Your Donations  At Work – Reaching Those Who Don’t Know About Jesus Christ

Employees at Quest Aircraft celebrated another Mission milestone by dedicating the first of 14 Kodiaks on order for New Tribes Mission (NTM). 

New Tribes Mission (NTM) was founded in 1942 and today has 3,076 missionaries working in 20 countries.  As their name depicts, they work primarily among primitive tribal people seeking to fulfill Christ's Great Command to evangelize and make disciples among "every tribe and tongue."  NTM is now working among 255 tribal groups and began work among nine new language groups in 2009.  NTM has 108 Bible Translations in progress, with 48 completed, of which 5 were completed this year.  It is documented that there are some 2,300 language groups yet to be contacted with the gospel.  The task of world evangelism continues for us and these new Kodiaks!

Paul Wyton adds... "We at New Tribes Mission are thrilled with what God has done to provide this crucial tool.  We believe that for decades to come the Kodiak will play a strategic role, providing access and sustaining tribal church planting teams in some of the most remote tribal villages on the face of the earth.  People groups who are today cutoff and isolated will have an opportunity to hear the Good News of the Gospel, lives will be changed and churches will be planted.  We are so thankful for Quest Aircraft, for their vision to undertake this very difficult task and for their unswerving determination to see it through.  We are also very grateful for the many Quest donors who have given generously to provide the matching grants that subsidized the purchase of the 14 Kodiaks NTM has on order."

Please pray earnestly for Quest Aircraft, the 300 Quest employees and Board members as they press on to fulfill God's calling.  This is still a critical time for Quest as the Company transitions to profitability.  The vision was not only to design and build the aircraft missions need, but to also help fund that ministry in the decades ahead from future commercial profits.

The Quest Aircraft Project is an amazing story of God's call, His provision and His passion for the lost.  The best is yet to come!

We sincerely thank each of you for your faithful partnership, support and prayers in this historic missionary endeavor.  Our Great Commission Mandate is to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth and sustain that effort until all have heard.  The Kodiak is a strategic tool in that effort.  God is still at work among us and to Him be all the glory forever!
