HOME....AT LAST
Yesterday, Cindy, Ari and I made the final leg back to our beloved "Retreat Cabin".
Most of the drive between MA and TN is along I-81. What a lovely route with the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background.
We rolled up to our sweet cabin yesterday afternoon. It's so good to be home...for a while.
In reflection of the Funeral for Cindy's Dad, here is Obituary and lovely slide show of Ron's life.
OBITUARY FOR RONALD RICHARD PERRON
Though there is sadness at the loss of Ron, there is Joy in knowing that Ron is with his Savior, the Lord Jesus.
As always, THANK YOU for meandering down this "road of life" with us. We so appreciate your precious prayer, love and support!!

A SAD & GLORIOUS DAY....
A wonderful group of family and friends attended the Funeral for Ron, Cindy's Dad, yesterday.
RONALD RICHARD PERRON
August 16, 1937 to October 17, 2022
It was a blessing to see them all. He was loved by many and we will surely miss him.
It was indeed, a sad but glorious day. We know where Ron is and for that, we rejoice.
O DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING...O GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY! (I Corinthians 15:55)
This morning, with Military Honors, we will bury Ron.
Immediately, after the Grave-Side Service this morning, Cindy, Ari and I will hit the road..... again, for Tennessee.

ARRIVE IN STURBRIDGE....
Ari and I rolled into the famous, quaint village of Sturbridge, MA yesterday afternoon.
There, after a long 2 day drive, we met Cindy and her sister, Sue.
We were tired and hungry and had a delicious New England Seafood dinner.
So glad we made it safe and sound. So good to be with my Cindy!
Here's a little clip of the Fall Foliage along the way.

HEADING TO MASSACHUSSETTS....
Ari and I hit the road yesterday afternoon and after 7 hours (getting a little drowsy), we got to Woodstock, VA and...found a room, Praise God!
Though Gas shortages have been reported, we've been able to fuel up, with no lines, along the way.
I enjoyed the Movie immensely, but...the book fills in so many details to this wonderful story.
It's time to "hit road" and join Cindy for the funeral for her Dad (scroll down for details).

Leaves are still changing colors and the ride will afford us with some glorious Fall Foliage Shows.
So, it's time to pack up and head to Massachusetts and my Cindy.

Yesterday, I went to see a Doctor about some numbers that are rising with my prostate cancer.
First of all, we are PRAYING and putting and keeping this situation in God's Hands.
Next, we have an excellent medical Team with UT Medical Center (University of Tennessee).
We have been surveilling (keeping a very close eye on this situation) for over 2 years.
I'm THANKFUL for tests and medical help that is available for matters such as this.
So, in the midst of this swirl of activity going on in our lives....we have the Funeral for Cindy's Dad coming up this Sunday.
We have future "Missions" ahead of us....BRINGING CLEAN WATER to a THIRSTY WORLD and SHARING THE LOVE OF GOD with a lost world!
Over the next few weeks, I'll be seeing other doctors and above all, BELIEVING GOD for complete healing.
Folks, you have stood with us for so many things over the years and we've seen our Lord do great and wonderful things in our lives & others around the world.
I personally want to THANK YOU ALL for your precious prayer, love and support!!

MONITORING.....
While here at the sweet "Retreat Cabin", in addition to taking care of the "critters" (horses, donkeys, dogs & ducks), I'm able to have some good relaxing time, and watching the News.
I'm "monitoring" the world events, the War in Ukraine, China Threatening Taiwan, Iran's protests and Haiti in such catastrophic chaos....and the list goes on.
I like to compare what is going on with what the Bible says will happen.
I suspect that once the Funeral (Cindy's Dad) is done....we'll likely head out for our "Next Mission".
Not sure where that will be, but.... with God's help and grace, we'll be ready when the call comes.
Cindy and I want to THANK YOU for your precious prayer during this difficult time. We're comforted to know that her Dad truly loved our Lord Jesus.
It's time to go do some chores and THANK GOD for this peaceful time here at the "Retreat Cabin".

APPRECIATE.....
From time to time, I just plain-out feel GUILTY when I can go and turn on the water spigot and get clean water. Or, flip on a light or bump up the thermostat and bring a little more heat at the touch of my finger.
Well, the better response over GUILT would be to be APPRECIATIVE and THANK GOD for His BLESSINGS and....do what I can to help those in deep need.
Back to Ukraine for a moment....Russian forces are destroying the infrastructure (power plants) as well as bombing innocent civilians, bombing the Nuclear Power Plants and now....looking to blow up a major dam and kill and cutoff hundreds of thousands.
Now, that would be a very, very bad day for Ukraine. So, what can we do?
I can't emphasize how important and powerful it is to PRAY!!
PRAYER is the single most POWERFUL thing we can do. Then, put FEET on PRAYER and do what we can to help.
Now, Cindy and I are planning the funeral for her Dad, Ron. You can scroll down to yesterday for the details.
And, again, THANK YOU for your PRAYERS for Cindy and our family and those who knew and loved Ron.
We're planning to return to Ukraine sometime in the near future (after the funeral). Please PRAY for our Lord to lead us each step of the way.
And, Folks, I can't THANK YOU enough for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

