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.
