VICIOUS....
The world is seeing Russian cruelty & brutality...that is beyond belief.
It appears to be not only indescriminent bombing, but actually targeted bombing of hospitals and other innocent targets.
The latest bombing on the Children's Hospital in Mariupol demonstrates the the horrifying attacks on an innocent Ukranian people.
As Kyiv and other major cities are being cut-off and choked and bombed, the urgency of getting help where needed is more vital than ever.
Air Mobile is moving ahead toward launching a mission to bring CLEAN WATER where desperately needed.
Today, a local reporter is visiting the Air Mobile base here in Tennessee to see our progress toward getting Air Mobile Rescuers ready for action.
We're praying that all of the funding comes in for us to make this mission.

SITUATION: CRITICAL - RUSSIA MOVING TOWARD KYIV
Ukraine is bracing for a direct Russian attack on KYIV!
Supplies are running out / medicine / food / clean water!
Our Air Mobile Rescuer water purifiers can take the dirtiest water and make it clean.
We're getting ready to GO! Have some details to work out, but....looks like Air Mobile is moving toward Ukraine.
Our goal will be to bring in at least 10 Air Mobile Rescuer water purifiers.
Imagine having 10 portable "Water Treatment Plants" to take the dirty water and make it very clean!!
Each unit can give 1000 people per day clean water...10 X 1000= 10,000 people! PRAISE GOD!!
This shot was taken in Peru with 10 units running simultaneaously.
We plan to fly into Poland and then work our way as close to Ukraine as we can get.
At this time, we do not have a single unit funded and would like to ask you to join us in prayer for full funding. Each unit cost $3,000.00.

BOMBING A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT.....MADNESS!!
Cindy and I were shocked last night to see the flames and Russian bombs falling on the largest Nuclear Power Plant in all of Europe and one of the largest in the world.
A breach in that Nuclear plant could be 10 times worse than Chernobyl!!
This is a threat to all of Europe and the world.
WHAT MADNESS!!!
Of course, the images of the indiscriment bombing of civilian targets is just heart-breaking!
These are WAR CRIMES carried out before our very eyes.
May our Lord have His Way with this Despot (Putin)!

DOING WHAT WE CAN.....WHEN WE CAN
As we watch the violent take-over of Ukraine by Russian forces, we realize NOW is a good time PREPARE!!
I'm ever reminded of the Parable of the 10 Virgins (Matthew 25). 5 were wise and 5 were foolish.
The wise Virgins went and bought (or secured) extra oil BEFORE the Bridegroom came.
The 5 foolish Virgins failed to do so and were locked out.
Mmmmm, this is a good lesson for us. One thing is for sure. Pretty much everything is going UP in price, especially fuel.
Well, in light of the catastrophic developments (the largest invasion by land / sea / air since 1945), by Russian Troops, we thought it would be a good time to stock up on fuel.
My good friend Rich was at the house and he helped me load the empty gas cans.
Buying fuel today will save me money....from buying fuel tomorrow.
So, we watch the developments on this terrible attack and we PRAY & PREPARE!!
THANK YOU, as always, for your precious prayer, love and support!!

WAR!!!
The full, all-out attack on Ukraine has begun. Terrible History is being made as I type this blog.
Lives are being lost and Ukraine is being destroyed by Russia led by Putin.
WE PRAY!!!
Here's more - COUNTDOWN WW III!!
Folks, these are PERILOUS DAYS! Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 that these things will come to pass.
Here is a link to Matthew 24. I urge you to take about 5-10 minutes and read what Jesus has to say about these days. MATTHEW 24 NKJV
Let me say this....Cindy and I are not panicking. We are simply heeding the Words of Jesus and planning accordingly.
Today, Yahn (our Chief Water Mule) and I will be going over our Air Mobile Rescuer water purifier inventory and planning to build more units.
I'll also be filling up every empty gas can that we have. The cost of fuel will likely RISE!!
I urge you to look at your stock and fill in areas that need attention. The cost of everything, like fuel, will likely also rise!
Above all, put your trust and faith in Jesus!!

