CONSTRUCTION OF:
YOUR MOBILE CHAPEL

Merwin Rhoades, president of Steering Wheel Ministries, took delivery of the mobile chapel when Russ Kollin brought it to Steering Wheel Ministries on November 26, 2007. Russ is an owner operator and he brought the trailer to Oregon from Illinois and did not charge Steering Wheel Ministries a dime. Russ says God blesses him for taking care of God's ministries.

As you can see, this trailer needs to have the paint taken down to the metal and repainted.

This is a picture of part of the living quarters. The lader goes up to what used to be the bed before a leak in the roof took it out.

What you see in the pictures is different from what you saw when you were there, but this gives you an idea of what we started with. Due to water damage we will have to replace the ceiling and floor throughout.

The bathroom and entire living quarters needs to be completely rebuilt.

We are having to replace the paneling on the walls because of holes and we need to get into the wiring as all the wiring needs to be replaced for safety.

All in all we are having to take it all down to the framework and start over.

Concerning the Chapel area we can use some old wood church pews for seating. We need a generator for this unit also.

Keep watching as the pictures are updated as the work is done. We have what we believe is a God given goal of having it all done and on the road by late spring or early summer of 2008.

Gene, a volunteer helper, is taking out the wiring.

Rocky is helping by taking out the ceiling.

A view of the other direction of the chapel that is now taken out.

Merwin, president of Steering Wheel Ministries is getting rid of leaks.

Now that the leaks are fixed we are ready to start building back into the chapel. This view is from the chapel area into the living quarters.

It turns out that the rust problems are not as bad as we thought they were, but this gives you an idea of what needs to be done in getting the trailer ready to paint.

The propane is installed and ready for the furnace.

The furnace is installed. The furnace and installation was donated by K&C Heating and Air.

Ready to put a new floor and new partitions in the living quarters.

This Mobile Chapel is being built for the glory of God by gifts from those who want to see souls saved from Hell through Jesus Christ and His shed blood.
