Last Friday marked the final day of another three-week training cycle; the day we present the students with their certificates of completion and send them back to their respective locations of operation around the globe. As they are now equipped with the knowledge and hands-on experience gained from the course here at Spokane Turbine Center (STC), we are excited at the prospect of safer and more efficient operations in missionary aviation worldwide. This past course, a maintenance specialist course, consisted of six students from Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) in Indonesia, Missionary Aviation Repair Center (MARC) in Alaska, as well as maintenance instructors from Moody Bible Institute's missionary aviation program right here in Spokane. It was a blessing to spend the last three weeks with these guys, and we had a great time together. This cycle proved to be a memorable one for me, as it marked my first opportunity to do some of the instructing. The fact that a couple of the students had been my maintenance instructors at Moody not a year earlier made my instructing debut a little ironic, if not intimidating :) It's been such a blessing to work here and continue my preparation for service overseas (as God leads...). I am learning so much and simultaneously I am privileged to meet and get to know colleagues from around the world, some of whom I may end up working with in the future.
