00:01 Narrator: Adventist World Aviation has outpost
00:03 mission locations scattered all around the world. 00:07 Each project differs in the type of work done, however, 00:11 the underlying purpose of each of the projects is the same; 00:14 to share the love of Jesus with the difficult to reach people 00:18 of this world. 00:20 Each of the Adventist World Aviation projects is situated 00:23 in extremely remote locations. 00:26 Strategically located in remote areas, they serve the indigenous 00:30 people of those regions. 00:32 In light of the Gospel Commission, Adventist World 00:35 Aviation exists to provide logistical air support 00:39 in remote parts of the world, to carry out humanitarian work. 00:44 Jud: Nicaragua, is a very unique project 00:46 as are most of AWA's projects. 00:50 They are in areas where access is limited. 00:53 They are in places where they are serving people, who have 00:56 have unique needs for access to medicine. 01:01 Have unique needs as far as transportation. 01:03 And the airplane is able to provide that service 01:07 to those people in a very special way. 01:10 It was a huge impact on the lives of the people 01:13 living in these areas. 01:14 You see this project meets the needs of the Miskito people 01:18 in a wide variety of ways. 01:21 We're in the Atlantic, northeastern Coast of Nicaragua 01:25 which is the most isolated area of Nicaragua. 01:29 Of course that's where the needs are for the airplane. 01:32 To reach the villages that have very little other access if any. 01:37 Of course medical is the main need that most people need 01:40 and umm... the Hanley's have been able to minister to the people 01:46 here in very unique ways with medical care, 01:50 with medical evacuations, simply caring for their needs. 01:54 And what you will see really especially, is that they have 01:56 touched the people's hearts by learning their language 01:59 by becoming part of their culture. 02:02 Becoming part of their community in a way 02:06 that most people can't do. 02:08 That's again is a unique part of Adventist World Aviation 02:12 and the areas that we reach is we become part of the community. 02:16 We believe in sustainability. Our projects should go on 02:19 for as long as they are needed in those areas. 02:21 In order to do that, of course, it takes a wide variety of 02:26 resources, and primarily people. 02:28 Volunteers that are willing to come and serve for the long term 02:31 Knowing, that they are going to be calling and serving 02:34 the people in areas that may be a little bit difficult to live, 02:37 some challenges, languages, but meeting the needs of the people 02:42 where they are at, in very unique ways. 03:31 Narrator - Recently, Adventist World Aviation adopted a very 03:34 active aviation project in the northeast corner of Nicaragua. 03:39 Clint and his wife Marilyn started this project 03:43 10 years ago with the guidance of God. 03:47 They've developed an amazing, productive and 03:50 thriving aviation mission base. 03:52 The native Miskito people live in dense jungles of Nicaragua. 03:56 They are often overlooked due to their difficult 04:00 geographic location. 04:02 An aviation mission outpost located in this part of the 04:05 country is a perfect solution to help the Miskito people. 04:09 The Hanley's work in Nicaragua is truly a lifesaving mission 04:13 to the Miskito people. 04:14 Clint and his wife started this project with nothing other, than 04:19 a conviction from God that this is what He called them to do. 04:23 Clint flies medevac flights often daily and is truly 04:28 an answer to prayer for the people of this region. 04:32 I'm Clint Hanley and I live in northeast Nicaragua, 04:36 in the upper corner along the boarder of the Rio Cocoa 04:40 with the border of Honduras and I live here with my family, 04:46 2 children and my wife who is nurse and we fly this airplane, 04:51 a Cessna 172, for medical work, all around this region, 04:57 covering about 150 miles in all directions. 05:01 Since we started flying 7 years ago, I have flown 530 patients 05:06 from remote communities, or from hospital to hospital 05:09 and approximately 50-80% of those would have, 05:14 the doctors say would have died for sure, 05:16 had they not had transport. 05:18 The rest of them needed transport because they were 05:22 in great pain, say broken femurs or something like that. 05:25 That, if they would have transported by road it would 05:28 have been a lot worse for them. 05:29 So it's been a big help to the people and we're happy 05:32 to be a small part of it. 05:34 Narrator - Jud Wickwire, vice president of operations 05:37 for Adventist World Aviation, heard about the great work 05:40 that the Hanley family was doing in Nicaragua. 05:42 Since this project is new to Adventist World Aviation, 05:46 Jud wanted a firsthand view of how this base operates. 