Charles A. On April 1, 2008 . (Quote) "Chuck-JOHN EL and Nancy-TONI and NOP, Greetings in Jesus Christ's Name. In accordance with Deut. 16: 16 and events related to Passover I am sending a special tithe to the NOP. Thank you both and all in the NOP who have been praying for me and other soldiers engaged in Iraq and around the world. On the 27 ` " of March the insurgents cut loose pretty good. It was interesting to say the least, However our prayers and JESUS CHRIST's grace protected me and my crews on that day from the arrows that flyeth by day. On departing the hospital heli-pad in the Green Zone, three rockets (arrows) were aimed at me and my two aircraft (we travel in pairs). They impacted the ground in front of us, having to turn to avoid the blast on each occasion. If we would have been just a few seconds faster we would have been in their path. (Jesus' Angels out in front and surrounding us). The 27 t " was the busiest day for our Med Evac company since we have been here. On another trip into the Bag Dad CASH (hospital) shortly after we departed several rockets hit the pad. Depending on our patient's status we have to land at the Hospital there even when they are under attack. Fun, fun. Again, thank you ALL for your prayers. Also looking for discernment of whether I should remain in the Army or resign. Being deployed in itself is bearable but the in between times back in the states we are so busy; I have not really had the opportunity to prepare for future events. Would love to hear any discernment on this. May the Lord Bless and Keep you all. P.S. Many of you have written and sent emails and I sure appreciate it. I have about 15 letters I still need to reply to. Sometimes get too wrapped up in events here to take ti me to get responses back out. However it always brings a smile to a soldier's face when he receives mail. GOD BLESS. Charles Andrews. In Iraq. (Unquote)
