A GOOD DAY TO FLY.....

All of the pieces have come together and we've gathered at Peter's Condo in Titusville, FL.

Today, God willing, Cindy, Peter and I will fly from Orlando to Rome via Dallas. We're so excited to be with Ariana today in Rome...if all goes well, and we pray it does.

Yesterday, I had the privilege to meet Copeland and Enid Harris at the Space Coast Regional airport. They are Jamaicans who live in Orlando. They have a wonderful heart to serve our Lord Jesus.

We trained them on the operation of the Air Mobile Rescuer Water Purifier.

Then, with Great Joy, we presented them with 2 "Rescuers" for deployment in the little village of Treasure Beach...an area devastated by Hurricane Beryl.

Our good friend, Alfred Menendez will give us ride to the Orlando Airport this morning.

Folks, we're so glad to have you with us on this exciting adventure to Rome and beyond. We so appreciate your precious prayer, love and support!!

BETWEEN RAIN & A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION....

Cindy and I departed our sweet "Retreat Cabin" yesterday afternoon...heading to Florida.

There was constant rain and heavy construction all along the way.

Around 10:00pm, we decided to call it a day and we found a comfortable room in Columbia, SC. Enough is enough.

This morning, we'll complete our journey to Florida where we'll meet with Peter, our son. We'll also present two Air Mobile Rescuers Water Purifiers to our friend, Copeland Harris.

Copeland has long supported works in Jamaica as well as in Orlando.

Our Lord arranged for our paths to cross allowing us to bring CLEAN WATER to the Southwest Coast of Jamaica that has been "flattened" by Hurricane Beryl. Looking forward to meeting him!

We'll then meet up with Peter and prepare for our Friday morning flight to Rome! We're excited to see Peter and to meet up with Ariana who has just complete her 6 month "Mission" with YWAM!!

We can hardly wait to see Ari!!!

We'll have a few free days to explore Rome and beyond. Apart from "passing through Rome", it will be our first time to tour Italy.

Well, it's time to get our "free breakfast" at the Hampton Inn. As always, THANK YOU for walking down this "road of life" with me and above all, for your faithful prayer, love and support!!!

MEETING IN ROME.....

Later this afternoon, Cindy and I will begin our 12 hour drive down to Florida. We'll likely sleep somewhere in South Carolina tonight.

Our plan is to arrive in Florida on Thursday. We'll be meeting with our dear friend from Jamaica, Copeland Harris.

We'll present 2 Air Mobile Rescuer Water Purifiers to Copeland for deployment in an extremely hard-hit area of Jamaica following Hurricane Beryl's terrible slash through Jamaica.

Then, on Friday morning Cindy, Peter and I will board a flight to Rome, Italy where we'll join our daughter, Ariana.

Ariana is just completing an epic 6 month "Mission" with WYAM (Youth With A Mission).

Oh, we have sure missed Ariana for these last 6 months. Yet, we know that she has grown so much in the Lord!!

Then....we'll spend the next 6 days exploring Rome & beyond and just having a wonderful time together.

It's been a long time since we've had a vacation. We're THANKFUL to our Lord for His goodness to us!!

We're so glad that you've joined us on this incredible journey. We so appreciate your faithful prayer, love and support!!

DELIVERED.....

Yesterday, I drove to Virginia Beach and met with U.S. Operation Blessing Director, Anthony Lloyd and his associate Mason Pigue.

I delivered 4 more Air Mobile Rescuer Water Purifiers to bring their inventory up to an acceptable level.

As I've said before, it's a joy working with these folks. They are definitely getting ready for....what might lie ahead.

I'm THANKFUL for this wonderful relationship. Together, we have delivered over 100 "Rescuers" around the world bringing CLEAN WATER where desperately needed IN JESUS NAME.

I'm ever reminded of the Words of our Lord Jesus...."I was thirsty and you gave me to drink...."

After delivering the 4 Rescuers, I hit the road for the 500 mile journey back to my sweet "Retreat Cabin" and my Cindy.

Now, folks, Cindy and I are planning another trip to meet our daughter, Ariana in Rome.

