  âThe best part of my life is when Iâm coming down with a patient and Iâm
 close to landing to where I know theyâll get help and theyâre still alive.
               That in itself is priceless.â â Gaston Ntambo.

Aviation ministry offers hope to Congoâs sick

   LUBUMBASHI, Democratic Republic of Congo (UMNS) â Gaston Ntambo, a United
   Methodist missionary, is the pilot for Wings of the Morning, an aviation
   ministry supported by the church. Founded in 1960, the ministry is often the
   one hope the sick, wounded and dying in remote areas of the country have for
   reaching lifesaving medical treatment.

Lambuthâs accreditation appeal denied

   JACKSON, Tenn. (UMNS) â United Methodist-affiliated Lambuth University
   announced Feb. 24 that the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has
   denied the universityâs appeal to restore its accreditation.

   For now, the university has secured a preliminary injunction order through
   the U.S. District Court in Atlanta to maintain its accreditation.

   âThe preliminary injunction order ensures that Lambuth's accreditation
   remains in force while the university pursues a legal case with SACS and
   examines other options,â Bill Seymour, the universityâs president, told
   faculty.


Perkins names laity award winner

   DALLAS (UMNS) â Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University
   has selected Jackie A. Strange as the 2011 Woodrow B. Seals Laity Award
   recipient. The award recognizes a U.S. layperson who embodies the Christian
   faith and service to the church. Strange will receive the award March 5
   during the three-day Perkins Theological School for the Laity.

   Strange, a lifelong United Methodist, served as deputy postmaster general of
   the U.S. Postal Service from 1985 to 1987. In that role, she administered an
   organization of 800,000 employees and a $32 billion budget. Now retired, she
   resides in North Carolina.


Agency leaders elect new convener

   NEW ORLEANS (UMNS) â The General Secretaries Table, a group composed of the
   top executives of The United Methodist Churchâs 13 general agencies,
   unanimously elected Gilbert C. Hanke to serve as the groupâs convener.
   Hanke, the top executive of the denomination's commission on United
   Methodist Men, will serve in this additional role through the end of the
   2009-2012 quadrennium. He was elected during the groupâs Feb. 15-16 meeting
   in New Orleans. He succeeds Neil M. Alexander, president and publisher of
   The United Methodist Publishing House, who held the post for four years and
   had earlier announced his intention to step aside in light of other
   churchwide responsibilities.
