| 1951 - 1985 | Established in 1951, for the first 35 years Transport For Christ (TFC) was primarily a mobile ministry, with chapels moving from truck stop to truck stop. Highway News and Good News began in March 1957 as a mimeographed sheet called Highway Evangelist with a circulation of 280. By 1985, with only two of six Mobile Chapels in operation, 100 to 120 truckers were coming to Jesus Christ each year. |
| 1986 - 1990 | In 1986, TFC placed the first permanent chapel at a truck stop in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, at the request of the truck stop owner. That year, 150 drivers trusted Christ through the ministry of that one chapel. Operational costs were dramatically reduced and many local people became involved in the ministry as volunteers. From this point on, all new TFC Mobile Chapels were placed permanently at truck stops across the country. TFC became a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) in 1990. |
