Michael Harnishfeger area coordinator of PrayerFlight

PrayerFlight, a program that started in Bluffton, recently announced that it met its goal of “50 Capitals," according to Michael Harnishfeger of Ada, who is one of the program coordinators. 

This effort was begun by a group of pilots and prayer warriors at the Bluffton Airport.
Here's the story:

On Sept. 30, 2006, a single airplane carrying four people set off to fly over the City of Lima and Allen County in Ohio. They departed from the Bluffton Airport on a mission to pray over the city and county. Returning from their inaugural trip, they continued this mission, soon to be named PrayerFlight.

A second flight date took place Dec. 2, 2006.

On Oct. 20, 2007, PrayerFlight board members were invited to speak at the National Day of Prayer Retreat in Colorado Springs, Colo., at the Focus on the Family headquarters where they shared PrayerFlight and announced the vision of “50 Capitals.” This vision has been embraced by the National Day of Prayer Organization and several Christian aviation organizations around the nation.

At noon Thursday, May 7, and in conjunction with National Day of Prayer, over 75 airplanes will over-fly every state capital city in the United States with Prayer Warriors onboard, praying for our nation.

This will be the 8th annual effort to pray over every state capital on the same day and in a prayer of unity and healing for the nation while in flight.

The mission will be carried out by volunteer pilots, in private airplanes carrying prayer warriors who are committed to the mission of PrayerFlight.
