In the beginning of this work, my mother, the late Overseer, had a vision of some Christian workers giving out the Message from a wagon on the city streets. She recognized this as a call from God to put into use such a method of presenting the Gospel. She began to inquire about a suitable vehicle, and the very next day, Sunday, a load of our Christian workers were out on the streets telling the Story from one of the "latest" means of conveyance in those days – a horse-drawn express wagon. A businessman used it during the week and we used it on Sunday. In 1908, during the Mt. Tabor campmeeting, the first Gospel wagon of our own was purchased at a price of around $250. The horses were hired for each trip, but we provided the harness. When the first wagonload left for street meeting so many wanted to go that the vehicle was crowded to capacity. Sunday after Sunday and night after night testimonies rang out from workers on the Gospel wagon who told of God's saving and keeping power. Many were convinced of the Truth and sought God's mercy.

One Sunday a well-dressed woman stepped forward and asked for prayer for her healing. The workers prayed, God not only healed her but saved her. A heavenly light broke over her face as she praised God for what He had wrought, and a hush fell over the large crowd of listeners.

Drunkards, drug addicts, and other helpless fallen men and women requested prayer on various occasions and God delivered all kinds of sinners from their evil habits and desires, transformed their lives and made them respectable citizens. One day as an old drunkard came forward and knelt by the wagon, a saloon-keeper rushed to him, put his hand on his shoulder, and said: "Old man, I will never sell you another ‘drink,’ by the grace of God."
