CGMedley Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 The search continues for a medical aircraft that disappeared over a Venezuelan jungle. Seven passengers were on board. http://www.adventistreview.org/article.php?id=2421 Quote
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted February 21, 2009 Members Posted February 21, 2009 Robert Norton is the pilot of this medical missionary aircraft that is missing in Venezuela. He is the only Adventist medical air missionary allowed in Venezuela due to dual citizenship with another country. His relatives have relayed the message that the government has ceased rescue operations, but private search teams are still at work. Please keep praying for this group of missing people on board the aircraft and also for the search and rescue teams.

Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
Woody Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 sorry pushed wrong button we need to pray that the plane is founded and the 7 people are ok.... dgrimm60 Okay ... I have to object. It's because of all these 'wrong buttons' that you are catching up with me as the top poster. I object. Keep them there buttons straight. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted February 21, 2009 Members Posted February 21, 2009 yes, dgrimm60. Venezuelan officials have not been happy having any missionary activity, even medical. There has been talk that the plane was sabotaged in an effort to rid Venezuela of its last Adventist missionary. Pray for all involved....

Key Guy Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I just received this email from my folks (in the loop, apparently): Hello Everyone, Here is a letter from Bob's sister. They have not found anything out yet. No sign of a crash site.But unrealistic to think they are still alive. I am a very positive and hopeful person but I know it's God's work and He is in charge. Friends, The outpouring of concern touches my heart. From homes, churches, and hearts so many of you have indicated that prayers are ascending in behalf of this desperate and sad situation. While I can't answer each of you individually right now, I thank you for writing, and for your prayers. The news I received last night is that while the search continued yesterday, nothing was found. There are groups of Indians looking in the jungle area where they think the airplane may have gone down. While I don't want to dash the faith of any of you, I do want to share this message from my heart. What happened on Monday is history. If Bob were alive he would have sent up some sort of signal. I do believe in miracles. Over and over God has sustained and protected. However, we are in enemy territory and Satan has been very angry about this ministry for years. In reality--and those of you who are pilots agree with me--there really is no possibility of them being alive. I know we don't want to think of the hard facts of tragic deaths, and long to hold tight to the belief that they will be found alive. Faith clings to God's hand when our desires are crushed. It holds fast to the fact that God is love and cares for our hurting hearts. Read the entire "faith chapter" in Hebrews 11. Those who perished by sword, famine, martyrdom had great faith. God doesn't always rescue. Sin runs its course. There are causalities on the battle field. I know this isn't the update message you wish to hear, but I've had to write it. My hope is anchored in God's Word and His promises. To these I cling, as I continue to pray for those searching and God's comfort with all the family and friends of those involved. God knows the desires of each of your hearts. Bob and Neiba's desire, should they be able to speak with you just now, would be that this season of prayer would be for the advancement of God's kingdom. Our entreaties to the throne room of the universe should be as earnest for the salvation of souls as it is for the return of the lost. May this time of prayer be a heart cleansing experience for each of us. Jesus coming is very near. God bless you and comfort you today. I will send out another letter soon. Barbara Quote
Woody Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 An account of this was in our paper on Friday March 6 . But it did not mention that they were SDAs. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Woody Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Yes. Isn't that interesting. And it was a fairly large piece in the paper. My local community IS quite religious though. So, perhaps that is why. Very few SDAs here ... but many other denominations. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
