    Bulk Fuel Tank

    Over the past few years, fuel shortage has brought ongoing drama to the country of Papua New Guinea — and the threat of disruption of flight service to church planting teams in remote locations. At one point in early 2024, Ethnos360 Aviation paid a substantial price to order 80 barrels of Jet-A (fuel for turbine engines) from New Zealand to stave off the inevitable prospect of “no fuel, no flights.” More recently, they have been ordering 80 drums at a time from Australia, but it costs 30% more than local fuel, and it takes weeks to arrive. Maintaining a sea of drums is no way to continue operating. Over the last decade, the aviation program has customarily bought fuel from another agency who has a bulk tank, but that’s no longer available. To continue to faithfully serve the 43 active church planting locations, some relying solely on aviation – and to serve national church leaders as they strengthen existing groups of believers – the Ethnos360 Aviation flight program requires a dependable flow of Jet-A.

      The best option to ensure a reliable fuel supply seems to be the purchase of a bulk fuel tank that could be filled directly by a petroleum supplier when fuel is available. 

      We here at Ethnos360 Aviation would love to bless the church planters in Papua New Guinea with the assurance that fuel will be available when they need a flight. So we are speaking up for them to find those of you who have a heart for reaching the remote people groups of PNG and seeing them discipled into mature and thriving groups of believers. Maybe you would like to reassure the church planters that they will be supported by aviation through the long haul — 10 to 20 years or more — of establishing a thriving church with a Bible translation in hand. Maybe you would like to put some of your resources toward getting a bulk fuel tank and filling it with its first load of fuel. We’re looking at $206,325 USD to do just that.
