Aviation Ministries
Air Service
We
provide a time- and energy-saving means of transportation for a variety
of partners. May it be the tribal missionary going to a village home,
the Bible Translation consultant team visiting on-site work, the
missionary ministering to prison inmates, the medical patient needing
speedy service to a hospital, the dental team administering free care
for patients, the teachers beginning a new session at a training center,
or the 100 baby chicks meant to stimulate a village’s agriculture
development, the airplane eliminates tens of hours on dangerous
switch-back trails called roads, promotes the frequency of visits, the
efficiency in which work can be executed, and is a less physically
demanding means of travel.
Beyond the Cockpit
Pilots find themselves partnering with
missionaries and the local people in a variety of ways. They
have been recruited to help improve a missionary family’s
village home, sterilize dental equipment,
play music and share testimonies during events, and simply
interact with villagers to promote positive relationships.
We consider it a privilege to participate so closely with missionaries
and the indigenous cultures.
Maintenance
Keeping our Cessna fleet in top working order with prolonged life is
a fantastic and dedicated staff of mechanics in both Tucson, Arizona and
Chihuahua, Mexico.
Outside of the hangar, our mechanics’ skills have
been called upon to fix missionary’s four-wheel vehicles and make
emergency repairs. One trip on the above-mentioned “roads” often tears
vehicles up faster than they can be maintained.
