The true story of one man's journey in missionary service and some of the challenges he faced managing a mission aviation program in Papua New Guinea for three years during 2005 - 2007. With many photographs included, it provides an historical account of that period.Already an experienced pilot and missionary pastor, he nevertheless found himself feeling out of his depth leading an organisation thrown into turmoil by two accidents which claimed the lives of three pilot colleagues. Aware of evil intentions to undermine and destroy the ministry, he is constantly reminded of God's gracious hand at work in the midst of tragedy, even when he finds his own resources stretched to the limit. The author explores in some detail some of the management and operational challenges faced, and provides good insights into the practical aspects of an aviation operation serving the remote communities of PNG, while not camoflaging the mental health and burnout dangers faced.An honest and personal account of what it means to be a leader in a demanding cross-cultural Christian ministry. This story will be of real interest to people with an interest in aviation in remote areas, and Christians considering missions. The backdrop to the story is the battle against being overcome by the stresses involved.
For most of us the word "desert" conjures up images of barren wasteland, vast, dry stretches inimical to life. But for a great array of creatures, perhaps even more plentiful than those who inhabit tropical rainforests, the desert is a haven and a home. Travel with Michael Mares into the deserts of Argentina, Iran, Egypt, and the American Southwest and you will encounter a rich and memorable variety of these small, tenacious animals, many of them first discovered by Mares in areas never before studied. Accompanying Mares on his forays into these hostile habitats, we observe the remarkable behavioral, physiological, and ecological adaptations that have allowed such little-known species of rodents, bats, and other small mammals to persist in an arid world. At the same time, we see firsthand the perils and pitfalls that await biologists who venture into the field to investigate new habitats, discover new species, and add to our knowledge of the diversity of life.Filled with the seductions and trials that such adventures entail, A Desert Calling affords an intimate understanding of the biologist's vocation. As he astonishes us with the range and variety of knowledge to be acquired through the determined investigation of little-known habitats, Mares opens a window on his own uncommon life, as well as on the uncommon life of the remote and mysterious corners of our planet.
