Jesus Is Lord Balloon Ministries

When my wife “Teresa” and I got marred back in 1995. I had planned for us to leave the wedding in a Hot air balloon, but the weather did not cooperate

I wanted to do something special for my wife, so I looked into taking her on a balloon ride before it is was to late.

The prices that I found was $400 per person. = $800 for the both of us.

I sent an email to the Balloon Federation Of America to see if any of their members would be able to help us with a possible cheaper rate that we could afford.

On 10/02/14 I got a call from a man by the name of Don Bell. He said that, the email had been forwarded to him and that he wanted to help.

He said that he runs the Jesus Is Lord Balloon Ministry out of Lexington SC and would like to take up for a ride, at no charge to us. He said that he was lead to help out.

I talked to my wife about it and she said that the 3 Hr. ride there and back would just be too much for her.

I called Don back and thanked him for the offer, but the long ride would be just too much.

Don then said that he had already made arrangements for him and his crew to come to our small town to take us up in the balloon.

Don set up his balloon, less than 2 miles from our house. When we got there, they were just setting up the balloon.

When the balloon was up, I picked up my wife out of the car and carried her over to the balloon and the other men there put her wheelchair in the gondola and I lifted her up and over into her wheelchair.

Then we were up, up and away. We stayed up about 30 min, passing right over our own home.

The 30 min right was good enough because I do not think that she needed to be out of her hospital bed for very much longer.

I do not think that anything else that I could have done for her, could have made her more happy that this experience.
