After John landed, the sound room technicians at our church were able to patch him through to our pastor and congregation. Pastor King was able to speak with him for a few moments while everyone else listened in! What a treat to have everyone join in together and have a part in the delivery of this aircraft for use in Cameroon.

God has brought a special team together to support this effort. Tom Needham is the missionary who built and will fly this aircraft in direct evangelism in Cameroon. John Douglas is the pilot who God is using to deliver the Sportsman. The entire Wings As Eagles team has assisted in building, maintaining, and improving the aircraft. Many vendors and volunteers have donated assistance, parts, and expertise. Supporters of Brother Needham have given a wealth of money and prayers to see the project safely through. Another ministry, Operation Renewed Hope, is helping raise awareness of the Sportsman to Africa project that the news may be known about what God is doing in Cameroon.

The delivery is not yet finished. Please continue praying and following N211PH all the way to the Needhams' home in Cameroon.

6:05 am CDT - John called on the satellite phone to report that it is a beautiful day to fly! The folk at the Santa Maria airport said there is always some wind in the Azores, but this morning was calm and perfect. The weather is 70* and clear. ETA for Gran Canaria is 10:41 CDT. Thanks for praying for him.

5:17 am CDT - Here we go again! N211PH departed Santa Maria, Azores, for a 5+ hour flight to Gran Canaria, Canary Islands. The weather looks great, and John sounded rested this morning. He will be visiting with Missionary Terry Sharp. Brother Sharp is excited to host John for the day and will cherish the fellowship.
