Two New Zealanders had their prayers answered when their plane ran out of fuel mid-flight and was brought down next to a “Jesus is Lord” sign.Grant Stubbs and Owen Wilson from Blenheim were flying in a microlight aircraft over Pelorus Sound, on New Zealand’s South Island, when the engine cut out.
“When you’re in a microlight if you crash, you usually die. I turned to O B (Mr Wilson) and he said we had no fuel,” Stubbs told the Marlborough Express.
“I asked what we should do. He said: ’You just pray Grant’.”
Stubbs said he prayed to God to get them over a ridge and find somewhere to land.
After bringing down the plane in a small grassy area, the men noticed they were beside a massive sign, about six metres high. On it was written “Jesus is Lord - The Bible”.
