Van Dwelling For Christ Tips


Welcome to our page ....
 Brother Tupos and Sister Aman

We are years into our full time van dwelling life as we travel and preach Christ crucified all over America. This page will point you to a biblical van dwelling life via the gospel to eternal 
life: https://www.dontperish.com/the-gospel.html  




Here is a link of our van dwelling life update posts: 

All future van dwelling tips/updates will be posted here:

As a traveling van dwelling / street preacher (with his wife) I get a lot of questions about living in a van. (we sold off all we owned even our Missouri homestead) and are a "self funded" full time traveling ministry) We decided vs answering the questions MANY times over and over; we will place links online to inform and edify anyone interested in this awesome life. To help others, we will be placing many links over time with tips from our experiences to encourage those saints interested in getting started in the simple van dwelling life for God's glory. 

Below I will deal with the main issues of why, who and how to get into this life, starting, set up and living in a van such as the basics, wisdom, to do, helpful hints, experiences, not to do's and such. 
Note: Sister Debbie will soon place links here that cover issues that a "keeper of the van" will face like food, organizing, tips, cleaning etc.  

Notice: van dwelling is very different then RV life. 



Van dwelling is about small/simple and has few comforts of a RV like kitchens, full bathrooms, living rooms etc.  Here is a article about RV life that may interest families who need more room then just a van: https://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2020/03/fulltime-rv-life-for-families.html
