I'm a Pastor, a Patriot and I enjoy RVing and Motorcycling. Details: I'm a Husband, a father and a pastor. While I was born in MI my family jokes that I'm a native Floridian. I'd love it if God called me to serve in FL or TN someday but I'm confidant that I'm currently serving where He has called. When I'm done with my current call I'd love to travel the country in my RV serving churches as an interim pastor, pulpit fill or even plant a church at a camp ground someday. Home Town: My home town is Sterling Hgts. MI. I'm a missionary currently ministering to the peoples of Illinois in the Chicago land area. Favorite Boondocking Locations: Don't know yet Skills or Expertise to Share: I'm a chef as well as a pastor.

Host was very friendly and gracious- thank you for the hospitality! Church parking lot with a good amount of space and privacy. We stayed here while visiting Chicago and it worked well for us as a home base.

Great location, fairly level. Communication was great, had no issues getting to the location. Plenty of space to turn around and to either unhook a toad or keep it connected. Near lots of shopping, restaurants and ice cream (Stricklands). Thank you again!

Great place to stay and start our Route 66 journey. Thanks so much to our host for sending us tips for finding propane, pizza, touristy spots we needed after he met us at the parking area. The walking path on the fronting road was great for pup walks too.

There is plenty of room at Messiah. I only have a mini camper, but this would be ideal for a big rig.
