NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

We are the Abbott family, and we are thrilled to be a part of expanding the reach of the Gospel to tribal groups throughout Central Sulawesi with aviation.

BRYAN is the Maintenance Manager for our flight program here in CS. He stays busy servicing the helicopter and keeping the paperwork up to date.

Specifically, our ministry with NTM Aviation allows to help:

Expand
Take the Gospel to the most remote tribal groups where it has never been before.

Enable
Missionaries need access to safe, cost effective transportation and supplies so they can focus on church planting.

Encourage
Take an active part in the spiritual encouragement of missionary co-workers and the tribal church. 

MELISSA is a full-time mom chasing her 3 blessings around daily. Yet she also enjoys her daily interactions with the neighbor kids, teaching piano lessons to MKs, hostessing, flight following, supply buying and being available for medical consultation.

4 years old ANDREW is a bundle of energy and very inquisative. He rarely stops talking, and is adding new Indonesian vocabulary daily thanks to his school interactions.  Riding his bike, drawing pictures, reading books and playing with his sister are a few favorites.

And last, but not least, MIKAYLA is our little princess. 2 years old, she is doing her best to keep up with her brother and laughs a lot. She is the talk of our neighborhood and is considered a boneka (a  babydoll) due to her bright green eyes and consistent smile.

Both are a blessing to their parents and we pray they will come to love the Lord and serve Him all their days.

Samuel, is our newborn.  He resembles his siblings in some ways, but is definitely his own person.  We are excited to get to know this little guy as he grows and learns about the world around him.

How thankful we are that our family can be a small part of a team that reaches Indonesian tribal people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We look forward to the day when we will worship together with people from every nation, tribe and tongue before the very throne of God!
