History of ROAD

 

Phillip and Tammy Long held Bible study after hours at their truck stop diner in in Ogden Utah and invited any interested truckers to join them. This went along for several years with many of the same drivers coming back for more when they passed through the area. But it did not fill their need for knowledge and fellowship while on the road.

Then one evening about 2 years ago, Jim, a Lumber truck driver coming out of Northern California with a load of redwood, stopped in and mentioned that a weigh master there had written down a website that she had set up for her father, (accordingtofreddie.com ) He asked us to take a look at it and see what we thought.

What we thought was that these lessons were scriptural and solidly anchored in the Word and that they could provide a wonderful way for drivers on the road to study and learn. So we started handing out cards and printouts of sermons and poems from the site.. This was the birth of Roads Of America (ROA), which during this guest book round up became known as Roads Of Americas Disciples (ROAD).

After a few weeks we were getting drivers calling to say they were enjoying the studies very much and were sharing them with other drivers on the road. The site was passed from driver to driver and small discussion groups formed with emails, chats and instant messaging meetings. Eventually we were getting drivers from Central America to Canada forming more and more groups and pasting notes on bulletin boards along their routes inviting others to join ROA at accordingtofreddie.com

There are no formal rules to ROAD membership. The only thing required is a Love of Christ and a desire for scriptural bible studies, which are solid Baptist doctrines and presented here by Freddie.

 

R.O.A.D.

We travel the nation's highways,
And we've found the Lord does too.
He's saved our souls and made us whole,
Just like He'll do for you!

We love to study the Bible,


And then to share its Truths;
When others find peace and eternal life,
To us, that's plenty of proof.

We share each other's burdens;
Hold each other up in prayer;
These prayers reach heaven and cyberspace;
God and fellow R.O.A.Dies are always there.

Someday, the dispatcher angel,
Will signal, "This is your final run:
And we'll drop life's load by the side of the road
And go 'deadheading' Home!
