(If you enlarge the video, it will lose quality... I had to compress it in order for it to upload from our location.)
If you remember the story about the airplane donated by the New York Stock Exchange Chairman, this is the SAME airplane. If your memory is better than mine, you'll also remember that we were serving with JAARS in Waxhaw, NC when the plane was donated in 2007. Dano got to help prepare the plane to be sent here for service in 2008... then when we arrived here in 2012 it was in the middle of this required inspection after so many flight hours. If you watch the video, toward the end you'll see Dano in his navy blue pants, blue shirt (which looks gray), and tan hat working to ready this plane for service again! (He's always on the right side when looking at the plane... sometimes in the front... sometimes at the rear.) How exciting for him to once again be a part of getting this gift back to work for God's Glory!
What an amazing gift this airplane has been to the work of Bible Translation! Every gift given... small or large, is an amazing gift. We can't all give airplanes, but praise the Lord... we can all give something... our lives, time, financial gifts, prayers, encouragement... what else? What is God calling YOU to give?
