Ray and I are currently in Wilson, NC at the AWA head office. We enjoy our time here, working with the staff. When we arrived, it was our intention to stay for a few weeks and then deploy to the next project in Ray's Global profile, the Philippines. We are taking the new missionaries, the [...]
Do you remember in Matthew 22 where Jesus speaks about the wedding feast? Those invited wouldn’t come, too busy, too distracted by life. “Invite them in from the streets and highways so that My house may be full!” went the command (paraphrased). While everyone came and then some turned away because of no wedding garment, [...]
If you haven’t realized by now Ray and I fly quite a bit, you could say we are acquiring “frequent flyer miles”. Last month we wrote about flying across Canada in the Cessna 206 to Oshawa, Sioux Lookout, ON and finally Winnipeg, MB. But do you remember the story in February 2020 of us packing [...]
One of the greatest joys for me is when a precious soul accepts Christ as their God and Savior and follows in His footsteps. Then when that person shares his new beliefs with friends and relatives, my joy is complete! Rolet is a 50-year-old farmer with six children. One of his children was baptized three months [...]
In John 14:18 it states, I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. I will never leave you nor forsake you says the Lord. As my family and I were driving home on the Interstate 95 from Camden, South Carolina to our temporary home in Wilson, North Carolina an 18-wheeler semi- truck hit [...]
What happens when the missionary who does all the medivac work needs a missionary for their medivac needs? It is written in Psalms 34:17, “The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.” And in 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 it says, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do [...]
Our Cessna 172 trainer is a much-needed airplane inside AWA. It helps us train future pilots and helps keep current our active mission pilots. Even though this particular 172 (N75586) is a fairly “new” plane (1976), it is in some dire need of updates as the radios and vacuum driven instruments are starting to fail. [...]
Ray and I love to chat, promoting AWA and sharing the hand of protection. the full braking capacity of the left. many stories of flying and each mission project. “The Lord is merciful!” I agreed. Conditions on the runway could have been far less favourable. One look at the leaking hydraulic fluid revealed the cause. [...]
Narciso, a 70-year-old man, lives in our village of Sagpangan. His father was an Adventist, but Narciso had not followed in his father’s ways. Despite that, he did not forget the beliefs he was brought up in. Whenever a group comes to give him a Bible study, he tells them that he is an Adventist, [...]
As Monique and I stood behind our table at the Swansea Farmers’ Market with AWA information and Christian literature to hand out to customers and passersby, I had a thought. Since that was our first week trying to reach people in the marketplace, it would be best to get to know some of our fellow [...]
