01:31 Welcome to Adventist World Aviation
01:33 Special presidential Update. 01:36 Later, I received a phone call from my neighbor. 01:39 She was in distress. 01:41 She lives just down the street. 01:42 She lives in a little mobile home, 01:45 very humble, mobile home out in the country. 01:47 And she was stressful 01:49 because she was having to go get her dad. 01:52 Her mom and dad were diagnosed with COVID-19. 01:57 And they were in the hospital for several months, 02:01 developing complications. 02:03 They had underlying conditions, of course, 02:05 and they developed severe pneumonia and she lost... 02:11 It was her stepmother, 02:12 but she lost her mom to COVID-19. 02:16 And dad was struggling with it, 02:18 but it looked like he was going to survive. 02:21 But of course, 02:22 survival without your spouse is discouraging. 02:25 And now what's Dad going to do? 02:27 Dad's in his mid-late 70s. 02:30 He had served our country 02:33 and he had served at many levels 02:36 and he's missing his wife. 02:38 And so his daughter said, 02:40 "Come live with me, Dad." 02:41 And he was in Savannah, Georgia. 02:43 And she lives up here in North Carolina, 02:45 and she wanted to know if I would pray for her. 02:48 And I said, you know, I told my neighbor I said, 02:52 "I'm going to do more than pray for you." 02:54 I said, 02:55 " I'm going to offer you something 02:57 that may make your life a little easier." 02:59 And I said, 03:00 "Let's go get your dad together. 03:01 I'll fly you down to get your dad, " 03:06 and she melted 03:08 and just couldn't believe that we would be so kind 03:11 as to go and get her father. 03:14 And of course, she said, 03:15 "Well, I don't have any money." 03:16 And I said, 03:18 "That's okay, this is not about money. 03:19 We're going to fly down and go get your dad. 03:21 We're going to bring him back home 03:22 and give him a nice journey home 03:24 with his daughter to his new home." 03:27 And she melted, 03:29 and of course he melted in tears of joy 03:32 to find out that we would do something 03:34 that would be so kind. 03:35 And so we picked him up 03:37 and we had a wonderful flight down, 03:38 Rebecca Stevenson and I flew down there 03:42 and we flew down to get him 03:45 on one-day trip and she was with us 03:49 and her dad, 03:51 so we took the three of them down 03:52 that we picked up 03:54 and we had four passengers on the way back, 03:56 and what a joyous journey that was, 03:58 just beautiful weather and a lot of tears, 04:00 a lot of tears of joy. 04:02 All to Jesus I surrender Lord, 04:09 I give myself to Thee 04:12 Okay, so I'm sitting here with Walter. 04:16 So Walter is 21 months old 04:19 and he is Chippewa. 04:21 And we picked him up here in Wisconsin 04:24 and he needs to go to North Carolina 04:26 for a specialized cancer treatment. 04:28 And we picked up Elise and Walter here 04:31 just a little bit ago 04:32 and they are needing 04:35 some specialized treatment for Walter 04:36 and he's going to be living in Charlotte, North Carolina. 04:40 So, Elise, tell us a little bit about the treatment. 04:42 While the treatment he is going to be receiving 04:45 as soon as we get there, he has a clinic appointment, 04:49 but then he's going to be having a resection surgery, 04:53 biopsy another port put in 04:57 and then he's going to undergo special clinical trials 05:02 because of that cancer 05:04 when he did relapse during treatment 05:08 to stop the gene mutation from spreading, 05:13 during the relapse 05:14 that went into his central nervous system. 05:17 And unfortunately, in the state of Wisconsin, 05:21 they are out of options as to keep it stabilized 05:26 and to try to minimize that as best as possible. 05:31 And Charlotte, North Carolina is our best option. 05:35 So we are partner organization 05:38 with an organization called, 05:43 it's Lifeline pilots. 05:44 And of course, we have some extra COVID restrictions. 05:47 But we partnered up with Lifeline Pilots years ago here 05:51 while we were in Wisconsin, 05:52 and we've got to be pretty good friends with them. 05:54 They're just an awesome organization, 05:56 awesome institution. 05:57 So we're going to be flying the Mooney M-20 Charlie. 06:01 It's a 1961 Mooney. 06:02 It's one of the world's fastest single engine aircraft 06:05 that there is, they're a little small, 06:07 but they go fast. 06:09 It's a wonderful angel flight aircraft. 