Yes, we attended church but not the correct churches. I married my wife in 2008 and moved to Michigan where I started attending Berean Baptist of Adrian MI. At first, I was called to drive the bus. After a few years, the Lord put it on my heart to volunteer to work on our buses. Out of that, I met Warren Storm with Keep the Buses Ministry. The Lord has put it on my heart to start this ministry and
help the churches within 2 hours of Adrian MI. I was saved at the age of 31 when the Lord told me I wasn't. My name is Mary Marine. I am the wife of Shawn and we have 4 daughters, Sarah, Savanah, Starla, and Skylar. I want to tell you about my testimony. I grew up riding the bus to church. One day when I was in 3rd grade a friend asked me if I wanted to ride the bus to church with her. After that first day, I was hooked. I was the only one out of my family that would go. I came to church anytime the bus would pick me up. As I grew older, I began to understand more about who Jesus was. On January 13, 2002, I accepted Jesus as my personal savior. Just after I got saved, my parents divorced and my mom left. I was bitter for a long time but grew to understand and God gave me peace. I went to 3 different schools, 2 public and the last for 11th and 12th grade I went to Berean Baptist Academy, the church's school. I did not end up going to college. I went down to visit my mom in Mississippi. While in Mississippi I became backsliding and in the wrong crowd. As I was getting back into church, I met Shawn (ask us about the story and we would love to tell you). We have been together (as of 2023) for 15 years. In the last couple of years, God has really taken the direction of our family and we have done "a 180⁰ turn". Shawn has had 3 or 4 back surgeries, 2 hip surgeries, and a few others in the last 5 to 6 years. We have had our ups and downs BUT God has ALWAYS provided for us. I am over the puppet ministry at our home church, I love working with the teenagers, the nursery, the fair ministry and so much more. Where we didn't think we had a direction to go and were just workers in the church, to we now know what God wants us to do. If you are looking to start a bus ministry or puppet ministry we would love to come to help you get it started. If you need buses worked on or fixed. We are here to serve your needs by working on your buses, finding you buses, helping around the church, or you just need help. If you have questions please ask. We would love to answer your questions.
