“Head Up!”

“Head Up!”

  Though it was 20 years ago, I can still hear my cross-country coach’s voice booming, “Head up, Imie!”  Why the exhortation?  Well, there are a lot of reasons that was sage advice.  With every step I took, head bowed and eyes fixed squarely on the ground beneath my feet, all that was about & […]

Yesterday we were given the green light to announce that New Tribes Mission Aviation has purchased Kodiak #3 for the flight program in PNG! This is a project that has been in the works for […]

Thursday night I picked Josh up at the airport – the first time he’s been home since the 15th of April – and Friday morning we hit the ground running once more. Our job is never finished, it seems. The next step in our process right now is collecting and filing the paperwork for our […]

I mentioned in my last post that April has been a busy, busy month for us… and that was only halfway through the month! Since then there’s been an airshow, […]
