Welcome to 4 Lanes For Jesus Ministries!
We are a ministry to the professional drivers of America and anyone associated with the trucking industry. It is our desire to reach the lost in this industry and offer fellowship to those who are followers of Christ. We also want to partner with other ministries to this industry; knowing we cannot do the work alone.
A Message From Chaplain Jerry
We are thrilled to be involved in this exciting and vital ministry of reaching the professional drivers of America with the good news of Jesus Christ. It is a challenging ministry but our heart is to reach as many drivers as possible. We also desire to provide ministry to Christian drivers, drivers families, and truck stop personnel.
Having driven over the road, I know the stresses and temptations drivers face every day. Our nation relies on its truck drivers but they are often put down and treated with little or no respect. However, we know that Jesus loves them and we want to share that message with them.
In the past I have served as Team Leader for the Truckstop Ministries Chapel at the Petro in Milan, NM. God gave me many opportunites to touch the lives of drivers there. However, He has placed a great desire on my heart to plant chapels nationwide. Of the over 6,000 truck stops in America only aproximately 250 have chapel ministries of one type or another. Our desire is to have chapels at as many truck stops as possible.
We are taking two steps to make that happen. First, we will be developing an online training course for those interested in chaplaincy ministry to truck drivers and their families. This will be for both the driver who wants to serve as a missionary on the road and those in local churches who want to start a ministry at a local truck stop.
Second, we are purchasing a truck that will eventually be used to pull a mobile chapel. The concept of this part of the ministry is to take the chapel to a truck stop where local churches have shown an interest in beginning a work. Members of those churches will be invited to come participate in the services and catch the vision for ministry.
We also want to support the Christian drivers who are traveling ministers. We want to provide them with encouragement and resources to help them in their ministries. Our partnership with them will help us all reach more drivers with the Gospel.
We would love to have you or your church as a part of our team. We will be glad to help you establish a chapel ministry in your local area. We also need your prayer and financial support. Currently we have only raised approximately 30% of the budget we need to move this ministry forward. At this time we have decided that the ministry need is so great that we want to focus most of our attention on the ministry.

Bringing HOPE to lonely roads,
