Thanks To Transport for Christ, International, truck drivers in Russia have access to a mobile chapel and a stationary chapel that present the Christian gospel to interested travelers. Both chapels serve drivers on the Ring Road that circles Moscow—a major thoroughfare connecting all points of Russia to the city.

Besides helping drivers with human needs such as lack of food and money, the chaplains offer Bibles, video and audio tapes, Christian literature, and counselling. Drivers are often away from home for long periods and have few financial and social resources. More and more drivers are finding that the chapels offer them valuable spiritual alternatives.
