As You Retire, Lee - Masi Cho, Thank You!
Dear Lee:
I have a mixed response to your
resignation.
You are the heart and soul of On Eagle’s
Wings. It was your experience and your
dream that made it possible. You had the
dream. You shared the dream. You asked
for help. You showed the way. You fly
the plane. You visit the people who are
the object of our ministry. You raise the
funds. You know supporters from pole
to pole. Your presentations in sermon,
conversation and otherwise have captured
the imagination of hundreds. And you’ve
brought the board along, made us a part,
shared that dream. Your leaving is a giant
shift for all of us who are part of On Eagles
Wings.
However, I also rejoice with you in your
decision to retire. You know it is time for
you to shift the focus of your life, to give
more time for Lee and Sarah together.
Dear Members of the On Eagles Wings Boards,
It is with many mixed emotions that I am writing
to notify you that I will be retiring from my
position as On Eagles Wings Executive Director,
effective June 30, 2008.
Thank you for the life changing opportunity you
have given me to help create and establish On
Eagles Wings as a faithful and effective tool for
ministry. The people of the North and everyone
in the On Eagles Wings family have touched me
in ways that will provide a lifetime of wonderful
memories. It has been a privilege to be a part of
such a nurturing, diverse and faithful ministry
family.
From our first days of dreaming and planning,
God has been present to make a way and to guide
and sustain us with His love. I pray that the staff,
members of the boards, volunteers, donors and
most importantly, the people of the North will
feel God’s peace and presence as He continues to
make a way and lead On Eagles Wings in the days
ahead.
Thank you, my friends, for the privilege of
walking with you. I have been truly blessed.
Dear Lee:
As President of the U.S. Board, I
acknowledge your letter of resignation/
retirement as Executive Director. I, too,
write this letter with mixed emotions,
and, speaking for past and present Board
members, it is with both sadness and
joy that we accept your letter. From its
inception, you have guided On Eagleʼs
Wings on a journey few of us could
have imagined. Your dream became our
dream, and with Godʼs rich blessings,
so many others have come to know
the peoples of the North and the many
amazing ways they can be touched and
served through this ministry.
You have prepared us for the transition.
We rejoice with you that you will be

that, with Godʼs ever present help, On Eagleʼs Wings will continue your
dream and continue the ministry.
Thank you for being a dreamer, a visionary and a preacher of story.
And thank you for helping that dream come alive in our own lives.
Thank you for your vision, your inspiration, your leadership, and your

we are privileged to know you and work with you.

The dream continues...
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under
heaven…
Ecclesiastes 3:1
I think there is also a time to hold on and a time to let go. After
many quiet moments of prayer and reflection I have discovered
that it is time for me to let go and retire from my position as
Executive Director of On Eagle’s Wings. It is time to shift the focus
of my life.
As my son was growing up I had a difficult time thinking about
the day when he would become an adult and leave home to find
his own way in the world. Selfishly, I wanted him to stay. It felt
safe. It felt secure. It felt like home. As he grew and became a
caring responsible young man, I slowly began to realize that I
needed to let go so that he could become all that God was leading
him to be. I can still feel my tears as he hugged
Sarah and me and left home to find his way. He is
a good man.
I feel those tears again as I let go of On Eagle’s
Wings so it can find its way and become everything
God is leading it to be. They are sad tears but
good tears. God has blessed On Eagle’s Wings in
ways that I never imagined when a small group of
Canadians and Americans from many cultures and
denominations met to dream, share a vision and
plan ways to create a new ministry. From that first
day God has made a way. I have learned a lot.
A First Nations chief from the Northwest
Territories spoke about the survival of aboriginal
people in one of the harshest climates in the world.
He said, “We are strong like two people.” That’s an
important lesson to learn. We never accomplish
anything alone. The history and future of On Eagle’s Wings is not
my history or my future. It is our
history. We are staff, northern
and southern Christians, board
members, volunteers, those
who serve and those who make
our serving possible. AnnE
Zimmerman is a great gift of
God to On Eagle’s Wings. As
she becomes the new Executive
Ecumenism in the North is not so much a question of
meetings and discussions but rather a question of doing
things together. The members of On Eagles Wings have given
the Catholic Church a wonderful opportunity to practice
ecumenism. The missionary spirit of On Eagles Wings is the
fuel that helps many lamps to burn a bit more brightly in the
dark night of our northern society. Respectful of Catholic
theology, and inviting and encouraging local cooperation,
they have shared the Good News of Christ with hundreds of
children who responded in kind.

