5th Wheel Media
“(Publish or Perish)”
Donald Sutherland - can’t recall the movie but never forgot the line.
People want to be involved with something bigger than themselves. Trucks are big, trucking is big and everything about this ministry will reflect the bigness of the industry it serves. Let’s put it in the wind …… on paper …. and on the air!

TO MARKET THE MINISTRY SERVICES AND MERCHANDISE
The greatest story ever told is still being told in the lives of people all over the world, many in the transport industry. Utilizing every available technology, 5th Wheel Media will be responsible for all multimedia, online and electronic communications - as well as production of Diesel & Destiny, the TV Show & the Magazine of the same name. With their life at the coalface format they are also designed to be evangelism tools; equally as appealing to the Christian and non Christians alike. They will help raise awareness, expand our partnership and prayer support nationally and internationally. We must do all we can to harness prayer support from the church at large.
Internationally, we already have a guarantee of national broadcast in Australia with the Australian Christian Channel and promotion on Vision FM radio @ 415 stations around Australia.
Our media ministry is not about a single entity - i.e. John Doe Ministries with John’s face on every page. That’s not to say it won’t have recognizable faces or characters, but it’s focus will be telling stories of changed lives. Real people with real problems and solutions; real dreams and victories and the encounter with God that facilitated it all.

“Because people are fascinated by people” …
CEO of OPTUS VISION speaking to a Christian forum about the grab of most popular shows.
THE TV SHOW
The show will have a variety format with something for the whole family. Professionally produced with a “common man” feel, it will be filmed on the road, encompassing “all things trucking” (and some things that aren’t ) and will provide most of the content for the magazine.
We envision in the future to have a separate, more locally focused show just filmed in and around the 5th Wheel Worship Centre.
To be broadcast via the internet. With thousands of truckers coming and going daily, there is bound to be any number of stories and characters walking through our doors. Broadcasting options may include video streaming via internet into truck stops and cable.
​
THE MAGAZINE
A quality gloss publication with an online version loaded with visual images and regular departments as well as features, it will be attractive to the eye and stimulating to the heart and mind. We hope it will be something folks will not be hesitant to pass on or encourage others to read. Much of the content will be taken from our TV show of the same name but, print will enable extra detail or a different lean on the story so it will not be identical. Binder sets will be available to add value and ensure a longer reading life per issue. Monthly bulk orders will be encouraged and heavily promoted among our partners and other churches to be used as a ministry tool and give away.
