On Thursday, March 4, 2010, we received official permission from the Civil Aviation Authority of PNG that allows us to fly the Cessna 206 in Papua New Guinea! An Airworthiness Certificate was granted, along with a Registration Certificate, and they also approved our Flight Manual. Many people in the aviation industry in PNG helped us get our paperwork in order, especially SIL-PNG (Summer Institute of Linguistics) who has also graciously agreed to perform our maintenance and routine inspections on the aircraft. Special thanks to the SIL guys as well as the Civil Aviation guys that helped make it all come together over the last six weeks.
An airplane…a hangar…an almost-completed runway…just four years ago, it was all a dream. Thank all of you that helped make it possible!
We have a flight scheduled to take our national preachers on March 15 to Menyamya for a week-long evangelism outreach to the northern end of the Kamea tribe. Pray that everything works out for that trip; and pray that God will receive honor in this new aspect of ministry transportation.

We live in the most entertained generation of history—yet the most bored generation. How does that work?

A trip down the major highway in PNG really stresses the invaluable asset that the airplane is in this country. If the highway is like this, just imagine trying the “side roads”!
Today was the first time we flew the plane into the Land of the Kamea.
Photos and video of the first flight as P2-TMK!! An hour and a half and three takeoffs and landings later… Taxi back into the ramp. Special thanks to Jonathan Federwitz and SIL Aviation for providing the training. (new photos of the dedication were added Monday, March 22nd)

The plane is so beautiful! What a blessing and proof of God’s faithfulness to answer prayer and provide needs. We pray that much fruit will be harvested as you use this marvelous tool for evangelism.
Everyone here at the Volksmission Bludenz Austria are shouting and praising the Lord! We are absolutely thrilled at what the Lord has done! To God be the glory!
Praise the Lord for His mighty works! I don’t often get to see pictures of a miracle. Fly safe Matt and keep the greasy side down.
I am really happy for you guys. I pray the Lord uses this plane for His honor and glory.
