Subject: God Chooses Aircraft in Australia

It is an absolute privilege to share with you the way God has lead in the acquisition of this aircraft.

Firstly to recap the events leading up to this point. Both the CBHI Board and the CBHI Aviation Board had concluded we should pursue the purchase of an older (pre 1985) Cessna 172. Even although a new model Cessna 182 had been found and deemed appropriate, it was agreed that its additional cost could not be justified at this point. By searching all advertising avenues six suitable aircraft were found. We set about the process of contacting each of the vendors and discovering what we could prior to creating a shortlist for inspection. This proved to be significantly more difficult than would reasonably be expected. Bear in mind we are in economic turbulence where luxury items such as aircraft are more for sale than they are being bought. That said, for each of the sellers we contacted - two had been sold within days of us contacting them ??? Two sellers would not return our calls of enquiry ??? Two sellers had decided to remove their aircraft from sale - one quite dramatically…ie after hearing of our intention to view her plane (we were the first to inquire), had a sleepless night and consequently decided the following morning to remove it from sale!

We began asking questions - over this two week period why had every door that we had tried to open closed? What was God telling us?

The Chocolate Soldier
or Heroism - The Lost Chord of Christianity
by C.T. Studd (1860-1931)

“Heroism is the lost chord; the
missing note of present-day Christianity!”

Every true soldier is a hero! A SOLDIER WITHOUT HEROISM IS A CHOCOLATE SOLDIER! Who has not been stirred to scorn and mirth at the very thought of a Chocolate Soldier? In peace true soldiers are captive lions, fretting in their cages. War gives them their liberty and sends them, like boys
bounding out of school, to obtain their heart’s desire or perish in the attempt. Battle is
the soldier’s vital breath! Peace turns him into a stooping asthmatic. War makes him a
whole man again, and gives him the heart, strength, and vigour of a hero.

EVERY TRUE CHRISTIAN IS A SOLDIER — of Christ — a hero “par excellence!”
Braver than the bravest - scorning the soft seductions of peace and her oft repeated
warnings against hardship, disease, danger and death, whom he counts among his bosom
friends.
