Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $45,000 spent. Biblical counsel & meeting with drivers/trucking employees who desire personal ministry: We visit 27 companies on a weekly basis, 8 companies on a bi-weekly basis, and 12 companies once a month. We are training volunteers to help in all these areas as well. Time spent with individual drivers/employees varies week to week.
  2. $35,000 spent. Preparing & leading Bible studies in the trucking terminals: Although we are always expanding the number of companies, we are currently leading Bible studies in 2 different companies, with approximately 15 people in attendance.
  3. $30,937 spent. Working with churches on best ways to engage and help people in the trucking industry. All four program services are hard to separate out financially, as the finances for the ministry as a whole are largely the salaries of the employees running the ministry, with other smaller amounts being operating, communications/development, and fundraising. The mission statement of the Truckng Collective is Building relationships between truckers, companies, and the local church to achieve transformation in Jesus Christ. It is through the activities mentioned above that this minstry can help enrich and improve the lives of families where one or more individuals are employed in the trucking industry.
  4. $28,000 spent. Providing resources (classes/studies on the web site, Bibles, reading material, podcasts, videos, etc.) for individuals to grow in thier relationships with Jesus Christ. The number of people reached by the materials left in companies or helped on our web site is unknown.
