March 2008

It looked like sunrise at 2:28am over Titusville , FL. It looked like the sun, but it was the space shuttle Endeavor launching. We spent Monday at the Kennedy Space Center where the kids (and Papa) enjoyed all the rockets and learned about the shuttle launch in the morning. Almost wasn't able to drag them out of bed.

This past Wednesday we had a great time in the AWANA club at New Life Baptist Church in Auburndale , FL. We were given double the normal devotional time and all the class time as well. Katrina answered all the girls' questions while I stayed with the guys. They even eliminated the game time so we'd have more time to speak. May God call some future missionaries from this group. Next week I'll be speaking to a youth group of about 50, including many unchurched kids.

Thank you for praying for us. Please do continue. Pray as we secure meetings to present the ministry. Pray that more laborers would be called to the harvest. Pray that the needed amount of financial support would come in. Pray for safety in some specialized flight training I'm doing now.

Please also pray for the Amazon aviation program. Both airplanes have been tied up for over a year in procedural red tape. The major maintenance on one airplane has been completed and it is enduring legal hoop-jumping while awaiting an official government inspection. Meanwhile, all the down time may have been too hard on the engine (the worst thing you can do to an airplane engine is not fly it and especially leave it in Amazon weather conditions). The other airplane is next in line for a major rebuild.

Michael