06:11 We've been using it for years 06:12 under the designation of Angel Wings Fliers. 06:15 And so we've been doing Angel flights 06:17 with that for quite a few years, 06:18 both Pastor [indistinct] myself. 06:20 I've used it many, many times 06:21 for Angel flights to Rochester, 06:24 Minnesota to Mayo Clinic 06:25 and just all over the place here in the United States. 06:28 We've done many Angel flights with it. 06:29 So it served us well. 06:34 The M-20 Charlie altitude will hit a cruising speed 06:37 of about 145 knots. 06:39 So it's a fast aircraft, very comfortable, 06:41 very easy to fly, very docile. 06:43 And so we're looking forward to a good flight. 06:46 And, Elizabeth, we want to hear a prayer with you 06:49 if that's okay. 06:51 Elizabeth, tell us about your dad a little bit. 06:53 My dad is actually, 06:55 he's from originally Michigan, 07:00 but we are from Lac du flambeau 07:03 and he is actually our pastor there. 07:07 So Elizabeth's dad is a pastor 07:09 and so when I asked her, 07:10 I said, you know, 07:12 "We're a Christian organization, " 07:13 and she just lit up, 07:14 she smiled and just that warmed her heart 07:16 and so we're praying for her daughter. 07:18 And your daughter's name is? 07:20 Destiny. Destiny. 07:21 We want to pray for Destiny 07:22 and her son Walter 07:25 that we get good treatment, 07:26 we have a safe flight and that all goes well. 07:28 Let's pray together. 07:29 Father in heaven, 07:31 as we take this flight we pray Your blessing 07:32 on Walter and on Elizabeth, 07:35 in our trip, in our journey, 07:36 give us Angel Wings Flight 07:37 to give a safe flying over the country 07:39 to bring little Walter to his treatment. 07:41 We love You and we thank You, in Jesus' name, amen. 07:44 So let's go through our flight procedure here. 07:47 Our passenger briefing is... 07:49 So there's extinguisher right behind you 07:52 in case of an unlikely event of a fire, 07:54 it's behind your seat there underneath the baggage, 07:56 it's really easy to get to, just reach down between. 07:59 And the door in case of an emergency, 08:02 if Kyle or myself are incapacitated, 08:05 you're going to have to open the door 08:07 or hopefully both of us will not be incapacitated, 08:09 but you open the door 08:11 you just pull that handle back that way. 08:13 We'll open that before we land. 08:15 So it's open and we can get out 08:17 in case of an in-flight emergency. 08:19 If we do have an in-flight emergency, 08:21 just remain in your seat and just be calm. 08:23 We'll get it down to the ground safe and sound 08:24 and then once we open the door, 08:27 Kyle will get out first and he'll help you out first 08:29 and I'll get out last. 08:30 Okay, so that's pretty much it. 08:34 The Moonies are very, very safe aircraft, 08:36 they have steel infrastructure. 08:38 All right, that's our passenger briefing. 08:40 We're going to go ahead 08:41 and go through our pre-flight checklist here. 08:43 And, Kyle, if you'll go ahead and go to the next item. 08:45 Pre-flight section complete. 08:47 Okay, check. 08:49 Seatbelts are locked. 08:50 And you know how to get in and out of your seat belt, 08:51 Elizabeth?

Clear. 09:43 Yes, we're going to get started. 09:54 So we are on our last leg of our journey, 09:57 we're almost to Charlotte. 09:59 And we've been talking to Elizabeth 10:03 about little Walter, 10:04 of course he's been doing chemo. 10:06 So do you understand the name of the chemo 10:10 that they're going to do? 10:12 They are actually going to be working on this new trial 10:18 as soon as they do another cycle 10:24 of the current standard relapse chemo? 10:30 He's got one more of those. 10:32 Then he's going to do a resection. 10:35 And I'm not sure 10:36 of the actual physical name they have for it, 10:41 but it is a vaccine 10:45 that they will be using and they mix it with chemo. 10:51 And then later on, 10:52 as soon as that is successful, 10:56 he will be getting what they call MIVG therapy. 11:02 MIVG therapy is where they sedate them 11:06 and they get high doses of radiation. 11:13 We will continue to pray for him through that 11:16 and we will stay up with you 11:17 and find out how things are progressing. 11:21 Okay, well, we're here at the destination, 11:23 final destination. 11:24 We have flown all the way from Milwaukee, 11:27 Wisconsin to Charlotte, North Carolina. 11:30 We stopped in Madison, Indiana. 11:33 I had a nice little stop along the way there. 