GCA Helps Place Aircraft for Another Ministry

During the week following Easter, Rob made a trip to Guatemala in the service of another ministry: Living Water Teaching , who operate a large network on Bible schools in Central and South America, among other places. They recently arranged to have a Cessna U206 based at their large hangar in Xela (Quetzaltenanto), Guatemala and they will be hosting a pilot and mechanic, Charles Martinez and his wife Robin, who is a teacher at the school.

Charles' ministry is called Mercy Wings and he will be based in Quetzaltenango with Living Water where he will provide routine flights for groups that travel between the large cities in Guatemala, using the 206.

Rob was asked to help plan the trip and accompany Charles on the flight down to Guatemala From Texas, with a fuel stop in Mexico, followed by a couple of days of preliminary familiarization flights. This was one of those times when various ministries get to work together to accomplish a task that will help the international effort of spreading the Gospel of Christ. A real blessing to all involved.

Rob has been invited to return and continue training with Charles and he is very hopeful that our various ministries can work together in ways that will help this involved and perhaps also those that GCA serves in the remote regions of Guatemala as well. The potential for a beautiful friendship is there!