PRAYERS FROM AFAR....
On this chilly TN morning (28 degrees), I sit at my laptop and ponder what to write today.
Just scanned the latest news from the Ukraine War and my heart simply breaks for the Ukrainian people who are under new bombardment on Civilians and the taking out of strategic power plants.
This leads to such suffering as winter comes and temps drop and water and sewage are being cut off. The Russian attack on Ukraine is just pure evil.
So, from this little "Retreat Cabin" in the mountains of East TN, my PRAYER goes up for all that are in the path of these brutal attacks.
I simply ask our Lord Jesus to have His way in this War and bring the attackers to justice!
I don't know when, but Air Mobile will return to Ukraine and bring in more "Rescuers" to provide CLEAN WATER even in bomb shelters and the front lines.
For now, Cindy and I have a funeral to put together for her Dad.
Here are the details:
For those of you who knew Ron and would like to attend his funeral, it will be on October 30, 2022. The location is:
Mulhane Home For Funerals
45 N. Main St.
Millbury, MA 01527
The exact time has not been set, but it will likely be Sunday afternoon, October 30th around 3:00 PM. We will confirm the time later.
Well, it's time to stock up our firewood to help keep this little "Retreat Cabin" warm in the winter that is soon upon us.
As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

Yahn Gray Chief Water Mule came by and we had to make a run to our local airport to store some aircraft oil, hydraulic fluid and grease and....it suddenly dawned on me that I forgot to "finish" the rambling blog.
So, here I am writing the "rest of the blog"..... a bit later than usual.
I spoke with Cindy this morning who is down in Florida putting many of the details together for her Dad's funeral.
She's doing a wonderful job and attending to a lot of details. I'm very proud of her and she's handling the loss of her Dad quite well.
Meanwhile, here at the "Retreat Cabin", we're monitoring the events in Ukraine and Haiti and our hearts break for all that is happening.
So, that's a bit of what is going on in our lives and we THANK GOD for your precious prayer, love and support!

Her Dad, Ronald Richard Perron had just passed away. For Cindy, it was a sad flight to Orlando.
RONALD RICHARD PERRON
August 16, 1937 - October 17, 2022
There are certainly many things that I could say about Ron (AKA Pepe'), but the most important thing that I can say is that Ron loved our Lord Jesus and....Ron introduced me to his daughter, Cindy.
Ron will be missed and yet, we know that one day, we will all be together in Heaven.

YES...INDEED, IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME!
Good old fashioned rest and great football (LSU beat Florida last night & Tennessee beat Alabama!) and heading to our TN Home Church. Ahhh, life is good.
Now, with a bit of peace and quiet and rest, we can plan our "Next Mission" more clearly.
There's a lot of bad stuff going on around the world...from War in Ukraine to Hurricanes to Gangs in Haiti and the list goes on and on.
We're not sure where our next deployment will be, as things are moving fast and ever changing.
Speaking of "Changing"....the leaves are just exploding into beauty right before our eyes.
So, for the next few days, we'll just lay low and pray and ask our Lord where He wants us to go.
Time to head to Church and enjoy the Word of God along with sweet fellowship with our TN Church Family.

After a very successful outreach in France, it's time to head home, back to our sweet "Retreat Cabin" in the mountains of East TN.
We're especially glad that Ari was able to join us on this sweet mission to France.
Just read on down for the details of this "Mission".
Yesterday, we drove from Southern France back to Paris, a 500+ mile trek. The French Countryside is just beautiful.
When arriving to the sprawling metropolis of Paris, we did a quick history check.
We discovered that Paris was settled in the 3rd Century BC (250-225 BC) by a group of fishermen known at "Parisiis". Talk about a long and rich history!
Here's what Wikipedia had to say about Paris - A BRIEF HISTORY OF PARIS
We're already planning our next "Missions" and Air Mobile Rescuers are being built as I type. PRAISE GOD!!

It was so good seeing and meeting again these sweet ones who Cindy knew and ministered to many years ago in a mud hut village in Haiti.
The Church was lovely and filled to capacity as we shared the Love of God with them.
Cindy sang and Peter played the Via Dolorosa.

