Our services are not limited to pastors and evangelists. We also serve lay people who minister through visitation and Bible study. Some villages do not have a pastor or even an organized church. It is a great blessing to these people when someone, especially another native person, is able to come and lead a service or a Bible study.
Our situation here is very unique within the United States in that roads are virtually non-existent. Air transportation is often the only practical way to travel from village to village, and scheduled flights do not connect all villages to the others. We regularly travel as much as 400 miles out from Our home base, and sometimes even further. Villages range in size from 50 to 700 people. But numbers are not a consideration here. These few need the Good News of Jesus as well as the many.
We, as pilots, are only pilots until we arrive in the village. Than we minister in any way possible. This could be anything from splitting wood or packing water to sharing a testimony in a praise service. Ministry is not limited to just preaching the Word. We also minister among non-Christian pilots by our own personal testimony and fellowship with this professional group as many of us are pilots by vocation.
