Medical/Dental Evangelism phase 1

Last Wednesday, we bagan the first phase of flying out the teams for the Medical and Dental Evangelism outreaches in Akwaya.  These are used in support of church planting efforts primarily being led by national  missionary, Pastor Felix.  The first outreach was to Amanavil for the clinics, but this outreach also included building a bridge over one of the major rivers.  Those two events included flying over 20 people with their supplies and tools!!! 

We had the most perfect flying day in months...thanks for praying for that! 

Arriving in Amanavil with some of the team. 

One of my passengers, Benjamin, a good friend from Sabga, and a carpenter who helped on the bridge. 

We staged the flights out of the Mbingo hospital airstrip because of high tailwinds in Sabga.  During one of the flights away there was a bush fire that caught the airstrip on fire.  Ty Thebeau, Andrew, Spencer, and others helped put out the blaze. 

Departing Amanavil for Mbingo after dropping off a boy named Fabulous! 

Andrew and Spencer heading out to Amanavil with me.  They were my last flight of the day. 

Tom flew in the Thebeau family, and I dropped off Spencer and Andrew before heading back to Sabga about an hour before dark.  Some of you may remember a boy from our church named Clement whose mother and brother died leaving him an orphan.  He is in the orange shirt and now lives with the Thebeaus in Sabga.