The old rambling blog is running a bit late today because....we flew all night.
Had a 3+ hour layover and then boarded a direct flight from Atlanta to Paris.
We flew all night and landed in Paris close to noon.
Meanwhile, Peter boarded an Air Canada flight from Orlando to Montreal then to Paris. He too flew all night.
We then met up in Paris and rented a car and drove to downtown Paris.
BTW, this has been a dream come true for Ariana. Since she was a little girl, she's longed to, one day, visit Paris.
Traffic is crazy in Paris and parking is nearly impossible. But...eventually, we found a lovely Cafe' next to parking garage.
Late this afternoon, I've finally sat down and posted this blog.
We'll be preparing for our Sunday morning service with Cindy's long-time friends from Haiti.
We're looking forward to sharing the Love of God with this precious Haitian community in Paris.

Having just returned from Ukraine for "Mission #5, I suppose that I just "ran out of gas" and succumbed to a wicked infection.
THANK YOU for your prayers and I'm thankful for good antibiotics and slowly, I'm coming through this malady.
Thank God for the "Retreat Cabin" in the mountains of East TN.
Looks like I'll have to delay going to Florida and Puerto Rico for now. This also gives more time to build more Rescuers and raise the funds for them.
On her way to the airport, she's stuck in traffic and flooded roads and may miss her flight. Please PRAY our Lord makes a way for her to get home.
So, I'll just sit here and PRAY and RECOVER from whatever this thing is that got me.

I'm running a fever and very "achey". My good friend, Doctor Steve Badoloto has me on a Z-Pack and it looks like I just have to ride this one out.
Truly appreciate your prayer, love and support!

Early reports indicate the death toll is rising, but no numbers have been issued as of yet. WE PRAY!!
I just spoke with Cindy, who is with our son, Peter in Titusville, FL and they are experiencing tropical storm winds and a lot of rain. They are just fine. PRAISE GOD!
We're THANKFUL to WVLT Channel 8 in Knoxville for this story on our efforts.

We're also monitoring the devastation in Puerto Rico and will decide what to do about that after Ian passes the U.S. Southeast.
Wow, haven't had a moment to "recover" from our latest deployment to Ukraine on Mission #5. PRAISE GOD for the successful mission.
Cindy and I have been able to spend time with her Dad, Ron and we're continuing to PRAY for him to come back (with cognizance) following his terrible fall.
Well, late last night, I found a comfortable bed on I-26 somewhere in South Carolina to lay my weary head.
Now, up eary this morning for another 5 hour drive to our beloved Tennessee Retreat Cabin....though I may not have very much time there before heading back to Florida (and beyond) with at least 10 Air Mobile Rescuers.

Stan was invaluable in helping us to put together the proper documentation to get our Air Mobile Rescuers through Poland Customs very smoothly.
It was great seeing Stan and his wonderful family.
David, a highly decorated U.S. Veteran has been a resident in Poland for over 30 years.
David has been such a great help for the Ukraine War effort. He's also helped Air Mobile in getting CLEAN WATER where desperately needed.
Regarding both Stan and David, I'm ever reminded of the wise words of my dear first Pastor, Roy Stockstill, when he told me...
"Son, don't forget, God knows how to deploy His" troops".
PLEASE PRAY for their continued protection as they press on in this EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, life-saving operation.

Barry sent this video clip. While he was Preaching the Gospel to a group about ready to receive a Rescuer, multiple rockets flew overhead and struck very close to where the team was.
PRAISE GOD for protection and courage!
Then, Barry sent this clip of the deployment of a Rescuer, right next to rig that was digging a well.
We discussed ways to get more Rescuers funded and positioned in Ukraine. It was a very good meeting.

SLIPPING INTO UKRAINE....
Yesterday, on this cold and rainy morning, I "slipped" into Ukraine to deliver critical components to keep Air Mobile Rescuers pumping effectively.
Behind me, is what remains of what I call "Love Row". This path from Poland to the Ukraine Border is all but empty now.
Just after the Invasion (February 24th), this cobble stone row was full of Non-Profit, Relief and Church organizations filled this row with a lot of love and care for the Ukrainians escaping this terrible war.
My mission yesterday was to get 4 replacement pump motors into the hands of the Rescuer Operators.
At the half-way point of entering Ukraine, all is going well for my entry.
The next step is clearing the Ukraine Customs / Immigration. Went very quickly and smoothly. Praise God for a good path into Ukraine!
Once on the Ukraine side, I went straight to the location of "Centrum" (the organization who received 4 Rescuers). Once inside, it was empty. The organization moved.
Fortunately, there was one truck left and the driver offered to bring me to the new location. Again, PRAISE GOD!
Minutes later, we pulled into the new location of "Centrum". I met Nick and gave him a quick training on how to change the pump motor if necessary.
I placed 4 pump motors in his hands and felt that my mission today was accomplished.
Headed back to the Border Crossing and into Poland. PRAISE GOD for a smooth entry - exit & re-entry.
Then, drove 5 hours back into Warsaw last night. More meetings today and the "Mission" goes on.
PLEASE PRAY FOR THEIR SAFETY!!
We see that Putin has upped the war and tensions are very high with the possibility of Nuclear exchange. WE PRAY!!
As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

