"It
is a privilege each year to be
involved with the presentation of the International Day of Prayer for Truckers.
Twelve years ago Bob
Hataway and Joe Hunter met at the Mid America Trucking Show and planned the
National Day of Prayer for Truckers. It has now expanded into an International
Day of Prayer for Truckers world wide.
We receive requests
each year from drivers across the country and other countries to include them.
"With 21st century internet technology, we can involve drivers
worldwide," Hataway declared.
We invite truckers who
can not attend to join with us at 9:00AM, your local time, to
pray for truckers and their families. Prayers offered at local times will
ensure prayers being offered throughout the day.
Carriers, trucking companies,
company drivers, owner operators, vendors, truckstops,
receivers, and shippers can set aside a moment of silence at 9:00AM on April 2,
2011 for prayer for the truckers and their families everywhere.
The International
Day of Prayer for Truckers is sponsored by TransAlive USA, Truckstop
Ministries, Transport for Christ, and Tim Young, CEO Mid-America Trucking
Show/EMA in Louisville,
KY.
Exhibitors at MATS are
encouraged to assign a representative from their booth to join the International