Director, it will be our
future as northern and
southern Christians
continue to pray, to
dream, to work and
serve together.
The people of the
North and everyone in
the On Eagle’s Wings
family have touched
my life in ways that will
provide a lifetime of wonderful memories. It has been a privilege
to dream together, to create, to build, to break down the walls
between cultures and denominations, and to discover what God’s
people can do when they are joined together,
strong like two people. Thank you for inviting
me into your homes, sharing our lives, our
stories and our journey as the On Eagle’s Wings
family.
I look forward to the days ahead and sharing
a new and different role in the On Eagle’s Wings
family. Sarah and I look forward to being On
Eagle’s Wings volunteers. It will be a privilege to
serve as a volunteer pilot during Summer Bible
School and to renew friendships with northern
people and other On Eagle’s Wings volunteers. I
look forward to visiting churches to tell others
about our ministry and to invite them to join
Sarah me in supporting On Eagle’s Wings with
our prayers and financial gifts.
I have two plaques on my office wall. One
says “Imagine” and the other says “Dream.” They are important
words for me. Imagine, picture in your mind the world and the
lives of God’s people if we pray, walk, work and serve together.
I pray that AnnE, our staff, members of the boards, volunteers,
donors and most importantly, the people of the North will feel
God’s peace and presence as he continues to make a way and lead
On Eagle’s Wings.
Masi Cho, Thank You, My Friends,
At the center of that “miracle of love” there is a man whose heart beats at
the rhythm of the North. Lutheran Pastor-pilot Lee Berry, founder, has been the
driving force that keeps On Eagles Wings in full flight. For years he has shown
intelligence, determination, generosity and vision. He has been and will remain
a true friend of our northern missions. At the pulpit, his love for On Eagles
Wings and its missionary work inspires, convinces and makes people dream
dreams. At the control of his plane, he delivers on what he had promised. The
Good News is preached to the poor. The Catholic Church of the Mackenzie
Diocese is very grateful to all the members of On Eagles Wings who in the
course of the years have been part of our missionary team. We also are proud
to have such partners working in the same mission field. May that ecumenical
association flourish for years to come for the greatest glory of God.
- Roman Catholic Bishop Denis Croteau, OMI

The dream continues...
My friend asked me a very good question. “Why did you say
yes?” The question was regarding an official Call to Ministry
received from both the On Eagle’s Wings U.S. Board of Trustees
and the Canadian Board. The call was for my continuation
with On Eagle’s Wings but, now as the Executive Director.
Why would I say yes? How could I even think of continuing
the dream of a founder? I reflected. The boards were waiting
for a response. I prayed. I consulted with mentors. In that
reflection, prayer and conversation I began to consider God’s
role in all of this.
To say ‘yes’ would acknowledge what God has already done.
God has blessed On Eagle’s Wings to share the love of Christ
and ‘walk with’ the people of the North, to ‘walk with’ prayer
and financial supporters, to ‘walk’ until two planes were given
so we could ‘fly’
and to ‘walk with’
many as they
learned to ‘walk
with’ others.
Respect between
cultures and
denominations
grew.
Relationships
flourished. God
gave a permanent
home to On
Eagle’s Wings.
We learned to
speak with integrity. We learned to be open and honest.
Because of what God did in the hearts of Lee, supporters,
boards, northerners and southerners, ministry staff and
denominations – the dream became a reality.
partnership. With
thanks, we will
draw from the gifts
entrusted to us to
continue.
Why do I say yes?
I say ‘yes’ because I
embrace the dream.
With Catholics,
Anglicans and Lutherans, aboriginal and non-aboriginal
people, I hold to the reality and task of working together as
God leads. The foundation is here. We have ‘walked together’.
God has not failed us. God may not answer all our concerns or
give quick responses to our challenges but God will be there.
Thank you for your willingness to step forward with me and
see what
God still
intends to
do. With
God’s
support
and yours, I
humbly and
with great
excitement
accept the
call to serve
with you as
the Executive
Director.
To say ‘yes’ to this call would recognize that God already
is in the life of On Eagle’s Wings. This ministry life is where
God is using many people’s gifts and God uses mine. God is
already here and we can realize that is true. God will not leave
us. Because God is here, I am encouraged to respond to the
collaboration of many voices to further the dream.
To say ‘yes’ would say ‘yes’ to where God is already leading.

