Then NTM pilots taxied to the airstrip and flew it to NTM Aviation\u2019s center in southern Arizona. Eventually, the plane will head to Indonesia, where air service has been lacking for years for ministries in some remote villages.<\/p>\n<p>Without flight service, it can take missionaries a week or more to get into or out of the villages. Getting supplies and equipment is often sporadic and spotty. Should an emergency arise, there is no quick way out. This greatly hinderes efforts to plant churches among those remote people groups.<\/p>\n<p>While no airplane will ever share the Gospel, the Kodiak will go a long way toward helping missionaries do just that.<\/p>\n<p>As you hear stories in coming years about how Kodiak airplanes are helping expand the reach of the Gospel \u2013 saving lives for eternity \u2013 remember that you helped make that happen by your involvement in our ministry.