05:50 Jud - Geographically, this is well situated for serving 05:56 the needs of the people in this area. 05:58 Maybe you could describe why this is good geographically 06:01 and what the needs of the people are that you serve 06:03 with the airplane. 06:04 Clint: This area in Tronquera is right on the Rio Cocoa River 06:10 which is the border between Honduras and Nicaragua. 06:13 It's right in that area and if we go up the river, 06:19 to where the last reaches are of the river, 06:23 versus going to the coastline, where the biggest town is 06:27 where we have the big hospital where we have to bring 06:30 everybody to. 06:31 We're about the half way point in between both of those. 06:33 So we can fly 45 minutes one way and access the town; 06:36 we fly 45 minutes the other way and we are accessing 06:38 the remotest part of Nicaragua, that you can reach, 06:41 of northeast Nicaragua. 06:43 So it made sense to me when I found a runway based 06:45 in this location. This is a beautiful central location. 06:49 The Rio Cocoa River is where a lot of population base is. 06:53 A lot of the main towns are on Rio Cocoa River because 06:56 of the transportation that it brings available. 06:58 Fishing villages, ranches, stuff like that. 07:02 So when you get inland from the Rio Cocoa River 07:05 there's very little roads. 07:06 So there is very few people in there. 07:10 So the Rio Cocoa River is where it's nice to be based along. 07:12 On the other side of the river here is Honduras. 07:16 The right side is Honduras, the left side is Nicaragua. 07:19 This is a boat dock here on the left. 07:21 Where they are loading up boats and they go up, 07:23 up and down the river. 07:26 And about thirty five minutes from here up the river we have 07:29 a remote village we fly to called San Carlos, Rio Cocoa. 07:33 This boat you see coming here, they send everyday up the river, 07:38 boats like this. And this is what the sick people 07:39 have to ride on, is a boat like this. 07:41 Narrator - Jud tries to gain an understanding of just how vital 07:45 aircraft are for those living in this region of Nicaragua. 07:49 Without aviation, critically injured people have 07:53 little chance of survival. 07:55 Without the medevacs this mission provides, 07:57 injured individuals have no quick options to get to 08:01 a higher level of care. 08:03 To reach hospitals by land, it often takes 2 or more days. 08:08 But by air, Clint can deliver patients to the hospital 08:11 within 2 hours. 08:13 Having this mission plane has saved hundreds of lives. 08:17 Often without medevac flights, patients die 08:21 in the long commute from their village to the hospital. 08:26 Jud: If someone gets sick in that village, and needs 08:29 an emergency medevac, what is their alternate 08:31 to being flown out? 08:32 Clint: They take a boat, because there is no roads. 08:34 And the boats go, sometimes once a day a boat goes. 08:37 Sometimes they'll skip a day or two. 08:40 But generally a boat goes once a day. 08:42 That boat costs about five to six days wages to take the boat, 08:47 and, per person. 08:49 And it takes 12 hours to get to Waspam which is the nearest 08:54 hospital they can access. 08:55 And that's not the biggest hospital, that's 08:57 just the very nearest hospital. 08:59 But if it's very major, they need to go on to Puerto Cabezas 09:01 which is another five hour bus ride. 09:04 And the bus goes once a day to get there. 09:07 For me to fly that all of the way, from the time they call me 09:11 and I start my airplane, I can have them in Puerto Cabezas 09:14 in an hour and a half. 09:16 So if you have a pregnant lady who is in labor, even to get to 09:20 the closest hospital at 12 hours, if the boat was sitting 09:23 right there ready to go, it would be a 12 hour boat ride. 09:26 Generally it's going to be the next day or so, before 09:28 they can get the boat. 09:30 So it's usually a couple days, before they are going to get 09:33 medical help. And I can have them in an hour and a half. 09:35 So there has been a lot of lives that have been saved, 09:37 because they can get it quicker. 09:39 Jud: And this, this is the only option, only air option 09:43 in the area for anyone. 09:45 Clint: Yes, There's no commercial flights, 09:46 there's no other airplanes. 09:48 Nobody flies to these airports. In fact, in San Carlos, 09:51 I've never seen another airplane and for thirty years, there's 09:53 never been another airplane, not even military other then me. 09:57 Narrator: Currently, this project is the ONLY humanitarian 10:00 aviation support in the entire country. 10:04 Clint: We have the only ambulance for air travel in all 10:07 of Nicaragua, that can carry oxygen and a stretcher. 10:10 Now we are the only airplane in all of Nicaragua, 10:13 that is able to do this. 10:15 And we are the only airplane, that is based 10:19 on the whole Atlantic coast. 