Blessed doing His work

The Lord is good and has been blessing the work we’ve been doing. The 172 engine has been removed and found that the camshaft intake lobes were wearing badly. It was placed on David Gates airplane and flown back to the states. The Maule cylinder was replaced and magneto cleaned so now its operational, and N5150U received civil aviation authority to fly in country for 6 months. We have been getting up at 4-5am and retire around 11pm. Lots has been accomplished in very short order.

We’ve just returned from Southern Guyana where N5150U was used for its first medical missionary flight. A snakebite victim was airlifted out of the village of Shea and transported to a hospital in Letham. This was the only airplane in the region that was available and flying.

Yesterday, we helped a Christian family in Letham fix their Cessna 206 where the nose gear bolt sheared off and caused the nose gear to partially collapse. So, it was out of commission to make the flight.

Since the 206 will be down for repairs and then will go into annual, Gary said we should serve the area and become known for medical flights. This will show the people we are here to help and then they will be more open to hear the gospel.

So, Gary asked me to head back to the states hopefully on Sunday to get a 182 that is being purchased and fly it back down. The key is to get it down here right away because the rainy season is coming. The 172RG has small tires and cannot go into some of the airstrips once the rains soften the ground.

Thank you for your prayers, the Lord is answering them and has kept us safe, well, and fully fed.

We are truly blessed in doing His work.
