A QUIET SUNDAY....

Having delivered critical medical supplies to Haiti for the RAM (Remote Area Medical) Medical Team, it's time for some good rest before....heading to India.  

BTW, I'm so THANKFUL to RAM for allowing me to train on the flight to Haiti in the Cessna Caravan.  What an amazing airplane!!  

I was able to log nearly 16 hours of intense training, flying in the left seat.  Ron Adams, Chief Pilot for RAM, is a patient and thorough instructor.  THANKS RON!!  

So, on this beautiful Sunday, Cindy and I and our Air Mobile Team will head to the hospital, as we've done for the last 21 years and bring the Good News of Jesus to those who are suffering.  

We're also keeping an eye on the tropics.  We may have some stormy weather ahead.  

Ron and I actually flew by that weather on our way back from Haiti.  We could see it building and again, our Lord made a way for us....around it.  

Here's more on those "disturbances" - TROPICAL DISTURBANCE IN BAHAMAS TO BE MONITORED IN EARLY WEEK - TROPICAL STORM FLORENCE TRACKING FROM CAPE VERDE  

Time to head to church and then to the Hospital.  THANK YOU, as always, for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

MISSION (TO HAITI) ACCOMPLISHED...

With our Lord's help and grace, Ron Adams and I were able to deliver critical medical supplies and equipment to Haiti....in advance of a Remote Area Medical (RAM)  Team.  

The RAM Cessna Caravan flew beautifully and Ron did a great job of teaching me the systems on this great bird.  

Yesterday morning, we fueled the Caravan and flew back to the U.S.

The flight (and training) went beautifully.  After flying nearly 16 hours and making multiple take-off & landings, I realize just what a wonderful aircraft the Cessna Caravan is.   

Had some weather to work around, with the usual afternoon build-ups, but again, our Lord made a beautiful way for us back to Florida.  

Ron dropped me in Titusville and flew the Caravan back to the RAM home base in Knoxville.  

Regarding this phase of the RAM Medical Outreach to Haiti, we can say.... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!  

Now that I'm back in the U.S., it's time to continue the planning for our "Next Mission....to India".  

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

A SLOW FLIGHT IN AN OLD CARAVAN  

Ron Adams, Chief Pilot for Remote Area Medical and I flew from Knoxville, TN to Titusville, FL then to Haiti. 

It was a slow (10.5 hours) and delicate journey with headwinds and weaving around thunderstorms.  

Our average speed was about 135 knots....ugh. 

Our "Mission":  Deliver critical medical supplies and equipment for a Medical Team that will be working in Haiti.  

I just love the Caribbean sunrises.  The beauty and wonder of this spectacular sea and golden, glorious sunrises...never gets old.  

Upon landing, by God's Amazing Grace, all of the supplies were cleared and delivered and will be awaiting the Medical Team that will be arriving in the near future.  PRAISE GOD!  

Stan Brock would be pleased!!  The sad news of Stan's passing came as we were loading and preparing the Caravan for the "Mission to Haiti".  

The words of Stan were in our minds...."Never forget the Mission".  We'll sure miss Stan!!!

Up early today and have a series of meetings here in Haiti.  Praying for wisdom and protection.  THANK YOU, as always, for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

STAN BROCK 1936 - 2018 

A great man with huge heart and the courage of a lion has passed away.  We will all miss Stan.  

I had the privilege to have been with Stan just hours before he left this earth.  

There is so much that could be said about Stan....here's more - REMEMBERING STAN BROCK  

Stan would always say..."Never forget the mission".  

So, this morning, I'll be joined by my good friend and fellow pilot, Ron Adams, and we'll be flying a RAM load of critical medical supplies to an area of desperate need.  Stan would be pleased.  

I'm very sad at this time, but there's no time to cry.  Must get on with "The Mission".  Time to head to the airport.

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

ARRIVE:  RAM HQ

Had an on-time flight from Orlando to Knoxville.  Thank you, Allegiant.  

I never cease to marvel at the scope and outreach of Remote Area Medical (RAM). 

 I'm so THANKFUL to our Lord for having our paths cross and connect in Haiti following the terrible earthquake of 2010.  

