29. Samuel Pierpont Langley (1834 - 1906), is often used as a
contrast to the Wrights. He had a dream of having men fly. He had
funding, he had the media. Both attempts at launching his man-flying
equipment failed.
His critics attribute his failure to his desire to make profit and not to
help humanity.
He died a broken and disappointed man.
30. Wilbur and Orville Wright had no college degrees, they had no
fame. In 1903 the Wright brothers achieved the first powered,
sustained and controlled airplane flight; they surpassed their own
milestone two years later when they built and flew the first fully
practical airplane.

31. Last Word
People are at the core of God’s
heart. If they take center stage
in His, they should in ours too.
Our success in life is highly
dependent on how much of
the Father’s investment in us
we are willing to dispense for
the good of our church,
members of our team and the
unsaved world.
32. Last Word
I sincerely pray that this
training has revitalized
our resolve to being all
that God wants us to
be.
