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?”

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.
