Introducing our Newest Member

The brand new R66 replacement helicopter for Brazil arrived at Ethnos360 Aviation March 15! Remember how our first helicopter in Brazil was destroyed when a windstorm caused the city airport hangar to collapse on it? Thank you for all your prayers, and thanks to God for His graciousness in providing this replacement so quickly.

The new R66 came pure white from the Robinson factory, so our painting experts got busy right away adding our red color scheme. Now, the crew here at our aviation center in Arizona is completing the many fine details of outfitting it for specific service in Brazil. Then we will pursue getting an Export Certificate of Airworthiness from the FAA.

Would you now join us in a serious prayer effort as the R66 is flown to Brazil and goes through the daunting importation process? If we think it was a marvel that the damaged R66 could be replaced so quickly with this new one, it will be even more of a miracle for it to be up and servicing our missionaries before summer's end. We estimate that it will be a complicated four-month process at best.

Teams of missionaries in Brazil are waiting for this helicopter so they can move ahead with bringing God’s Word to people waiting to hear it. Without air service, every step of the language learning, translation and teaching process takes an inordinate amount of time. Pray for God to graciously expedite the paperwork, inspections, and certifications so the R66 can move forward into service.

Thank you for joining in this prayer project. We anticipate seeing God work in a remarkable way.
