NTM missionaries are working on the paperwork necessary for a Helimission pilot.
On Thursday, while on a flight for NTM, Andrew McCain landed because of bad weather. Because he landed in a restricted zone, Indonesian authorities checked his paperwork and detained him, saying his paperwork was not in order. McCain was allowed to go to the NTM guest house while the situation is worked out.
McCain's 12-year-old daughter, Tiffany, was with him on the flight and is also at the guest house, where both are being taken care of.
NTM missionaries were under the impression they had obtained all the paperwork necessary for such a flight, but new requirements may have been put in place due to recent terrorist activity.
Helimission is Switzerland-based Christian relief and development agency. Andrew McCain's parents live in the Central Florida area.
