Next Steps

Wow...my last post was in April.  That was 5 months ago.  I guess many of you have probably faded away from viewing my blog, and I'm sorry I haven't been up to date.

Just to give a brief insight into my lack of blogging -

Many of you know that I have been working with Samaritan's Purse on loan with AIM Air here in Nairobi, Kenya.  Over the past year or so, things have begun to develop such that SP has decided to separate from AIM Air and open their own base a bit further north in Kenya to better sustain their ministry in South Sudan.  While I find the move to be a good choice on the part of SP, my family and I have decided that we should no longer be a part of the SP team.  We feel that the Lord is drawing us into some different sort of service than what we are a part of here in Nairobi.  We don't know what or where that means, but we know that we need to make steps forward to remain in pursuit of God's will.

Therefore, we are departing Kenya this week to return back to the United States, where we will return to Raleigh, NC.  I will return to seminary to finish my Master's Degree next spring and we will actively pursue the next place of service that God has for us overseas.

I will be working at a place called Rampart Aviation, which is actually the new company that came our from Fayard Enterprises, my previous job before SP.  I will return to the DHC-6 Twin Otters and CASA 212 that I grew to enjoy so much.  I don't know how much blogging I will be able to do around the hangar there, but keep yours eyes open and I will do my best to continue this Silver Bullet blog, even if it is just something simply for aviation enthusiasts.

Thanks for all your support, comments, and emails.  I do enjoy getting emails from folks reading my blog and asking for info.  I gladly give it out when I can and if I can.  If anyone anywhere, inside or outside the USA has anything to add or if you need an A&P at your place, just give me a shout. :)

Cheers!
