A: What do missionaries do when: 1. The country in which they serve has no postal service.
2. Their child is gravely ill and the nearest hospital is an 11-hour drive away. (Sometimes 2 or 3 weeks away by dugout canoe.)
3. The tribal people need a doctor, but the doctor has only a week to treat everyone and it's a 3 day walk, one-way, to their village.
4. Their car breaks down and it takes 6 months to get repair parts.
5. Their children who attend school in a neighboring country want to come home for the holidays.
6. The Missionaries would minister to many tribes in a week but it takes too long to get to the other tribes.
7. The flooded rivers have isolated their village again, cutting off and food or supply lines, as well as, any escape.
This is why missionary pilots go to the field!

Hi Jeff Hoover! My name is Robin Horton and I run Robins Bed & Mattress in Warner Robins GA. I met your father and mother in my store today. I sold Heyward a new mattress and we got to talking. I was a combat engineer in the Army way back when, and he said you were an engineer officer. Your folks were charming, and I hope they enjoy their new mattresses. He told me what you are doing now and I think that is fantastic. God bless you all and "essayons".
