The Other Side of Being A Mission Pilot

What a way to end the week. Another successful dual medical flight. Always a blessing on my part to do the little I can when PAMAS springs into action.

I usually tell my students and church members during my health lectures, “Do not wait until you’re chronically sick to value your health.” Second patient has cancer, doctors can’t do much now, he’s sent home to RIP. 🙁

Praise the Lord! After a speedy refuel, Captain Sean Knapp is able to make it back home to spend Sabbath with his family. As I often say these days, flying an airplane is not the only duty a missionary pilot can have.

Another one of those sad flights where the patient is sent home to die

Glad to assist the flight by making sure the runway is ready for landing

Here’s a live video I made as I wait for Sean to land.

Perfect timing too, I got to send a nice sweet potato pudding for Ate Pris Santos Knapp and the crew back at base.

Anyways this is just me fooling around with a chef’s uniform while making the potato pudding.

Anyway, another testimony here. I’ve read in the Bible the story of the widow who gave her mite. Still amazed by it. Jesus said she gave the most because she gave her all.

Well this week had another wow moment for me, it’s not a widow but from a fellow struggling missionary on the other side of the world. I’m just amazed at the last couple of donations that came in towards my Instrument Rated training. Which makes me wonder “How comes it’s the poor struggling folks that God uses to provide us with means to keep going?” I guess I’ll never know the real “why” until we meet Jesus face to face.

How was your week? How is the Lord providing for you? Who has God used to bless you so far? Happy sabbath from the Philippines.
