Planting In Drought
Dwayne:
It’s been a few months since we came to Palawan to work on some maintenance of the aircraft. It seems the pace here is always somewhat more intense with so much going on. My main purpose down here has been to get the twin back up and flying, but the progress has been slow for [...]
Walk By Faith
The amazing thing about a faith ministry is that you're stepping into the Red Sea every month. We have been learning to walk by faith and not by sight. Each month is a new adventure and faith building experience. Though the expenses continue to grow, with fuel and maintenance costs, more missionaries and church plants, [...]
New Mission Planes
Dwayne Harris
We arrived in Loma Linda 2 weeks ago and I attended the Robinson Helicopter maintenance course in Torrance while Wendy stayed with her brother and family in Loma Linda. We flew up to Montana a couple days ago and will be here for Christmas with my family. Its' nice to be home.
I just received [...]
The Power of Prayer and Fasting
Dwayne Harris
In our last newsletter we mentioned that we were going to take time for fasting and prayer. We enjoyed the fresh fruit fast for 3 days along with the united prayer sessions 3 times a day with our team here in Luzon. Those three days of prayer were such a blessing that we decided [...]
Challenges Inspire More Prayer
Dwayne Harris
The last four months have been action packed and extremely busy with flying and other projects in Palawan. Sean and Pris got back the end of July and that helped alleviate some of the flying load. We spent a couple more weeks in August at our base in Palawan with Sean and Pris before [...]
Karusuan and the Prayed for Helicopter
Wendy Harris
We don’t often get around to writing follow up stories from previous newsletters but here is one we had to write. You may remember a story I wrote 2 years ago while we were in Palawan of a village man that showed up to church one day requesting our help saying, “We don’t want [...]
Helicopter Speeds Missionary Deployment
Dwayne Harris
Over the last two years we have been working toward restoring an old airstrip at Mountain View College (MVC) in Mindanao for the purpose of supporting the work of the SULADS. The SULADS had their beginning years ago as a student missions program of MVC. It is now officially a separate entity but is [...]
Onward Forward
Dwayne Harris
The last month has been busy. I flew off the time required for a check ride and soon after was able to take the check-ride to reinstate my helicopter license here. We left the day after and flew up to our airbase in northern Luzon where I was able to do some more maintenance. [...]
A Happy Day
Dwayne was able to fly the helicopter out to AIIAS today (where we've been staying with my parents while we've been working on this), so it finally seems real now! It's a happy day!
Divine Guidance
God's Chosen Helicopter
Dwayne Harris
This last month I've been especially feeling the need for divine guidance. We have been waiting for some information on some helicopters we were looking at and it seemed to be taking much longer than expected. At the end of December we flew to manila to renew the operating permit for the [...]
