FLYING TO GARDEN HILL FIRST NATION FOR ONE WEEK VACATON BIBLE SCHOOL

On August the 23rd, Bill Funk, our interim volunteer pilot, flew eight members from Interlake Christian Fellowship Church to Garden Hill First Nation Community to support the Jesus Name Church with a week long Vacation Bible School.
Garden Hill is a two hour flight by small airplane north-east of Winnipeg.



Due to we have only 5 passenger seats, it took two flights with a little bit of fuel planning, because there is no Avgas available at Garden Hill.

Thanks to the generous support of William at Jack Pine Resort (he let us use his private airstrip), we were able to cut on the distance to fly and the time.

"Bible School started on Tuesday afternoon and the children were very glad to see the team members and were very eager for our attention - they would follow us and hang onto the guy's arms.

For the Bible Stories we used a felt board - we had skits, object lessons and singing.

 The children really got into the singing - they would help holding up the song sheets and sang loud".
