After working with SIL in both Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, I appreciate the long hours and dedication these missionary pilots do for the sake of the Gospel. We will miss you, Paul and your love for the people on the island of New Guinea.
Paul died last week in a plane crash...I never knew him but I loved this video he made and it reminds me of all the JAARS pilots I worked with on the other side of the island in PNG--putting their lives on the line to not only serve Bible translation, but to do all the humanitarian things that can only be done by aircraft in that terrain--medical evacuations, bringing supplies, moving produce and people to help make their lives better. Pray for Paul's family and co-workers. Thanks Paul.
I served with Paul Westlund for 9 years. When it is all been said and done, Paul ran the race with love and a heart the size of the country in which he served. I'm sure the first words he heard in heaven while he looked into his Lords eyes and gave that toothy grin he always gave was, "Well done good and faithful servant".
Paul Westlund died in the crash of this airplane today, September 22, 2011. Thank you for serving the Savior, Paul.....now enjoy His presence forever!

Ok, pardon me I do NOT mean to be disrespectful. I LOVE THIS VIDEO. But I happen to be Atheist AND I have seen missionary pilots do the greatest acts one can imagine and the worarter pilot - ie "your notst (as a fellow ch christian/mormon/lds etc go away!" But I always as an atheist pilot who had mutual respect for MAF and others who I helped as did they, these guys do good. BUT REMEMBER there are others out there doing good, because it's the right thing to do.
It is sad to see so many ignorant childish comments for such a powerful message that this video coneys..I am a pilot, and only look forward to giving back to the ones in need where only a plane can reach them with the much needed supplies. Such hope, and rewards, fly safe my Brothers, and Sisters, may God 's Blessing rain down upon you each, and everyday!!! To those ignorant, and childish folks with your idiotic remarks...May God be mercifull at your Judgement moment...
@HagarST What a blessing this video and it's subsequent comments have brought me today. Whenever you try to spread the message of Jesus and the Bible there will be opposition. We must keep pressing on. Thank you for your comment my Brother.

How come it never occurs to you people to just help others without cramming your absurd fairy tales down their throats?? It's nothing short of blackmail. "Here's your vitamin B shot, but only after you go to church...." Repugnant beyond belief.
@PDZ1122 Ignorance at it's finest. Yes they're Christian but they and other mission organisations DO NOT only give out medical aid if they go to church/listen to sermons. It IS done unconditionally! How many atheist organisations are there out there doing anything at all? Thought so.
God really exists ! Please, believe me ! God really exists ! All people must be friends ! Love is The Great Truth and The Only Way for everybody on this Earth ! Let's be good people to the end of our earth life and...then again... :) This is The Truth ! The Truth is only One ! Believe me ! I am talking from my personal experiences ! God really exists !!!
Thanks William, i apreciated you give your live to service our people in papua, indonesia. nice pc-6 pk-uce, same as i heve a rc model like this, good luck.GBU.Ferry
It's a beauty task what you are making! I hope that so many pilots do the same things in their lifes. Carrying on good things and the holy words of God in the Holy bible. Regards from Chile!
i love the porters,there the best,wen i saw this vid,i realised,how hard it is to live like them guys,it made me think,i should fly out there wen i get my pilot license,and help them.
I am usually a tough guy, I've been around aircraft all my humble 27yrs & trying to be the best christian I can be. this video made me ball like a little girl! It is my life's ambition to be a missionary pilot,& your video sums what I have seen,read about,& dreamed-thankyou! even if I never get the chance to reach the goal, I feel I've connected with what it would be like, GOD bless you!
@DeathMetalShredd666 You need to shut the fuck up, this video is touching and if hasn't touched you then youre a horrible person which the world doesnt need
