The Great Need We are at home in Kentucky as I write this report. We’re fresh from our three month pre-deployment trip. When I first heard our family would be in Nicaragua for three months, I was somewhat surprised. I thought it was kind of long for a survey trip. But as I spent [...]
We had a visit from an inspector that works for the aviation administration here in Nicaragua. It’s been a struggle to get traction with permission to fly the AWA plane here in Nicaragua. Some changes had taken place since the last time permission to fly had been sought. Mainly, renewal of this permission needs to [...]
I’m sitting here in the mission truck in front of a hospital in a little town called Waspan, Nicaragua. I took a lady and two girls to see the doctor. We’re about 35 minutes from the AWA base. It’s nice to have the faithful Hilux pickup for these short trips. It has served the base [...]
We are in Nicaragua! I’m writing this in the warm, sunny capital city of Nicaragua, called Managua. We have been here three days. Already we have seen God’s providences. As most of you know, this trip was delayed for about six months due to the coronavirus. Let me share a little bit of what it [...]
Ray and I, along with the Fix family; Josh, Yosiday and their two sweet young boys, Caleb and Issac, are gearing up to fly to Nicaragua. Planning this trip during COVID19 has been met with multiple challenges and delays. Some of our team had the virus and needed time to recover. We trust the Lord [...]

This last month has been a whirlwind of activity. We were not only in Pensacola, FL as I was working on hurricane cleanup, but within that trip I went to Atlanta with a knuckle-boom crane truck equipped with a grapple-saw to help remove trees from houses. About a week and a half into our stay [...]
At times discouragement has a way of settling into our lives. When things are delayed, as in the plans for our survey trip to Nicaragua, it can cause doubt and confusion. I have struggled with these things at times as we have been planning on going into the mission field for quite a while. God [...]
Hello AWA friends and family, How’s it going with you? I hope this Mission Project Update finds you in good health and praising God for what He’s done in your life. I’m sitting on my couch with my laptop and my oldest son, Caleb, typing this letter as the rain falls gently on the roof. [...]
Hello friends, I’m here relaxing after a long day of working at the AWA hanger. We’re here in North Carolina where AWA is headquartered. I’ve been working alongside Kyle Stevenson, AWA’s chief mechanic, and have been appreciating his many years of experience as I can ask him questions and he can go behind me and [...]
