We are off and running here in our new ministry with NTM Aviation based out of McNeal, Arizona.<\/p>\n
Ron began his NTM Aviation “career” in Papua New Guinea in 2008 after a few months of language and culture study.\u00a0 After spending a brief amount of time “turning wrenches on the floor”, as he would say, he was needed in the hangar parts room.<\/p>\n
From there, he took the place of a dear retiring couple who\u00a0had worked\u00a0in finances as well as Safety & Quality.\u00a0 He kept up with both responsibilities for the remainder of our first term on the field leading up to our first home assignment.\u00a0 He came back in 2012 to do the same, only to eventually wear the “Program Manager” hat for our aviation team in that country that became home to us as a family.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0brought us to\u00a0one year ago\u00a0when we were asked by our loving field leaders to return to the States in order to get to the bottom of\u00a0Tami’s health issues.\u00a0 Now Ron has transitioned into the Director of Safety role\u00a0for our International NTM Aviation team.<\/p>\n
We are thankful for God’s clear leading in our lives\u00a0to be a part of what He is doing around the world in this way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
