A Life on the Road. A Ministry on the Move. A Story Guided by Faith.

For going on fifty years, Mike Manganello has lived a calling that unfolded one mile at a time. From his early days with Wandering Wheels to co-founding Lightrider Ministries, he launched a mobile retreat fellowship that carried thousands of people millions of miles, including more than 11,000 travelers aboard Lightrider's distinctive double-decker motor coaches. What began as a simple step of obedience became a continent-wide ministry shaped by providence, perseverance, and the unmistakable hand of God.

In Adventures in Christian Fellowship: The Lightrider Story, Manganello shares the remarkable accounts that could only come from the driver's seat of a ministry on wheels. He tells of provision that arrived at the exact moment of need, narrow escapes that defied explanation, and lives touched in ways no itinerary could predict. What others might call coincidence, he recognizes as the Lord's intervention-time and again, mile after mile.

Told with the clarity and candor of an American bus driver who has seen this nation from coast to coast and into Canada, this narrative integrates personal testimony, ministry history, and reflections on God's grace that sustained every journey. It is a tribute to God, His Word, and to the volunteers, donors, and churches that believed in the vision. It is a testament to what can happen when someone says yes to God's call, even when the details are uncertain-mindful that, as Coach Bob Davenport frequently said, "Success is the journey, not the destination."

Richly illustrated with photographs spanning decades, this book invites readers to witness grace in motion and discover a ministry that proved: When God calls you forward, He provides for every mile. God is the Pilot, we are the co-pilot . . .
