News from a Nearby Field

Yesterday we heard the sad news that a Pilatas PC-6 missionary plane crashed in Indonesia. It was a plane flown by missionary pilot, Paul Westlund, and he along with two Indonesian passengers passed away. Paul had been flying for nearly 25 years. The cause of the accident, which happened in a remote mountainous region, is still unknown.

While the plane was not an Asas plane, or even an MAF plane, (it was one of JAAR's partner missions) we can't help but feel connected as this man was serving in a very similar ministry as we do. Please be praying for his wife and two children which he left behind.

But don't stop there, click over to here to see a moving video that had been put together long before the accident about the ministry in Indonesia. It is definitely worth a watch and quite a challenge to live sold out for Him. Apparently, one of the planes in the video is the actual one that crashed.
