What A Fall

January 5, 2022

No, none of us suffered from a fall, but we can’t believe how fast the last half of 2021 was. Here is a brief recap: Paul has been busy in the hangar despite the ever changing restrictions and lack of trained pilots resulting in a significant decrease in flight hours. Maintenance used time to get […]

Quick Prayer Request

October 2, 2021

Much has happened in the past week and we felt the need to send out a brief update to dispel rumors and off load our regular future newsletter. Regions of Papua New Guinea (PNG) have been hit again with a wave of COVID cases and this time it has affected us here in the highlands. […]

Are We Royalty or Prisoners?

June 10, 2021

We landed in Singapore and worked our way clumsily up the jetway. Our almost empty Airbus 350 was a welcome break from our previous domestic flights, but we were fighting jetlag and needed showers and sleep. Airport employees, in full PPE, welcomed us by name and provided special bracelets identifying us as “transitioning” passengers. We […]

We’re Heading Back to PNG

April 1, 2021

This has been a long unpredictable year of change, but we finally received word late Monday night that our Papua New Guinea entry request was approved. YEAH! What started as a 90 day quick trip to close up Andrea’s mother’s estate and help settle a family member into a good housing situation has turned into […]

March 2021 Update

March 6, 2021

We thank the Lord for your prayers and support. We once again come to you with several praises and some new prayer requests. Praise: Paul was able to FINALLY take his Robinson helicopter class on the airframe in CA. He got back Thursday night and boy did we miss him. Having completed the engine course […]

Praises & Prayer Requests

February 20, 2021

Greetings (again) from southeastern Arizona. We can hardly believe that we have almost been here at the Ethnos360 Aviation home office/training center for 2 months. But things are moving forward and we wanted to keep you informed and ask for your prayers for the next several weeks. Praises: Paul was able to finish his first […]

Back To The Bascis

November 25, 2020

With our return to Papua New Guinea on the horizon (no dates yet but plans are being made so we will keep you posted) we recently started sending out short, weekly e-mail updates focusing on the who, what, where, when and why of the Wilson Family. Many of you have known us for years while […]

Road Trip – Check

October 17, 2020

Praise the Lord we had a great trouble-free road trip. We were able to spend almost two weeks with Paul’s parents in South-Eastern Kansas and get some much-needed grandparent time in. We enjoyed getting some “honey do” items done for them and lots of visiting. Speaking of visiting, we were able to see two of […]

What’s The Plan?

August 4, 2020

Once again, the theme in our lives is waiting. Oh, how we love to wait (sarcasm). It is not like waiting in a line for which you know what service you are going to receive. That would allow planning. This is the kind of waiting where we really don’t know what to do next because […]

What’s Up With The Wilsons?

May 15, 2020

First, we want to say thanks to all of your prayers! Andrea’s travels to Papua New Guinea (PNG) went smoothly. We very much enjoyed being reunited as a family and some of you may have seen pics posted to social media. There was a bit of fan fare as we celebrated mom’s return. As a […]
