Yes, God Has Wondrously Provided!

July 12, 2016 by Phil and Ellen Koop

God just gave NTM Aviation an R66 helicopter for the Philippines!  You prayed, you gave, and God supplied.  On July 7, generous donors provided a highly capable R66 helicopter for the southern islands region of the Philippines.   It’s hard to believe it really happened!

Once again, God is showing His relentless pursuit of lost people by supplying a tool to take the Gospel where it has not gone before.

Accessing unreached people deep in mountainous territory of Mindanao or Palawan is tough.   Airstrips are out of the question.  Trails are non-existent.  To reach them, Filipino missionaries — some of them tribal people themselves — might hike for an entire day to get to some of these villages, cutting their way through the jungle and using roots and vines for hand-holds. But with the R66, these villages are a mere 5- to 10-minute flight from the lowlands!

The R66 helicopter, combined with NTM Aviation’s affordable flight service, will sustain translators and Bible teachers in these villages until thriving churches can stand on their own and reach out to others.

Not only that, the R66 can reach isolated outlying islands, whether to support church planting teams, supply medical help, or provide relief after the inevitable typhoons and natural disasters.

With your help, this R66 can quickly arrive in Mindanao.  Final outfitting, shipping, customs fees, advance training of pilots and mechanics — these are just a few of the costs to get the R66 in service.

But it is worth it to reach those who have never before heard the Gospel. Let’s trust God who provided the R66 to also get it to the field.  Click here to partner in the project.
