Using our Gifts and Talents to Serve

Baptist on Mission Aviation Ministry’s pilots are using their gifts and talents to serve HIM.

Whether through Angel Flights, Youth Flying, Prayer Flights or delivering needed supplies to disaster relief areas. Many lives have been positively affected by the dedication of these pilots.

Angel Flight organizations coordinate flights for patients who need transportation to medical facilities for treatments or follow up visits. Patients seek these flights for either financial reason or because of a weaken immune system that does not allow them to fly on a crowded commercial flight. These Angel Flights gives the pilots time to witness to those who need Christ and time to encourage Christians as they are going through their trials.

Youth flying involves a church or church association organizing their youth for a day to fly. We take them on a brief flight to show them God’s creation from a different perspective. If possible, we will fly them over their church and pray for the congregation. Some of these youths have never flown before and to see how different the world appears from this perspective is a life changing experience. These flights also given us an opportunity to talk about how God created this world and encourage them to pursue an aviation career on the mission field.

Our pilots not only do Angel and Youth Flights, but they have also been involved in delivering backpacks, winter coats, baby supplies to Appalachian cold fields; coats and warm clothing to rural West Virginia and Kentucky areas and Helene relief supplies to western North Carolina.

The Aviation ministry pilots that I have been involved with are extremely dedicated serving others while bringing Glory to God through the gifts and talents He has given each one of us to serve Him. I have been flying Angel Flights for over 15 years. Each flight has its own unique story. It is such a privilege to help others in need as God has given me the talent and ability to serve HIM in this capacity.
