Mission Statement Wings For Christ International is an interdenominational Christian group of pilots and flying enthusiasts committed to spreading the message of Jesus Christ through aviation. We transport missionaries, airlift supplies, and train pilots called to the mission field. At home, we actively perform community service and promote Christian fellowship through Bible study, prayer, and aviation involvement. Wings primarily functions as a missionary support group, and we use aviation as a method of reaching out to anyone in need. All of the members of Wings For Christ are volunteers except for an on-staff Missions Coordinator. We operate by using aircraft owned by both the organization and by member pilots willing to make their personal aircraft available for missionary work. The budget is completely funded by members, churches, and other private, tax-deductible donations. Members pay their own way for recurrency training or recreational flying while Wings contributes to the funding of organized mission trips. Aircraft maintenance service is provided by dedicated individuals who are competent and certified in their field. Keith Hull, who had a vision of an organization that could teach piloting skills to Christians committed to missionary work, started Wings For Christ in 1961. Over the years, Wings evolved to include relief efforts as well. In 1972, Keith moved the organization from Arizona to its present location outside of Waco to continue training pastors, missionaries, and lay people to use flying to further the Gospel. They also transported missionaries, dentists, and doctors to various destinations for relief efforts. Today, the banner of Wings For Christ covers a variety of activities, both collective and individual, that foster Christian growth and support in keeping with the mission of Christ's church. Wings is an active organization, and we strive to be prepared for whatever need or ministry opportunity arises. Our prayers are that many people will come to know the Lord Jesus Christ through Wings For Christ and the work of missionaries all over the world.