10:21 Narrator: Ten years ago, Clint and Marilyn felt God calling 10:24 them to the mission field. 10:26 They allowed God to show them where He wanted them to go. 10:30 After much prayer, they were convinced, they needed to go 10:34 and work in Nicaragua. 10:37 When they first arrived in Nicaragua, they had no idea 10:41 what God had in store for them. 10:43 Why, they never dreamed they would start 10:45 a mission aviation base. 10:48 They offered their willing hearts to God's 10:50 providential leading. 10:52 Clint: We saw that there wasn't very many missionaries here 10:54 and so that was the kind of area we thought, hey, 10:57 this is an area where nobody else wants go. 10:59 There is probably a reason for that, we knew that, but that is 11:02 the place where you can have a greater impact, because 11:07 the things you are able to do, even on a small scale. 11:09 You know as a little tiny family as one person who is working, 11:13 you are able to impact a lot more people, because 11:16 the needs are so great. 11:18 Narrator: When the Hanley's arrived in Nicaragua, they began 11:22 working in a clinic, where they were faced with 11:24 devastating realities. 11:26 Due to the remote nature of the region, many people would die 11:30 before they could reach medical care in time. 11:34 After about a year of working here, Clint felt impressed to do 11:38 something that had never been done in Nicaragua before: 11:42 offer air ambulance service to jungle villages. 11:46 This plan involved procuring an aircraft as well 11:49 as making a runway. 11:50 Although he had a burden on his heart, Clint had no idea how 11:56 this dream would ever become a reality. 12:14 After spending some time talking together, Clint offered 12:18 to show Jud around the mission base. 12:20 When the Hanley's first arrived in Tronquera, there was no 12:24 infrastructure whatsoever. 12:25 They had to build their home, a hangar, clinic, and even 12:30 a runway, if they wanted to work in this area. 12:34 Clint: When we first came here to Tronquera, we didn't have 12:36 money to really start out very big. 12:39 So we started out with our house just building it really small. 12:43 We had an outhouse out back. We didn't have the money to put 12:46 in a septic system, and running water and everything. 12:49 And we didn't have a vehicle. We rode bikes, 12:51 we had two bicycles. 12:53 One for my wife and one for me. And we could ride those the 12:56 mile to the main road to be able to catch the bus to go to town 12:59 once a month to buy supplies. 13:00 But we did have this runway, that was all over grown 13:03 with pine trees. 13:05 And it doesn't take a lot of money to go out and work, 13:08 clearing the runway and pulling stumps. 13:10 And to rent a chain saw. So I did that everyday, 13:13 working on this. 13:15 We hired local people too to help, because 13:16 labor is fairly cheap. About four dollars a day. 13:19 So I had two or three local people helping me and I worked 13:22 everyday on clearing, on this. 13:25 And I didn't have any possibility of getting a vehicle 13:29 let alone an airplane. 13:30 So I wondered at the end of the day when I would walk sweaty 13:34 and hot back home, and I looked at the clouds floating 13:36 over head the runway and I thought "why am I doing this? 13:40 Is there ever going to be a chance that 13:42 I can use this runway?" Because I don't see any possibility. 13:45 And even other missionaries laughed at me and said 13:48 "why are you doing this? You know, you don't even have 13:51 a vehicle and you think you are going to 13:52 get an airplane some day?" 13:54 But I figured the Lord gave this to me and He gave me the 13:56 money to clear it. 13:58 And so that I didn't have anything else to do. 14:00 I didn't have anywhere else to go at the time. 14:02 And so I figured, if I am a pilot, and I have a runway, 14:06 I am going to put all my effort into getting it the best I can. 14:09 And after I got it cleared, I went and I requested permission 14:13 from the government to be able to get permission for it. 14:16 I was the first person in Nicaragua they said that had 14:18 actually privately cleared a runway and wanted 14:20 to register it themselves. 14:22 That was a new procedure. But they figured out how the 14:25 procedure should be done, and they approved it. 14:27 And then through an amazing train of events, the Lord 14:32 provided an airplane and I was able to bring it down here and 14:37 start helping people down here. 14:39 It took about a year to get the logistics in place just to get 14:42 the airplane down here and get the runway approved. 14:45 I was the first person in Nicaragua building a private 14:48 runway and to go through all of the regulations that it took 14:51 to do that and then bring the airplane into the country 14:54 was a lot of work. 14:55 But the government allowed me to come, because of the work we 15:00 are doing, the humanitarian aid to the Miskito people. 