Missionary aviation
Helping make Bible translation and church planting possible
Aircraft don’t translate the Bible or plant churches. But in isolated communities, aviation can provide the access that helps make that work possible.
Missionary Flight Sponsorship
Help keep remote ministry within reach
Missionary aviation can replace days of difficult travel with a short flight—carrying people, supplies and Scripture to places where roads may not exist.
Your gift helps make safe, dependable air service more affordable for teams serving among isolated Unreached People Groups.
See how affordable flights help sustain long-term ministry among isolated communities.
Why aviation?
More than transportation
Aviation helps ministry teams stay, serve and keep long-term work moving forward.
Reach isolated communities
Aircraft provide access where mountains, rivers and rainforests can make overland travel difficult or impossible.
Make flights affordable
Sponsorship helps reduce the cost carried by missionaries and keeps essential air service available.
Support long-term ministry
Reliable transportation helps church planters, Bible translators and thriving churches continue their work.
