Nearly two years ago Ethnos360 Aviation placed an order for a third helicopter for Papua New Guinea. The field has waited patiently and with eager anticipation. The demand for helicopter flights is increasing in Papua New Guinea as new missionaries move into villages where the Gospel has never been before. They rely on our pilots and helicopters to support their families for the many years that it will take for them to learn the language, translate the story of the Bible and teach these beloved people.
Last week, the helicopter was finally ready for pickup! Brian went with one of our mechanics, Larry, to the factory in Torrance, CA to receive it. They then flew the brand new helicopter to our main hangar in Arizona. The next morning, our team dug right in – parts were removed, holes started being drilled, modifications were underway. It will go through many weeks of modifications and paint to get it ready for a life of service overseas.
This was the 6th helicopter that Brian has picked up in the last 5 years! This is an amazing financial provision! We can draw only one conclusion: God is crazy about reaching the world with the news that He has saved them! It is such an honor to be part of this team that is supporting church planters in the deepest and spiritually darkest corners of the World with the news that God saves!
But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?” “And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news! -Romans 10:14-15
