Monday, July 12, 2010 will be a day that WfC student and pastor of Journey Christian Community Church Rick Cobb will remember for the rest of his life. From that day on he will be a certificated Private Pilot (we’re trusting that all will go well). Pastor Rick has been actively preparing for that day since December 3, 2009, when he began his Private Pilot training program at Wings for Christ.

With lots of hard work, prayers and support from WfC, Rick is ready for his FAA Private Pilot Checkride, says Chief Pilot Monte Michael, who is Rick’s flight instructor. Monte says that Rick has been taking blocks of vacation time from his job to concentrate his training and make his push towards the checkride more effective. Rick took a similar approach before his first solo back in April, with great success.

Rick plans to continue his training as soon as he has built up enough cross country time to start the Instrument Flight Rules program. He plans to use aviation to facilitate church planting efforts all across Texas and even into some neighboring states.

Please pray for clear thinking, a sharp mind, good weather and a sense of fun and adventure on what will be a memorable day for Rick and the entire Wings for Christ family.
