We’ve Moved!

July 18, 2020

We’ve been in Arizona for about two months now and we are finally beginning to feel settled. We have moved into our new home, purchased furniture and appliances, built beds, purchased vehicles and stocked our refrigerator. We can eat, sleep, work, and play. Truthfully, there was a time in the beginning that it felt so […]

The Barrier Crusher

January 27, 2019

A few years ago, when the new helicopter program was just starting, we never dreamed how much it would impact the work here. It has changed things in the greatest ways possible.

Maayong Pasko! Merry Christmas from the the Pruetts!

Typhoon Yolanda Update

November 19, 2013

It has been an overwhelming week and a half in so many ways – the biggest has been seeing God’s faithfulness and love for us and for the Filipino people. We have seen Him provide over and over again and what we thought would be a few days of helping where we can, has turned […]

Time to Party!

February 4, 2011

One Step Closer to Flight