We're currently working together on a medical outreach into Haiti.  

And...it just so happens that I can get in some vital flight training on the Cessna Caravan before we launch our "Mission to India".  

It's time to head to the airport and get in the cockpit of the RAM Caravan and learn those systems.  

I know that I say this every single day, but I mean it with all of my heart....THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

BACK TO KNOXVILLE....

Today, I'll be flying Allegiant Airlines to Knoxville, TN.  The flight time is 1.5 hours as opposed to a 12 hour drive.  It's nice to be able to fly!!    

Will be able to continue my flight training in the RAM Cessna Caravan.  I'm going from the "books" to actually sitting in the cockpit and learning the systems. 

I'm extremely appreciative to RAM for giving me this opportunity.  We'll be able to "share" the Caravan while the Little Donkey is getting that much needed replacement engine.  

While in Knoxville, I'll be able to check in with my dear friend  who is quite ill.  THANK YOU for your prayers for my friend.  

On another front, was able to submit all of the information for the Visa for India.  We're moving ahead toward launching our Mission to India.  Southern India has been devastated by the worst flooding in over 100 years.

Also received good news from Missionary Gene Rumley that all of the funding for 6 Air Mobile Rescuers came in.  PRAISE GOD!!

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

PRESSING ON....

Hitting Monday morning at full speed!  Processing Visas for India and preparing Air Mobile Rescuers for deployment.

Working on squeezing in Studying / Training on the Cessna Caravan before our journey to India.  

I'm so thankful to Remote Area Medical (RAM) for giving me this opportunity!!! 

With our Lord's help, will get it all done.  

So, it's time to head out the door to meet a Doctor turned "Water Mule".  I met Dr. Glass on  St. Maarten Island following Hurricane Irma and just before Hurricane Maria hit.  He's in town and it'll be good to catch up with him. 

Where would we be without so many helping us??  And that brings me to you, who follow us on this winding road.  THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!!

FAREWELL JOHN McCAIN 1936 - 2018

What an American Hero!  We will certainly miss this amazing man of incredible courage and loyalty.  

He was known as the "Maverick" and he certainly lived up to that title.  He was a man of deep convictions.   

Here is John McCain's Epitaph:

We're awaiting the final cost for the rear engine for Little Donkey from Continental.  We expect to hear back from them soon.  

In the meantime, our dear friends at Remote Area Medical (RAM)  are allowing me to get trained and checked out in their Cessna Caravan!  

For now, I'm studying the manuals and next week will travel back to Knoxville to actually fly this great bird.

So, on this beautiful Saturday, I'm learning how to start a PT-6 Turbine.  God is good!!

DETAILS...DETAILS  

Putting a "Mission" together requires many, many details.  We're preparing to go to Southern India with at least 6 Air Mobile Rescuers and maybe more!  

In the meantime, we're tracking Hurricane Lane that is lashing Hawaii as I type.  They may receive as much as 40" of rain!  WOW, that will do a lot of damage.  WE PRAY!  

Here's more - FLOOD DISASTER FROM POTENTIALLY 40" OF RAIN!! 

We're also tracking a critical situation in Haiti that may require immediate attention.  Can't give any details at this time.  

Folks, sometimes things come at us very fast and we need extraordinary wisdom to know which way to go.  

PLEASE join together with us in prayer that our Lord will guide us each step of the way!!  

Well, I better pour another cup of coffee and tear into the many details of this day!!  

As always, and I mean this with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

MOVING TOWARD INDIA.... 

Had a wonderful meeting yesterday with Gene Rumley of Mission4Orphans yesterday.  

Gene and his wife, Arlene have been working in India since 2004 and have an amazing mission to orphans.  

Here is the link to their website.  We love these guys!!  http://mission4orphans.com/  

Their Orphanage was inundated in the worst flooding in 100 years in Southern India.  Of course, the need for clean water is paramount.  

I'm very pleased to say that Mission4Orphans will be funding at least 4 Air Mobile Rescuers and perhaps 6.  

This will be a tremendous blessing to all in the community where their orphanage is located.  PRAISE GOD!!  