11:35 And we are at the final destination 11:38 here at the Inn and Suites 11:40 where she will make this extended stay 11:43 for a while until they find housing for little Walter. 11:46 We're going to have prayer with them now 11:48 and send them on their way. 11:50 So of course Kyle Stevenson is here, 11:53 he was the flight engineer on the way up. 11:55 Anyway, we are finally here 11:58 with Walter and Elizabeth and Kyle. 12:04 You know, we're proud to serve them. 12:06 So we're going to pray for them right now. 12:08 And yeah, he's happy, he's here. 12:11 So he's happy to be with his grandma. 12:14 So we're going to pray for them. 12:15 And let's pray together. 12:16 Father in heaven, I just pray that you'll bless Walter 12:20 and bless Elizabeth and bless Destiny and Barb 12:24 and his whole family 12:25 and may you heal little Walter. 12:27 Father, 12:28 we know that you're the father of healing of all things 12:31 and we know that 12:33 all's you said to do was just ask 12:35 and believe and in your name, 12:38 and it will be done if we just have the faith 12:40 of a grain of mustard seed. 12:41 So, Father, 12:43 we all spiritually 12:44 lay our hands on this little fellow, 12:46 we pray that You heal him. 12:48 Make him strong. 12:50 Thank You for doing it. We love You. 12:53 Make all the cancer go away in Jesus' name, amen. 12:58 All right. 13:00 So just recently, 13:02 I flew with Pastor Ric on a local Angel Flight. 13:05 He has a special neighbor 13:06 who he's been ministering to for a while now. 13:10 And she's come to know 13:12 Christ a little bit better through him. 13:14 Well, Pastor Ric just learned through his neighbor, 13:19 her name's Chris, 13:20 she's wonderful woman 13:22 that her father needed to come up here. 13:26 He was down in Savannah, Georgia. 13:29 because he no longer had his caregiver with him. 13:34 And his caregiver was his wife. 13:37 Both he and his wife 13:38 and ended up contracting COVID-19. 13:40 And she didn't make it through the ordeal. 13:45 So when she passed away, 13:47 due to some underlying conditions, 13:50 that left him by himself, and he needed the care. 13:54 And so Kris decided, 13:55 "Well, my dad is in need, 13:58 so we're going to have him come up and live with us." 14:00 But that's kind of a ways for him to go. 14:04 Big guy, 14:05 he's got some problems himself with his health, 14:10 so figured, well, as Ric ministers, 14:14 of course, he realized, 14:15 you know, there's an opportunity 14:17 there to help Kris. 14:19 And so he offered to do an Angel Flight for her. 14:22 And she was just thrilled 14:25 to have that opportunity be given to her. 14:28 So Pastor Ric and I 14:31 ended up flying her down to Savannah, Georgia. 14:36 Her father wanted her to be there for that trip. 14:39 And we picked him up 14:41 at little airport down there 14:43 and it was amazing to be part of it, 14:48 but to see the joy of something so simple take place, 14:54 I mean, we take for granted, 14:56 being able to travel 14:58 and get from point A to point B. 15:00 But sometimes when you have health problems, 15:02 it's not easy. 15:04 It complicates matters. 15:05 So to be able to fly from point A to point B 15:09 and get to where you need to go, 15:11 that means a lot to so many people. 15:14 So we picked up Butch, Kris's father, 15:17 and as we were flying back, 15:19 it was cute to watch them 15:21 because they were like kids in candy stores, 15:25 they enjoyed the flight, 15:26 they were having so much fun 15:28 and they were excited about the views. 15:31 And as returned back up here 15:35 into the Smithfield Raleigh area, 15:41 we had the runway lights on, 15:43 and they were as thrillingly bright 15:46 as you could ever possibly imagine. 15:49 I've actually never seen a runway 15:51 in the evening that bright. 15:54 And as we land, 15:55 it was like watching two kids at fireworks 15:59 show for the very first time. 16:01 They were so excited to see it. 16:03 They were ecstatic. 16:05 But even more so when we landed, 16:07 they were so excited that, 16:09 "Wow, we made it, we're here. 16:11 And now we can start 16:13 on this new chapter in life together." 16:17 So Butch is with Kris now in her place. 16:22 And she's taking care of him 16:23 and are doing well and amazingly, too, 16:28 they continue to grow in Christ. 16:30 And Kris continues to look to us, 16:35 to Pastor Ric 16:36 for that encouragement of spiritual growth 16:39 and encouragement. 