staff position in the Yellowknife base to serve the Northwest
Territories and Nunavut. Curriculum writing continues as

AnnE Zimmerman
Assistant Executive Director
AnnEcdotes
I heard the handle of the doorknob as it turned. Sitting in
a small northern community church, I listened for a knock.
There was none. I assumed the individual at the door was
a local man. Knocking was my southern custom. It was
not the aboriginal custom in this village. A strong trust was
between the people. Doors are unlocked unless an individual
is traveling. Everyone is welcome as a family member. I,
however, had locked the door. I had pushed the lock in on the
door handle without even thinking – it was my habit. I rushed
to the door hoping the person had not left. As I opened the
door, I noted the back of a man as he walked down the front
step. As he heard the door open, he turned. “Oh, I thought
you must not be here.” He offered his hand in greeting and
told me his first name - Fred. I told him mine. He stood in
silence. Following his lead, I did as well. I waited. We both
stood looking toward the frozen river. I considered what his
reason for coming to see me might be. Sensing my own unease
in the silence, I asked, “Is there something I can do?” He did
not speak. I was learning to wait.
Finally, he turned and looked straight at me. I assumed he
was considering whether to tell me the reason he had come. “I
am here to ask, would you pray for me?” I invited him in – he
said, “No, just pray.”
Safety First
The day began like any other for Pastor Lesley Hand and
volunteer pilot Garth Muddle as they brushed off the frost,
took off the engine and wing covers and disconnected the
engine heaters in the On Eagle’s Wings airplane. It had been a
good visit. People were happy to see Lesley and Garth. It was
a beautiful clear and cold December afternoon as they took
off from the northern community, headed for the On Eagle’s
Wings base in Fort McMurray. On their way they stopped to
visit people in a small village.
It was just before dark when they left that village. There
are no runway lights on the snow covered airstrip and
Northern weather is unpredictable. As they flew into the
winter darkness, the beautiful weather suddenly changed to
low cloud and heavy snow. A check of the weather in Fort
McMurray told Garth that he would have to land using the
airplane’s instruments in the blowing snow and low visibility.
As they got closer to their destination, ice started to build up
on the wings of the Piper Aztec. For inexperienced pilots and
less well-equipped airplanes, that would mean turning back

FROM THE NORTH
We stood in silence a little longer. He then began to speak
of his homesickness. He had been away from his home and
family for quite a few years and had left in anger. Since leaving,
life had not turned out as he quite imagined. He wanted to go
home but was unsure. Unsure whether his family would be
pleased, unsure how he really felt about it all, yet he did know
he was craving home. Finally, he just looked at me and gave
a meek smile. I reached out my hands. He took them. We
bowed our heads and prayed.
“Amen.”
He lifted his head and smiled again. He began to turn
to leave. Then, he turned back. Softly he said, “May I do
something for you?”
“Pray for me.”
He nodded his head and walked away. Where he was going,
I do not know. Home, I hope. I do think of Fred often and
wonder if we will see each other again. God heard our prayers.
Fred and I ‘walked together’ as children of God. Two people
from very different cultures, on a step of a tiny northern
church, stopped and cared for each other.

pilots are trained for
flying in changeable northern weather. When Garth landed, he
remarked, “The Aztec is a great airplane!”
On Eagle’s Wings pilots have almost 65,000 hours of
experience flying in the northern “bush.” For our pilots and
our staff, safety is always first. We thank God for the excellent
airplanes and the skills and commitment of our On Eagle’s
Wings pilots who safely carry people and the gospel to God’s
people in remote northern communities..