She just graduated a 6 month "Mission" with YWAM (Youth with a Mission). Oh, we are so proud of Ari and can hardly wait to see her. More details to come...

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

ENROUTE TO VIRGINIA BEACH.....

Departed the "Retreat Cabin" yesterday afternoon with 4 Air Mobile Rescuer Water Purifiers. Drove to Staunton, VA and found a comfortable bed.

Scheduled to arrive at Operation Blessing (OB) at noon today. Looking forward to meeting with Anthony Lloyd (US Director of OB) and Mason Pique (OB Inventory Management).

I have had the distinct privilege to work with both, CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) & OB for years in multiple countries. Here are a few...Nepal, Ecuador, Peru, Turkey, Puerto Rico.

We have deployed over 100 Air Mobile Rescuers together.

Only our Lord knows how many people are having CLEAN DRINKING WATER as a result of our efforts.

Today, we will meet to discuss ways that we can do more and do better with this amazing Purifier.

It's time to hit the road (a 3 hour drive) for Operation Blessing in Virginia Beach.

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

HEADING TO VIRGINIA BEACH.... OPERATION BLESSING

I'll be hitting the road today to meet Operation Blessing (OB) on Monday.

I'll have 4 "Air Mobile Rescuers" with me to replenish OB's inventory.

I'm reminded of Matthew 25 where Jesus gives us the parable of the 10 Virgins, 5 wise and 5 foolish.

The "Wise Virgins" had extra oil to keep their lamps burning. The "Foolish Virgins" ran out.

I so appreciate OB getting "ready" with the ability to make CLEAN WATER.... for what might lie ahead. GO OB!!

Well, it's time to hit the road for the 500 mile drive to Virginia Beach. THANK YOU, for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

MOVING FORWARD....

On this lovely Saturday, reading in great depth, the insurance policy that Air Mobile holds on the Little Donkey.

I PRAISE GOD, for my good friend and excellent lawyer, Dave Walen for helping us to navigate the policy and get our maximum coverage for our sweet little aircraft.

I'm ever reminded of the wise words, from my first Pastor, Roy Stockstill..."Remember son, God knows how to deploy His troops."

As you may know, Dave is also an extraordinary pilot and also a great A&P mechanic.

He has flown all over the Western Hemisphere with me and the "Little Donkey". So glad to have Dave as my friend and brother in the Lord!

Our goal is to be sure that God has the best possible result for Air Mobile Ministries.

However, the extent of the damage and projected repair may exceed the amount of coverage that we hold.

PLEASE PRAY that we accomplish that goal and that it will allow Air Mobile to reach into the "Hard to Reach Areas" with life-saving CLEAN WATER!

In the meantime, I am preparing to depart for Operation Blessing in Virginia Beach tomorrow after church. I'll be bringing them 4 "Rescuers".

We love these guys and have deployed "Rescuers" all over the world in behalf of CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) and Operation Blessing (OB).

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

WATCHING HISTORY UNFOLD....& LIFE GOES ON

This last week has been absolutely extraordinary!

From the Assassination Attempt on Former President Donald Trump, to the Miraculous Divine Intervention (of dodging the bullets) and one of the most amazing Political Conventions I have ever witnessed, we have a new hope for the future of America.

Cindy and I find ourselves PRAYING harder than ever for the protection of Donald Trump and for our Lord's Will to be Done with America!!

In the meantime, we're busy here at the "Retreat Cabin" with the usual chores.

Early next week, I'll be delivering 4 Air Mobile Rescuers to Operation Blessing in Virginia Beach. This will replenish their inventory of "Rescuers" for what may lie ahead.

We're also working on getting several "Rescuers" to Jamaica by way of Brother Copeland Harris. They will be going into a small fishing village on the Southwest Coast of Jamaica that was just flattened by Hurricane Beryl.

Our mechanic, Paul Jenny is still evaluating the damage to the Little Donkey and is working with our Insurance Company to determine how to get that sweet bird back into the air.

Life goes on and we're just THANKFUL to our Lord Jesus for his blessings and grace!!

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

IN THE MIDST OF IT ALL....

Cindy and I are just enjoying our life here at this sweet "Retreat Cabin".