We plan to travel back to India with Gene in the near future.  For now, we're processing Visas and seeking good airfare rates.  

BTW, Mark Polozola, the son of the man (Joe) that introduced me to Jesus 46 years ago, connected us together with Gene and Arlene.  Mark will be joining on the Mission to India.  THANK YOU, MARK!!  

THANK YOU for your faithful prayers for my friend.  He is stable and there is very slight improvement.  We're standing for a MIRACLE!!

Today, we're busy taking care of all of the details for our "Next Mission".

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

BACK IN FLORIDA....PREPARING FOR THE "NEXT MISSION"  

THANK YOU for your prayers.  Had a long, but uneventful trip back to Florida.  

Have come back to a whirlwind of activity.  Will be meeting a Veteran Missionary to India later today.  

We'll be going over the plans for a possible rescue mission to India following the worst flooding in over 100 years.  

Here's a video telling the dreadful situation there - HUNDREDS KILLED BY THE WORST FLOODING IN OVER 100 YEARS IN SOUTHERN INDIA  

There are so many urgent needs around the world.  We seek our Lord's wisdom and direction to know which "battles" we should engage in.

  

THANK YOU for your prayers for my dear friend.  I'm very happy to report that his condition is stable and we're seeing a very slight improvement but....he has a long way to go.  

Please continue to pray for my friend!  THANKS!!  

Also,  I ask for your prayers for strength and healing.  I'm feeling a bit "under the weather" following that 12 hour journey.

My time here at the Air Mobile Retreat cabin is coming to a close. 

Will be on the road in the next few minutes for the 12 hour journey back to Florida.

There are some "wicked" storms along my route.  PLEASE pray for safe travel.

I'd like to give a report on my dear friend.  He is making progress.  

He's still in the "woods", but....WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!! 

 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your PRAYERS for me dear friend!!

Pieces are coming together for a possible "Mission" to India.  The situation there for millions is dreadful.  The need for CLEAN WATER is urgent.

A MIGHTY WARRIOR..THE OLD DC-3  

The DC-3 first flew in 1935 and today, THOUSANDS (DC-3's and C-47) are still flying...83 years later!!  What a tribute to the design and pure genius of this grand old bird.  

Here's a bit of history.... DC-3 ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA 

Yesterday, I went and checked up on the RAM (Remote Area Medical) DC-3.  

It's about to fly again following an extensive Annual Inspection.  

On another note, our dear friend is still battling for his life and we're still PRAYING for a miracle.  Again, may our Lord's will be done!!

We've been following the massive flooding in India and Air Mobile may be going there.  Will relay more details later.  

We're PRAYING for our Lord's direction.

PRAYING..... 

Spending a quiet day in prayer for my dear friend.  While doing so, my little aviation friends (the amazing hummingbirds) are putting on a show on this rainy morning.  

There are times to simply stand on the Word of God and believe for His will to be done.  My heart is heavy and I simply don't want to lose my dear friend.  So, here I sit and pray.

Thank you, as always for standing with me.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate your precious prayer, love and support!!

FROM THE "ROTARY" TO THE CABIN....& AN URGENT REQUEST FOR PRAYER!!

It's always a joy to speak to "Rotarians".  We share the passion of bringing CLEAN WATER to thirsty people.  

After the good Rotary Meeting, I went home and received a phone call regarding a dear friend of mine. 

For now, for privacy, I'll not mention the name of my friend.

The message was...."He is not doing well and if you want to see him, you'd better come NOW! " 

Cindy helped me pack and within minutes of the phone call I was on the road for the Retreat Cabin in Tennessee.  

Had a good, safe journey and 700 miles and 12 hours later I arrived at the Cabin late last night.  This morning, I'll be driving to the hospital to be with my friend.  

Folks, I sincerely ask for your PRAYER for my friend.  He truly needs a miracle.  

With God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!

Over the years, we've criss-crossed the world with Rotarians.  

It's always an honor and privilege to speak at their meetings.  I'll be sharing the wonder of the Air Mobile Rescuer.  

The Rotary is best known for eradicating polio around the globe and now....their goal is to bring CLEAN WATER to a thirsty world.  This is a noble mission!!!

