Ethnos360 Aviation

Ethnos360 Aviation For members and friends of Ethnos360 Aviation's Flight Crew -- a support group to help keep missionary pilots and flights in the air to serve tribal peoples.

Ethnos360 serves people in the most remote regions of the world to expand the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. NTM's Aviation Division provides the planes and pilots that make such remote works feasible, providing a lifeline between tribal villages and civilization. Missionaries need transportation into distant, often unnavigable regions. NTM Aviation pilots and aircraft ferry missionaries, sup

plies and villagers in need of emergency services. The FLIGHT CREW is a partnership and support group that helps Ethnos360 Aviation defray the costs of missionary flights, and expand services to new, as yet unreached peoples.

How many years have you been to EAA AirVenture? What was your best experience there? If you haven’t ever been, this might be your year! Be sure to visit us at the Ethnos360 Aviation display, located in the IAMA Missionary Aviation tent on site #20, just west of exhibition building C. Our team will be there enjoying the show with you – and ready to talk aviation and missions, and how the two make a winning combination!

Where’s the most unusual place you have ever landed (even if you were just the passenger)? Our pilots get to use their skills in some unlikely (but always safe) locations, with the goal of sustaining the work of establishing thriving groups of believers in remote locations. Our mechanics make it their purpose to keep the aircraft in tip-top shape to meet the challenge of precision landings. Pray for all of them to keep sharp!

When is a wrench not a wrench? It’s all in the way you see it! As Ethnos360 Aviation pilot Jimmy Stewart put it, “While doing maintenance on airplanes, I don’t see my tools as wrenches and screwdrivers. I look at each one of them and call them church planting tools.” Every part of fulfilling the Great Commission matters to the people groups on the receiving end – who might never hear the gospel if aircraft didn’t sustain and supply the church planting teams. Can you be part? (Pictured: The reassembly of an R66 recently arrived in Asia Pacific.)

You go to the gas station and cringe at the high prices as you fill up! But where does a helicopter or airplane refuel after flying to a distant village in the mountains or jungles? No gas stations exist, and fuel trucks can’t deliver without roads. The solution is to “position” fuel ahead of time. Here’s one scenario: Four 55-gallon fuel drums were trucked on rugged roads from a coastal city to a river, where helpful believers canoed them to their jungle village. The R66 helicopter arrived to find the village flooded – but with a safe place to land. Working in standing water, aviation personnel attached the drums – two at a time – beneath the helicopter. The pilot flew the barrels further up into the mountains to the Kaje village, where a church was born in 2019. End goal? Sustaining two Ethnos360 families as they continue discipling the Kaje believers to establish a thriving church.

What’s the most challenging obstacle you’ve conquered to bring the gospel to someone? An indigenous couple in Asia Pacific hiked 10 hours, crossing winding waterways 20-plus times – and that was in dry season. In rainy season, with rivers at flood stage, it took 18 hours with the added risk of drowning! Over and over, they did the trek to teach through foundational Bible lessons. Finally, a group of indigenous and national believers arrived to carve out an airstrip – mostly with hand tools – to advance the outreach. The 10 to 18 hours turned into 10 minutes in the Kodiak! The teaching finished and a number of villagers, even the village chief, believed – and they were baptized in a pool at the end of the airstrip! Now the Kodiak aids the indigenous missionaries as they disciple the new believers to maturity.

When have you ever been without a Bible? Pilot Travis Lesicka’s Kodiak flight was bringing 300 kgs (over 660 lbs) of the first-ever bound copies of the complete Bible in the Lamogai language. In about a month, the people group will joyously dedicate this long-awaited treasure.

What’s in those boxes?? Pilot Travis Lesicka knew they were on board his Kodiak flight that day, but he wasn’t expecting this greeting!
