CHUG’s Soul Train made its first appearance on Aug.
28, 2006, in
Wolfforth, Texas. The Soul Train is made from CitiBus
"2027." We
kept that number because Proverbs 20:27 says "The lamp
of the Lord
searches the spirit of a man, it searches out his
inmost being."
Chug wants his Soul Train to search out the hearts of
all who attend
and shine that Light of the Lord upon them.
Our cast includes Melvin, the Conductor, who’s been
with us for a
long time and reads his Bible daily. Chug, the
Engineer, like us
all, needs guidance from both the Conductor of our
train, and God,
the Conductor of our life. The Brake Man of our train
is Squeaker,
Chug’s adopted little brother. We found him in the
West Virginia
coal mines. Caboose, who is our lost puppet, was found
in the
Colorado Rockies. He was on a dead end track, lying,
cheating and
stealing, and we convinced him to turn away from sin,
join us on our
train and hopefully get saved one day.
We have a work crew that keeps our train maintained
and uplifted.
They’re called the "Prayonettes." How do they do that?
Only one way - by prayer!
We also have a missionary that rides on our train
whenever he’s not
on a mission. He goes by the name of Schieck. He’s a
world traveler
who loves to spread the word. We travel all over West
Texas and do 30 to 90 minute shows. We can do games,
music,
crafts and we love to preach God’s Word. We just love
the Lord and want to be His servant.
You can contact CHUG’s Soul Train at 806.790.4492
and ask for Terry.
Thank you and God Bless!
Puppet Introductions
Prayonettes -
They are our work crew, keeping our train maintained,
running smoothly and always uplifted---you know
how—constant prayer! That’s the smartest work we can
do and thank goodness they do it!
Their prayers are what keeps us running so smooth—it’s
all about the prayer!
Caboose -
He’s our lost puppet. We were heading up north last
year
in the Colorado Rockies and found Caboose heading down
the wrong
track. He was going down a dead end track — a track of
sin. He was lying, cheating, stealing—up to no good!
Well, we all
convinced him to join us on our track and hopefully one day he will
accept the
Lord as his Savior. Y’all help us pray for Caboose!
Squeaker -
He’s our brakeman. He’s actually Chug’s adopted little
brother. We found him at an old coal mine in West
Virginia several
years ago. He was a lost soul and had no where to go.
We stopped for a little prayer maintenance, when he and
Chug hit it off! They became
best friends and Chug invited him to join our crew.
Chug shared the
Gospel with Squeaker and he got saved. A short time
later Chug
decided to adopt Squeaker as his little brother. He’s
a young
Christian and, like us all, trying to stay on the
right track.
Melvin -
Melvin is our conductor. He’s sort of like a prophet
sent
to help lead, guide and direct us. He helps keep us
and our train on
track. Melvin has been with us a long time and he
always seems to
know the right thing to say. He always cares about us
and knows
God’s Word. He’s constantly reading the Bible. What an
AWESOME DUDE!
CHUG -
Chug is our engineer. Chug was one of the first R.A.
boys I
taught 15 years ago at First Baptist in Shallowater. CHUG was saved his first year in R.A.’s at a campout in Meadow Texas. Chug was a neat
little guy but had no ambition in life—never had any
goals and wasn’t going to go to
college. We talked a lot about his life and his
future and I told him he needed to pray about that. During his
senior year in school, Chug was praying to God about
his future and God told him to go to college and do something with
his life. So he
did. After college he became a train engineer and
eventually bought
the Soul Train. Now he just travels around spreading
the Good News
of Jesus Christ and he wants you to come to know Jesus
as well!
Duncan -
Several years ago at R.A. Camp in Floydada, we had a
dunking booth. It was Chug’s turn to be setting in
the booth and this big ole bird kept diving down
knocking Chug into the water. The camp loved it and
Chug hated it. We're not real sure what kind of bird
he is but Terry has adopted him as a mascot for the
Soul Train. Duncan loves it and Chug hates it.
