OB Emergency (Lali’s life saved again)
I expected the worst, but was still amazed by what I saw. Lali's husband, Buba and another friend trudged down the trail covered in sweat and mud with Lali in a hammock on a pole. Lali was white as a sheet and in and out of consciousness. Another girl, Bapa, with muddy and tattered clothes, [...]
Helicopter Funds Begin!
We’re back again after 3 months of traveling, seeing family, and sharing in churches etc. Dwayne spent 3 intense weeks doing flight training and now he has his flight instructor rating for both multi and single engine airplanes. This will help him keep other missionary pilots current and enable him to give them some advanced [...]
Aina’s New Life
We hardly ever share follow up stories, it seems, but here is one case you may remember. A few years ago we learned of a medical mission group coming to Puerto Princessa to do free cleft lip/palate surgeries. We sent word out and were able to help several children and teenagers get the life changing [...]
Palawan Adventures
I, Wendy, have also had a very busy, but enjoyable month. It has been such a blessing for me to be here in Palawan and it’s been full of adventures and experiences. It's great to be back where I can speak the language again! When I first arrived, I prayed how I could be a [...]
The God of Hope
The last month has been very busy in Palawan with some medivac flights and making repairs and finishing some projects.
I (Dwayne) got a call from Jomar, a friend of mine that had been our foreman when we built the hangar and houses here in Palawan 4 years ago. He was in [...]
Medevac Flights
Things are finally moving along with the airstrips. The Palawan airstrip in Brooke's Point is now completed, thanks to your support and God's providing for good weather and equipment. Our new missionaries, Sean and Pris Knapp will be taking the Cessna there by next month to support the mission work in that area until we [...]
Mission Flights Begin
Dear Friends and Family,
I made a couple flights this last week with the twin to some remote areas. I picked up 3 PFM missionaries and the local pastor in Palanan which is on the east coast of Luzon where there is no road access. The only way in or out is by boat or plane. [...]
Twin Commanche arrival
The last month has been busy and gone by too fast. The week
before Christmas Gary Roberts arrived in Davao, Mindanao with the Twin
Commache after 71 flight hours. A week before he arrived the Civil Aviation Administration of the Philippines instituted a new memorandum that said no private
foreign registered aircraft can operate domestically in [...]
News and Progress
From Dwayne:
Things have been a little busy lately. We have been
working like mad to get one of the container houses finished so we
could move down and start living at the hanger. We just moved down
yesterday and like our new house and [...]
Every Nation Tribe and People
A note from Dwayne:
It has been almost 6 weeks since my return from the USA from working on the Twin Commache. Gary Roberts is still waiting for clearances and approvals to be granted before he flies it over here. Hopefully by the end of November he will have made it over here. I [...]
