In hoc signo
Grant Stubbs and Owen Wilson, from Blenheim on New Zealand's South Island, were flying up the sloping valley of Pelorus Sound when the engine of their microlight spluttered, coughed and died. Both men called for the Lord's help.
Wilson said that the pair would have been in deep trouble if the fuel had run out five minutes earlier.
"If it had to run out, that was the place to be," he said. "There was an instantaneous answer to prayer as we crossed the ridge and there was an airfield — I didn't know it existed till then." After Wilson glided the powerless craft to a landing on the grassy strip, the pair noticed they were beside a 20-foot-tall sign that read, "Jesus is Lord — The Bible."
