Truck Drivers Find God at Mobile Chapel
Saunders said his faith conversion has resulted in conflicts with his parents. He explained that Jews consider believing in Jesus Christ as one's savior a betrayal to Judaism. But he said he does not see a conflict between the two faiths but a completion.
"The final piece of the story, if you will, is that now you can suddenly see this is what the picture looks like," he said passionately.
"Without that one piece called Jesus Christ you have no idea what you are looking at. It might have a name but you have no way of discerning whether it is true, whether it is a lie," he said. "Even if it is true it is not a complete truth because something is missing."
He added, "I never knew in my heart that hole here can only be filled with Jesus Christ."
His wife, who is also Jewish, came to Christ two months after Phil accepted Jesus as his Lord.
New Life
After being warmly congratulated for his faith decision by those at the mobile chapel, newly born-again Christian Daniel Mullins went back to his truck to get his Bible. Mullins followed the TFC tradition of getting his Bible dated and signed by all those who witnessed the day that he rededicated his life to Christ.
The man who came in downtrodden just hours before now reached out his hand to squeeze the shoulder of a chaplain and offer a smile.
"Today is your spiritual birthday," one of the chaplains told Mullins, reminding him that he now has a new life.
