The Sportsman Gets A New Look

While Tom was in Washington state, he was able to take time to install the new striping decals that a friend of his had donated. At the same time Ted Setzer fitted the new wheel fairings for the trip across the Atlantic. The fairings will help reduce drag and give us about a 3 to 4 knot increase in airspeed.

While you gaze at the new look of the sportsman, I am reminded of a song that I used to sing as a young teenager going to summer Bible camp. The song is called "Get The New Look From The Old book." This aircraft will be used to take the Gospel message to areas of Cameroon that have not heard of the Old Book and the message that Jesus Saves. In Romans 10:9 we read, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." If you are reading this and you do not know where you will spend eternity, Jesus can save you. The registration # on the Sportsman N211PH is a reference to Philippians 2:11 which says, "And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." When the Sportsman arrives in Cameroon it will be used to take people to remote area's to tell the message that Jesus saves.
