Please Notice: Due to illness, this event will be postponed!
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?”
