NTM Aviation

We just arrived at the New Tribes Mission Aviation Centre   What a joy and privilege it is to be here.  NTM Aviation has been such a blessing to our family and was such a big part of our lives when we were in South America.   All those years of living in a remote location meant flying in small six seater planes.   NTM Aviation was our life line to the outside world.  All of our food, other supplies, mail (before there was anything called email), family, friends, and volunteers came in via a small plane.  If there was a medical emergency we used a two way radio to call in a medical emergency.  If it happened to be a "Plane Day" (which sometimes didn't happen but once a month) it was always fun to make it out to the airstrip to connect with our pilots and to see what "goodies" might have made its way onto the plane.  As our family grew it was getting harder and harder to squish the seven of us on a six seater plane since we were eight with the pilot.  Many family memories were made on those small planes, on our airstrip, and with our pilots.  When we arrived at the Tuscon airport we had the GREAT JOY of flying on the new Kodiak plane.  This is a much bigger plane which seats 10, but it still brought back such precious memories of all our flights in and out of the tribe.  How we praise the Lord for the ministry that NTM Aviation has in helping to reach remote people groups with the gospel!
