US truckers shown road to Christ
At first glance, you might mistake Tom and Janis Kemp for employees at the busy Bartonsville truck stop, in western Pennsylvania.
But the place where they work is set apart from the main building, and their Western-style cowboy shirts are emblazoned with the words "Transport for Christ (TFC)".
Their chapel is a 25-metre-long (80-foot-long) office trailer that could be driven off the parking lot and onto the motorway at a moment's notice. But the Kemps are here to stay, at the invitation of the truck stop management.
"There's lots of prostitution, drugs, alcohol. We help deter that. I hope the truckers see genuine care, a place that's a haven, and can share in the hope that we have," said Janis.