Northern Connections
Meet the people of Red Hill Lutheran Church, Tustin, California
Just a few miles from
Disneyland, in the warm
sunshine of southern
California, Red Hill
Lutheran Church is about
as far removed from
northern Canada and the
ministry of On Eagle’s
Wings as you can get. But
the people of this large
suburban congregation
of almost 2000 and On
Eagle’s Wings are good
friends and important
parts of each other’s ministry family.
Volunteers from Red Hill have come to the North to teach Summer Bible
School and volunteer in northern communities. In addition to congregational
support, their Sunday School and the Red Hill Lutheran Church Christian
School also support the ministry of On Eagle’s Wings.
We thank God for the wonderful partnership of Red Hill Lutheran Church
and On Eagle’s Wings -- praying, working, supporting and serving together.
St. David’s Anglican Mission, Ft. Simpson, Northwest Territories
Regular support for On Eagle’s Wings comes from northern Canada as
well. One such congregation is St. David’s Anglican Mission in Fort Simpson,
Northwest Territories. Nestled on the bank of the Mackenzie River, this
mission of less than 50 people has provided spiritual care since the 1800s.
During a church service where a handful of church members gathered, a
small boy walked to the front of the sanctuary. Ceremoniously, he handed
over a red pouch full of nickels, pennies and dimes to a visiting Summer Bible
School teacher. “This is so the On Eagle’s Wings plane will come back.” St.
David’s is continuing
the generosity
expressed in that
gift. To acknowledge
what God is doing, a
‘thank offering’ is sent
regularly to On Eagle’s
Wings. We are thankful
for the generous,
consistent prayers and
support of St. David’s
Anglican Mission.

LESLEY’S STORIES
“SATURDAY SOAKERS” IN FT. CHIPEWYAN
On Saturday afternoons, the community hall in Fort
Chipewyan echoes with the sound of young voices as children
straggle in for Bible stories, games, crafts and music. “Saturday
Soakers” may be an unlikely name for a Bible Club, but that
doesn’t deter the 20 plus children who come for the activities and
to get to know Jesus – some for the first time. The ‘regulars’ have
learned that this is a safe place where they are loved and have fun.
Others come because they have seen the posters, or they come
with a friend, or perhaps they are just curious.
”Saturday Soakers is about reaching out to community
children, being with them, and doing something wonderful for
them,” explains Rev. Marjorie Glanfield. Along with other local
leaders, Missie and Gracie, and the On Eagle’s Wings’ ministry
staff, Rev. Marjorie leads each day’s program. Their dream is that
Saturday Soakers will grow into a monthly Bible Club led by local
adults from different churches in the community.
This dream began when local leaders decided that “we need
more than Summer Bible School. Our children need to know the
Christmas story, the Easter story – and everything in between.”
The journey began with Christmas and Easter mini-Bible Schools
led by On Eagle’s Wings’ staff and volunteers. The children
learned quickly and eagerly and asked, “Why can’t we do this
every month?” Leaders decided to try a shift from occasional
Bible Schools led by volunteers to an ongoing year-round Bible
Club program led by local people.
Saturday Soakers piloted the new On Eagle’s Wings’ GIGGLE
Sunday School curriculum – ”A Promise is Coming” (Advent) and
“What A Friend We Have In Jesus” – and discovered that children
are not the only learners. As they assumed more of the leadership,
local adults discovered their own skills and gifts, and Saturday
Soakers offers them a venue to pass on their faith to their children.
Saturday Soakers is a small afternoon Bible Club with a
big dream … and so much more! It is a catalyst for building
relationships both within Fort Chipewyan and between locals
and southern volunteers and resources. Those relationships offer
possibilities for new strands of ministry and growth – outreach
to the children’s
families, outreach
to seniors, healing
ministry, or an
invitation to others
to come, see, and
be involved in
what God is doing
in the lives of the
children.
500 New Horses for Pastor Lesley!
The On Eagle’s Wings airplane, Piper Aztec C-GEHH, that
Pastor Lesley Hand and our volunteer pilots use for ministry in
northern Alberta and Saskatchewan will soon be getting 500 new
horses – horsepower, that is. Aircraft engines must be overhauled
after 2000 hours of flying, and even though the engines are still
running well, we want to ensure that they are always in excellent
condition for the demanding conditions of northern flying.
Thanks to a generous $60,000 donation from a good friend of
On Eagle’s Wings, the two engines on C-GEHH, each of which
provides 250 horsepower, are being overhauled. When the
overhauls are complete, C-GEHH will have the power of 500
fresh horses to provide safe and reliable transportation for On
Eagle’s Wings staff and volunteers.
We thank God for the prayers and generous financial gift of
our friend. We thank God for Pastor Lesley and the skills of our
volunteer pilots, Garth Muddle, Will Brander and Jack Scheper,
who make it possible for On Eagle’s Wings to share God’s love
with people living in remote northern communities.
