I consider myself a pretty strong christian and have been attending COTM 20 years, but when our daughter and her husband moved away to become youth pastors in ND. I experienced lonliness like never before. When my grandson Elijah was born, this saddness seemed to engulf me, that’s when I began to ask God for help. It was an 18 hour drive so twice a year was a good year. While visiting in May of 2008 Elijah and I were driving by the airport and I said out loud “I want God to give Papa an airplane” then two years old he replied “papa got and airplane” This became our daily ritual every time we talked on the phone or on line “By faith papa got an airplane gonna take Elijah for a ride in it, We are tithers and know the power of the tithe. I wasn’t going to be guilty of not asking so I made my request known. Last fall a friend approached us and asked if we would be interested in a partnership of a twin engine cessna 310 and we took Elijah for his first ride in January. God is so Good!
