AIM AIR Accident- Request for Prayer

Missionary pilots put their lives on the line just about every day and we as a family certainly were made aware of that when my brother-in-law was a pilot in the Philippines for 15 years and we saw pictures and heard about all that he did. They constantly need our prayers. Yesterday there was an accident in Nairobi, Kenya where an Africa Inland Mission Air pilot was killed and two passengers were injured. Please pray for the pilot's family and for those who were injured and their families also.

AIM AIR Accident- Request for Prayer
August 02 2009


An accident occurred on August 1, with an AIM AIM Cessna 206. It occurred around 2:30PM (EAT) near the Nairobi Wilson Airport. There were four people on board; AIM AIR pilot Frank Toews, AIM AIR mechanic Ryan Williams and two Americans. At this time there is still medical evaluation being done but this is what we know: The two passengers have some broken bones, minor burns, cuts and bruises. They are both being kept in the hospital for treatment and further evaluation. Ryan Williams' injuries currently include a fractured pelvis, multiple contusions and some significant burns. However, his prognosis is good and he is receiving good medical attention in Nairobi. Frank Toews, the pilot, did not survive the accident and has gone to be with the Lord and Savior whom he loved dearly and served well.

Please pray with us, specifically for the timely return for health of those who are injured, their families, and particularly for Frank's wife and 4 children as they trust God for strength and comfort during this difficult time.

We are trusting God, with all of you, to show Himself to be good, even beyond our expectations and understanding of what good could mean, in a situation like this.