15:02 There is none, none other available in all of Nicaragua 15:07 doing this. 15:08 And so it's a vital piece of help, that the government and 15:13 no other aid agency was able to offer to the people to save 15:16 lives in transport. 15:18 Narrator: Clint had a vision for this runway 15:20 and the great potential it had for humanitarian work. 15:25 Clint: So this is our runway. It's 3700 feet long. 15:28 And you can see out this direction 15:30 there is a hill on that end. 15:32 And down this way it ends in a - over a river. 15:35 And it's about twice the length, that I need 15:41 for my airplane to use. 15:43 So it's nice to have a home strip that you use all the time 15:46 that is a lot longer, then what you really need. 15:48 So you have that ability, if you have a tail wind, or a heavy 15:51 load, that you have the ability to have a little extra cushion 15:56 on your flying. 15:58 It used to be completely covered by pine trees. These pine trees 16:02 that you see on the edges here were completely covering it. 16:05 You couldn't tell any difference in the pine trees now covering 16:08 the runway and on the edges of it. 16:09 And It took about a year, between a year and two years 16:12 to get it all cleared, the stumps pulled out of it. 16:14 It took a lot of work with a pick and a shovel and then you 16:18 had to haul dirt in where you pulled the stumps out. 16:20 Fill the dirt in to places where the stumps used to be, 16:22 so you didn't get settling. 16:25 Took a lot of work, but now it's a beautiful runway 16:27 and it works really nice. 16:29 We cut the runway, the grass about between every month 16:32 and every other month, depending on the season 16:34 how fast the grass is growing. 16:36 But people cut it with a machete, just like this. 16:39 And it takes 12 guys to cut it, one day. 16:43 So each person works one day on it. 16:45 And they just cut the grass with their machetes, and they bend 16:48 down and cut the grass like this. 16:49 And they do that all day long, cutting. 16:52 We give each person a size chunk that they can cut. 16:55 And they can cut it beautiful. 16:58 It looks really good when they are done. 17:00 And that enables them do get money to use for whatever they 17:03 need to support their families. 17:06 Narrator: Once the runway was finished, they focused on 17:08 setting up a sustainable mission base. 17:11 Because Tronquera is such a remote village, the Hanley's 17:15 had to find a way to generate power for their base. 17:19 This far into the jungle, why there is no power or 17:22 communications infrastructure. 17:25 To have a successful aviation airbase, the Hanley's needed to 17:28 find a solution to provide them with both electricity 17:32 and a way to communicate with nearby villages. 17:36 Clint: So running in the background here 17:38 is my hydroelectric system. 17:40 This has a fourteen foot drop and it runs a banki turbine. 17:43 I have a twelve volt wire you can see running across. 17:46 And that runs to our house and charges twelve volt batteries 17:50 that run our power for our house. 17:53 With hydro, is one of the most efficient ways that you can get 17:56 power from and it can run twenty four hours a day. 17:59 I don't actually use it twenty four hours a day, but I use it 18:01 to backup our solar system. 18:03 And it's a real big advantage to have. 18:05 It also runs our emergency radios. 18:07 We run two radios for emergency communication. 18:12 Narrator: Clint continues the tour of the base and takes Jud 18:15 to one of the most vital sections of the base, 18:17 the communication tower. 18:20 Jud: Obviously if you go into remote areas, 18:22 communication is a huge factor. 18:24 And Adventist World Aviation is, you know our policy is 18:29 to create transpiration and communications infrastructures 18:33 in remote areas. And this is a prime example. 18:36 Can you explain a little bit about how your communication has 18:40 helped with other ministries, other organizations, government, 18:46 health and those things and how you have been involved in that. 18:49 Clint: Yah when we first moved here, there was no cell service 18:53 of any kind. 18:54 And so radios is what everything we relied on. 18:56 And we started out with two meter radios, ham radios, 18:58 and amateur radios is what we call them in the states. 19:02 And that worked, we would put a, in a local village where 19:07 we were flying, we'd put a solar panel and a battery. 19:10 And put an antenna up and then they can communicate with us 19:14 when there was an emergency. 19:15 And that worked quite well and they were able to communicate 19:19 with us and the hospital saw that and said "wow this is 19:21 really working good. Could we put an antenna up at your house 19:24 too and you could have a radio from us?" 19:25 And they have their own communication network. 