I had a great day on yesterday. I studied and exercised in the morning before going to Soul Winning Visitation. At 10 we had church wide visitation and it was a real blessing to be able to go out and share the gospel with people. Their are so many thousands of people around us that need the gospel. What a joy and delight to preach Christ to the multitudes and offer them hope. We came home and grabbed a quick bite to eat and then we went off to the airport to fly with Josh. He took us to a little grass strip in Hampton N.H. While there we got an ice cream cone and witnessed to the lady getting me the cone. She said I know you, our church supports you at Merrimack. That was kind of neat to meet her. She knew all about our aviation ministry. You just got to love it knowing the Lord orders our steps. From there we went down to Newburyport where George Whitefield preached for years and then back home to Sanford. Josh did a good job flying and controlling the Cherokee Six. My boy and I found enough time to go out and exercise for a little while on the golf course playing nine holes. My wife had a lovely meal planned for us when I got home. What a blessing she is. I love her so much and I don't know how I would make it without her. To close out the night we both went on a little motorcycle ride before retiring. It's always relaxing to go out and drive the country roads and get a deeper burden for those around us that need Christ.

Thank you for your prayers.

I appreciate all the goodness of our God. If we got what we just deserve we would all be in hell. I'm glad I'm saved and washed in His Blood.

Further I'm not only glad that I have been converted but also I'm thrilled that He called me into the gospel ministry. I often joke and say I don't know what I would do if I had to work but the truth is I am very busy for Jesus Christ. I usually start early in the morning and end late at night.

I also am constrained today by His great love. It is the love of God that constrains us to go forth with the glorious gospel message. Today we will do just that this morning as we go and share the gospel with our town. I'm looking forward to giving out gospel tracts and opening my Bible to tell others how they can know Christ.

Today I sit here in my study challenged by the great task that the God of Heaven has called us to. May He help each of us to not slacken, soften, or become sad through the circumstances of life but to stand strong for Him!!

Josh was flying and I took this picture of our farm house from the air obviously!! Josh has been doing a good job and it has been a blessing to have him around.

President Bush's gulfstream that he flew in from Texas in!!

Greetings in Jesus Name

The Lord blessed all day long on yesterday as I had a very busy day. Started out early with morning devotions. Benjamin and I were on the golf course playing nine holes of golf at 6:45 a.m. After that we farmed still 11:30 helping our neighbour out. Then we had some visitors from N.C. that stopped in so we showed them all that God was doing in the ministry here. Then back down to the airport to work on the windows of the C402. While we were there President Bush flew in from Texas. That was kind of neat to see him and Barbara again. They flew up to Number 41's (George Bush senior) 85th birthday. I came home after that and cooked supper on the grill. By then mom and dad finally made it and we had a meal together, a little discipleship together with Ron and Barbara (practical discipleship last night) and then went over and helped mom and dad unpack. Also Bro. Mack and his wife showed up. They will be staying with us for around two months helping us out in the ministry. This place is hopping with activity. I feel like a tick in a yo-yo!! Very busy day but I did get alot accomplished.

Today I'm studying in my office and then I will go to the airport and work all day. We need to do our best to go at it and get that plane back together. Also after working all day at the airport we will have discipleship tonight with a family from our church that has 7 kids. Their will probally be over 20 people for supper tonight. Come on down we have plenty for you to.

Love you all

What a great day on yesterday. I enjoyed my early morning study time alone in quietness. After that I had several meetings and some visitation to do at the hospital and other places. I changed my clothes and went farming until noon. Our family planted cucumbers on yesterday. The rest of the day I studied and spent some time mentoring Bro. Josh. We both enjoyed our time flying the Cessna 150.
At 6 our family went off to church for a glorious service. I praise the Lord that He has given me the privilege to be part of an old fashioned Baptist Church. The Lord blessed as I preached on Aquilla and Priscilla, a family that made a difference in their day. I challenged the church to have families that are holy and make a difference in our day. It was a great time and we did have a good turnout. Their must have been around 70 people there. Glory to God for what He is doing!!

