History happened on Labor Day weekend. Right here in Missouri missionary aviation changed forever. The whole school, town and surrounding area were invited to come to the airport to get information, view, and for some, take a flight in the new plane call the Kodiak.
This plane will make missionary aviation much easier and less costly. The Kodiak plane runs on less expensive fuel, lands on a shorter airstrip and uneven terrain, and is able to operate in humid and hot weather. Not only that, but it can also hold 8 passengers and their cargo unlike other bush planes that can only hold 6 passengers and limited cargo.
This event was held to celebrate New Tribes Mission getting the first of 14 Kodiak planes. The highlight of my day was having an opportunity to take a short flight. As we took off and the trees quickly fell beneath my feet, I was overcome with a smile that I could not get off my face. I was thinking to myself, “Someday real soon I will be flying over my tribal village." To think about it was kind of scary, yet exciting. Getting my first taste of my transportation for the future made it more of a reality. I know who my God is and with Him leading my life there is absolutely nothing to be anxious or worried about. With God leading my life I am bound for an adventure! I am just holding on for the ride and enjoying the company. He promises to "never leave me or forsake me."
After we landed and I returned my feet to solid ground, I thanked God for the tool that He has given us in the Kodiak. But it is only a tool. No matter how many planes we buy or technology that is discovered it still takes people to bring the gospel to those who have never heard. Planes cannot teach God’s Word.
Please join with me in prayer for laborers to be sent out. God commissioned this responsibility to us believers. Please pray…the harvest is ready.
