I have been a licensed and ordained minister of the Gospel for over 16 years, serving as a senior pastor, Director of Missions (DOM), and trainer. Gayle has served as a Worship Leader, Women's Conference speaker, and Sunday School teacher. We have led outreach efforts since 2003.
We served as part-time missionaries to Uganda (2018-2020). Now, as commissioned missionaries of Cross Keys Baptist Church of Florissant, Missouri, we carry the Good News to RV parks, campgrounds, and remote locations, both in-person and virtually. We aim to share the Gospel and create a sense of connectedness among the Nomads throughout North America. You may join our efforts via social media here and linktr.ee/chasingthejoneses.
As we travel in our RV, we seek to make disciples among fellow nomads and vacationers, encourage the spiritual growth of fellow believers in and outside the church, and cultivate relationships with pastors and church leaders throughout the Kingdom.
The Washington Post wrote four years ago that there were 1 million people living full-time in RVs.
Today it is estimated that there are close to two million people living the nomadic lifestyle.
Roughly 40 million people in the United States go RVing and camping on weekends.
These RVers and campers are not in church on Sundays.
It is estimated that there are over 116 million people in the United States have never heard the Gospel. These will never hear the Good News unless we go to them.
The basis of our ministry is found in the parable (story) Jesus shared while dining with the Pharisees (Luke 14).
A master (aka "a rich man") held a banquet and invited all his friends and neighbors to attend. On the big day, the master had everything ready to go, but the guests each made excuses for why they could not attend. The master sent out his servants to the street and alleys to bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame so that his banquet would be filled. The servant replied saying, "we have done all this and still, there is room. “Then the master told his servant, "Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full."
(LUKE 14: 23)
That's precisely what we are doing today - we are traveling the highways, country roads, and lanes extending this invitation to our Lord's Great Banquet!
Our RV Handle is "Chasing the Joneses" - We are Nomads for Jesus!
First, we SHARE THE GOSPEL as commanded in Matthew 28:18-19. Our focus is on reaching our Nation’s Nomads. These are the estimated 1.8 million+ souls who have no permanent home but live on wheels (in cars, vans, and Recreational Vehicles). Many do not know Christ. Others have literally driven away from spiritual ties to a body of Believers. We intentionally spread the Good News to the lost (and teach believers to do the same) to grow the Kingdom of God. We hold worship services at campgrounds and churches while also streaming Bible studies online. We hope to host meet-ups, revivals, and camp meetings as we travel.
Second, we MATURE DISCIPLES (Matthew 28:20). The New Testament speaks a lot about believers maturing in Christ; Hebrews 5:12-14 specifically reminds believers that we must graduate from spiritual milk to spiritual solid food. We partner with believers in campgrounds and local churches to promote personal spiritual growth through training, joining in their outreach efforts, and sharing our free online resources. Our online Bible Studies, “The 10:02 Show” (Luke 10:2) and “Truth to Go,” Bible Study, encourage spiritual growth among fellow nomads and our brothers and sisters in local churches.
Third, we CULTIVATE LEADERS by providing in-person and virtual prayer and counseling for pastors, lay leaders, pastors’ wives, and the Church. Tim has always had a heart for developing and supporting church leadership. As a Director of Missions for the Greater Detroit Baptist Association and part-time missionary (Uganda), God has allowed the scope of our ministry to grow to an international scale. Gayle has a heart and mission for women (including ministry wives) & children. She is a women’s conference speaker and has taught Bible Studies for women and children. God has also given her the opportunity to develop as a Worship Leader - She now shares her unique take on training up praise team members. Her greatest passion is teaching Believers to overcome “stage fright” by teaching them how to Share the Gospel in 30 Seconds.
We make our resources available for free download to encourage pastors, lay leaders, and church members in order to further their mission goals. These resources include sermon outlines, handouts, devotions, church administrative tools, and Gospel Tracts. (Matthew 10:8)
God has given us a significant task, and we know we cannot accomplish it alone. Please become a part of it!
BECAUSE OF THEIR NOMADIC LIFESTYLE, THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR MINISTRY IN THE RV COMMUNITY.
Here is our YouTube video of how we do church while on the road.
It is estimated that there are over 1.8 million people living full-time on wheels. These people are called 'Nomads'.
Most RVers look for ways to make their life easier as they travel. Our free, downloadable resources have been 'road tested" for individual and small groups.
Check out our RV videos. We share what we love, RV tips, upgrades and more.
Campers on Mission (COM) is a national fellowship of evangelical Christian campers who look for opportunities to share their faith and love of Jesus Christ through their participation in mission activities while camping. Two characteristics of COMers are a love of the great outdoors and a love of sharing Jesus.
