At MMS Aviation, one of the planes used in Christian ministry we see regularly is flown by John Pfeifer. John, his sister Candy Pfeifer, and Mary Jane Carter are the gospel singing group, The Pfeifers. They're based in Washington Court House, Ohio where a long-standing weekly Bible study John leads, has turned into a local church. The Piper Aztec airplane allows The Pfeifers keep a fairly full schedule of singing engagements and still allows John to minister at the church. A team member of theirs hauls the group's equipment to their next engagement in a truck while John, Candy and Mary Jane get there (and home) quickly by plane.
On Wednesday, John brought the plane to our shop with a leaky left landing gear strut. In the picture you can see the left wing is a little low. (With aircraft, right and left is always from the pilot's point of view.) When John leaves the Aztec with us for maintenance, someone has to fly or drive to Coshocton to pick John up and take him back home. The pilot that usually flies up to get John wasn't available, so on Wednesday Candy and Mary Jane drove up to retrieve John.
The ladies had not been to MMS before and John gave them a brief tour, ending in our conference room at the world map that shows the scope of MMS Aviation's ministry. After I'd talked some about the extent of MMS' work Rena snapped this picture of me with my favorite gospel singing group, The Pfeifers.
