Seeing Double!
Your eyes are not deceiving you! There are two brand new Robinson R66 helicopters sitting in the Ethnos360 Aviation hangar in McNeal, AZ!
Following fast on the heels of the R66 for Papua New Guinea that arrived November 30, the brand new R66 that arrived Tuesday is destined for Asia-Pacific.
As with the PNG R66, this one also arrived pure white, and it will be painted – as our crew has already done with the PNG R66.
After outfitting specifically for Asia-Pacific – and meeting many complicated requirements for it to be exported from the US and imported into Asia-Pacific – this R66 will replace the LongRanger that another mission is withdrawing from that country. They are graciously keeping their LongRanger in service until this new R66 can arrive there.
The most urgent request we have is for our helicopter personnel to have all their training and paperwork done and to arrive in Asia-Pacific so we can import the R66. So many things have hindered our personnel – visas, pandemic restrictions, sickness, etc. We see God providing beautiful equipment, but LABORERS are the huge need. Please pray.
This R66 feels like God’s “Merry Christmas” to all of you who have prayed and given so this helicopter could be a reality. And we pray that in its many years of service, this helicopter will bring the Good News of Jesus’ birth and salvation to the people of Asia-Pacific.
