Flights Underway

 This morning three of our pilots and both of our airplanes headed out the hangar doors.  Both were headed to villages to transport native leaders back home after big Bible conferences.  Lauro (left) just went for the day, but Heber and Jeyson will spend several days in this process.  They will be based out of one village and the plane will take off each morning to bring the leaders to various other villages (you can see some of the locations on the map below).

 These Bible conferences are a big deal to the leaders and they themselves pay for the flights to be part of it.  It is exciting to serve them, knowing just how much they get out of being together with other believers, even if just once a year.

Preparing the plane

Meanwhile Elijah and I are holding down the fort in Boa Vista.  Please pray for our safety (as well as for the pilots!) as this our first time alone in this new neighborhood and town.
