THE "ADVENTURE" CONTINUES.....JULY 2016A

8-1-16 Monday 7:37 AM (Eastern U.S. Time) - Cocoa, FL - Air Mobile Home Base - Report submitted by:  Air Mobile Joe

WHERE TO??

 It is such a joy to minister in the Hospital in Orlando.  Yesterday, our Air Mobile team conducted 3 services and in each one, souls turned to Jesus for salvation.  Wow, what a blessing!

As we await our "next assignment", it's good to know that the fields are "white unto harvest" right here at home.  One doesn't need to travel to another country to see our Lord move in the lives of those who need Him (we ALL need the Lord!).

After our services at the Hospital, Cindy, Ari and I visited our good friends, Aaron and Lara.  Dr. Aaron has joined us on numerous missions to the Philippines and Nepal.  He's a true trooper and it's good having a great Doc travel with you!!

Just noticed a massive storm forming right over Haiti.  It will likely become a Tropical Storm and slam into Mexico.  

The folks in Haiti are getting much needed rain, but we pray that they don't get too much rain!  Glad I'm not flying to Haiti today.

So, as we enter into this Monday, we PRAY for our Lord to direct our path and lead us exactly where He wants us to go.  

We'll likely be taking the Little Donkey up for engine break-in flights later this week.  Time to head out into this day. 

As I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

FORMULA "TRAIN" & JUMP FROM 25,000' "WITHOUT" A PARACHUTE!!

While the Little Donkey is being given a "Fresh Front Engine", the need for baby formula in Haiti goes on. 

One of our excellent "Water Mules", Mark, along with his 2 daughters met me at the hangar yesterday. 

Mark will be leading a team to Haiti soon and offered to form a "formula train to fill in the gap" until we get the Little Donkey back in the air.

I never cease to marvel at how our Lord provides a way.  His eye is on the sparrow and....on those precious orphans in Haiti!

Speaking of "Sparrows....falling to the ground" (Matthew 10:29), a very brave and skilled parachutist jumped from 25,000' yesterday WITHOUT a parachute and....

He landed safely (in a net).  All I can say is WOW! History was made.  Here's the incredible story and the footage of his actual jump.  SKYDIVER JUMPS FROM 25,000' "WITHOUT" A PARACHUTE & LANDS IN A NET!  

So, on this beautiful (but rather warm) Sunday morning, it's time for us to go to Church and then to the Hospital  in Orlando, to tell the patients how precious they are and that truly, "His Eye is on the Sparrow and we know he's watching us"!

Thank you, as always, for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

BEWARE & PREPARE FOR ZIKA

I'm sure you've all heard of the Zika Virus.  Well, the first wave of Zika has hit our shores in Miami.  Here's a very comprehensive "history" of this dreadful virus. ZIKA CASES LIKELY TRANSMITTED LOCALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME OFFICIALS SAY

Cindy and I are following this closely for many reasons, but mainly because Miami is in our "backyard" (only 200 miles south of us).

We've traveled the world and know how deadly mosquitoes can be.  I've had "Cerebral Malaria" (quite often fatal) and have been "fighting" mosquitoes for a long time.

Now, here's another great article giving some good tips about how to prepare and protect yourself from mosquitoes. 

 Take a moment and read it, as it will help you to "defend yourself" against these "air-borne enemies".  ZIKA ARRIVES IN U.S. - HERE'S HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

Yesterday, had a real surprise when Gary (AKA - Gary Tennis Balls) brought another good load of baby food and formula....and slightly used tennis balls for the kids in Haiti.

He brought Ron Evers with him.  Ron flew Air Tankers for the Air Force.  He also flew so many cool planes during his illustrious career.  The list ranged from the P-51 Mustang to the KC97 Globemaster and the KC135 and dozens more.

I'm very glad that Peter, who is in intense flight training, was able to meet Ron and hear some of his stories.

I can assure you, this will not be the last time we meet with Ron.  He's got a lot more stories and "wisdom" to impart to us!!

Yes, it was a very good day at the old Hangar.  BTW, the Little Donkey is getting closer and closer to the "break-in" flights.

So, today, we'll be keeping an eye out for mosquitoes and getting ready for the "next mission".

THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

STAY THE COURSE....

Here in America, it's Official....It's Trump against Hillary.  The best thing Cindy and I can do is PRAY for our Lord's will to be done!  That's the best course of all!!

Meanwhile, we're working hard each day to do what He wants us to do, when He wants us to do it.  

There are many things in this life that we have little or no control over.  Of course, PRAYER is always the best course and the Bible tells us to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!

Because of the direction of our country and the events happening around the world, sometimes....it's difficult to "REJOICE ALWAYS".

Never the less, that is what the Word of God tells us to do.  See, that's why we need to immerse our selves in the Word to give us direction and hope.

Paul, our faithful mechanic, is steadily putting the Little Donkey back together.  We now have a "fresh front engine" and soon, we'll be taking it up for test and break-in flights.

And, this morning, I'll be meeting Gary, a wonderful water (and baby formula) mule.  He has been diligently searching for supplies for the orphans in Haiti.  

We're so THANKFUL for our volunteers!  God has blessed Air Mobile.

Time to head to the airport and.....STAY THE COURSE!  As always, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

IN A SWIRL OF "POLITICS".....SUDDENLY THE HOUSE RUMBLED

If one closes ones eyes and just listens to the "Political Speeches", it appears that life is good and getting better here in America.  I do like what Bill Murray said....  

Do you know what Cindy and I are doing?  We're letting the Word of God just flow through our hearts to keep us on the "reality" train.  

Folks, we encourage you to balance what you hear in the speeches with the Word of God!

