00:01 As you know our time comes and goes so quickly,
00:02 but there's some very important details
00:04 that we wanna leave you with,
00:06 and I'll turn the time over to you.
00:07 Tell us what else we can expect
00:10 and what else is pertinent to this program, David?
00:12 Well, so one of the things
00:14 that we really wanted to highlight on this
00:16 is our desire to help people
00:20 who are interested in transitioning
00:22 into the mission field after they get out.
00:25 So, as Jeremy alluded to earlier,
00:28 we have home students who come in
00:29 and they want to be mission pilots.
00:33 But what we found is the financial obligations
00:37 of all the additional flight training
00:39 on top of tuition builds up
00:41 a fair amount of debt for most people,
00:44 and that debt becomes a detriment to people
00:49 who are working in the mission field.
00:51 Right because you are not in the mission field
00:52 to make lot of money.
00:54 That's right. That's right. Heavenly.
00:55 And most of the aviation organizations
00:58 that we have are self-supporting,
01:00 so you're building your own finances
01:03 and your own support group.
01:04 And I mean, I've been there,
01:07 it's a tough life
01:09 to have to do all your own fund raising
01:12 and to survive on it.
01:15 So what we would like to do
01:17 is through the Andrews organization,
01:22 we have some mission money
01:24 and we'd like to get more mission money
01:26 so that we are specifically helping our students
01:30 offset the cost of the flight training
01:34 through mission service.
01:36 So if they sign on for
01:38 a 2-year, 5-year, 7- year commitment,
01:41 we are helping pay off their student loans
01:45 as they're in their mission field
01:47 and building their opportunities
01:50 to be abroad while they're working.
01:52 That's wonderful incentive,
01:54 you know, so,
01:55 anything you wanna add to that, Jonathan or Jeremy?
01:57 Ah, no, I mean, that's our priority
01:59 is to send people to the mission field,
02:00 both foreign and domestic.
02:01 And if they have other responsibilities,
02:04 if we can take that off their plate
02:05 and allow them to focus on their mission,
02:09 that would be pretty fantastic.
02:11 So where do you fly from here?
02:15 You head back to Andrews?
02:16 Heading back to Andrews.
02:17 Wow, you know, safe flying for all of you.
02:20 I would say after this program,
02:22 I'll say you're clear for takeoff.
02:24 But thank you for coming here today.
02:25 You know, if you're listening to the program and watching,
02:27 you may be driving thinking,
02:29 well I don't wanna drive all the time,
02:30 I wanna fly some times.
02:31 I want my life to,
02:33 sort of speak, my career to get off the ground,
02:35 the term that we often use
02:37 which is very pertinent to this program today.
02:39 And thank you, David, thank you, Jonathan,
02:41 thank you, Jeremy for coming here today
02:43 and letting our viewers and listeners know
02:45 that, yeah, there is a future out there for aviation.
02:48 The three angels do want to fly
02:50 and we can connect them together
02:51 to carry the gospel throughout all the world,
02:54 both in the mission field abroad
02:55 and here in America.
02:57 God bless you until we see you again.
