WINTER 2006/2007

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Eph. 3:20, 21

“Do you want an airport?”

While I was under the engine of the motor home changing the fuel filter, my cell phone rang and a voice on the other end asked that question. After taking a few minutes to gather my senses and recover from the initial shock, I had a very interesting discussion with a Christian businessman who had just started the acquisition process for two airports. As much as I would love to get an airport, that does not fall within the scope of this ministry. We discussed possibilities and recommendations for about an hour.

Winter travel in the motor home is challenging to say the least. While we were in Utah, the temperature dropped to 4 degrees one night. It was in the teens for several days. We were stuffing towels and blankets in drafty nooks and crannies throughout the coach. That big windshield radiated a lot of cold air inside. The whole time was a learning experience.

January 17th our second granddaughter was born. To put it the way a Russian Christian translator put it, “She appeared on the 17th.” Mother, daughter, and family are doing well. We praise God for a safe and healthy delivery.

Please continue to pray that our Lord will be pleased to have our house sell. We know that His timing is perfect.

Once again, I received an e-mail requesting information and help as the result of a missionary picking up our card at a church and then giving that card to friends who need help. The prayer cards are turning into our best tool to spread the word about AMI. The request involved a missionary couple serving on a small island approximately 1500 miles from Papua New Guinea.

The web site continues to bring in requests. The latest request came from Mongolia. I thank God for the opportunity to minister to our missionaries on the far out front lines.

Several evangelists have had their sending churches agree to provide the air ambulance coverage available under AMI through the partnership with MedJetAssist. This was much needed in a couple cases due to preexistent medical conditions.

My schedule for this year is starting to fill slowly but surely. We thank God for the opportunities to minister for Him on the deputation trail. The churches have been a blessing to us and we have enjoyed the tremendous fellowship with some of God’s finest saints. Please pray with us that God will raise the rest of our support so that we may become full time and expand the scope of coverage for aviation support of our missionaries.