I'm THANKFUL that my son, Christian, told me about "YouVersion".  This is a FREE APP that brings the Word of God closer to home.

The Audio function is FANTASTIC!  Before we go to bed, we just let it "play" at whatever Book in the Bible that we want to hear.

When we wake up, BEFORE we get that "first cup", we let it play a bit and....the coffee tastes even better!!

BTW, YouVersion DID NOT pay me to say this.  I just love the APP!!

Speaking of coffee, Cindy and I were just sitting here, having that delicious cup of coffee and talking about the Word of God and what a blessing YouVersion is when, the house began to shake and we heard that familiar rumble of....a rocket launch.

I ran out and captured the "contrail" as the rocket disappeared into the beautiful sunrise.  Ahhh, one of the features of living on the Space Coast.

The powerful Atlas V launched an NRO Spy Satellite as we sipped.

Well, back to all the "Politics" going on in America.  There are a lot of "PROMISES" that are made.  Rarely, do they come to pass.  Also, a lot "Pictures" are painted that are incredibly distorted.

So....what can we do?   We can PRAY and ask our Lord to Open our eyes to the truth and seek to be obedient and do what He wants us to do when He wants us to do it.

May we encourage you to spend even a bit more time in the Word of God to hear what God is saying!  Believe me, we need to hear His voice.

It's time to head out into this beautiful day and see where He leads.  THANK YOU for your greatly appreciated prayer, love and support.

PS - Thanks Larry (you know who you are), for pointing out that I messed up on the date in yesterday's blog.  I fixed it.  Thanks for paying attention!  Joe

ON THE WAY TO THE INTERVIEW.....

While driving to the radio (WPIO) interview, my phone rang.  It was Kim, the Director of B.E.T.A. Crisis Pregnancy Center. 

 Kim had recently heard of Air Mobile and had formula and baby food for the Haiti orphans.  

I asked for directions and found out that B.E.T.A. was less than a block from the radio station (WPIO).  

Sometimes, I just smile at how our Lord puts things together!  HIS timing is perfect!!

Kim began B.E.T.A. in 2000 and has helped to save so many babies and ministered to many, many young mothers.  

What a blessing to meet her and see her wonderful operation. 

And....now, Air Mobile will receive all of her excess formula and baby food.  Praise God!!

BTW, the Radio Interview with Donna and Carol ("Light Talk with Donna and Friends") was a real delight.  

These ladies of God have been a true beacon of God's love and light in our community for many years.  We're blessed to know them!

Later in the afternoon, I met up with Cindy and Ari and they helped me unload the "treasures" for the Haitian orphans in the hangar next to the Little Donkey.

Oh, THANKS again for your prayer for my healing.  I feel just fine. The "rest" did me a lot of good.

And, as I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

RELEASED

The rest truly did me good and most of the symptoms are gone.  Definitely doing much better.  THANKS for your prayer!!  Time to get back to work today.

My first stop will be at the airport to see how Paul, our mechanic, is doing with the Little Donkey.  

We should be ready for some "break-in" flights later this week.  So glad to be getting that bird back in the air!

From the airport, it'll be on to our local Christian Radio station (WPIO - 89.3) where I'll be interviewed by our good friend, Donna Long (Noon to 1:00pm ET).

Cindy and I have known Donna for over 25 years.  It's always a joy to be on her show.  Will be sharing about the recent OPEN DOORS into prisons in Haiti.

Cindy was the Head Nurse at the Brevard Detention Center for several years and, as you may know, we've been Chaplains at the Psychiatric Hospital in Orlando for over 18 years.  We have a heart for those who are...in prison.

So does our Lord.  He reminds us...."I was in Prison and you visited Me".  Over the years, we've found that when folks are in jail (or a lock-down hospital), they are generally searching for answers. 

BTW, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to work together with us in this ministry.  That is another reason why I'm thankful to be going on Donna's Radio show today.  Will be RECRUITING for our prison ministry here at home and abroad. 

Folks, I cannot give specifics (because of Confidentiality Rules), however, nearly every Sunday, we see souls saved.  Truly, the "Fields are white unto harvest....but the laborers are few"!

JESUS HAS COME TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE!! 

If you would like to Volunteer, please let us know and we'll find a place for you in this Harvest!!

Above all, we so appreciate your prayer, love and support!  These are such a vital ingredients in all that we do!

If you'd like to know how you can help, please call me at:  1-321-544-7757 or e-mail us at:  airmobilejoe@gmail.com .  Would love to hear from you!!

FEELING MUCH BETTER &....CINDY & ARI ARE HOME!!  CORONATION DISRUPTED AS DNC "BOOTS" DEBBIE

First of all, THANK YOU for your prayers!  I'm feeling much better and looks like whatever took me down is leaving.  I'll stay down for another day to allow it to fully depart.

Late last night, Cindy and Ari arrived home after spending a glorious week at Glacier National Park hiking and enjoying God's creation "up close"!  It's so good having them home!!

The "Political Pot" is certainly brewing here in America!  Yesterday, the Head of the DNC (Democratic National Committee), Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned following another huge E-Mail scandal!

It is apparent that Schultz and other DNC Executives have been "tipping" the scales (quite aggressively) toward making Hillary Clinton the Democratic Nominee.

This is a clear violation of the rules and has "disenfranchised" millions of voters!!

Bernie Sanders' voters ARE NOT HAPPY!  This is turning into a real disaster for the Democratic Party.  We will see what happens today.

One thing is for sure, it's not a good way to start the Democratic National Convention!!  Here's more - DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY 

So, today, I'll hang around the house and take it easy and watch a bit of news to see how the DNC handles this latest scandal.  And yes, I'll be praying for our Lord's will to be done!!

As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!
