Prayer

Pray for our trip to California at the end of the year. We are going to spend time with our supporting churches. We hope to be an encouragement to them during our time together.
Pray for more pilots to join our team. We need helicopter pilots and fixed wing pilots..
Our original sending church (been supporting Brian since 1998) closed its doors at the end of last year. What an amazing relationship it has been! Pray for us to find new supporters to fill in the financial hole this leaves behind.
Pray for our Asia Pacific helicopter import. It is en route now in a shipping container. Pray for all of the paperwork and red tape that is ahead. Pray for careful handling of the container as it moves from port to port. We have 2 new helicopter pilots who have already been trained that are there waiting for a helicopter to fly so we can start that flight program.
Pray for Brian as he is working through planning for several pilot checkouts/trainings overseas in the first half of 2026. It’s exciting, but exhausting at the same time.

Praises

Brian completed training for Steffan Pyle who is now in language study in PNG. They are eager to get Steffan on the flight line as the team there is in desperate need of more pilots.
Our Brazil flight program is getting really busy! This means we are doing what we have set out to do – establish and maintain access to some of the hardest to reach people groups in the World.
Maycie is headed to Papua New Guinea for an internship next year. She needed to raise funds for the trip and she is now fully funded!
This year has brought beautiful mentors for our kids through the trainees passing through and the amazing community here. They also have coaches on the mountain bike team who are believers who are investing in them. As parents, we couldn’t ask for more!
This year we are planning for 7 of the new helicopter pilots that we’ve trained to begin flying overseas to boost our teams who have been woefully understaffed.