Today we will be doing more of the work of the ministry with work around the farm, visiting, studying,flying,putting windows in the plane,golfing,discipling and loving on my family. I think when you put these all together you have a day full of activity. Amen and Amen!!

Love each of you

Greetings in Jesus Name

I praise the Lord for His goodness and grace! What a mighty God we serve. We can never praise Him enough. I am so glad I am saved and washed in His precious Blood.

Pray much for my mom and dad as they begin there journey today of moving up here. It's a big decision for them but what a joy to have my own mom and dad as partners in the ministry.

Our family helped a local farmer yesterday plant some tomatoes. He was in a bind so we all went down and trudged through the mud and rain to get some things done. Praise the Lord for all He allowed us to do.

I'm looking foward to a great service tonight at the house of God. Pray much that God in His power and glory will save souls and stir the saints. I'm looking forward to a mighty move of God.

Greetings in Jesus Name

I had a glorious day on yesterday. I worked a little on the pilots side window. I had to trim it and now I need to knotch out where the screws go. I enjoyed hanging around with my Abigail. She is a hard worker and loves to go to the airport to help.

After that my boy and I got in 18 holes of golf. I played the best I have played all year with four birdies. He played pretty good to but you guessed it, I still beat him.

After supper Josh and I went on a cross country flight to three airports. He is doing a wonderful job. It was a great night to fly with calm winds and weather. Our weather is turning cool now for the next few days with a tempature now of 52 degrees.

Today our whole family is going to help our neighbour out of a jam and plant some tomatoes. It will be fun to work together. Also today I am studying my Bible and spending time in devotions. I am going to try to get one of the windows in the airplane to. As always it will be a busy day of ministry and outreach. Thank you for your prayers.

Greetings in Jesus Name

Our day was blessed yesterday with Bro. Bob Holmes. He preached great messages and the altars were full at the end of the service. Praise the Lord for all He did throughout the morning service. In the afternoon none of us had a chance to beat him. I think he took it easy on us but still their was no chance we could win. Praise the Lord for the good day. We had a few visitors come out for the meeting but over all our church was pretty full all services. Praise be to God for all He is doing in our local church.

I flew up and met with a pastor in Wiscasset in the afternoon and had a good time of fellowship. I praise the Lord for traveling mercies in the airplane up there and back.

Last night I found the grave marker of an old Baptist preacher that use to pastor the First Baptist Church of Sanford back in the last 1700's. That was kind of neat but the only thing the marker said was Rev. No words that spoke of him or his life. It was neat to locate it. It was out in the woods about 700 yards off the road.

I'm looking forward to a powerful day of ministry here in town. I will be working at the airport some today on the windows. I also plan on visiting and sharing the gospel of Christ everywhere I go. Benjamin and I are going to go golfing this afternoon. Praise the Lord that He called our family here to preach the gospel and tell sinners that Jesus Saves.

I thank each of you for praying for us.

Jesus is the sweetest Name I know!!! What a wonderful day the Lord has blessed us with. The tempature is 55 and the sun is getting ready to be seen through the clouds. This is the day that we congregate together at local churches across the world and worship our Saviour. I'm so grateful that He is not in that tomb but arose victorious over death hell and grave. Well, Glory to God!!!! Amen!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!

I hope everybody saw our own Bro. Floyd on the news last night. What a great job he did in the interview as our community honored those that fought at Normandy. I'm glad the Lord has given me the privilage to know such a brave man. I thank God for people like Floyd. Freedom isn't free and he's one of the ones that has helped us to have freedom.

My day was filled yesterday with all kind of things. In the morning I studied and prayed and ask God to move in power and glory on my life and the church. He is doing just that but I am keenly aware and my daily need to seek His face. At 10 we had 31 people show up to go out soul winning. What a time we had as we knocked doors and shared the gospel. Glory!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the afternoon I did some honey do stuff as you will see in the picture. I also found time to take Josh up and train him a little in the Cessna 150. What a blessing he is to our family and we are enjoying having him here with us these two weeks. After that my wife and I went on a date on the motorbike. Praise the Lord for the good time we had together.

