Marion Crew Takes Off

Our mission trip officially begins later today at 1 p.m. when we meet at the church in Marion. We have a 396.5 mile journey ahead of us as we travel to Carterville, Georgia, about an hour north of the airport in Atlanta.

Tonight we stay at the Hampton Inn down there.

The Marion mission team consists of Bob Wagner, our pastor; David Blue, our education minister; plus members Oleta Arnold, Kacy Blumenstock, Alexis Gibbons, Betty Dugger, Adam Harner, Jon Musgrave and Rhonda Woods.

This is David and Kacy's first time on a foreign mission trip. Bob, Oleta and Betty have gone multiple times since the church's first trip to Chernivtsi in 1993. It's my third and it's the second time around for Alexis and Adam who went in 2004 as well as Rhonda who went on one of the trips in the 1990s.

Pray today for a safe trip. Adam is driving the bus.