On another note, not sure if you've been following what is happening in China regarding Christianity, but here is a revealing article on the situation there.

14 YEARS AGO.... 

Years ago, Ann Junker, a dear friend invited me to come speak to her Prayer Group.  The day before that meeting, we manufactured our first Air Mobile Rescuer.  

I requested that faithful Prayer Group join us in prayer for wisdom and direction.  

Now, 14 years later, we have placed over 1200 Rescuers in 47 countries following the worst disasters in modern history.  

THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER!!   

This morning, I'll be speaking to this wonderful Prayer Group again.  I'm excited to be with these precious Saints again!  

Yesterday, another dear friend and great Water Mule, Joe Prussel *, arranged a meeting with Jim Royston.  Jim is deeply involved in Aerospace and so much more! 

Jim is an amazing contact and offered his wisdom and insight as to how to get the Air Mobile Rescuer into more areas that desperately need clean water.

Yes, "Surely our Lord knows how to deploy His troops"!!  THANK YOU LORD!  

It's time for me to get on with this beautiful day that our Lord has made.  As always, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

WHAT'S NEXT??  

This morning, will be having breakfast with a top, Aerospace Program Executive.  

We'll be discussing the Air Mobile Rescuer and how this amazing device can help the astronauts on-board the International Space Station (ISS).  

Also, how the Rescuer can possibly help on the Mars Mission, the Moon Base and now.... THE SPACE FORCE!! 

We also hope to be hearing from the Continental Motor Group on the final price &....the possible DONATION, for the replacement engine for the Little Donkey.  

At any rate, this is going to be a BUSY and BLESSED week.  We're keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith!!  

On another note, I've been PRAYING for our Lord to send RAIN to California!  Remember, with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!

SHARING GOD'S WORD & A "HOT / COOL" LAUNCH.... 

One of the absolute joys that Cindy and I have is going to the Hospital in Orlando and sharing our Faith in Jesus every Sunday.  

We've been blessed over these last 21 years seeing our Lord move in such wonderful ways.  God's Word does not return void!  

We have a great team of Volunteers who join us and share in this joy.  

Because of Confidentiality rules, we cannot share any details of these services.  In many ways, that's what makes it so sweet.  

We also have the privilege to go to our home Church, Redeemer, and worship our Lord in freedom.  We do not take this lightly and we're THANKFUL for it.  

I awoke at 3:31am this morning to a powerful rumbling and the house shaking.  It was a Heavy Lift Delta IV Rocket launch.  Destination:  THE SUN.  

This launch is, as the Scientists say, the "Hottest / Coolest" NASA Mission yet.  

Here's more:  NASA LAUNCHES HISTORIC PROBE TO "TOUCH THE SUN" 

Witnessing such historic launches is just one of the perks of living on the Space Coast.

In reading PROVERBS 11:25 this morning, I thought of you.  

Together, we have been bringing CLEAN WATER to the thirsty around the world.  What a blessing and a privilege to do so!  

I have often said this, and it is so true..."where would we be without the help of our friends?"  

You have stood with us through so many trials and victories. 

Together, we've been able to bring over 1200 Rescuers in 47 countries!  Thousands upon thousands are drinking clean water as a result!!

IN PURSUIT....OF AN ENGINE

We're encouraged by those who are offering to help with the acquisition of an engine for the Little Donkey.  

We hope to hear back from Continental Motors very soon for a final price on this engine or.... perhaps an outright DONATION!! 

WE ARE PRAYING FOR FAVOR!!  PLEASE JOIN US!!!  

I was speaking with one of my neighbors, Roger Miller about this situation.  

Roger has traveled to Haiti with me in the past and done an award winning Documentary on our mission.  Roger is a great friend and is thinking of any of his friends who can help.  GO ROGER!!  

Our pursuit goes on to get the Little Donkey back in the air!!!  As I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

AN OLD FRIEND DROPS IN...

What a joy, being with my dear friend and brother in the Lord, Bill Duncklee.  

Bill has done some interesting modifications on this remarkable aircraft and came over to show me.  

But....the main reason came over was to PRAY with me about our need for a replacement engine on the Little Donkey, an aircraft that he knows EXTREMELY WELL!  It's always a blessing to see Bill!  

