WHERE IT ALL STARTED

 

     This is where it all started 15 years ago:  In reading a book entitled Mission Aviation the seeds were planted in our daughter’s heart and mind for her future career. A few years later they blossomed in a very exciting first airplane ride (as she is pictured below), when her future instructor took her up for her first “unofficial” lesson, where he allowed her to handle the controls in flight and assist in landing. In time, after becoming a licensed pilot, she continued to pursue additional ratings, until that tragic day, when it all ended. [For those unaware, a drowsy driver fell asleep at the wheel, losing control of his

                                                                                        vehicle, went up an embankment in the median, and airborne colliding with

                                                                                         our daughter’s vehicle coming around the corner on a cold wet December day

                                                                                         in 2014. Perusing the website, you can read more of the detail of that horrible

                                                                                         day-- in our blog section, and/or the Radio & TV Interviews section in the                                                                                                 Parents Passion tab, or watch the moving testimony of Kimberly (in the 

                                                                                         Grief Testimonial section), the lady who providentially was with our daughter                                                                                           in her closing moments.]

​

                                                                                              Though these are now all in the memory banks, with a myriad assortment

                                                                                         of pictures she left us, it paved the way for continuing our daughter’s legacy 

                                                                                         through BWP Foundation's mission aviation ministry.  One of our unmet

needs after nine years is to make BWP's C182 airplane airworthy again. [If you have a special burden for mission aviation, reach out to us for more information.] Besides BWP's medical aviation ministry, our focus the last several years has been in prison ministry. We have truly been amazed how from its meager beginning six and half years ago, the demand has continued to grow year after year, and how God has supplied the means to keep it going.

We’d like to share with you a snapshot of what God hath done through BWP in 2025. Consider us too for  #Giving Tuesday.