INSPECTING & TRAINING....AT THE BORDER
Yesterday, I visited 2 of our Air Mobile operators. The purpose was to inspect their units and give some additional Training on replacing pump motors.
We went over procedures to keep the Rescuers going with additional training. Artur is very sharp and a pleasure to work with.
I met with Daniel and inspected the Rescuers donated to OB on precious missions. Those units passed the inspection just fine.
Today, I plan to cross the Border into Ukraine to find some more units for inspection & training.
Immediately upon my return to the U.S., we may be going PR with more Rescuers. We're following the flooding situation closely & prayerfully!
We're building additional Rescuers as I type this blog.

Once all is clear of Customs, Barry & Team will be going directly into Ukraine to a disaster flooded region where CLEAN WATER is desperately needed.
I'll be heading South to another Border Crossing and doing service / training calls on Rescuers brought in on our previous missions. Will not be publishing my exact locations.
I'm so THANKFUL to our Lord for bringing this Mission (#5) safe thus far.
PLEASE PRAY for our safety and wisdom in deploying and servicing / training on these life-saving units.
BTW, met an extraordinary Humanitarian, Ziv, from Canada. We discussed the situation in Ukraine and hopefully will be working together.
As you may know, we have close ties to NASA on past Space Shuttle Missions, as well as testing our Rescuer for the International Space Station (ISS) and future Moon and Mars missions.
Well, Ziv's family makes guitars and actually has one on the ISS.
After breakfast this morning, there was a Harley Davidson display just outside. Both Ziv and I both like motorcycles.

Barry will be leading a team of 10 to Ukraine and will be bringing in these 10 Rescuers.
I'll fly into Poland the day before and assist in processing these units through Customs.
We so look forward to "Mission 5 to Ukraine"! We feel that the timing is critical to get these units into position.
After presenting the units to The Grove Church, I had to go to NASA to pick up my renewed Badge at Kennedy Space Center (KSC).

I recall the day of the "Russian Invasion" on February 24th. Things looked very bleak for the people of Ukraine.
But, in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, the Ukraine people have stood firm and the "Tide is Turning"!
Now, with the threat of the use of nuclear weapons, the danger is increased as Putin becomes more desperate. WE CONTINUE TO PRAY!!!
Meanwhile, Air Mobile will be returning to Ukraine. We will be working with the Grove Church from Titusville, FL.
We will be bringing in 10 more Air Mobile Rescuer water purifiers and placing them in strategic locations where CLEAN WATER has been CUT OFF. Can't give any more details.
Today, we'll be loading up our trusty little Ford Escape with Rescuers and I'll hit the road tomorrow for Florida, and then to Poland / Ukraine.

We see major flooding and drought and War and so much more all happening at the same time.
The staggering needs are everywhere. As Cindy and I sit here at our Retreat Cabin, we PRAY & Ask our Lord Jesus to give us His direction.
WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING; THEREFORE GET WISDOM; AND WITH ALL THY GETTING...GET UNDERSTANDING!
King Solomon, known for sharing God's Wisdom, urges us to get Wisdom and with that Wisdom, we get His direction & understanding.
There are so many directions that we can go. Do we go to Kentucky following major flooding? Or to Mississippi, also major flooding? Or to Pakistan, major flooding? Or do we return to Ukraine, in the midst of a brutal War with Russia?
We PRAY & Ask God for His Wisdom and direction.
Cindy is recovering from her shoulder surgery, though still in Physical Therapy. We're so THANKFUL to you for your prayers for Cindy.
We can now begin to think about packing our bags and getting Air Mobile Rescuers all tested and ready to go and....LAUNCH our Next Mission.

Even in the little things....for example, should I go to the Post Office before going to the grocery store.
Now, that may seem like a little thing, but...suppose our Lord wants us to meet someone and share His love with them.
How many times, has our Lord arranged Divine Appointments and the little things turn out to be "Game Changers" in our lives. I can think of hundreds.
So, as we go forth in this day, may we seek His Wisdom and Direction. We find His direction in the Word of God.
Here is Proverbs 2 in the King James Version for you to chew on today.
It is an awesome Word on Wisdom & Direction. Take just a few minutes and read it in it's entirety....you'll be BLESSED!
So, seeking our Lord's Wisdom & Direction, we can go forth with courage and strength.
As many of you may know, I often open Proverbs to the Day (31 Proverbs - one for each day) and see what our Lord has for me.
Of course, I opened up my Bible to Proverbs and went to chapter 2 and found the Words that I needed for this day. Thought I'd share this bit of Wisdom with you today.
