"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" ____________________________________________________________________________________
Dear Freinds,
Over the last couple of years God began to move and speak to my heart about the need for the Gospel to go out to the nations. As I witnessed about Jesus here in the U.S. and watched people reject The Savior, people who have been blessed with ready access to the truth of the gospel and a church on every corner, God began to overwhelmingly burden me with thoughts of all of those people in far off places who not only don't know the great news about Jesus but they have never even had a chance to hear His wonderful name. Their eternal destiny is at stake. "How, then can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?" (Rom 10:14) As a pilot & aircraft mechanic, and knowing I could reach them with an airplane, God began to move and break my heart for these isolated people in remote places who are living without clean water or food and have no access to medical care. But, most of all, I couldn't escape the fact that they are living without acess to Living Water, The Bread of Life, The Healer, and The Word of God. All while I was living in the richest country in the world, contentedly complacent in my relative palatial surroundings with Bible College training and 10 different bible translations on my bookshelf.
 
When I was in college I got my pilots license and then went on to recieve a degree at an aviation university where I furthered my flight training and also recieved my FAA aircraft mechanics licenses. I worked in aviation for a while but later left it behind for new opportunities in business. I also attended Bible College where Heather and I met. God has now moved me back into aviation and He has called us to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to unreached people using an airplane. We'll be ministering to the physical and spiritual needs of those who are in remote and difficult-to-get-to-places. He spoke very specifically about the type of airplane - inexpensive, easy to maintain, and short takeoff and landing.
 
After God gave us this call and we surrendered our lives to it, He opened many doors through our home church for us to go to The Joshua Foundation in Tanzania, Africa. Before we had even set foot in Africa we knew He had called us to move there for full time mission service. In faith, we went to Tanzania pursuing this call from God and the work of the Kingdom. While there we received confirmation and favor on every level and God sealed in our spirits a commitment to labor with our lives in this harvest field. As soon as we can aquire the airplane and finalize preparations we will move to Tanzania, Africa indefinitely to serve as full time missionaries there.
This is not a missions "trip". He called us to go, to surrender our lives to this work and leave it all behind. We believe that God is calling His people to give it all up and go to the ends of the earth and not look back for the sake of The Name.
There is excitement in our hearts as we prepare to go to Africa and Heather and I watch God's plan unfolding in our lives. We look forward in faith for our move to Africa with our 3 children (Emma Grace, Laurin Faith, and Scott Andrew II)
It was nearly two thousand years ago that Jesus challenged His church with the Great Commission - to make disciples of all nations. What an honor to live when this goal can be reached in our lifetime! This goal is close at hand yet there is still much work to be done. God is looking for men and women who will express His love to the spiritually wounded and dying of this world. The Lord has called His church to go into the nations and make disciples. Now is the time for us to build and prepare. Lives are at stake and the needs have never been greater!
The great commission requires great prayer and resources. Please consider partnering and praying with us in this work. What we do together will affect the eternity of generations to come. God bless you.
All for Jesus,
Scott and Heather Brallier
