What a privilege we have, as redeemed followers of our Lord, to serve Him and bring glory to His name! We never could have done that before our redemption; nothing we could have done could have honored Him. We now have the opportunity to glorify Him in everything we do. May we make the most of it!
In serving as an instructor at Spokane Turbine Center, I had the opportunity to gain CFII (Certified Flight Instructor with Instrument rating) certification. I passed my oral exam and checkride last week and now have the opportunity to serve in a couple new ways. Primarily, for the time being, I may begin the training process to serve as an instructor in our full-cockpit, full-motion Kodiak flight simulator for the missionary pilots coming through our facility for turbine training. This will relieve part of the training load from our two primary instructors. It will also allow me to eventually serve in the role of Instructor Pilot with the mission I join overseas, which is often times a huge need.
It's so exciting to see details like this come together as I take one more step closer to serving as a missionary pilot. Thank-you all for your prayers, encouragement and support, without which this would be impossible. This is a team effort, as together we serve with all our hearts, for the glory of our Lord who enables us to do so.