After our visit, Bill headed back to Vero Beach, his home.  I was able to "capture" this sweet, fast, extremely efficient bird as he roared by.  GO BILL!!  

I know that, BY FAITH, we'll receive all of the funding necessary to get the Little Donkey back into the air.  

So, on this beautiful day, we go forth, believing God for his direction and provision.  As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!!

PRAY....WITHOUT CEASING  

One thing is for sure...none of us will likely be guilty of PRAYING TOO MUCH!  

The Bible tells us to PRAY & PRAY some more...without ceasing.  OK, Lord, I get the message.  

We need to get the Little Donkey back in the air and in order to do that, we need a good engine.  

PLEASE join me in PRAYER for our Lord to provide every single penny necessary to do that.  

We hope to hear back from Continental Motors soon with a firm price for an engine.  

Meanwhile, my good friend and brother in the Lord, Bill Duncklee will be coming by this morning in his Velocity, a great airplane!!  

He's been doing some work on the Velocity and wants me to join him on a test flight.  It'll be good to be back in the air!  

BTW, Bill donated the Little Donkey to Air Mobile Ministries right after the Haiti Earthquake in 2010.  THANK YOU, BILL!!  

 It's time to head to the airport to meet Bill.  As always, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

"IN THE MEANTIME....."  

As I sit at my desk and write this blog, I realize that there are times to simply "wait on the Lord & PRAY"... and that is not easy for me.  

I'm reminded of the need to PRAY by S.D. Gordon in his book "Quiet Talks on Prayer".  Here is a quote that touches my life continually.... 

"PRAYER IS STRIKING THE WINNING BLOW...SERVICE IS GATHERING UP THE RESULTS"!  

As I sit here in Florida...."In between Missions" the need for PRAYER IS PARAMOUNT!  

Yes, we need a replacement engine for the Little Donkey.  

We're awaiting word on just what the cost will be from Continental Motors.  

We're also awaiting the funding to order this engine once we finalize the price.  

We do not have the money right now.  Here is the reason:  We have invested our reserve funds into parts and components for the Air Mobile Rescuer water purifier in preparation for the Hurricane Season.    

Recently, our great mechanic Paul, during a routine inspection on the Little Donkey, found metal in the oil filter.  

This made it mandatory to stop flying and replace the engine.  This happened a bit earlier than we expected.  Thus, our need for funding.  

I find myself PRAYING harder than ever.  Now, I am asking you to join together with us in PRAYER that all of the funding will come in soon, and that we might get the Little Donkey back in the air.  

There, I've bared my heart with you today.  So, as I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your precious and invaluable prayer, love and support!!!!

Between Dr. Appointments, e-mails, phone calls, earthquake analysis and much more, this Monday will be busy....like most Mondays.

We're holding tightly onto the hand of Jesus!!!

May this Monday be GREAT!!!  

As a result of our latest NASA meetings, we're finding ways to make the incredible Air Mobile Rescuer...even better.  Stay tuned!!  

And, regarding the Little Donkey, we're hoping to hear back from Continental Motors soon regarding a discount or even a full DONATION of the rear engine.  WE PRAY!!

We go forth today, in His Name believing for His guidance and provision!!  

THANK YOU for meandering down this road of "Life" with us.  We so appreciate your precious prayer, love and support!!!

FREE TO WORSHIP  

We're THANKFUL to be able to worship God with Freedom.  This is a privilege not shared by many around the world.  

Please pray for those who are persecuted for their faith in God.  

We're thankful to be able to share the Good News of Jesus in the hospital to the sick.  

Our Lord opened the door for us to do this over 20 years ago and it is a JOY to go and proclaim the Gospel.  

THANK YOU, as always, for your prayer, love and support!!

SECURITY IN WISDOM....

In reading Proverbs 4 this morning, my heart cries out for God's Wisdom in my life! 

Wisdom is the principle thing.... 

Solomon certainly recognized our need for God's Wisdom and writes so eloquently about it.

Oft times, life comes at us fast and decisions need to made quickly.  

We face these challenges regularly and...I'm so glad that our Lord loves to give us His Wisdom.  

