President's Chapel 2025-2026: Rev. Simon Tanner - When Faith Takes Flight

Simon Tanner shares the story of Helimission, a Christian helicopter ministry founded by his father, which uses aviation to reach remote, unreached people with the gospel. What began as a risky, faith-driven effort, buying and flying a helicopter to Africa despite impossible odds, has grown into a global ministry supporting missionaries, medical evacuations, and disaster relief. Through examples like the Dao tribe, he shows how access to isolated regions can transform entire communities, both physically and spiritually. He also highlights the sacrifices his family made and the ongoing global impact of the ministry. The main message challenges listeners to live for eternal impact by using their time, talents, and resources to serve God. He emphasizes that God often uses ordinary people, values hidden service just as much as visible roles, and calls every Christian to be involved, whether by going, giving, supporting, or praying, without comparing themselves to others. ★ Support this podcast ★
