Mission partners
Walk the road with us.
Churches, businesses, and individuals who stand alongside Driving With Jesus make this ministry possible. Together we put encouragement directly into a driver's hands.

Rick Saling, founder of Driving with Jesus, with Pastor Bob Russell, retired Senior Minister of Southeast Christian Church.

Pastor Bob Russell’s Teaching—Encouragement for the Road
We are honored to have the encouragement and support of Pastor Bob Russell, retired Senior Minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky. Pastor Bob faithfully served Southeast for 40 years and continues sharing the truth of God’s Word through Bob Russell Ministries.
As part of Driving with Jesus, selected biblical messages from Pastor Bob will be provided to truck drivers on flash drives—giving them access to uplifting teaching, spiritual encouragement, and the hope of Jesus while traveling the road.
This special outreach supports our greater mission: to carry the message of Jesus through the transportation and logistics industry and into corporate America. Through every message shared, we want drivers to be reminded that they are valued, prayed for, and never alone on the road.
“Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
— Romans 10:17
A note to prospective partners
Thank you again for your willingness to connect and for your openness to supporting Driving with Jesus—it truly means a great deal.
As we continue to grow this year, we're focused on expanding our ability to serve and support drivers across transportation networks in meaningful, tangible ways. Given your organization's reach and influence, we see several potential avenues for partnership:
- Corporate Sponsorship: Supporting the expansion of our driver outreach initiatives across multiple regions.
- Product Contributions: Opportunities to include donated items in care packages distributed to drivers.
- Industry Connection: Introductions to leaders in transportation or those involved in charitable partnerships within your network.
- Advisory or Board Engagement: Strategic involvement from experienced leaders who share a passion for our mission.
Several large churches across the U.S. are already partnering with us, and we are now seeking to build strong relationships within corporate America to broaden our impact.
I've shared a few potential directions, but I would value the opportunity to better understand where your interests and priorities align. From there, we can explore the most meaningful way to work together.
