jubilee from 2:00-7:00 PM @ Rice Hill Pilot @ I-5 Exit 148 in OR.
Saturday, July 17: Trucker’s Afternoon Of Jubilee starting with the dedication of “Your Mobile Chapel” @ Rice Hill Pilot from Noon ‘till 6:00 PM.
Saturday, August 21: Trucker’s Afternoon Of Jubilee @ Rice Hill Pilot from 2:00-7:00 PM.
Saturday, September 11: Trucker’s Afternoon Of Jubilee @ Chemult Pilot in Chemult, OR on Hwy 97 from noon ‘till 6:00 PM.
I trust you are making plans to be with us for as many of these outreaches as you can, and especially the chapel dedication on July 17.
We had a GREAT time of ministry at Pollard Flat in May for the Trucker’s Days Of Jubilee. The weather was cooler than normal but it was better than being 105 degrees as it was the past two years. The tarp top for our big 20’x40’ tent somehow jumped out of the pickup on the way there so we had to buy a light weight tarp for $74.96 to get us by. I think it will last us this summer anyway. The blessing in this is that the place we purchased the tent from is replacing the tarp we lost as a donation to the ministry.
For the first service on Wednesday God stopped the rain. Thursday the sky was clear and it was warm. Friday we did have a little rain for a short time. Saturday the forecast was for rain but God had different ideas and we watched the storms coming straight at us and just before the storm would get to us it would go around us. We had at least three times as many drivers than ever for the evening fire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows for s’mores. To see more pictures go to www.steeringwheel.org and click on “Happening”.
Thank you for your continued support so we can continue to be out here for the men and women on the road. At least one driver was heard this year saying, “It can’t get any better than this” concerning the Jubilee at Pollard Flat. So, in behalf of these drivers let me say, thank you for giving to the Lord.
In Christ's service,