WE'LL SEE.....
It's difficult to "interpret" the news regarding the "Russian Invasion" of Ukraine.
There's a lot of stuff going on "behind the scenes". We may never know what the true situation is. Day by day, "We'll see" what the outcome is.
In the meantime, I am left with PRAYER for GOD'S WILL TO BE DONE!
For this thing I know.....I know who does know the beginning and the end and how it will all work out.
As for me and my house, we will put all of our trust in our Lord Jesus!!

MY WATER BOTTLE.....
Last night, before going to bed, I filled my water bottle....from our tap from our well (406' deep).
While standing there, watching the clean water flow, I was reminded that literally hundreds of millions around the world do not have this simple luxury.
At that moment, my heart broke for those who do not have access to CLEAN WATER.
That realization, which I have had so many times before, only drives us to continue to do what we can to bring CLEAN WATER to a THIRSTY WORLD.
Being able to do this in obedience to our Lord Jesus, only strengthens our resolve to go forth in His Name and in response to our Lord's Words.....
"I was thirsty and you gave me to drink....when you've done it unto the least of these, my Bretheren, you've done it unto ME" - Matthew 25:35-40
As you drink clean water, may you join us in our prayer for those who do not have access to this most basic and vital drink.
So today, we'll be making more water purifiers and getting ready for our "Next Mission" wherever that might be.
Am also getting some blood work done this morning, for my next appointment with my doctor in my pursuit of becoming CANCER FREE.....in the Name of JESUS!
As I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES OUR PRAYER MAKE?
Sitting here, at the "Retreat Cabin", sipping a cup of coffee, I ponder the situations going on around the world.
Oh, there are wars & rumors of wars....as we see Russia threatening Ukraine and China threatening Taiwan & countless other conflicts not reported.
The question arises....what can we do to make a difference?
Our Lord Jesus tells us to PRAY for THY WILL TO BE DONE on Earth as it is in Heaven.
So...what difference can our prayer make? Much in every way when we PRAY for God's Will to be done!!
Jesus teaches us to PRAY and that is what I will do today. May our Lord lead and guide each step of the way.
So, on this beautiful day, I lift up my eyes to heaven and say...OH LORD, HAVE YOUR WAY!!

A COFFEE STORY.....
Was up early yesterday for our ride to Knoxville for some medical tests.
Made that first cup of coffee and was enjoying it immensely when Cindy suddenly said...."put the coffee cup down NOW"!
She had just read the "fasting" requirements for the kind of test I would be getting. Coffee was NOT allowed.
Well, a half a cup is better than no cup. Longing for more coffee we made the hour and a half drive to Knoxville.
Soon, we were in the exam room and the Doctor came and said...."well, first things first...how about a good cup of fresh ground coffee!"
Now, this was my first time meeting this doctor and he had no idea my deep love for coffee.
How did he know...that was exactly what I needed? While sipping that delicious cup, he explained that the actual tests would be performed on Friday.
God is good....all the time and He knows what we need.
On the ride back to the "Retreat Cabin", we got a call from our dear Sister in Christ, Barbara (AKA: "Rambo in the blue dress"). She would be landing at 7:20pm. She'll be spending a few days with us...."house hunting".
Barb and family are ready to leave New York (the land of EXTREME regulations) and move to Tennessee (the Land of the FREE!!). It'll be great having Barb with us. Cindy is already lining up houses to see.
Well, time to go search for a good home for Barb & family.

UN-STUCK TRUCK & TOASTY WARM
After sunrise, we could see clearly how to un-stick the delivery truck.
We called Doug Hill, a local tow truck operator. Doug knows his stuff!
We hooked up a cable and pulled the truck away from the precarious drop off.
The little red tow truck pulled the stuck truck FREE!
So glad we didn't lose that truck to the big ravine. Thankful for a skilled tow truck driver. Thank you Doug Hill!