We just incubated 7 little baby ducks and this morning let them out of their transitional brooder into our lovely duck garden.

Take a look...BABY DUCK

So for now, we're simply enjoying our peaceful and fruitful life here at our little farm.

We're looking forward to hearing the final evening of the RNC. Former President Trump will be speaking for the first time since his Assassination attempt and MIRACULOUS DIVINE INTERVENTION!!

HISTORY UNFOLDING.....

As we watched the RNC Convention last night, we had the strong sense that indeed, History was unfolding before our very eyes.

Saturday evening, when President Trump was shot and...miraculously survived this vicious attack, our hearts knew that we had witnessed a true MIRACLE!

God's Hand is on this election and again...we pray "GOD'S WILL BE DONE"!!

We continue to PRAY FOR PROTECTION AND GUIDANCE!!

We were also very pleased to receive a powerful endorsement of our amazing Air Mobile Rescuer Water Purifier, by our good friend and fellow "Prepper" Jason Charles, aka: "THE ANGRY PREPPER".

Jason began a series on, as he refers to "The Mother of all Purification Systems".

Take a look at this first, in a series demonstrating the "Rescuer". Here's the "YouTube" - "THE MOTHER OF ALL PURIFICATION SYSTEMS

We'll post the next YouTube as Jason sets up the unit and takes very dirty water and makes it very clean!

Jason is extremely knowledgeable about serious prepping and has a heart of gold but...uses a bit of colorful language from time to time. WE LOVE JASON!!

We THANK GOD for giving us this incredible machine that is a true "Life Saver" following most any disaster.

I also want to THANK YOU for walking down this road of life with Cindy and I. We so appreciate your precious prayer, love and support!!

TRUMP IN THE HOUSE....

As I watched President Trump slowly walk into Fiserv Arena last night, the crowd raised the roof with cheers.

Trump walked slowly and deliberately. You could read his lips saying quietly ..."THANK YOU, THANK YOU".

I truly believe that President Trump knows very well that the Hand of God was on him and truly, God saved his life!

Again, all we can say is PRAISE GOD!!

So, I want to THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

We are PRAYING for the temperature of this historic election to tamp down and that our Lord's Will, will be done!!!

Well, it's time to get to work on our little farm. There are always chores and repairs to be done.

Meanwhile, we are researching the conditions in the Grenadines and their need for CLEAN WATER! We have 10 units ready to deploy.

TIME WITH JESUS....

I like to find a quiet spot, here at the "Retreat Cabin", and simply sit and enjoy the peace that surrounds me.

It is a wonderful time with my Lord & Savior to simply relish the moment and grow closer to Jesus.

The "Next Mission" lies right around the corner. For now, we're working on getting the Little Donkey back together.

We have 10 Air Mobile Rescuers positioned in Florida and ready to be deployed where our Lord wants them to go.

I have reflected a great deal about the accident with the Little Donkey. I am EXTREMELY grateful to our Lord for protecting me from injury.

I also know that HE will work this for the good.

And I stand on Romans 8:28....ALL THINGS work together for the good...

So, on this beautiful morning, here at the "Retreat Cabin", I seek and enjoy His Peace that passes all understanding.

"RETREAT........"

Yesterday, I boarded an Allegiant flight in Sanford for the quick flight (1.5 hours) back to Knoxville, TN. Had a perfect flight.

So much better than the 12 hour drive!

Cindy picked me up and oh....so good to be home. Of course, once settled in, there are plenty of chores and repairs to be done around our little farm.

Back in Titusville, Paul is putting together the estimate of what it will take to get my precious "Little Donkey" back in the air.

This sweet little airplane is just the perfect / scout / rapid delivery / rescue / long range aircraft. It is certainly well worth repairing. For now, we're just waiting for the numbers to come in.

Well, it's time to get on with those chores and intermingle them with rest and relaxation here in the Mountains of East TN. Nice to "Retreat / Refresh & Recharge".

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

THE LITTLE DONKEY JUST MAY BE REPAIRABLE AFTER ALL....

Paul, our great mechanic, spent hour after hour opening up critical inspection plates and making phone calls to important sources of parts and repairs.

