On Saturday November 3 at 4:00 pm, Mark and Ginger Whitacre (markwhitacre.com) will present the first in our series of community-oriented events called “Lansing Talks.” These are opportunities for our church and community to hear intriguing stories of unique challenges from people of faith in the public spotlight.
Mark Whitacre was played by Matt Damon in the Hollywood movie “The Informant” which loosely told the story of his life before he came to Christ. As a result of participating in an international price fixing scheme with Archer Daniels Midland and embezzling 9 Million dollars, he served 9 years in prison.
Thanks to their faith in Christ, and mentorship by Chuck Colson, their marriage survived. Come hear their story and have the opportunity to share in a meaningful conversation with your friends by simply asking “What did you think?”
Mexico – November 2018 This group of High School, College and Adult individuals travel to Mexico each year during Thanksgiving week. Mexico Caravan Ministries is a missions mobilization ministry hosting short term, home-building mission trips in Tijuana. Most of what they do involves construction – may include building 12′ x 12′ shelters for those who don’t have adequate housing, putting on roofs, laying cement, etc. Large group teaching times are planned with a strong focus on missions – a whole new understanding of the Great Commission, the 10/40 window and what their responsibility is in fulfilling it. Sign up will begin this summer.
