This month I've had the privilege of working with Mark Swensen, a pilot/mechanic from MARC (Missionary Aviation Repair Center) in Soldotna, Alaska. He came to Spokane Turbine Center for Kodiak flight training, as MARC has access to a couple of Kodiak aircraft used in the ministry there in Alaska. You can read more about the Swensen family and the ministry of MARC at the websites hyperlinked from this post. As the Chief Pilot for MARC, Mark is developing Standard Operating Procedures and protocol for MARC's Kodiak operations. It was a privilege working with Mark, conducting about half of his training while he was here, learning about their operations and how the Lord is working through the ministries of MARC, Flying Under the Son, and Samaritan's Purse in Alaska.
I'm so thankful that the Lord has us here at Spokane Turbine Center for the time being, working with great people like Mark who are using the skills, talents and resources the Lord has entrusted to them to be the hands and feet of Christ to a lost and dark world. This Christmas season, may the Lord grant us opportunities to share His love and the Light of the world to those still lost in the darkness, as we all once were.
