Today was the nicest day I have seen since Halloween. It was awesome. I didn't think once about fighting weather, where I could divert, etc. That was a good thing, because we were busy as always. One of the main things on the agenda today was hauling various church leaders into Makuma from various villages throughout the jungle. I flew south about an hour from Shell to the border of Peru to bring some Atchuar leaders from a village called Mashumarentza as well as some from Copataza. One of the missionaries that lives in Makuma works with the Atchuar Indians. Every once in a while he holds a large conference for his top leaders to encourage them and teach them more about the Bible.
It was a cool thing to be flying those indigenous leaders today. When MAF started our work here in Ecuador over 60 years ago, we were strictly flying western missionaries. Now, when ever we fly missionaries, or Christian workers, the majority of the time it is with national workers. There is still sooooo much work to be done for the kingdom, but this is a huge step that we are now flying the nationals to minister to each other.
