Short-term teams

What a team does

• Aviation maintenance team: three weeks in Wewak, two to three people. Sheet metal, corrosion work, inspections and floatplane maintenance, in the only hangar in the region.
• Base construction team: three weeks in Wewak or Kapuna, about five people. Electrical, plumbing, carpentry, docks, fencing and road clearing. We serve Gulf Province now, and our Kapuna base (docks, hangar and staff housing) is being built.

Who it suits

A maintenance team is the best first step for A&P students and working mechanics. A construction team opens the door for tradespeople and is built for church teams: a church can send a team of its own to build.

How it works

Team members are 18 or older; anyone younger comes with a parent or guardian on the trip. Each one completes an application, a background check and the logistics paperwork. Dates are flexible: tell us about your team, and we’ll plan the trip around you.

What it costs

Teams are self-funded, and many people raise it through their church. We’ll share current costs when you get in touch.
