Up next was South Carolina where they spend some time with the people at Lakeshore Christian Fellowship in Tega Cay. They enjoyed the church picnic where they had fellowship and a time of water baptism in Lake Wylie.

Duane caught the big one!

At Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, MO

All in a day's work!

In a few short days the Maniac4Missions team has traveled all the way from Dallas and arriving in Illinois tonight. In Dallas, the church actually let the Maniac ride IN the church!
Next up, had a great time with Pastors Ken and Pam Wold and the congregation of Livingway Foursquare Church in Little Rock, Arkansas. When leaving Little Rock, the crew had to gear up for the heavy rains they expected to encounter on their way to Springfield, MO. Thanks to everyone who prayed; they made it safely to Grace Chapel Church! This was a treat because John pastored this church for 6 years-- it was a great visit, they are on fire for missions!
