"People were coming out of their houses in their Pj's and with no shoes on to get to the gas station," recalls Tony Whittingham, an elder at the church.
While a mile-long procession of vehicles waited for a turn at the pump, members of the church used the opportunity to spread the message.
"When they got there, we talked to them about what Christ can do in your life: It was soft evangelism," Whittingham says.