At the end of Paul's extensive inspection....he concluded that the Little Donkey just may be repairable after all.

We still have more and deeper inspections but....so far so good.

I immediately sent off a trove of photos and documents to our Insurance company.

We're moving ahead, at a good clip, to get all of our documentation in and get a determination from our Insurance Company as to whether they will "Total" it out or give a fair figure to REPAIR the Little Donkey.

I've done all I can do for time-being.

I've scheduled an Allegiant Flight back to our sweet "Retreat Cabin" and my precious Cindy today.

It will be good to be home. We're still working on a way and time to get those 10 Air Mobile Rescuers into the Grenadines. For now....I'll rest a bit and tackle that challenge a little later.

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

DEEP INSPECTION....

Today, our mechanic, Paul will be doing a very deep inspection on the Little Donkey to look for structural damage.

Both engines will need to be torn down due to prop strikes. All of these factors and inspections will determine whether or not this sweet little bird can be repaired.

As you, who meander down this "Road of Life" with me well know, I LOVE THE LITTLE DONKEY. For these last 14 years, it has been an extraordinary aircraft delivering me and Air Mobile to so many disasters around the world.

With our Lord's help, we have brought CLEAN WATER to countless thousands. Only our Lord knows. We will continue to do so!

We'll do our best and fully seek our Lord's direction as to what to do to get Air Mobile back in the air.

I want to give a very special THANKS to the Airport Authority and the mechanics (Lee & Steve) & others who rushed to the accident and carefully helped us get the Little Donkey off of Runway 18.

So, today, we'll be gathering all of the information required by our insurance company to determine which way to go.

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

MISSION DELAYED TO ST. VINCENT DUE TO AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT

Here's what happened. Yesterday, I decided to take the Little Donkey up for a series of Short-Field Take-Offs & Landings.

I knew that there were several airstrips in St. Vincent that were quite short and I wanted to be proficient on these maneuvers.

The first went perfect. On the second one, I tightened up the pattern. It went well.

On the third approach, I tightened up the pattern even more. I experienced several strong wind gusts and corrected but...failed to lower the landing gear. I crashed.

There is a whole lot more I could say, but for now, I'm both sad at the damage to the Little Donkey and THANKFUL for our Lord Jesus' protection.

We are immediately looking for ways to get to St. Vincent and strategically place and deploy those 10 Air Mobile Rescuer Water Purifiers.

I'll write more later. As always, THANK YOU for your vital and precious prayer, love and support!!

CONNECTIONS....& A TIMELY DELAY

We have access to all 14 our fuel tanks, in the Little Donkey, now that the transfer pump has been repaired and functioning perfectly.

Today, we're doing final routing and verification. We have found acceptable fueling locations for our mission.

I'm awaiting my faithful other pilot, Dave Walen to return from Wilmington, NC. to make this flight with me.

At this point, we will likely depart for the "Grenadines" (TVSA) that have been hammered by Hurricane Beryl tomorrow.

This mechanical delay, is enabling us to add more donations to this critical mission.

We are, as we often do, launching out "By Faith". But folks, this is a very long and complicated flight and we truly need additional funding.

PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION!

SEARCHING FOR FUEL.....

While waiting for the fuel transfer pump to be installed, here at Space Coast Regional Airport, I've been planning the route into the hardest hit areas from Hurricane Beryl.

Looks like our first stop will be from KTIX to KMAZ Mayaquez, Puerto Rico, a 970 nautical mile leg.

The big challenge is finding enough fuel to get to the hardest hit area and then having enough fuel on-board to safely return to our base.

This is a "stock shot" of me fueling the Little Donkey somewhere in the Caribbean.

I personally fuel the Little Donkey to be sure that we squeeze in every drop of fuel into those 14 fuel tanks.

We're leaning toward directing our flights into the Grenada, Grenadine region. They were hit extremely hard by Beryl. We're getting reports of severe damage in that region.

So, while we're awaiting the transfer pump, we continue to research and determine the best way to get CLEAN WATER TO THE THIRSTY!

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

14 FUEL TANKS...1 NOT PUMPING

When Dave and I flew up to Tennessee to pick up the 10 Air Mobile Rescuers, we realized that 1 of the 14 fuel tanks in the Little Donkey was not transferring fuel properly.

