School Update:

Friday, June 6th marked the completion of my airframe training and my 2nd year here at Moody Aviation. On the following Thursday, I passed the Airframe Written FAA exam. Then on Friday, August 1st I passed my Airframe and General practical and oral exams and received my Airframe Mechanic certification. Praise God! At the moment I have finished my first month of powerplant training. I have always been fascinated by anything that goes and a highlight of my childhood was working on all sorts of engines with my dad. Powerplant training focuses on the inner workings and practices for repairing and maintaining airplane engines and propellers, so I am super excited to see what this semester has to hold. Get ready for some sweet pictures of engine runups and big turbos!

Life Update:

Summer break was from mid-June to mid-July. It was sure nice to get a break after such a busy semester. After my written exam, I flew to MN to see Leah. We got to spend time with her extended family and then we went on an awesome road trip to MI to see our friend from RVA. It was a blast. Our wedding is only 5 months away! I’m so grateful for Leah and for such a wonderful time with her. After a week with Leah, I flew back to Spokane and then drove down to Oregon for a classmate’s wedding. Upon returning from that, I moved into a new apartment where I will live by myself until Leah and I get married. Finally, to top it all off, I received news that I was awarded a pretty big scholarship for the upcoming school year. Not only are God’s blessings abundant during school, but this summer has also been a true testament to His generosity and careful provision for His children. I am just so overcome with gratitude. What a great God we serve!


Praise and Prayer Points:

  • Praise God for His abundant provision in countless ways.

  • Praise God for the MAF scholarship.

  • Pray that I can get my 1st class medical for flight next semester (exam scheduled for September 23rd).

  • Pray for me as I begin this new semester that will be filled with new joys and new challenges.

  • Pray that I can balance between school, work, sleep, and church.

Verse:

To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the LORD I plead for mercy: “what profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!” You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O LORD, my God, I will give thanks to you forever! - Psalm 30: 8-12

Spring 2026 Prayer Letter

  Fader’s Winter 2026 Update Minnesota, Spokane, and all the States in Between Yup, we’re married! As soon as Isaac passed his powerplant written test (woot!) in the beginning of December, he flew to Minnesota, joining in on the chaotic wedding prep that Leah’s family was hard at work at- which included collecting more than 25 free Christmas trees for the wedding! And that was just one of the many ways God provided for us during the wedding season. (If you’re unimpressed, please go look up how much an artificial 6-foot Christmas tree costs haha.) A week before the wedding, Isaac’s family arrived from Uganda to help out with some of the final details and heavy lifting (the Young’s saved all the tall-person jobs for them). We also had many, many friends and family who sacrificed a lot of their time and energy to help us whip our wedding into shape- we can’t emphasize enough how much it meant to have your help. And I’m happy to say that our candlelit wedding turned out beautifully ,...

                          Spring Recap‘25 The overarching theme of this past spring has been God’s sustaining goodness. Welcome back to Isaac’s Newsletter! What a bodacious group of fellas I get to live with School Update: I am still chugging along in the airframe portion of A&P school but things are starting to get real interesting. I just finished sheet metal, welding, and instrument inspections and now I’m moving on to flight control rigging, hydraulics, and airframe inspection training. The end of airframe is nearing very quickly (June 6) and the stress of the oncoming testing is rising. I’m learning so much every day and having a blast doing it. I cannot overemphasize enough how much I am enjoying A&P school. All those times in Algebra class when I was dreaming of going to a school where I could get my hands dirty and learn how things work have come true. What a blessing! Cutting thick steel with the “gas axe”...

  Fall 2024 Welcome to my first ever newsletter! I’m so excited to share with you the adventures God has already pushed me through. Hang on tight! It’s always a wild ride! Past Growing up as a missionary kid in Africa, I always knew I wanted to return one day to continue to spread God’s Word to the unreached. God has gifted me with a passion for reaching the unreached and I hope to go back with a skill set to match it. Present    I am attending Moody Aviation in order to receive the proper training to serve as a missionary pilot and aircraft mechanic. Currently, I am in the midst of maintenance training on track to gain A&P certification in a year and a half.   Future   My goal is to become equipped with a specific skill set in mission aviation so that I can help take the Good News to people who do not yet have it. You are receiving this newsletter because I want to tell you of God’s incredible work and ask for your prayerful support. My parents were able to...
