PrayerFlight Homepage

Pilots and Prayer Warriors alike are gearing up for our next flight and the mission is generating alot of
excitement and interest. The staff of PrayerFlight sent out approximately 40 press releases before the
last week of March, 2007 which has brought great interest in what PrayerFlight is all about. From local
newspapers to regional broadcast coverage and even national exposure in USA Today, PrayerFlight is
poised to raise awareness about the importance of prayer in our nation. God is getting ready to do a
great thing and with your help, participation and prayers - He will Heal our Nation. As the Bible says,
nothing is too big for our God and we are not too late, but we must pray. We must take God at His word
and obey His command to pray for our nation, pray for our leaders, pray for our people, pray for God's
Grace and His Spirit to move in and over our land. God turn our nation, our cities and our counties back
to Him. He can make this a great Nation once again; One Nation, Under God, with His blessings and His
Protection.

PrayerFlight on Good Friday is just the beginning. Join us, whether on the ground or on one of our
PrayerFlight Missions in prayer for our cities and for our nation.

After a week of ugly weather with icing conditions and more importantly - no flight conditions, God
provided us with a window of oppurtunity to do His work and His work we did. On Good Friday, April 6,
2007 one airplane took off from Defiance County to cover the four most northwestern counties, one
airplane took off to cover Ashland County while 8 airplanes departed Bluffton Airport to cover every
county in the State of Ohio, in other words, Mission Complete.

What a sight to see - airplanes lined up and departing within minutes of each other, all going their
separate ways to do God's work. Pilots and Prayer Warriors alike reported great success in their
individual assignments. PrayerFlight prayed over small villages and towns, large municipalities, great
open areas of scattered homes and even the capitol city of our state, Columbus, Ohio. We prayed over
the traveling public as we observed them traveling on our state's byways and interstates. We prayed
over schools and municipal buildings and frequently mentioned our elected officials and people of
authority. We prayed for the homeless, the helpless and the elderly from one end of our state to the
other, from the top to the bottom. To prayed over our military as they serve us and protect us, we
prayed for an outpouring of God's Holy Spirit to cover our land.

While some flew and prayed, others stayed on the ground and supported our efforts in the sky as they
prayed at the airport. What a wonderful day that God provided and we all sensed an even greater move
is coming. On Thursday, April 12 the staff of PrayerFlight will once again begin the planning stages for
our next flight and we believe that God has much more planned. We invite you to contact us with any
questions and how you can assist us for our future endeavors. We hope that you will join us as we do
God's work - it will certainly take the efforts of many folks for this endeavor to grow and expand.

On June 19, 2007 PrayerFlight covered the opening night of GPS, an event held in Montpelier, Ohio with
international speakers and hundreds of attendees. Our purpose was to lift up the event in prayer while
encouraging GPS participants to see and realize that many folks were praying for them and their very
important event.

Coordinator, Darla Kruse shared a wonderful vision of PrayerFlight many years ago, culminating in the
GPS Event and fly over by our pilot.

On June 22, 2007 the event was covered by 6 airplanes along with Prayer Warriors in a planned flight
formation that we call the "Flying Cross". The airplanes flying this event are formed into a cross as an
inspiration to those on the ground of God's love for them in that He sent His only begotten Son to die
on a cross for their sins. The Cross is a worldwide symbol of Christ's love and sacrifice and to see the
Cross in this formate is truly inspirational.

The staff of PrayerFlight requests that you continue to pray for us and our missions as we spread the
good news of Jesus Christ. We ask that you also continue to pray for the coordinators of GPS as they
share the Gospel and seek Gods favor.

PrayerFlight Names Next Major Mission "50 Capitals" (October 10, 2007)

PrayerFlight has named its next major mission "50 Capitals" - a goal of covering every state capital in
the United States in flight and in prayer. The mission is set to occur on May 1, 2008 in conjunction with
the National Day of Prayer. The board of PrayerFlight believes that this is a natural extension of the
work that is already being done by the National Day of Prayer and it is our desire to supplement the
excellent work of this national organization. We believe that God has ordained this mission and through
the efforts of PrayerFlight and the National Day of Prayer, we will call attention to the great command
that the Lord has given - to pray for our nation.

Through this web site, we are asking pilots and prayer warriors around the nation to join us in this great
endeavor. By registering to fly this mission, the staff of PrayerFlight will coordinate the efforts of pilots
and prayer warriors around the nation to bring this project to completion. Pilots and prayer warriors may
register by going to our registration page.