16:40 And below that 16:43 she sees this in us from Christ, 16:49 made a huge impact on her life and on Butch's. 16:51 It was... 16:53 We're honored to be a part of that. 16:55 Now in Bible studies with these guys, 16:58 they're not Adventist Christians, 17:00 they've occasionally gone to church. 17:03 A sad story, 17:04 she lost her husband a few years ago to suicide. 17:07 And so there's been a lot of sadness 17:08 in their family. 17:10 And there's been a lot of isolation too 17:13 that's been going on over the last year now with COVID. 17:16 And not to mention that the people that surrounded her 17:20 isolated her as well because her husband, 17:22 there's a lot of stigma 17:24 that happens when somebody kills themselves, 17:26 with a lot of suicide... 17:27 Unfortunately, 17:28 the surviving family members of suicide victims 17:32 end up in a lot of isolation because variety of reasons, 17:36 people don't know how to behave towards those 17:38 that have lost loved ones or maybe they're just fearful, 17:43 I don't know. 17:44 But sadly, what ends up happening with suicide victim, 17:47 survivors is they end up being isolated 17:49 and even cut off from communities in many ways. 17:53 It was no different for Kris. 17:55 Kris was left alone to her own, 17:58 to raise her daughter without a father. 18:02 And so now she has her father at home. 18:04 And so we've been ministering to her, 18:07 we were able to get her dad. 18:09 And that meant so much to them. 18:10 So we started Bible studies and they are so grateful. 18:14 They're both studying about the Sabbath right now 18:16 and many other things. 18:18 And so there's a lot of positive things 18:19 that are happening inside of Adventist World Aviation. 18:22 It's been a lot of sad things 18:24 that have happened this year too. 18:25 We've lost some missionaries 18:27 that have gone into the field for us. 18:30 Belinda Munoz, 18:32 her and her husband David were church members of mine 18:34 when I pastored down in Woodlands, Texas. 18:37 And Belinda served for us for a couple of years. 18:42 In many ways, 18:43 they helped us out financially from time to time, 18:45 they weren't people of names, 18:47 but they helped us where they could, 18:49 but what they could do is she could do evangelism, 18:53 and she loved evangelism. 18:55 So let's look a little bit at Belinda's life 18:57 right here in this short clip 18:59 and see what she did for us in the Philippines, 19:01 bringing souls to Jesus. 19:09 My name's Belinda. 19:11 And I'm from Houston, Texas. 19:13 I have the passion for evangelism 19:15 and I believe it is one of my gifts. 19:18 And I don't want to waste that 19:20 on that particular gift that God has given me 19:24 so I could invest it for His kingdom. 19:27 But evangelism is preaching the Gospel, 19:31 the message of our Lord Jesus Christ, 19:33 every tongue, nation and kindred, 19:35 to every man, woman and children 19:36 so that we could preach God's gospel 19:41 in that we continue to share it with others. 19:45 The very first night that I preach, 19:47 I preach with knowing that God was with me, 19:51 and the people were so moved. 19:52 We had about 47 people there. 19:54 And they were really excited about the whole thing, 19:57 about the news, the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ 20:00 that most of the people do not know yet. 20:02 So we ended up having, 20:06 you know, get together with the people. 20:08 And the children were so excited with their projects, 20:11 and the people are still really wanting 20:13 to know more about God. 20:15 When you preach the gospel, the Lord will be with you, 20:18 and then give you strength to do it, 20:19 a double portion of His strength. 20:22 I think the people that are coming there 20:23 night after night 20:24 is because they're hungry for the Word of God, 20:26 this particular church site where I am, 20:29 although they're not very many people, 20:31 they're only about six families, 20:34 but they continue to invite their friends 20:36 and their relatives and those that are around them 20:39 to share the Gospel. 