Where Worlds Come Together

IAMA is an association of many incredible organizations, working to bring the love of Christ to a world in need. IAMA exists, in part, to represent this work to the general public at big events such as EAA Airventure at Oshkosh, or SUN’n FUN in Florida. It’s there that people are able to see the work, ask questions and get involved.

But it takes a lot of work to host these events. For years, MASA ( a.k.a. “Mission Aviation Support Association”) has been hosting IAMA at the EAA Airventure event with increasing excellence.

Now, a new opportunity has surfaced because of the generous and high-energy efforts of people like John Hoke and Robert and Teena Ray. John Hoke and the Ray’s have assembled a MASA – Florida chapter that will allow more mission aviation organizations to be represented at Sun ‘n Fun this year. Thanks guys, for the great work.

Thank you MASA and local Oshkosh area churches for your hospitality in providing all of our meals this week....meals for 400 EACH DAY! Wow!

A great day starts with a great breakfast at EAA Airventure 2009!

Thank you MASA (Mission Aviation Support Association) for you hospitality. Without you the mission community presence at the EAA Airventure 2009 in Oshkosh would be difficult to say the least.

Our days always start at the MASA tent (just behind hangar D in the camping area) with smiling faces and marvelous breakfast food. Local churches in the area combine their efforts and cater our meals. Because of thehuge niumber of aviatiors this year, we have three churches catering each meal in combination. That is teamwork!

Today I met up with my first flight instrictor from Moody Aviaiton, Nard Pugyao. Nard was a liot for many years with JAARS.

Next stop and next post will be from the Fly4Life tent. Stay tuned!
