New Helicopter to Serve in Mindanao

You have new brothers and sisters in the Manobo tribe of the Philippines!  They've heard and believed.  They are growing in their faith.  They are even supporting their own pastor, despite very limited resources.  They're willing to reach out.  But how will the Manobo tribal believers reach the remaining 50,000 people of their tribe with the Gospel? The other Manobo villages are even more isolated.  Manobo missionaries face long days of dangerous hiking through cobra and leech infested jungle each time they need to visit these outreach locations.

To build airstrips in each village is daunting.  Level land is hard to find.  Permits to fell the trees are impossible to get.  It would take years to build the strips.  The people are semi-nomadic, so the strips could quickly become useless once they're completed.

What could provide the best access to these pockets of people, nestled deep in the rugged volcanic mountains of Mindanao? How can NTM Aviation be nimble and agile, able to operate from small, temporary landing sites - something the current fleet of Cessna aircraft cannot do?

As NTM Aviation looked for answers to these questions, an idea formed in their minds. NTM Aviation has decided to position a Robinson R66 on Mindanao.  An R66 can operate deftly, needing only a small clearing to land.  Burning readily available and relatively inexpensive Jet-A fuel, the R66 can gain impressive altitude to fly over the rugged terrain and climb above bad weather systems.

The R66 will be instrumental in helping NTM Aviation Philippines reach its goal of carrying missionaries anywhere they need to go, any time they need to go there, safely and efficiently.  You can be part of the solution to make flight affordable, even to the Manobo missionaries with few economic resources. Your involvement doesn't end with the Manobo.  The R66 will also increase access to 14 other groups on Mindanao, totaling 450,000 people, who need to hear God's Message.
