Ethnos360 Aviation

Ethnos360 Aviation’s core purpose is to assist the church planting ministries of Ethnos360 and like-minded ministries through the use of aviation to achieve the goal of a thriving church for every people.

We serve pioneer church planting teams in the remotest regions of Brazil, Asia Pacific, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines. These teams spend 10 to 20 years immersing themselves in the language and culture of the people. The goal? To establish thriving groups of trained believers, Scripture in hand, who can in turn reach neighboring villages and beyond with the gospel.

As the missionaries — often national and indigenous people themselves — work year after year, Ethnos360 Aviation sustains them. The plane brings food and supplies. It transports translation and church planting consultants and takes children back and forth to school. Aircraft act as the ambulance for medical emergencies. Flights carry goods and commodities for the village people. In times of drought, flood, and other natural disasters, the plane brings relief.

Ethnos360 Aviation provides Ethnos360 and like-minded ministries with safe, reliable, affordable, and professional flight service that effectively supports their ministries.

Our History

From humble beginnings in 1969 using a Piper Pacer on an airstrip carved out of a cornfield – to the current state-of-the-art Kodiaks and helicopters – God is using Ethnos360 Aviation to facilitate the work of church planting.
