Mission on the Move, or "MOM," was founded in 1986 by Rev. Ed. Cadle, Sr. Brother Ed served as pastor in the United Methodist Church for 37 years. After four years as the Pastor of First Methodist in Swainsboro, he retired in June 1985.

Mission on the Move is an approved Advance Special of the South Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. For twenty years, Mission on the Move has followed the Command of Christ, "Go," feeding, clothing, giving dental and medical care, and refuge to deserted, abused or neglected children.

Over the years, MOM has donated six mobile clinics, two trucks, and one motor home to other mission organizations in Latin America, as well as two buses to other missions in the United States. In this same period, we have sent several hundred short-time mission team members, including doctors, nurses, physician assistants, surgeons, pharmacists, and other medical personnel into Latin America.

MOM has shipped many thousands of tons of beans, rice, clothing and medicine. We have provided a number of scholarships to junior high and high school students in Honduras and we have helped two college students from Honduras to study in the United States. Presently, we are supporting one college student in Mexico.

MOM has responded to natural disasters in the United States as well. Recently, we sent two 48 ft tractor trailer loads of supplies to Van Cleave and Wade, Mississippi. These supplies included lawn mowers, chain saws, sheets, towels, Jockey underwear, and water, along with a $6,000 donation.

Mission on the Move is non-denominational in it's make-up with board members from several states and several different Evangelical Christian churches.
