Happy Birthday Month
Francis Asbury and Orville Wright!
One of the first Methodist bishops in America, English-born Francis Asbury devoted his life to ministry, traveling on horseback to preach and teach to those living on the vastly isolated American frontier. Alone in a new country, with no home of his own, Asbury rode over 300,000 miles--across rivers and through rocky, overgrown roads--shining God's light on the fledgling colonies.
When many Methodist clergy left America during the Revolutionary War, Asbury stayed. His tireless leadership saw the movement grow from 5,000 members in 1776 to over 200,000 at the time of his death, fulfilling the great duty of his call and shaping future generations. (1745-1816)
When
Orville Wright and his brother Wilbur set out to solve the problem of flight, they rec
ogniz
e
d
that success would come with careful observation, perseverance, and in
genuity. From experiments in their Dayton, Ohio, bicycle shop to test flights over the beaches of Kit
ty Hawk, North Carolina, the
amateur aviation enthusiasts risked their lives
and
worked tirelessly to solve the problems that had stumped the world's best scientists.
Together the Wright brothers designed and constructed a power-driven airplane and, in it, made the world's first controlled, sustained flights. As a result, the skies were opened and the era of aviation began (1871-1948).
