Seeking an adventure with God?
We had not been in South Africa long before I had done the necessary familiarization flights. I was now enjoying various flying sites with the small hang gliding community there. One day, several pilots had met at a site to fly. We’d set up our gliders on the top of a hill and were waiting for thermic conditions to develop enough for a flight. As usual, we were sitting near our rigged and ready gliders, watching the weather and talking to each other. We call this ‘hang waiting.’ Most of the pilots waiting were unknown to me, and as is so often the case in ‘hang waiting,’ we were all getting to know each other. I listened to others and told my own story, in which I mentioned that I’d recently arrived from England where I had been involved in a Gospel music group travelling around the UK and that I’d just joined an evangelistic mission here in South Africa.
