Rachel turned to me in church today and said, "They've found Jerry - he's alive!" I wanted to hop over the four rows that separated us and get the rest of the story, but at that moment, church began.
You might remember that back in September I had written about Rachel's nephew, Jerry who worked
for SAS Aviation Service out of Bamako, Mali. He had been in
Johannesburg, South Africa bringing a company plane back. He was the
lone pilot and he never arrived back to Bamako.
Jerry had
been a missionary pilot with Missionary Aviation Fellowship for
twenty-three years. When MAF left Bamako, they sold the aviation
service and the new owner hired Jerry. He and his family stayed on in
Bamako until Jerry's disappearance. His wife, Gina, and their three
children have all since moved back to Indiana.
He disappeared on April 7, 2013 and now on April 13, 2014, I find out his family got word that Jerry is alive! Rachel did not have a lot of details - she doesn't know where he is being held, but he is thought to be alive. Pray with me for his safe return home! To God be the glory!
