AWA Canada has purchased a 1975 Cessna 206 for the Sioux Lookout, Ontario project. This aircraft can carry more and go faster than the floatplane. Floats are nice to have with all the water we fly over but they come with a cost. When the project was started it looked like the best choice but [...]
Two days in March our church care group conducted a mini medical mission for our Bible interests and newly baptized members at Green Valley in preparation for our weeklong nightly Growing in Christ Stewardship series. ECG tests, Fasting Blood Sugar and blood typing were done during the 1st day. The following day doctors were available [...]
February 2020 was a high day for many Pathfinder groups in the island province of Palawan when AWA conducted the Pathfinder Honor class using its own N81708 aircraft as prop. The Aviation Honor patches were finally awarded last March 18, 2022, during the Master Guide Induction Ceremony at Adventist Hospital Palawan Church. Though it took [...]
A special thank you to a special lady for encouraging our Guyanese brothers and sisters. Our dear sister provided the Hobo Hill and Barabina Church community with their second quarter adult and children’s division Sabbath School quarterlies (study guides).

The Lord has blessed the Worship Center abundantly with members, young and [...]
“When it’s springtime in Alaska and its 42 below” (as the song says) it is time to plan the details of the summer’s mission projects. To do the planning when there is still 4 feet of snow on the ground and temperatures are still sinking to more than 20 below seems out of season. But [...]
My mother, Genalyn, fondly called Gina, was admitted two years ago for complications associated with diabetes. She underwent surgery and was in the hospital for several months. Sadly, it took years for her foot to heal from the surgery. We give thanks to the Lord Almighty-- her health began to stabilize. Then on March 9, [...]
The Toku Hana (a plane used in a goodwill mission between the US and Japan for relieving trade tension in 1964) has been around since the 1960’s. It’s been well taken care of over the last 60 years but there has been a growing need of some better wiring and avionics. A decision was made [...]
