TransAlive * USA - Fort Worth-based ministry helps truckers nationwide in Jesus’ name
Who comes to their aid if they become seriously ill or injured while in transit? Who cares for a family in the tragic event of the driver’s death while away from home?...
Wyoming,USA -Southern Baptist Texan/Noth American Missions Board, by Kay Adkins -20 Nov 2007: -- ... Bob Hataway is a chaplain for the North American Mission Board, and a member of First Baptist Church in Fort Worth with a lifelong passion for the trucking industry. Since he started TransAlive in 1984, he has been the hub for ministry to about 200 distressed truckers per year... His call to this ministry began one day in 1975 when he stopped at the scene of a traffic accident on Interstate 35 in Hillsboro. He went to the hospital to check on the Indianapolis truck driver injured in that accident. Hataway and his wife, Carol, ministered to the driver and his wife for more than eight weeks, helping them cope with the trauma and manage the life change they would undergo because of the accident... Hataway began to be burdened by the plight of truckers, who, by the nature of their work, are isolated from their support system...
