Future missionary pilots gain multiple FAA certifications and the experience needed before qualifying to fly for mission aviation agencies.

“Bringing Hope & Revealing Glory: What Does the Bible Say about Disability?”
Learn what life is like for children with intellectual disabilities in Zambia—and how God is using Special Hope Network to share His love, show value, and challenge stigma. We’ll also explore what the Bible says about disability and how the Great Commission calls us to reach every nation and every child with the hope of Jesus, regardless of ability.

“Mission Possible: Students and Teens Changing the World”
Many students think missions is something they’ll do when they’re older. But Jesus didn’t say, “Wait until you’re grown up.” In Acts 1:8, He calls every believer to be His witness, right where they are and wherever He may go. The mission Jesus gave wasn’t just for pastors, missionaries, or adults; it’s for every follower of Christ. Through stories, Scripture, and practical examples, students will discover how God can use them today to share His love at school, in their neighborhoods, and around the world. You are never too young to make an eternal impact.
