Missionary and Pilot Byron Unger with his puppet "George" used C-FGOD to bring the Gospel into Northern Manitoba


Missionary Byron Unger from Winnipeg, is a full time, dedicated Missionary to the youth , who preaches the Gospel with a puppet (George), a giant board and a guitar in schools, bible camps, churches and tent evangelisations - mostly Mantoba and the rest of Canada, but also some places in the States.

His long time vision is, putting ‘George’ and the guitar into a small airplane to make occasional winter ministry trips up to Northern Manitoba to preach the Gospel.

In May 2006 he obtained his pilot license, which was the first step to fulfill that very desire.

For a couple of years, Byron was looking for a Cessna 185, which, with it's performace and capacity called pick-up truck of the air. This 6-seat bush plane would be perfectly suited for ministry use up north, but he learned over the years, they are very rare to find around the Winnipeg area, registered for private use, and available for ministry.

Since years my wife Gisella and I have this vision to use our plane (Cessna 185) for missionwork in Northern Manitoba and Ontario.

Now God's planning came in action and brought us together and after we shared our heart's desire, we realized: God answered our prayers.

There was a lot of planning and preparation to accomplish before we could set out on our “first missionary journey”. But, on April 14, 2007, the bush plane loaded to capacity with “George”, the Giant Cut-Out Board, guitar, sound equipment, two pilots, and all of their gear - we departed to Thompson, MB on a 5 day trip to preach the Gospel and encourage missionaries around the North. Praise the Lord for all His goodness and guidance!! It happened!
