New Tribes Mission Video



Check out this video from New Tribes Mission about missionary aviation.

"Because there were no roads in these areas ... It reminded me just of the time I used to hike over the jungle. What it would take us a full day, the travelling you could do four minutes in an airplane. And what I remember taking a week hiking took us about 46 minutes in an airplane."

Missions Emphasis Week

On February 15-18, Liberty University hosted its biannual missions conference called Missions Emphasis Week (MEW). To my delightful surprise SIX aviation missions organizations participated this year. These organizations were JAARS*, MAF*, NTB*, UIM*, AIM* and ABWE*. I had the privilege of not only hearing some of the representatives in class and at the airport, but I was also afforded the privilege of talking to many of these wise, godly men personally; one-on-one.

This years new addition to MEW, UIM, hosted Liberty's Aviation seminar during the conference. I met UIM's chief pilot David Wolf and Michael Busenitz who asked if I would be interested in a short term missions trip to Mexico with UIM to get a feel for their organization. This would be a uniqe opportunity if the logistics are worked out in the future for UIM to host a short-term aviation missions trip for Liberty aeronautics students.
