The Need for Mission Aviation
Many Unreached People Groups in isolated areas haven’t heard the Gospel. Aviation provides the most practical mode of transportation for overcoming mountain, jungle and desert barriers to reach those living in spiritual darkness. Aircraft also provide emergency medical evacuation options for indigenous people and missionaries in remote locations.

About the Organization
“Our mission is spreading the message of the Gospel farther and faster through the equipping and training of evangelical Christian pilots for mission aviation ministry. This includes helping pilots meet the qualifications for major mission aviation organizations, as well as training pilots directly for service with smaller, independent mission aviation ministries, and discipling individuals in the inerrant authority of God’s Word.” (MATA Board Of Directors, 3/14/2017)
