Michael Harnishfeger area coordinator of PrayerFlight

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, April 26, 2015

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.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, April 23, 2015

In an interview with Tom Miller, Chief of the Ada Liberty Ambulance District, we learned how many runs they make, how it is funded and organized, and how fully equipped it is to serve residents of the village and township.

How many runs do you make?
Nearly 600 annually.

Where do you get the money to operate?
Mostly by billing private insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid. There is an Ada/Liberty tax levy. We receive some gifts and grants. We get donations from ONU, and they work very well with us.
