MORE THAN A PILOT

Delivering supplies in Senegal

NTM missionary pilots often perform many tasks for their fellow missionaries besides flying planes into remote tribal areas.

Recently missionary pilot Dwayne Block wrote that he had been doing a lot of work to help the flood victims in Bolivia. Many families lost their homes, livestock and even their gardens to the flood waters. Dwayne and his wife Sharon and their two girls, Jessica and Jennifer, bought basic food items in bulk and then repackaged them in family-sized quantities.

After Dwayne flew the food into an area, village churches would deliver the bags to communities along the river with no airstrips. "They are traveling by boat and teaching different communities from God's Word and giving them food." Dwayne wrote.

Missionary Ray Finsaas flew into an Inapang village in Papua New Guinea via helicopter. He brought with him a translation consultant who helped evaluate the accuracy of Scripture portions translated into the Inapang language in preparation for teaching evangelistic lessons next month.

Ray was privileged to witness the excitement and anticipation among the Inapangs as they wait to hear the message the missionaries have to share with them.

Missionaries Ken and Cathy Hedvall, working with NTM Aviation in McNeal, Arizona, recently traveled to the Philippines and spent time listening, thinking, praying, and talking through plans and ideas for the future of the flight program. They asked for prayer for wisdom on how best to meet the missionary aviation needs that exist in the Philippines.

Pray for the safety of missionary pilots around the world serving the Lord through meeting the aviation needs of their fellow missionaries as well as many other important tasks.
