What's Happening Now  We are now focusing a great deal more on our aircraft.  There are work parties scheduled nearly every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning, typically from 7-10am.  We are involved in continuing to clean the aircraft along with opening all inspection panels.  We would like to immediately start projects involving the repair of the carburetor on the gas powered air compressor, repairing the gas powered water pump needed for pressure washing, and installing the generator and air compressor into compartments in the shop trailer.  Naturally this means we will need some skilled (and unskilled) volunteers to succeed with these projects, so why not call and make arrangements to come help?

 

 This is also a time in which we are ramping up our efforts to reach churches, mission groups, clubs, foundations  and other organizations to let them know we are here, and that we need their help.  If you know of any group that might like to hear from us, please let us know, as we would love to get a chance to tell them about us.

 

 Our ground transport ministry is currently on hold due to a transmission failure on our F-550 puller truck.  We are currently seeking the funds to effect repair in order that we might go pick up our newly acquired flatbed trailer in Iowa.

 

 What's Coming Up  After our puller truck is repaired (see above) we are going to be seeking ways to serve the Lord via transportation of cargo in support of other ministries.  We currently have requests to bring cargo to an orphanage and clinic in Baja California, Mexico, and also a radio transmitter tower needs to be delivered to a container loading point for delivery to a non-profit Christian broadcasting network in Africa.

 

 In our aircraft ministry we hope to be raising funds to commence engine overhaul on the #4 engine (all other engines have sufficient time left on them to fly the aircraft).  In addition we are going to be completing the inspection process and beginning the process of restoring the aircraft to flying condition.  We thank God for the exciting things we are looking forward to in the months to come, stay tuned to see the miracles continue!

 

Our Current Needs  Our most pressing equipment need is for a gas powered (2500 psi or greater) pressure washer.  We also need a 20 or 40 foot shipping container that we can use for storage and additional shop space.  In addition please be on the lookout for some good used scaffolding, as we will shortly begin work on the flight controls and outer surface of the aircraft.
