People ask me why do I keep going back to the same place. To a great extent it's the people. I've spent more time with some of my interpreters and drivers over there than I've seen some of my relatives here in Southern Illinois over the last few years.
This will be my four mission trip with the church to Chernivtsi, my fifth trip overall to the city and my sixth to Ukraine, counting a trip with the People to People Ambassador program when I was in high school.
Here's a slide show of some of the people that we've met, got to know and learned to love.
Since 1993, members of Second Baptist Church of Marion, Illinois, have joined with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to spread the gospel in Chernivtsi, Ukraine and surrounding parts. Other churches have joined the effort including First Baptist Church of DuQuoin, Illinois. The 2012 mission trip starts July 11 with the group's return on July 22.
