Heaven Gains Another Angel!
Heaven has gained another angel! We are certain this angel was greeted with the words, “Well done, My good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23).
On the evening of March 15, our dear Pat Ivey transitioned to her heavenly home. Hearts here on earth are sad for our loss, but we can only rejoice that she is now out of pain, is face-to-face with the Savior she knew, loved and served so well, and is reunited with a host of loved ones who have gone before her. Among those are her husband, Joe; twin sister, Felicia; and a host of other family members and friends.
As news of Pat’s home going has reached our FCAP family, several immediately recounted how when they first met Pat she greeted them with a warm embrace and made them feel so welcomed, secure, and loved. That was our Pat! She was a wonderful helpmate for Joe over these past 10+ years, embraced his life, family and ministry, and was a faithful prayer warrior. Her words of encouragement, love, and reassurance in prayer brought hope and peace into the lives of many.
Please pray for Pat’s son and daughter-in-law (Seth and Daphne Brown), Pat’s three granddaughters and grandson, and the Ivey family in this time of grief and transition to Pat not being in our midst.
Over many years now Dr. Bill and Susalee Sasser have traveled into Third World countries taking dental/medical help and the Gospel to those in need. Bill is a retired dentist and Susalee is a retired Delta flight attendant. Both have been a part of our FCAP family for many years. It has been our joy and privilege to pray for them as they embark on these journeys.
Recently their outreach took them to Tanzania, where they ministered along side aBridge2Aid team of 7 dentists and 4 oral health workers from the UK. They share the following, “It was a good experience although challenging for Bill to learn the British system and use completely different dental instruments. He picked it up and did well. The dentists trained 6 Clinical Officers who have had a few years of medical training and who work in rural clinics doing various medical procedures…. We had one patient who had had a tooth ache for 5 years but did not have the means or opportunity to have it extracted….”
While traveling to one of their remote destinations, twice they encountered places where several vehicles got stuck in the road and the team had to go around them. From that point they had two more days of travel on these same roads. But God brought them safely through.
Shannon Jipsen has been part of our FCAP family for many years and is a Captain flying for UPS.

In February we celebrated the 100th birthday of our dear friend and brother in Christ, Tommy Taylor. Now only four months later we once again celebrate his life at a memorial service. Tommy went home to be with the Lord on Friday, June 23. Please uplift his daughter, Debbie Kasmerski, and the entire family during this time of grief. For those of you who knew Tommy, here is a 
This report comes from Boise Airport Chaplain / FCAP Field Staff, Warren Milanowski: “On Monday, May 15, it will be a year since our dear friend Terri Cortez went home to be with her Lord after a long battle with cancer. Today, May 10, we initiated a ‘Wall of Fame’ in our chapel and honored Terri. Gathered in the chapel were her husband, Ken; her mother, Jenean Hatch; and several of her coworkers and American Airlines manager, Randy Keen. I have attached pictures of all present and the plaque which is on the wall as you exit our chapel. The bottom of the plaque reads, ‘For Representing Christ at Work Through Meaningful Relationships and Quality Work.’ Terri represented her Savior extremely well wherever she went. Fond memories were shared as well as some tears. A local representative from the American Cancer Society was present. The plan is to add other employees who live out their faith in the workplace.”