A STUCK TRUCK....
Received a call late last night that a delivery truck was stuck in our long driveway while attempting to make a delivery here to the "Retreat Cabin".
I'll be working on getting a large tow-truck this morning to help us. Will follow this blog up with some photos a bit later today.
Please PRAY that we get this done in a safe and timely fashion. God bless and as always, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

DODGING LANDON & "SLIPPING" HOME
After dropping Rolf Engelhard & Barbara Walker with our good friends, Joe & Lydia Prussel (who are Great Water Mules), I aimed my red Ford Escape to Tennessee.
I knew that Winter Storm Landon would just be 'grazing' my route home.
The rain was falling and the temperature was rapidly dropping. The visibility was deteriorating and I just kept pushing toward home.
It was a great relief to pull up to our "Retreat Cabin" in the rain and fog.
So good to be home. I've sure missed my Cindy and Ari!!!
PRAISE GOD for a safe end to this latest "Mission to Haiti"!!!
As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

SLIPPING OUT OF HAITI....ONTO "SLIPPERY ROADS" HOME
Yesterday morning, I met with the Director General (DG), Joseph Laurent Dumas, of OFNAC (the FAA of Haiti).
We discussed upcoming improvements to the Air Traffic Control system to Haiti.
I was very encouraged when DG Dumas requested PRAYER for WISDOM in his new assignment. We PRAYED together.
From that meeting, it was straight to the General Aviation facility to prepare the Little Donkey for the flight back to the U.S.
In addition to Rolf Engelhard, we were joined on the flight by the famous (in my humble opinion), Barbara Walker (AKA: Rambo in the Blue Dress).
We topped off all the tanks, cleared Customs and Immigration and headed home.
We climbed to 10,500' and our Lord made the most beautiful path between the storms, back to the U.S.
We were happy to be leaving Haiti and heading to the U.S.
PRAISE GOD for PROTECITON on this "Mission" to Haiti.
BTW, Ti Burik performed perfectly. The fuel system functioned exactly as designed. PRAISE GOD!!!
Now, back in the U.S., I'm driving back to Tennessee and.....will be dodging a major Winter Storm and icy roads.
Here's more on what I'll be facing....WINTER STORM LANDON BRINGING SNOW & ICE
OH Folks, I just can't THANK YOU enough for your precious prayer, love and support!!!
GOD IS GOOD....ALL THE TIME.

A DAY TO PRAY.....& LAYING LOW
Thanks to cell service (though quite spotty) here in Haiti, I've been able to conduct meetings without leaving our secure location.
This also afforded the opprtunity to rest and even nap a bit between meetings.
A lot of gunfire has been reported near our Air Mobile Base Camp and wisdom dictates we "stay- put"....& "lay low".
So, today, we're awaiting word as to whether or not we will have any face to face meetings.
Fortunately, we're in a safe location where the food is good and the rooms are quite comfortable.
So, I want you to know just how much I appreciate your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!

TI BURIK....READY
With the help of an excellent mechanic and a good diagnosis, we solved the problem of the fuel flow. PRAISE GOD!!
The Little Donkey is ready to gallop home whenever we're ready.
While in Haiti, met with the new Director General of OFNAC (the FAA of Haiti).
It just so happens, I've known Colonel Dumas for over 40 years. He's also a pilot and has many hours in the Cessna 0-2 (the military version of the Cessna Skymaster).
He's a good man for this important job of controlling the airspace between the U.S. and South America. Today, we'll be in follow up meetings with OFNAC.
We have to exercise caution when traveling about in Haiti due to the ongoing threat of kidnapping. We PRAY for wisdom each step of the way.
We'll also be in meetings today with other Missionaries, but do not want to give any details for Security Reasons. Haiti is extremely dangerous at this time and again, we must exercise caution.
So....as I say every single day and truly mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!!
