• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I think I've posted this before, not sure. We used to have a missionary at our church periodically, nicest man you'd ever meet. His ministry was flying his small plane into extremely remote places in Mexico and bringing medical supplies and food, while sharing the gospel with them. On one such incursion, he was getting ready to take off from an airport, when he noticed a large group of men standing apart, he thought he'd take the opportunity to talk to them. The young man who was helping him noticed where he was headed and begged him to come back. He said he walked up to the men, gave them each a gospel tract, and told them Jesus loved them. When he left them and went back to his aid, he said he was white as a sheet. The young man said something like, "I can't believe they let you walk away. That was Chapo Guzman."

Let me guess.. his ministry did really well after this return flight that had “empty cargo space” after delivering the Bible’s and medical supplies and then meeting a drug lord?
:). Good story though.

I believe his ministry did very well until he got to old to fly. My pastor went with him a few times, and said that we wouldn't believe the places he would land his plane. Little dirt roads in mountain passes and such, visiting villages that didn't even have electricity, much less an airport.
