Our flight plan for today’s show, which includes an amazing conversation with Erick Paradizo, contains some great insight for prospective missionary pilots. He is currently serving stateside with MAF, but will soon be heading to Ecuador with his family.

New Phase of Ministry
We are very excited to announce that we are moving into a new phase of ministry at Plane Faith. From the beginning, the primary concern behind the podcast and everything else related to Plane Faith has been to find a solution to the debt problem that has often caused great difficulty for prospective and active missionary pilots. Flight training is expensive, and prospective missionary pilots often find it necessary to finance their training in order to complete it in a reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately, this debt often becomes a hurdle they must clear before they can be approved for the mission field (or a stressful hurdle they end up having to clear every month while they are on the mission field). In the worst of cases, this debt hurdle keeps those called to mission aviation from ever fulfilling their call, while at other times, it brings them home prematurely.
We at Plane Faith want to solve this problem by awarding Takeoff Grants to cover the monthly flight training debt for missionary pilots for as long as they serve on the mission field. To accomplish this goal, we have formed a nonprofit corporation and will soon begin accepting donations to fund these grants. We are also getting geared up to start accepting applications for our first class of grant recipients. If you would like more information either about donating to fund these grants or how to apply for one, please reach out to us using the contact form on this website.