I'm a looking forward to our services today with Evangelist Bob Holmes. We are asking God to give us many souls that are saved and lives that are changed as a result of the gospel going forth. Anyone in the area should come out and be a part of the event. After the morning service we are going to play volleyball against him and then have an afternoon service in the park.

Thank you for your prayers.

Greetings in Jesus Name

It's wonderful to be a Born Again Christian. My heart breaks for those around us that do not know 100% for sure they are on their way to heaven. Today we will go out soul-winning at 10 a.m. looking to share the gospel with people and show them how they can know they are on their way to heaven. Pray for us that we can lead people to Christ. Also we will be handing out out fliers talking about our big day on tomorrow. Bro. Bob Holmes the one man volley ball team will be with us preaching. We are looking forward to a powerful day in the Lord.

My day yesterday was blessed as I ministered the Word of God. I enjoyed pastoring one of our members yesterday morning. Then my wife and I went on a date out to eat with a gentleman from our church. He took us out and what a blessing it is to know you are loved. After that I flew the little Cessna 150 a couple times to try to charge the battery. I went home and picked up Josh Vandercoi and we flew for around an hour. He did a great job and it was a joy to teach him some things.

I had been waiting for the lift from Taylor Rental for a long time and they called yesterday and said they had it back. So Ron Berard and I put up my new chimney. The wood boiler is now back on-line heating our water and saving us money. Praise the Lord for this because we were about ready to run out of oil.

Last night we also spent sometime in discipleship with a family in our church. We had 21 for dinner last night. Praise the Lord for the good time we had together.

Thank you for your prayers for us. We do covet them.

Greetings in Jesus Name

I appreciate all of you that prayed for me on yesterday. The Lord blessed with the funeral of Phyllis Phaup. What a great lady she was. I'm looking forward to spending an eternity together with her and of course my Jesus who bled and died on Calvary for my sins. The services and such took up most of the day.

My boy and I went out for about an hour and a half and played nine holes of golf. That was relaxing after the funeral stuff of the morning and afternoon.

Next we went to the airport and put in another four hours of work on the planes. Most people stayed until 9 p.m. We ended up having around 20 or so people running around and working. I praise the Lord for all that He allowed us to accomplish.

Today I will be in my study in the morning. Also I will be flying with Josh today somewhere. Then I plan on working around the yard for Mrs. Amy. Tonight we have discipleship with the Fitzgeralds so our house will be full with around 20 or more people in it. A busy day of ministry planned. Praise the Lord for the oppurtunity to serve.

I had a great day on yesterday. My morning was spent in my study preparing for the evening at the House of God. The services were a great blessing. I appreciate the Lord helping me to share my burden that the Mission of Missions is the local churches responsibility. May the God of Heaven help us to carry out His orders and be faithful to win souls and start other churches.

Josh and I spent several hours putting in windows on the Cessna 402. The picture shows what we got done on yesterday. What a blessing to be able to get both sides finished. Now we can concentrate on the pilot and co-pilot and the window job will be complete. Praise the Lord for all that is getting done.

Pray much for me today as Mrs. Dorothy, Miss Eleanor and myself minister at the funeral of Phyllis Phaup here in town. Pray that the power of God will be our portion and the Lord will grant liberty to share the scriptures and comfort the family. I'm looking forward to a time of rejoicing in celebration of her life.

Also today I will work at the airport some and help my wife with some chores around the house.

Thank you in advance for your prayers.

Greetings in Jesus Name

My day was very busy on yesterday. I took a bunch of phone calls in the morning which kept me hopping. In the ministry many times you stay busy just with the phone. I also met with Brother Phaup. I will be the preacher at his mothers funeral on Thursday Morning. In the afternoon I picked up Josh from Kentucky at the PWM airport. From there I went to my men's league and had a good time around a bunch of the guys from town. It was for sure a full day of ministry and I praise God for all He did in allowing me to be around people and share the good news.

Today I'm in my study early preparing for tonight and having personal study. I always look forward with great anticipation to what God has in store on these Wednesday nights. It's so good to have an old fashioned church where we can go and just go to meeting. Pray much that the Power of God would be our portion today as we serve Him. Also I plan to work at the airport some and around the yard to help my beautiful wife. We are suppose to have visitors tonight for the meeting. Pray they get saved and their lives are changed for the Glory of God.

