Proclaim Aviation Ministries is a non-denominational Evangelical Christian based non-profit ministry that melds our passion for aviation with the desire to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ available to every person. The increasing demand for aviation missionaries who support Bible translation and world evangelization has outpaced current mission resources. Now, more than any other time we have faced in the Global Mission effort, an investment into potential missionary pilots and mechanics is critical.
Mission Statement
We have always been excited about aviation in foreign missions. We are excited about the vigorous impact it has had on missions. And now, we are even more excited about an opportunity to support mission aviation in a new and vital way. The resulting ministry focuses on missionary pilot candidates just graduating from a flight program. Our objective is to come alongside these aviators and cut through the time restraints and hindrances in their quest for overseas ministry. This is achieved by providing the opportunities and supports necessary to take these aviators from graduation to acceptance with a mission aviation organization, and subsequent overseas mission assignment, within a one or two year period..
The world is always moving toward eternity.Aviation is our way of affecting that eternity for people who have not heard the Gospel of Christ!
Praise God He lets us be a part of redeeming mankind, one person at a time.This is a collective effort that requires an army to battle for souls.We want to serve with anyone who shares this vision.Does the Gospel excite you?Does salvation in action excite you?Does meeting someone in heaven who is there because of your personal action excite you?Does the creativeness of God excite you?Come along with us, share an equal partnership with us, and take this journey of redemption.We will battle side by side, upholding each other and partnering to glorify God and His heart that desires none should perish.

“Proclaim is one of those non profit agencies that are paving the way for what many other organizations will undoubtedly be doing. It is the cutting edge for getting potential families to the developing countries that need them desperately. We in Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) have been fortunate to receive a number of Proclaim members.
They come to us with no debt and can therefore move immediately to their field of service overseas. They come with aviation experience that many other MAF candidates do not have. They also come to us with a good start on their personal sponsorship and funding required for them to live overseas....Proclaim has been a visionary in helping MAF get families to the field debt free and with experience!”

“Two major obstacles in the path of those who we attempt to recruit for JAARS Aviation are school debt and lack of aviation experience.... Proclaim Aviation provides a way for recent school graduates to prepare rapidly for the field. One of our aviation mechanics who recently completed pre-field training and who will be leaving for Papua New Guinea in the coming year benefited from Proclaim's program. We appreciate what they are doing in helping us keep Bible translation moving.”
Proclaim gave me the chance to gain experience as an A&P mechanic and prepared us for serving overseas. They also helped us with school loans we still owed for aviation training. With our family of five, it would have been difficult to make this final step to the mission field without them. -Jerry Hurd
