Indescribable!

I know that the Lord is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.
⁶ The Lord does whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.

Psalm 135:5,6

Rejoice with us at how great God is! Over the past eight months, Yajasi (the Indonesian aviation organziation Josh serves with) has been in the process of getting two Pilatus Porters to serve the Lord in Papua. One plane was in Switzerland, and the other is from Nepal.

There were many obtstacles that were in the way. The major one was money. (Isn't that the source of most hurdles?) We were pleading with the Lord that He would allow the planes to enter the country tax-free. Just image the tax on an airplane for a second... yeah, now imagine two. After months of praying, we got news that both planes were allowed to enter Indonesia tax free! This looked like a brick wall with no possible way of going over, under, or through. The Lord provided a way, just as He has done in the past. He has provided ways through rivers and caused walls to crumble with the sound of a trumpet. He can do whatever pleases him.

Here's the info on the plane from Switzerland. 

" Another adventure is starting soon. We are going to transfer the Pilatus Porter HB-FMZ (SN:956) during an approximately three week period from Switzerland to Papua (Indonesia)

The first leg starts on Tuesday August 21 08.00lt in Kloten, heading for Iraklion with a fuelstop in Bari (Italy)… the following day with a Fuelstop in Borg El Arab and Nightstop in Luxor (Egypt). Planned arrival after 20 landings, 18 Nightstops and approx. 80 flight hours is Saturday September 8 2012.

To all who are interested in the rest of the legs: daily photographic travelogues and the actual Position in the air can be found at www.danieleicher.com

How cool is that?? You can see where the plane is!

Here are the facts about the second plane from Nepal.

Two Yajasi mechanics headed to Nepal for a couple weeks to ensure the plane was ready for the long ferry to her new home. PC-6 SN 962 will be coming from Nepal.  Two Yajasi pilots will be leaving on Sunday, August 26 to fly to Nepal and begin the long flight back to Papua! There are also two pilots on stand by and are also ready to go if needed. This baby is scheduled to arrive in Papua on September 5.

Did you catch the dates? After eight months of praying, anticipating, wondering how the growing needs of the Lord will be met in Papua BOTH planes arrive within THREE days of each other. Amazing! The Lord does whatever pleases Him!

Pray for our colleagues as they ferry the plane back. Pray that the Lord would be honored, glorified, and that His name would be made famous with these tools that He is blessing us with. Anticipate with us the way these planes will meet the needs of the needy and provide the greatest news ever- God loves them, and they are not forgotten!

God loves you, yes, you, who is reading this post from a computer, and you are not forgotten!