Those balls you see between Benjamin are our drives. They were two feet apart. Like father like son!


Greetings in Jesus Name

My day started very early yesterday as the team from Calvary prepared to go and help Bro. Stoeber up in Westbrook. The Lord gave us another wonderful day of work and fellowship as we all helped to put the roof on their building. What a blessing for our men to work together and be a blessing. I appreciate all of those that went and were an encouragement to Pastor Stoeber.

When we got home I had a chance to go and play golf with my boy. We had a good time as usual.

Several times throughout the day I had an opportunity to share gospel literature with people and talk to them of the gospel. Others I invited out to our meeting on Sunday with the one man volleyball team. I praise the Lord for the boldness and utterance that He gave to me.

As you pray lift, pray for a lady at Pizza Hut that said she is coming on Wednesday to church. Pray the Lord touch her and save her before it is eternally to late.

I'm looking forward to study, visiting, working at hanger, and picking up Josh from Kentucky today. He will be with us for two weeks as we spend time mentoring him.

Oh how wonderful it is to be on this mission field serving our Lord!!!! Glory!!!

Greetings in the Blood Stained Name of our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ

Wow!!! What a day yesterday. We had a great time in Sunday School and the morning service. The service was packed and we baptized three after the morning service. The Spirit of God was moving and working all through the meetings on yesterday. What a thrill it is to see this and I bless the Lord for His faithfulness. I really sense that God is putting things together for us to move to another place in His timing. After the morning service we flew to Islesboro and were once again blessed by the preaching of Greg. It was stirring!! On the way back I ran into thunderstorms and had to put the plane down at Wiscasset. God had ordered that storm because David at that airport needed some encouragement. We ended up having a mini worship service their in the FBO building. He said he believed it was the first of that kind there. The Lord moved as we sang the hymns of faith and had a prayer meeting. Glory to God for Him ordering this. After our meeting the Thunderstorm had passed through and we were on our way back to Sanford. We were 30 minutes late for the service but it all worked out. God once again moved in power and glory in the Sunday night service. Oh how I bless His Name for all He is doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glory to God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone hold my mules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoopee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My day was blessed of God yesterday and you can see from all the pictures. The Lord allowed us to get so much done on the roof at Westbrook Baptist. No one was hurt and we had a good time of fellowship.

Yesterday afternoon I went and looked at an excavator that we are going to buy. It's got very low hours for the year and the people were buying it from are so nice. We had a great time there.

My wife and I went on a date on the way back. Of course it's always good to date your wife. We had a marvelous time together.

Last night around 8 three people from church came over and I talked about baptism. They all three are getting baptized today after the service. Glory to God for what He is doing!!!!!!

Went to bed around 10 so a full 16 hour day for Jesus!!! Glory to God!!!!

Pray for our services today as I preach the Word of God and fly to Islesboro with our team. Pray the Power of God will move and bless like only He can.

I'm just now getting ready to go up to Westbrook Maine to help Pastor Stoeber and the good people of the Westbrook Baptist Church. We are putting a roof on their new building today. What a blessing to be able to help. I think around 8 to 10 people from Calvary are going. Pray that we have a prosperous day.

My day was blessed of the Lord on yesterday with alot of things accomplished. I appreciate the good time the Lord gave us in discipleship last night with the Fitzgeralds studying on the thought "dealing with sin". Mrs. Amy also discipled Miss Tammy as I was teaching the Fitzgeralds.

Pastor Michaels and his dear wife showed up last night to stay in our prophets chamber. What a blessing they have been to the Northeast. He is the pastor in Medford Mass. at New England Baptist Church.

The Lord is doing great things and he is great to be praised.

Love all of you.

What a blessed day I had all day long on yesterday. I appreciate the Lord helping me in so many areas. I had a good study and devotions in the morning. After that I went out and shot some approaches in the soup. It felt good to get some real instrument flying in and build some confidence. In the afternoon and evening I had a good time working at the airport. Their was 15 people that came out to help at the hanger. What a joy and delight it is to see so much going on and so many people learning. I mean to tell you we got some stuff accomplished. You can go to our mechanics blog to learn more www.gospelflight.blogspot.com.

