From our BFA Alumni about the search for their dad....
"Wanted to thank all of you for thinking of my family and keeping us in your prayers. For those of you who don’t know what’s going on, my dad, Jerry Krause’s plane went missing on Sunday on a flight between South Africa and Mali, around the island of Sao Tome, off the southern coast of Nigeria and the west coast of Gabon .
The US Embassy has started a search, along with the French Coast Guard as well as a few missions. Tomorrow is an important day for the search. Here are some things I’d like you to be praying for…
Pray for the plane to be found whether he is alive or with Jesus.
Pray for good weather so that the two search planes can go out as planned.
Pray that Sao Tome gets investigated by CAA South Africa so that the recordings tell the truth.
Pray for my family, as well as my grandparents, and especially for my dad.
Pray for data retrieval on his iPhone, that the battery will send off a signal and we can try to track it tomorrow.
Pray for Dad to have hope and strength and ministering angels around him."
UPDATE :About 10 am Eastern Time: “Continue to pray for permissions for the planes to enter the country to start the grid....so far Sao Tome has said "No".”
ReplyDeleteAbout 1 pm ET: “The 3 planes have 7 days of permissions!!! Thanks for praying! God be praised. If it is clear, one plane will fly around today. Let us praise Him for this. Keep praying for Jerry to keep courage.”

Stephen Straw Today's update: The first search flight covered the last 50 nm of Jerry's flight path to the island of Sao Tome as well as the final approach from 9 miles out, where they lost contact with him. They also searched the coast line in that area and near the airport. There were no signs of the aircraft. There have been boats in the water- not sure how many or for how long. Weather in the area stopped further flights this afternoon. Tomorrow morning, a 2nd search flight is slated focusing more along the coast and inland. Flight permits for additional aircraft has been secured should they be needed. Thank you all for the prayers.
UPDATE FROM FindJerry.com
ReplyDeleteJerry regularly uses an iPhone to communicate with his family stateside, and the iPhone was on at the time local authorities lost contact with the plane.
French communications organization Orange, who operates Jerry’s iPhone, shut his phone off remotely to conserve battery power but have otherwise been unwilling to help in the search and rescue mission.
Please pray they will cooperate and assist in finding him.
Friday morning, a second search flight is scheduled to focus more along the coast and inland. Flight permits for additional aircraft have been secured should they be needed. The black box transponder has not been activated yet, making it unlikely that Jerry crashed and increasingly likely that he was forced to land in hostile territory and impossible to use as a tool for Jerry’s rescue.
I loved as much as you will receive carried out right here.
