OPEN HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

The York Daily Record (PA) has released the news regarding our Open House and Commissioning Event on October 24th, 1-3pm, at the Capital City Airport in New Cumberland, PA.

Here's how it reads:

Plane commissioning: The Straw family, who moved from York County to the west African nation of Gabon as missionaries, recently found a Cessna 207 plane for their air ministry.

Supporters and others can see Steve Straw, the plane and witness its commissioning 1 to 3 p.m. Oct. 24 at the Capital City Airport in New Cumberland.

Straw, formerly of York Alliance Church in Spring Garden Township, is working to get his ministry serving a rural hospital off the ground.

His hope is to shuttle medical supplies, visitors, government health officials and work crews over the distance between the capital city of Libreville and Bongolo Evangelical Hospital.

Here's the link to the article.

Also... thanks to an unbelievable airfare rate found by a travel agent and thanks to the fact that Lufthansa, who recently started service to Libreville, is now undercutting the competition with low fares, and thanks to a generous supporter who is paying half of the cost, STEVE WILL BE AT THE COMMISSIONING EVENT!!! I hope to see you there!!!

NOTE: A donation of T-Shirts with our Logo (in French) was made, so we are offering these T's at the event for a suggested donation of $15 each. These proceeds will go to support our live-saving program.