For the next phase of this Relief Mission, I would need every drop of fuel.

Paul, our great mechanic, met us at Space Coast Regional Airport and concluded the transfer pump had simply died.

We ordered 2 new pumps and they should be here soon.

While working through this situation, WVLT Channel 8 in Knoxville caught up with us for an update.

Here it is: WVLT CHANNEL 8 INTERVIEWS AIR MOBILE JOE

In the meantime, we're researching the Islands that most need CLEAN WATER.

SOME ISLANDS SEE NEAR TOTAL DESTRUCTION

I'm THANKFUL that the fuel transfer pump failed while we are still in the U.S. and can repair it easily...rather than being in the middle of the ocean needing every drop of fuel!

Our Lord is good!! Our PRAYER is that He guides us and leads us each step of the way!

And, I THANK YOU for your vital prayer, love and support!!

Dave and I picked up the 10 Air Mobile Rescuer Water Purifiers from our home base in Tennessee. It was good to see Cindy...for a few hours.

We loaded them up in the "Little Donkey" and flew back to Titusville...dodging a few storms along the way.

Today, we're back in Titusville and are preparing to depart for our next "Mission". There is massive destruction in multiple Islands.

HAPPY 4TH! & "10 MORE "TO GO"!

Today, we celebrate the birth of America. Though far from perfect, still, in my humble opinion...the GREATEST NATION ON EARTH!

Yesterday, Dave and I flew the Little Donkey up to TN. Had an excellent flight.

We were greeted there by Yahn Gray, who had 10 Air Mobile Rescuers Water Purifiers ready "To Go" to areas devastated by Hurricane Beryl.

We are to fly them back to our home base in FL this morning.

There, we will be able to plan our next leg. Looks like our destination will be Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.

From there, we'll be able to bring our CLEAN WATER machines where most needed.

Just before departing yesterday, WKMG Channel 6 sent James to interview me.

SUCCESSFUL TEST FLIGHTS...

Paul, our great mechanic and I took the Little Donkey up for multiple test flights.

After a few tweaks and adjustments, the Little Donkey was cleared to GO!

In between those flights was met by WFTV Channel 9. Here's our interview - WFTV INTERVIEWS JOE ABOUT HURRICANE BERYL

After Channel 9, my good friend Greg Pallone with Channel 13 interviewed me about our plans to bring CLEAN WATER where desperately need. Here's that interview - CHANNEL 13 INTERVIEWS JOE

In between the test flights and interviews, I took my daughter, Cherie and her 4 kids up for a ride down the Space Shuttle Landing facility at 500'.

Judah, who is just crazy about airplanes rode in the Co-Pilot seat and really enjoyed the ride immensely!

My good friend, Dave Walen, who has joined me on many relief flights, will be making these flights with me.

As Hurricane Beryl "barrels" across the Caribbean, we are waiting for it to pass.

We hope to fly around the back-side of Beryl and go to where the CLEAN WATER is most needed.

Today, Dave and I will fly the Little Donkey up to Tennessee where Yahn will meet us with 10 Air Mobile Rescuer Water Purifiers.

We will then fly back to Titusville, fuel up and wait for Beryl to pass and then...we will fly to where CLEAN WATER is desperately needed. WE PRAY FOR GOD'S DIRECTION!

PLEASE consider making a generous DONATION! At this time, we do not have any units funded. We've launched out by FAITH!

A QUICK FLITE TO ORLANDO (SANFORD) - STRATEGIC POSITIONING

This morning, I'll be boarding a flight from Knoxville to Sanford. The flight is 1.5 hours as opposed to a 12 hour drive. I'LL FLY!

As we look at the track & intensity of Beryl, now a CAT 4, it is good to re-position the Little Donkey.

The conditions are ripe for more Hurricanes to form.

Our strategy is to let the hurricane pass and come in on the back-side and bring relief as needed.

Again, this 2024 Hurricane Season has just started with a BANG!

We know that multiple islands will be devastated and will need a way to get CLEAN WATER.

So, it's time to hit the road for Knoxville. This "Mission" has begun.

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