Greetings from the BEAM Team,
We hope all is well with you and yours. We just wanted to give you an update of all God is doing. We are excited to go to PNG to get the Cessna 185 airplane that was donated by Missionary Jim Blume. God used this tool there for many years. Now, we trust God will use it to help us in our aviation ministry as well. Please pray for safety and the Lord’s blessing for those that go there to retrieve this evangelism tool (Lord willing). We need to remove the wings and the tail to fit it in a container to be trucked out of a very remote place. Pray the roads are navigable and we have no problem trucking it as well as shipping it back to the USA. Pray for Paul and those who help to get it done. Thanks for your help.
Along another note, we are looking forward to building the airplane hangar in Hyder, Alaska. We want to give a special thank you for those who are helping us on the hangar fund. We have presented this need in almost every available service since we left Hyder on November 3rd and the Lord is bringing in the funds. We still have a ways to go to reach our goals. Now, we have almost $50,000 promised for land and hanger. I am trying to reduce our original goal of about $150,000 for land and hangar to closer to $110,000 if we can get the land owner to divide the land and sell us just the amount to fit the hangar and that’s it. The problem is that there is very little land available that would work for us and we have to go with what is available. Please pray the Lord would work this out, and that it would be workable with the land owner and he would be willing to sell us what we need.
The Lord knows what He wants us to do. I trust He will supply all our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. We want to start and finish the project this summer. It is going to take a joint effort by God’s people who get a vision as the Lord enables and equips us to do what He wants accomplished in this region and ministry.
We are excited we have all our paperwork to make His Wings Air Service a reality. Donations go through our home church to Baptist Evangelism Aviation Ministry. BEAM is the funding arm for His Wings. The verse we are choosing for His Wings ministry is “…under His wings thou shalt trust.” We trust God will keep us safe as we fly in His aircraft back and forth, to and from the remote villages of Alaska and Canada.
THANK YOU so much for your help! This is an investment in God’s business. Jesus said, “Know ye not I must be about my Father’s business?” You too are investing in our Heavenly Father’s Business. Do you think God will leave you at loss for having done so? I think not. It is not a liability to give to the Lord but an opportunity. His Wings Air Service belongs to the Lord and is a non profit 501-C3 ministry. We are laborers together with God, in His business, to reach the lost at any cost. Thank you for your participation. May God bless each and every one!
Until next time this is your representative for souls out yonder,
Mark J. Bach
BEAM and His Wings Air Director and President
