In this episode of Cloud of Witnesses, we hear from Ruth Scheltema, who served with her husband, Hank, in Brazil as missionaries with ABWE for over 20 years. As church planters and pioneers in mission aviation, Hank and Ruth worked to spread the gospel to remote Amazonian villages previously accessible only by houseboat. Their aviation ministry revolutionized outreach efforts, enabling them to bring the gospel and medical aid to multiple villages in a single day. Ruth shares stories of overcoming fears and challenges, illustrating their unwavering faith and dedication. The Scheltemas’ legacy continues to inspire future aviation missionaries.