Mrs. Amy said the ladies meeting was a great blessing to. She taught out of Proverbs 31 on being a virtuous woman. They are enjoying their study together in the Word of God. Any of you ladies in the area are welcome to come out for these meetings. She has them once a month and they prove to be a great blessing.

I'm looking forward today to studying and working some more at the airport. I will be visiting and sharing the gospel everywhere I go. May God give us more souls as we seek to continue to build this church for His honor and glory.

Thank you for praying for Mom. She is doing good and recovering from her surgery. It will not be long now until they will be moving up here to help us out in our mission. The Lord is doing great things and He is to be praised.

What a glorious day I had on yesterday. Most of the day was spent in my study preparing for the evening message. I appreciate the Lord speaking to me from His Word and helping me to share the Word of God last night. I also played my trombone for the first time in the service. What a joy it is to see my lips finally in shape and able to blow the trombone a little.

At the end of the message a lady came forward and trusted Christ as her Saviour!!! Glory to God!!!!!! One of our new couples that has just been saved two weeks brought her along. Now isn't that the way it's suppose to work?

Also on last night I felt burdened to help Bro. Arnold Worley with Transporters for Jesus to pay off his truck loan. Our church gave him a thousand dollars and filled his truck up with diesel. What a joy it is to be a giving church. I pray that God will continue to bless and move as we love missionaries and the Work of God they are involved in.

Today I'm looking forward to my study time in my office and devotion time. After that I plan on working at the airport on the windows. Maybe I will have some time to go up and do some IFR work. The weather is rainy and low clouds here so it will be a good day to work on instrument stuff. Tonight Mrs. Amy has her ladies meeting. That should be a great blessing for all the ladies.

Thank you for your prayers and love for us.

"I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth." What a mighty God we serve. If we started praising Him now we could never praise Him enough. We all have so much to thank Him for!!

I had a great day on yesterday working for my wife. Actually it was a joy to get all the flower beds in and mulch them. All the kids pitched in also to make the job a bit easier. We worked all day long but the end product is very nice.

Also on yesterday I had my men's league at our local golf coarse. Benjamin and I had a good time and praise the Lord for the opportunity to get around some of the men from town that we are trying to lead to Christ.

After that several from the church came out to help unload Mom and Dad's stuff. It was a very successful time. What a blessing to finally get all their belongings up here. Mom's surgery went very well and she is recovering now. Lord willing she will go home today from the hospital. Thank each of you for your prayers.

The Worley's ended up staying here with us and will be with us one more night. I appreciate the Lord helping us to have the vision of the missionary apartment. It has come in very handy down through the years.

My day today will be filled with the work of the ministry. I will be studying this morning personally and for the message tonight. Also I plan on working some at the airport and visiting. What a joy it is to be used of God on this mission field.

The weather people said it may frost but it looks like it didn't. The temperature outside is a cool 32 degrees though. You got to love these crisp spring mornings. Makes you just want to shout unto the Lord.

Mrs. Amy's birthday went well yesterday. I took her early in the morning to get her some hanging baskets at the Springvale nursery. I must say they are beautiful on the front porch. We also had a cookout and enjoyed the fellowship of some of our Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

I managed also to get some wood cut and stacked and Benjamin mowed the yard. Their is no worries about running out of stuff to do around here. You just have to keep chipping away at it and sooner or later maybe it will all be caught up.

Today I'm looking forward to giving my wife her birthday present which is manual labor in her flower gardens. Can somebody pat me on the back. What a sweet husband!! We will have a good time together and when we get done the farm here will be a good testimony to the Lord. Also I will be studying this morning and visiting. In our everyday activities is when we find some of the greatest times to be a soulwinner. Pray for me today that I will be able to share the gospel with people and see them saved.

On Tuesday nights Benjamin and I are in a mens league at our local country club. That should be fun and again another opportunity to be around some men in our community to hopefully lead them to Christ.

As you pray today please pray for my mom as she gets the artery in her neck roto-rootered out. Pray all goes well.

Thank you for your prayers for our family!