19:28 And so they gave me one of their radios. 19:30 They're a Motorola set up on crystal controlled setup and so 19:34 I put one of their antennas up on my tower 19:38 and have their system. 19:40 So they can communicate from Waspam when there's emergencies. 19:43 So they communicate directly with us for that and then they 19:47 also have some of the meemessa radios, it's government, 19:50 it's called meemessa, it's government health program. 19:53 Their radios are also in some of the remote communities. 19:56 So they communicate directly with us from runways that they 19:59 have in the communities. And the doctor in the community than can 20:02 call directly to us to schedule flights and tell us you know 20:05 that there is a person here that's coming in. 20:07 Or that somebody is coming down the river to us right now 20:09 and we need them to be transported out. 20:11 So especially with cell service not being here, radio was, 20:19 we were reliant on it and it was extremely crucial. 20:22 Other mission stations around, the Tasba Raya Adventist Clinic 20:25 that was a ways away, they used us a lot for communications, 20:28 as a third party because we had internet, they didn't have 20:31 internet, but they had a radio so with medical emergencies, 20:35 with anything they had, family, needed to contact anybody, 20:38 they would send emails to us, and we would tell them 20:40 over the radio what it was. 20:43 And right now on the river there is a family up the river also 20:47 that their only communication is a radio to us. 20:50 They have no other communication. 20:51 Narrator: Having reliable communication is essential 20:54 for the type of work Clint and Marilyn do in this remote area. 20:58 Having an aircraft to offer lifesaving medevac flights 21:02 is useless, if injured patients can't contact Clint 21:06 when they need help. 21:07 Having radios, and a way to communicate with each village 21:11 was a large project to undertake but it has proven to be well 21:16 worth the efforts. 21:20 Next Clint takes Jud to show him the airplane and hangar. 21:24 Clint: There's one place in Managua that builds structures, 21:28 and so I went there and asked them about a custom built 21:31 structure that would fit my airplane. 21:33 And it's 58 feet wide and 35 feet long 21:36 and it's covered with a tarp. 21:38 The tarp will last three to five years and so they built this 21:42 whole thing on a jig based on my specifications. 21:46 They bent the metal and everything. 21:48 This is water pipe that they used, a type of water pipe 21:51 and they bent it, galvanized pipe, they bent it 21:54 to fit the standards that they needed. 21:57 And so then it was shipped across the country in a semi. 22:00 It took it 3 days to get here. 22:02 It used a third of a semi to get here and we hauled it over here 22:06 across the creek because there was no bridge to get here so 22:09 we hauled it across the creek to make it to our place. 22:13 And it's 21 feet tall. So it took some doing to get it put up 22:17 We used pine trees and propped pieces up and climbed up little, 22:21 tiny, rickety ladders. We didn't have good ladders to use. 22:25 And managed to get it all stood up and welded pieces together 22:29 on it that we needed to weld and the whole structure made it up 22:33 and the tarp went over and it fit perfectly, 22:36 just like they designed it to fit. I was very impressed. 22:39 And it has been a tremendous blessing to have it because 22:43 the plane is out of the weather, and also the sun damages the 22:47 interior of the airplane even when you put stuff on the 22:50 windshield to stop that, it hazes the windshield then. 22:52 So it has helped a lot. 22:56 Narrator: It took the Hanley's many years to construct 22:58 this mission base. 23:00 The entire project is built to be self-sustaining 23:03 with no access to power, communications or public water. 23:09 The Hanley's were able to turn this remote jungle property into 23:13 a beautiful mission compound that is self-sustaining, 23:17 and fully operational. 23:20 They harness the local water source for their power 23:23 and plumping. 23:25 They constructed communication towers to reach those in need. 23:29 The airplane has a safe shelter. 23:32 But this mission outpost still isn't complete. 23:35 There are enormous amounts of space for growth. 23:39 So Clint takes Jud around the property and shows him 23:43 locations, where they can build additional homes for more 23:47 missionaries for this project. 23:49 Clint: This is another possible building site. 23:51 A house used to be here back in the 1970's. 23:54 It was called the green house. 23:55 And our pond is over on that side, and our house 23:57 and this house was right here on the edge of the Likos River. 