The Next Step

So... If you didn't know it, for many years now I've felt called by God to mission aviation. That's why I went to Prairie, and it's in preparation for that that I work for Perimeter Aviation in Thompson Manitoba.

And now it's time for the next step.

You see, at the moment I'm a ramp attendant; I'm not flying planes. I only marshal, clean, load and de-ice them. I learnt a lot about serving others while doing this, but I didn't spend all that time and money in college just to do this. It's time to take the next step in my career.

It's time to start flying.

Perimeter has offered me a position as First Officer (co-pilot) on the Metro III in Sioux Lookout, Ontario.

I'll be developing skills flying turbine engine aircraft into small isolated communities with small gravel strips. Skills that will be useful as a missionary.

I'm very excited to start flying again, and I'm looking forwards to moving to Sioux, but I'm also sad to leave Thompson. I honestly really enjoyed my time here.

But it's time to move on, and I look forwards to what God will be doing in my life in the future.
