Flying with the Future

 
Over the years I have been able to fly with some of the best missionary pilots in and out of the jungles in different places around the world. Men that have made mission work much easier by putting their lives on the line each day to get the gospel into the hearts of unreached people groups. Some of these men have died, working through bad weather and other dangers pilots face on the mission field. Today February 18th I was able to fly with my grandson and share his dreams of becoming a missionary pilot in the coming years. Would you please pray for our Flight Program, we will have many trials in the coming days? Our pilots face the possibility of death with each flight but they with the missionaries they serve give live to the tribal people as they preach the gospel in those hard far out places. What a joy for me to share in my grandson’s dreams of being a mission pilot and taking my passion for preaching the gospel deeper into the unreached groups around the world. Our mission pilots are special, they not only fly planes in and out of very hard places they live a life that encourages young men to follow them as they walk with the Lord. I have watched our pilots sweat it out in bad weather getting us safely home. I have also watched them wipe away a tear as they unload another tribal person in a black bag that has died in the hospital in town. Now, as I watch my grandson prepare for the future I take my hat off to you my missionary pilot friend and thank you for being a hero that these young men need. Thank you for being so much more than just someone who flies a plane. Jack Housley