20:40 But I do believe that 20:42 the reason why they come night after night 20:43 because they are hungry for the Word of God 20:47 and they're very much into it. 20:48 They know that we are living in the last days. 20:50 And so they tell their brethren 20:52 that what Jesus have done for their lives, 20:54 that what Jesus has done for their lives 20:56 is what Jesus is going to do for their lives 20:58 if they knew Jesus 21:00 and His love and His message for love through them. 21:03 I want to win souls for God in heaven, 21:07 to bring glory to Him 21:09 because this is my mission also 21:13 and to help my brothers and sisters to know Christ 21:15 just as I came to know Christ, 21:17 to give them salvation and to freedom, 21:20 to freedom and to know Jesus 21:21 with their relationship to put their hearts on Jesus. 21:24 It's overwhelming for me because they have accepted, 21:29 they have accepted to the point like who Jesus was. 21:32 And I was able to share my life story how I met Jesus. 21:36 And, you know, 21:37 that had tremendously had impacted their lives 21:42 and just sharing my testimony. 21:45 And I think it's one of the best things 21:46 to share the testimony to someone 21:50 rather than sometimes listening to a sermon 21:53 because people are more attentive, 21:56 and they're more putting 21:57 that realization application to their lives. 22:00 And so through that, 22:03 I believe that when I shared that, 22:05 I have like three or four women 22:06 that has greatly really accepted Jesus Christ, 22:09 and of course I give God the glory 22:11 'cause God is just using me as an instrument by praising. 22:15 The children are overwhelming 22:18 because they just love to work with the materials 22:23 or the supplies that we brought them. 22:24 And they seem to be very interested. 22:26 Day after day, 22:27 I mean, night after night, they're there. 22:29 And it just continues, 22:30 the number just continues to escalate. 22:32 So I believe that when we go by the Word of God, 22:35 when we know that we have Jesus in our heart, 22:38 and we have the hunger to preach His gospel, 22:40 and then no one can stop us 22:42 because, first of all, 22:44 I have to understand that this is not my battle. 22:46 This is the Lord's battle. 22:48 So I believe that whatever I go and I do, 22:52 for the Lord will always be with me, 22:54 and He will always walk with me, 22:56 before me, and by me. 22:57 I believe that I was sent here by God to preach His Word. 23:02 So I know that wherever I am, God is with me as well, 23:05 that He will protect me, 23:06 that He will always defend me 23:08 because He's my refuge and strength. 23:10 You know, what's inspiring to see 23:11 what the Holy Spirit has done on this island, 23:14 if the Holy Spirit has touched you in some way 23:16 and you'd like to get involved with Adventist World Aviation 23:18 or some of the work that we're doing, 23:20 and we ask you to come and join us, 23:23 help us reach the unreached. 23:25 If you'd like more information 23:26 about joining us at Adventist World Aviation, 23:29 please don't hesitate to call. 23:34 And Jesus is going to come one day 23:38 and restore the loss to us. 23:45 So many other things are happening 23:46 inside of Adventist World Aviation, 23:48 lots of positive things are happening, 23:49 where we're still praying 23:51 to get the Fix family into Nicaragua. 23:54 It's been challenging there. 23:56 Every time we have a green light 23:58 to send them to Nicaragua, 24:00 we think that we're going to be able to get them there, 24:02 suddenly the door closes. 24:05 And November is the next state. 24:07 We're hoping that 24:08 we can get them down there then. 24:09 In the meantime, 24:11 Josh is going to be helping some hurricane victims, 24:13 going to be helping some folks down there 24:15 in the southern part of our country 24:17 to help hurricane victims. 24:19 And so Josh is going to continue the good work 24:21 while he's still here in the United States. 24:23 But pray that our deployment won't get derailed again, 24:25 that we need to get them there. 24:27 They're desperately needed in the country of Nicaragua. 24:31 We're still praying 24:32 for the repair of the Nicaraguan airplane 24:35 to be able to get that up and flying again. 24:37 That's been a challenge, of course, 24:39 getting people there is a challenge. 24:42 And we just got some good news 24:47 about Mabarumo and Guyana, 24:50 the curtain has been lifted. 24:52 Just in couple of days ago, 24:54 looks like we're going to be able to fly 24:55 into there pretty soon. 24:57 And so we're going to be sending 24:58 our executive vice president there. 