Where Faith in Christ Meets a Life on the Road, by Jamie Hall, featured the TFC Sherwood Park Chapel located at the Road King Travel Center (Yellowhead Trail & Broadmoor Blvd). You can read the story online by clicking here.
Lead Chaplain Sam McIntosh explained during the interview, "There are a lot of drivers driving around with a lot of heartaches, but in a macho world you don't express those heartaches. Our little chapel is like a safe haven for truckers. They seem to be able to open up in here because we don't judge and we don't criticize--we just try to teach God's Word."
One reader posted the following comment about the article on the Edmonton Journal Web site: Thank you, Journal, for this article. Amid high gas prices, federal politics and Eastern conflicts, this article was a blessing to read. We need more stories like this to remind us that there are good things happening out there. Good work!
