From Jan. 16 - 25, a group of Fayette County citizens joined with others on a trip to the Holy Land. For many, this was a once-in-a-lifetime trip. For the trip’s host, Fayette County Baptist Director John Killian, this was his seventh trip, and his wife, Jeanie’s, fourth pilgrimage.

Several Fayette County residents recently enjoyed what for many was a “trip of a lifetime” when they ventured overseas to tour the Holy Land. The trip was organized by Fayette County Baptist Association Director John Killian, and consisted of approximately 30 people, with almost all of the travelers being residents of Fayette County and the surrounding area. Some of the local residents making the trip, many for their first time, were: Jerry Robertson, Kathy Carroll, Barbara Wright, Fayette Mayor Ray Nelson, Jody Taylor, Daniel Smith, Stacy Bennett and Emily Bennett.
