Mexico – November 2021. 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.

Business executive by day. Musician by night. That’s John Cheney.
Please join us at 6:00 pm on November 19 for Lansing Talks to hear the story of how music shaped John’s life.
John’s adoptive-mom fanned the flame of music that still burns today. From the early days of their courtship, Heidi and John discovered they were both adopted as infants and shared similar paths. Both had loving parents who nurtured their spiritual lives and love for music as they grew, and encouraged them to pursue music even into their college years.
In John’s work, in his faith, in his marriage, in his service to others — music underpins it all. Come listen as he plays the songs that influenced his journey, helped him understand the gospel of Jesus Christ, and gave him the assurance to overcome obstacles.
Invite your neighbors who love fine coffee, homemade treats, music, and a captivating story.
