Hangar Expansion Update

God’s Provision

Since the initial appeal in August, individuals, churches, businesses and foundations have come forward to provide over $162,000.00 in cash donations toward expanding our hangar facility! Such generous giving has encouraged us to move ahead with the entire project instead of three separate construction phases as initially conceived. The rapidity of God’s provision confirms our belief that together, we are accomplishing His purposes in His time.

Construction Status

Concrete footers are in, foundation block is laid, the firewall is up, and piers are poured. The prefabricated, steel building package has been ordered and is expected to arrive this month. The large bi-fold hangar door has been contracted and will be coordinated for delivery in conjunction with building assembly.

Footers are in, block is laid, firewall is up, and the other major construction components have been ordered.

Continued Need

As expansion progresses, it is apparent we were conservative in some estimates and overly optimistic in others. After reviewing the actual costs vs. contributions, another $8,000.00 is needed to asphalt the parking lot and taxiway. An additional $5,000.00 is required to finish interior modifications to further improve administrative efficiency as well as training effectiveness.

Thank You

Thank you to everyone who has played a role in helping MMS move forward with this expansion. Whether through prayer, or giving, or spreading the word of our ministry at MMS, you are partners with us in preparing people and planes for worldwide missions service. Together, we are serving for God’s glory.
