This past couple weeks I had the opportunity to see more of the country of Indonesia. My Aunt and Uncle were here from Canada for a visit and so we made the most of our time. We spent the night camping at the foot of the Krakatao Volcano, found some good places to snorkel in Sulawesi and spent a few days, including Sunday worship, in a tribe. Deadly volcanoes and strange fish are definitely cool, but the best thing was getting to see the tribal church functioning on its own and going strong. Being a part of a support ministry, I can sometimes loose sight of why I do what I do. Visiting this tribe was a good reminder of what its all about!

The flight program here continues to throw curve balls at us. We are in the process of trying to replace our avgas burning airplanes with ones that use jet fuel. To make a long story short, this means that we are no longer using the airplane that I had been flying. On the bright side, after months of trying, we were finally able to get another shipment of avgas delivered. Our hope is that this will tide us over until we have the new jet fuel burning aircraft up and running. Please pray that this process goes quickly and smoothly as we would all like to see the days of high priced avgas behind us.

Towards the end of November I will be heading back to the USA to spend about a month with family over the Christmas holidays. I am looking forward to the break and will enjoy seeing some friends and family again. Pray for safety in travels. (and for that elusive first class upgrade too… hehe)

I thought you all might like to know: NTM Aviation’s first Kodiak is now rolling down the assembly line with delivery expected in December or January. We look forward to the day when we can be using Kodiaks here in Indonesia for the sake of the Gospel.
