By Rev. Bruce Maxwell
A regular at the Gateway Travel Plaza on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Breezewood, UPS driver Jeff Sims had a “drop and hook” dedicated route where he exchanged trailers with another UPS driver before heading back to Richmond, Va. He has come to appreciate a Christian presence at the Gateway Travel Plaza.
Jeff shared about his faith journey and involvements with his local church and how tremendously encouraged he was knowing there was a ministry in Breezewood offering prayers for him and other truckers as well as their families at home.
The photo above captured Jeff (with Chaplain Bruce Maxwell) on the last day of the particular route that brought him into Breezewood on a regular basis. He came in to say, “thank you” and “good bye,” until his next assignment brings him back.
We give thanks to God for drivers such as Jeff, and their families, with hearts inclined toward Christ who labor the miles bringing goods and services to all corners of the land, and for all the opportunities to share God’s love at this busy highway marketplace.
