By God’s power, we are seeking to steward our skills to help see “a thriving church for every people”
“If the heart of missions is the GOSPEL of Christ, then AVIATION is the circulatory system.”
— Ron Hutchcraft
Who are we?
We are Jake and Brittany Korver, along with our little son Ivan, from northwest Iowa. We are one step away from moving overseas to help see the Gospel go where it has never been through mission aviation. Jake is a pilot/mechanic, and Brittany is a homemaker.
“Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!”
— Psalm 96:3
Our foundation, our “why”
What drives us? The GLORY of the triune God of the Bible. He is our Creator, our King, our Redeemer, our life. If He is who Scripture says He is, then He is worthy of our endless praise. If the good news of the Gospel is true, we owe Him everything. This desire to worship Him more and more overflows into a desire to see others “from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Rev 5:9) come to glorify Him as well.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
— Jesus (John 14:6)
Here’s a shortened version of a video we made in December 2022 explaining our training and the organization’s church-planting process.
Our organization
Ethnos360 is made up of thousands of ordinary people who deeply long to see “a thriving church for every people,” and are stewarding their skills and gifts around the world to play a part in accomplishing that goal through God’s power and direction.
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”
— Jesus (Matt. 28:18-19)
So what’s with the aircraft?
Ethnos360’s heartbeat is to plant healthy churches where there are none. Many of these places are unreached with the gospel because they are virtually unreachable without the use of airplanes and helicopters. The use of aviation in bush missions has made ministry sustainable at the ends of the earth. Ethnos360 Aviation’s tagline is simple: “millions unreached - none unreachable.”
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…”
Ephesians 3:20
Our planned roles
Lord willing, after the move overseas to our field of service and spending some time learning the language and culture, Jake will be flying the Robinson R66 helicopter in and out of remote church-plant locations while also helping to maintain the aircraft. Brittany plans to be busy with homemaking and home-schooling, and will also likely have duties related to hospitality and tracking flights on the computer for safety purposes.
“…to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.”
Ephesians 3:21
