SAFE TRAVELS (e-newsletter 2013 0115)

SAFE TRAVELS The mission in Vietnam went very well. James was part of the planning team. The actual mission will execute in June when a C130 from the N.C. Air National Guard will be used to transport Doctors and Engineers to Dong Hoi Vietnam. The Doctors will give medical care to approximately 500 patients per day. The Engineers are going to focus on restoring a rundown medical clinic. The objective of these missions is to build relationships, provide assistance, and leave behind improved capabilities for the host nation to care for it's people. You can read more about the Pacific Angel mission on wikipedia.   James will not have the opportunity to participate in the June execution of this mission as we will be in Alaska serving with our mission teams at Tanalian Bible Camp. James arrived home safely last night. He flew from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to Bangkok to Tokyo. Yesterday afternoon there was a freak snowstorm in Tokyo that threatened to keep them on the ground overnight. However, after four hours sitting in the Boeing 747 on the ground waiting for de-icing and runway snow removal, the Delta crew was able to get the plane off the ground and on it's way to Atlanta. It was another joyful reunion at the airport with dad and mom and kids. THANK YOU LORD! .

We would love to find someone in Alaska that needs a truck - as you know everything is less expensive in the lower 48. We would coordinate the purchase with them and then drive it there with a trailer in March. We are NOT talking about pulling our camper - just an enclosed trailer that we will sell when we get there. James would actually drive it up, park the trailer, drop off the truck and fly home to get the family. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT NEEDS A TRUCK FROM THE LOWER 48.

This work will represent 10% of our budget. This week James has had a very unique opportunity to board a Boeing 747 and travel across the world to Dong Hoi, Vietnam which is in the Quang Binh Province. James is on a mission with the N.C. Air Guard serving as the C130 planner on a team called Pacific ANGEL. Pacific ANGEL is a humanitarian mission the U.S. military engages in to bring medical and engineering assistance to impoverished areas around the globe. It is always an honor to serve our country! It was even more of an honor on this mission to be involved in bringing relief to hurting people and building strong relationships between the U.S. and Vietnam.
