What would you rather do? Hike for two days through the jungle, up mountains and down into valleys, and across rivers (don’t forget your 25 kg backpack!) or take a one-hour flight in a small plane with 500 kg of supplies?
NTM Aviation (NTMA) has been the aviation and radio division of NTM since 1969. NTMA provides safe, efficient, and cost-effective aviation support for NTM church-planting teams. This speeds up the process by which an indigenous local church isestablished.
NTMA consists of leadership, administrative support, pilots, maintenance technicians and avionics technicians.
Pilots take missionaries and supplies to interior locations - safely and efficiently. Pilots also minister as encouragers to the church planting teams working in remote areas. Without access to a neighbourhood grocery or pharmacy, these teams require equipment, medicine, medical evacuation, and mail to be supplied by air.
Maintenance technicians keep aircraft in excellent flying condition by performing all procedures necessary to comply with FAA standards, and the standards of the host country where they work. Keeping in mind the precious cargo that the planes carry, these technicians dedicate themselves to the highest standards of aircraft maintenance.
Avionics technicians service aircraft radio systems and equipment, high-frequency communication radios for the church planting teams living in remote areas, other electronic equipment, and sometimes computers. Often there are no telephone services in the jungle, which makes the radio a vital communications tool.
Do you see yourself in the pilot’s seat?
If the Lord is prompting you toward missionary service, but all you want to do is fly…perhaps we can be a part of what God wants to accomplish in your life.