As I sit here, "In-between Missions", awaiting the replacement engine for the Little Donkey and knowing that a disaster can be right around the corner, I seek our Lord's Wisdom, Guidance and Provision.  

So, on this beautiful Saturday morning, we go forth in His Name and enjoy His peace and rest. May you be blessed today and I urge you to seek His Wisdom for your life.  

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

PS - I like to read the days' Proverb by linking the day of the month to the corresponding Proverb.  I'm glad that there are 31 chapters in Proverbs, one for each day of the month.  Try it....you'll like it!

THE JURY IS STILL OUT....

Spoke with Continental Motors yesterday and...no decision has been made, as of yet, regarding a discount or even an outright donation of an engine for the Little Donkey.  

Continental Motors, just like much of the General Aviation world has been to Oshkosh "AirVenture", the world's largest Annual Fly-In.  They've been extremely busy the last few weeks. 

Over the years, Continental has been very good to Air Mobile supporting the front engine on the Little Donkey.  

We are PRAYING for Grace & Favor regarding the possibility of a good discount or even a donation.  May God's will be done!!  

This morning, I read Proverbs 3, one of my all time favorite chapters in the Bible.  I like to read the corresponding Proverb to the day of the month.  

There is so much wisdom and grace found in Proverbs!!  I'd like to share Proverbs 3 with you.  

Take a few minutes and read it....you'll be glad you did!  PROVERBS 3 NKJV  

So, as we launch into this beautiful day, we go forth with God's favor and grace.  THANK YOU, as always, for your PRECIOUS prayer, love and support!!

A RIDE IN THE "PARK"  

Ari & I were out for a pleasant "Scooter" ride in the park when...we ran out of gas.  

These things happen...especially when you don't check quantity before departing and...the little yellow scooter doesn't have a gas gauge.  

Fortunately, Cindy was close by and brought us some gas in the golf cart.  Once re-fueled, we continued our pleasant ride in the park.  

It's nice to get out into the fresh air and just clear one's head.  

Between the need for a replacement engine for the Little Donkey and the possibility of the Air Mobile Rescuer flying in outer space and so many other issues, I find myself simply needing God's Wisdom to know how to navigate.  

In today's reading in Proverbs I came across this verse (Proverbs 2:4-5).

So, today, I'll be studying God's Word and searching for His Wisdom....as for Silver. 

Will also be going over the notes from the last NASA meeting.  So much to digest. 

I'm also resuming my study for the CFI (Certified Flight Instructor).  Am currently preparing for another Written Test on the "Fundamentals of Instruction".  It will be a day of study and searching.

THANK YOU for meandering down this road of "life" with me.   I truly appreciate your precious prayer, love and support!!!!

GREAT MEETING....WITH NASA

What a meeting!  Learned so much about what happens on the International Space Station (ISS) especially when things don't go "as planned".  

And CLEAN DRINKING WATER is a NON-NEGOTIABLE!!  

As you, who follow this "Rambling Blog" know, we've been working with NASA "for a while" on this project.  

As you can well imagine, there are a lot of variables and challenges, especially in dealing with "Zero G" (weightlessness).  

One of our goals is to get the Air Mobile Rescuer on-board a "Zero G" aircraft to see just what happens to the flow and UV / Ozone reaction when weightless.  

And....a wonderful potential "Spin-Off" is how NASA can help us make the Air Mobile Rescuer BETTER for service right here on Earth...as well as in Space!  I love that!!!   

This pursuit is a true WIN-WIN situation!!!  I'm especially THANKFUL to the amazing engineers and scientists who have already shared so much vital information with us for the success of this noble project.  

I'm reminded of the wise words of my first Pastor, Roy Stockstill.  When I, as a "Rookie Missionary", was facing some daunting challenges, he shared this magnificent truth.  

He said, "Son, don't forget, God knows how to deploy His troops".  Our Lord has surely given us some of the finest and most capable Engineers and Scientists in the world to make the incredible Air Mobile Rescuer even BETTER!!  

So, today, I'll be pouring over my notes and ideas from yesterday and seeking ways to make clean water even more efficiently.  

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