24:59 He's our former project manager, 25:01 he and Monique, his wife, 25:03 who's still currently serving as our project manager there, 25:05 they're down there to stabilize that country 25:07 and prepare the way for our new missionary team. 25:11 The Renae family, 25:13 we're excited about them 25:15 being able to go down there very soon. 25:17 So there has been a lot transpiring 25:19 inside of Adventist World Aviation 25:22 including souls being baptized 25:24 and ministered to in the Philippines 25:27 as well as all throughout the world. 25:31 So, Jim Kincaid up there 25:33 is continuing to do a wonderful work 25:36 with our aircraft up there, 25:37 being able to fly much needed supplies 25:40 into communities 25:42 that have been suffering because of the COVID lockdown. 25:44 So a lot of positive things happening inside of aviation, 25:48 Adventist World Aviation this year, 25:50 even though it has been a challenge 25:53 all throughout the world. 25:54 I wish you God's blessing, 25:56 and continue your support for Adventist World Aviation. 25:59 We need your help now more than ever. 26:02 Our donations are down this year. 26:03 In fact, sadly, 26:05 they are down almost half 26:08 of what they were this time last year. 26:09 We're hoping that 26:11 this is going to be an unusual Christmas this year. 26:14 This is the time of year 26:15 when people think about giving 26:16 during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. 26:19 So we make this as a special appeal. 26:21 Please help us, 26:23 we need your help now more than ever 26:25 to be able to get all of these things done 26:26 because once the barriers of lockdown are released, 26:30 we want to make sure that we're in country 26:32 and able to get there right away 26:34 with our missionaries, 26:35 with our staff, with our workers, 26:38 with our aircraft, 26:39 with our relief that we have to offer. 26:41 But we can't do that without financial support, 26:43 we desperately need it to make it happen. 26:46 The good news is we've been able to save some money 26:48 because we haven't been able to move around much. 26:50 So everything has been kind of compressed. 26:53 And so with that compression also comes money saving. 26:56 So at the end of the day, our bottom line is okay. 26:58 But if we're suddenly released 27:01 and we don't have the income to be able to get the job done, 27:04 that's going to be a God thing. 27:07 And so I know God will deliver us 27:09 and make sure that all things are possible. 27:11 I can do all things through Christ 27:12 who gives me strength. 27:14 And so I want to pray that you will have a good year, 27:19 I want to pray that 27:20 you will be richly blessed this year. 27:22 Don't forget that blessings are reciprocal. 27:27 When you bless somebody else, 27:28 the blessing comes back double fold. 27:30 And so if you want a double blessing, 27:31 well, then bless somebody. 27:33 And I can't think of any better way 27:35 than to bless the work that we're doing here 27:37 at Adventist World Aviation. 27:39 The work that we do is priceless, it's expensive, 27:41 but at the end of the day, 27:43 it's priceless because we save lives, 27:44 both spiritually and physically. 27:46 And we changed lives, 27:48 both spiritually and physically. 27:50 Just ask those 27:51 that we have flown recently in our Angel Flights, 27:55 ask those that we have saved lives over the years, 27:58 ask those that we've touched 28:00 and been able to do Bible studies with, 28:02 it makes a difference. 28:04 Your donation makes a bigger difference 28:06 than you may realize. 28:08 We survived by $20, $30, $40 donations a month. 28:13 I know some of you are capable of donating 28:15 way beyond that, 28:16 some of you are capable of doing $20 an hour. 28:20 Some of you are capable of donating way more. 28:24 And we appreciate you too. 28:26 And so your donations that make all of this possible. 28:31 Continue to pray for us. 28:32 We will continue to pray for you. 28:34 So in closing, 28:36 I want to say thank you for your support 28:37 for Adventist World Aviation 28:39 throughout the months and years past. 28:41 Who knows how much time we have left? 28:43 Do we have months, do we have days, 28:44 do we have years? 28:46 We don't know. 28:47 But in the meantime, we do the best we can, 28:49 helping all of humanity, 28:51 helping them know about Jesus, 28:54 healing the sick, feeding the hungry, 28:57 giving drink to the thirsty, 29:00 helping the helpless. 29:02 That's what we do. 29:03 Pray for us. 29:05 God bless you 29:06 and we'll see you next month. |
