Updated: September 8, 2010 Eagles' Wings Flight Training Since 1984 Picnic this Saturday at Pence Springs
I was encouraged by the number of people attending, and the amount of interest there is in "learning to fly" and other aspects of activity in general aviation, sport flying, personal transportation, and "plane people" camaraderie. We also enjoyed the some "old timers" sharing their stories of long ago at Pence Springs. One guy showed us the copy of the check his Dad had used to buy a Aircoupe from Jim Tolley in 1950. The price? $1450. My first flights at Pence Springs were in 1976, so some of this really pre-dates me. Flying in were a 1946 Piper Cub, flown by Bill Mauzy, a 1956 Cessna 172, flown by Wayne Baker, Ronnie Withrow in his homebuilt Murphy Rebel, Jerome Rode in his Cessna 182-RG, another 182 from Pineville, my own Cessna 150 and another one, flown by Chris Kelley. We had a great day, and in the late afternoon there were several flights by the local ultra-lights. There were also some Model airplane flights. I want to thank each one for their participation. You helped make the day an enthusiastic success! Come back soon. I'll try to put a video on here. -dh CLICK HERE for more details. Start your flying lessons now! Lots of Free Information.

OR E-mail us: David@EaglesWings.net Mission Update: (October 26, 2009) Crystal and I have just finished our SEVENTH YEAR in Papua New Guinea. We have been here this time since October 2008, and should be back in West Virginia by mid-December 2009. I just answered an e-mail from somebody already scheduling a flight review. The new EBM (Evangelical Bible Mission) Church in Goroka has gotten off to a good start. The attendance, spirit of liberty, and fellowship have been good in every service. Many new faces are present in each service. Some people who we have reached through outdoor services in the Park are in regular attendance now. People are coming to Christ, growing in the Lord, and lives are being changed. It is truly a LIVING CHURCH and a LOVING CHURCH. We praise the Lord for his blessing and guidance in getting this new work underway. Crystal and I are the only missionaries there, but we have an excellent team - some of whom we have worked with for several years in another church. Last Sunday, (Oct 25) we had a new record attendance of 213. The best attendance we have had for a night service has been about 160 on October 4, for our 40th Anniversary. Crystal and I were married on that date in her hometown of Hillsdale, Michigan, in 1969. Eagles' Wings Christian Academy keeps us very busy through the week. We work there with our daughter, Rachel, and Domatila, Crystal's ABCs of ACE assistant. We are thankful for God's great blessings through this school year - which ends in late November.

The recent Educational Leadership Training in Goroka went very well, and the new EBM Church has gotten off to a good start. In the ELT we conducted in-service staff enhancement for staff from Ramu Christian Academy and Baiyer River Christian Academy. We praise the Lord for his blessing upon these faithful servants. It is our objective to help these staff members to develop spiritually, academically, and professionally. Emphasis is also placed on a Biblical Worldview, Christian philosophy of Education, and leadership skills. It is an honor to work with these dear friends in Papua New Guinea. Please pray for the Christian schools in Papua New Guinea. The Theme for the session was You Shall Know the Truth which is also the title of my new book which should be in print within a few weeks. Write for more information.