24:00 And it's still got mango trees and still have flowers, that are 24:04 planted in neat rows back in the seventies 24:07 that grow every year still. 24:08 Narrator: The Hanley family is overloaded with the amount 24:11 of work they have to do here in Nicaragua. 24:15 The thriving missionary base is teeming with opportunities 24:18 for service. 24:19 It has now reached a point where there is too much work 24:23 for just one family to do. 24:27 This project is undergoing enormous amounts of growth. 24:31 The Hanley's were excited to invite Adventist World Aviation 24:34 to take over the project in Nicaragua and expand it 24:39 by adding 3 families to the project. 24:42 The Kaboos family, the Karst family and the Hansen Family 24:47 have accepted the call to join the Nicaragua project. 24:52 Clint: The Miskito people are extremely thankful 24:54 that we are here. 24:56 They are very very happy with the work we do and they are 24:59 very thankful, that we are able to help them when they need it. 25:03 And I do tell them that it's not anybody in Nicaragua that is 25:08 paying for it. 25:09 No government, no hospital is paying for this, it's the people 25:13 in America, the fellow Christians, who are 25:15 sending money down to pay for the gasoline 25:17 and help keep the airplane flying, that's helping them. 25:21 Narrator: Adventist World Aviation is honored to take over 25:24 such a fantastic project, that is saving lives both physically 25:28 and eternally. 25:31 The Hanley family started this project 10 years ago. 25:35 And During this time, God has worked through them to make 25:39 a profound impact on this region. 25:42 Jud: They have worked really really hard to build up 25:44 this base, and they have shown much ingenuity and had so much 25:50 dedication of time and resources to put this together 25:55 and make it happen. 25:57 I mean God has blessed the activity here! 25:59 He has blessed the work that they have done 26:01 with the people here. 26:02 The people have benefited enormously from the time that 26:04 they have been able to spend here working. 26:06 And we just are so excited to be able to continue this project. 26:09 To continue putting resources here to help the Miskito people 26:13 and to help share the love of Jesus with these people, 26:18 who might not otherwise receive it without this type of, 26:21 you know the airplane and the recourses that we can bring here 26:26 Narrator: They have been faithful missionaries, who truly 26:28 love the people they came to serve. 26:31 However, the Hanley's realize, that they didn't do this work 26:35 on their own. 26:37 No, God was with them all the way. 26:41 Clint: In this line of work, when I walk down the street 26:45 in our local little village, people come to me, and they say 26:49 "Thank you for saving my life! Thank you for helping me!" 26:51 And we appreciate the fact that, you know they will come up and 26:55 say "you've helped my brother. You flew my brother to town, 26:58 or my sister or me, and we want to thank you for that." 27:01 And there's very few lines of work, that you can walk down 27:04 the street and you can look at the people in your local little 27:07 town and know that several of them that you see right then, 27:11 are alive because of the work you did. 27:12 So it is very fulfilling, but at the same time, the credit 27:15 all goes to the tools that the Lord has given me. 27:17 I don't have any extra expertise, or anything that 27:21 anybody else doesn't have. 27:22 All I do is use the tools that the Lord has given me. 27:25 And I am thankful that He has blessed me with those, 27:27 and I am able to pass on as a channel to help the local people 27:32 what He's given me and what you guys send from the States 27:34 to be able to help them. 27:35 And I am the one who gets the benefit of seeing the smiles 27:37 on their faces and hear the thank you from them. 27:39 Marilyn: We cannot do this, and we did not do this, to live in 27:44 Nicaragua, and build what we have. 27:47 We are supported by financial supporters, we're supported 27:53 by prayer warriors, we are supported by the village 27:57 that we live in, other missionaries, 28:00 the list goes on and on about the amount of people, time, 28:05 energy, that has gone into making this mission a help 28:12 to the Miskito people. 28:13 And ultimately, it is through God's power, that anything 28:18 has been done down here. 28:20 Through His permission, through His allowance, 28:23 through His divine directions, we have been His hands. 28:29 It's not been our dream to build this mission, 28:32 to work in northeast Nicaragua. 28:34 It was His dream, and when He called we simply answered 28:38 that we would go. 28:39 Since then, He has developed this into the mission, 28:43 that He wants it to be. |
