A day in the life of Kingdom Air Corps

Well, I have been in Alaska for two weeks now. I have settled into the routine, gotten used to doing things the Kingdom Air Corps way around here. I finally got my new computer, and it is really nice. Last week, Cameron, one of the guys up here, bent up his airplane a little bit. He got the plane for 6,000 bucks last winter. If you don't know airplanes, that is an INCREDIBLE deal. So he fixed it up over the winter and got it flying about a month ago. He has been looking for parts to fix it, and found someone with a similar plane in Palmer, about 45 minutes drive from here.

As it turns out, this lady, Jane, lost her husband and is trying to get rid of an entire garage full of airplane stuff. there is a lot of junk there, but a lot of treasures as well. Cameron told Dwayne all about this stuff, so last Saturday, about 5 guys went out to look at it. Dwayne knew that they didn't have any money, and if they decided they wanted any of it, they would have to do some fund raising.

They kind of went out on a limb of faith, because they hadnt been able to get ahold of Jane. They prayed the whole way there, but still no word. She wasn't home when they showed up. As they were heading away from her house back in to town, they were looking in each car that passed to see if they could see her. They even turned around and followed someone they thought looked like her! But they didn't end up finding her that way. So the guys went to lunch in town, and had a really good chance to pray and talk.

As they were getting up after lunch, Cameron's cell phone rang. It was her! She was home, but would only be there for about an hour. They rushed off to her house, praying along the way. As they were going, Dwayne was praying about the money thing. A thought crept into his head about how they would afford it. He began praying that she would be willing to accept a tax receipt.

The guys showed up at her house, and had a great time talking to Jane about life, what we are doing here at Kingdom Air Corps, and the airplane stuff she had. She asked Dwayne how much he thought it was worth, and he honestly replied that it would be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of 20,000 dollars. He told her that we have no money, and if we were to take it, we would have to do some fund raising to get her the money. I think he might have gotten the first two letters of the word "unless" in before she piped up, "Well, what about a tax receipt?" Dwayne, overjoyed, tried to keep his cool. "I think we could do that!" he said.

So, that is the story of how God provided 20,000 dollars worth of airplane parts to Kingdom Air Corps. It will take work to turn it into something useful, but it is a treasure to those who know how to use it.