On October 19 and 20, 2007, PrayerFlight Board Members Michael Harnishfeger, Clem Schott, Jerry
Cress and Kenny Wortman had the privilege of traveling to Colorado Springs, Colorado to speak at the
National Day of Prayer Conference and to meet with NDP staff at the Focus on the Family
Headquarters.

The trip started on Friday morning with the members meeting at the Bluffton Airport in Ohio and facing
a day of constant and strong headwinds, as high as 40+ miles-per-hour. While on route to the Colorado
Springs Airport in a Piper Saratoga, our board members had the opportunity to pray over the states
along the route, including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Colorado. After 9 hours of
flight we arrived in Colorado Springs where we heard from Chairperson Shirley Dobson and joined the
NDP attendees for an evening of praise, worship and prayer.

On Saturday we enjoyed listening to several conference speakers and attended break-out sessions. For
the noon lunch hour we meet personally with Vice Chairman Brian Toon and Marketing Director Becky
Armstrong. During this important meeting, the board members were able to share the history of
PrayerFlight and more importantly, our plans for the future. This was an important and valuable
meeting. We believe that our partnership with NDP will go along way in meeting our goal of "50
Capitals". We will keep our readers advised of this important partnership.

After our noon meeting and several more speakers, Vice President Michael Harnishfeger addressed the
conference attendees to share our history and to announce our "50 Capitals" project to a very excited
audience. As noted by Michael, for the first time in the history of the National Day of Prayer, while
prayer warriors are praying on the ground, PrayerFlight will cover every state capital in prayer from the
air.

If you are interested in joining this effort, please visit our registration page for the "50 Capitals"
Project. If you would like further information or would like to request a speaker at your event, please
use or request a speaker page.

Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project.

PrayerFlight is pleased to announce that our goal of "50 Capitals" has been met. On May 1, 2008 at
12:00 noon and in conjunction with our National Day of Prayer, over 50 airplanes will over-fly every
state capital city in the United States with folks onboard, praying for our nation.

On October 20, 2007 PrayerFlight board members were invited to speak at the National Day of Prayer
Retreat in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the Focus on the Family Headquarters where we shared the
history of 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.

According to Michael Harnishfeger, Vice President of the non-profit PrayerFlight, this will be the first
time in the history of the National Day of Prayer that a concerted effort will be made to pray over every
state capital on the same day and in a prayer of unity and healing for our 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 as directed by II Chronicles 7:14; "If my people, who are
called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked
ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land". According to Dave
McGregor, President of PrayerFlight, this is our mission - to pray for our nation and to trust God to heal
our nation.

PrayerFlight board members are quick to point out that that it is not where we are when we pray but
rather the sincerity and fervency of our prayers that God hears and answers. Our dedicated men and
women believe that it is from our perspective in flight that allows us the opportunity to observe God's
awesome creation and are reminded of our duty to pray for our fellow man, cities and nation. We
further believe that this endeavor will be a great reminder and inspiration to millions of Americans of
the duty and importance to lift up our neighbors, cities, states and nation through prayer.

As we have been reaching out across our nation, speaking with pilots one on one, we have spoken with
dedicated, excited, curious and friendly men and women who are ready to fly in one accord - to pray for
our nation. On May 1st we will have men and women flying all types of aircraft from old military war
birds to single person sky writing planes to ultra light machines, over-flying every state capital from
Maine to California, from Alaska to Florida, from Wisconsin to Hawaii, lifting up the greatest nation on
earth to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

If there remain folks interested in joining PrayerFlight on May 1st, please do not hesitate to contact us
by registering online.

On May 1, 2008 PrayerFlight successfully overflew every state capital city in the United States with the
help of over 70 pilots and many more prayer warriors. From New York to Hawaii, from Wisconsin to
Texas, from Alaska to Florida and all states in between, PrayerFlight planes took off from small fields
and large airports to pray for our nation. For the first time in history, on one weekend, airplanes
gathered above every state capital city with one goal, to lift up our nation in prayer.

In early 2007 the board of PrayerFlight received this vision to fly and pray over all 50 state capitals and
what better day than our National Day of Prayer? With the help of many organizations and the National
Day of Prayer, PrayerFlight has completed this historic mission with great success.

Pilots and prayer warriors from all across this great state have written to tell their awesome stories of
God's presence as they flew over their assigned state capital cities.

As a result of this historic event, many have already committed to next year's "50 Capitals" project while
the board of PrayerFlight plan on making this an annual event.

Along with the great success of this particular flight, interest in growing around the nation for an
expansion of the PrayerFlight vision with the formation of PrayerFlight Chapters. If you would be
interested in learning more about a PrayerFlight Chapter, please visit our page on chapters and fill out a
chapter form and one of our board members will get with you shortly.
