The Mission of Brigade Air
For 25 years, Brigade Air has inspired young people toward serving in Christian mission and humanitarian aviation through a unique mentoring curriculum and summer aviation camping program. Today we continue the clarion call to young people through our legacy programs, speaking and writing. Missions aviation ministry has been called “one of the US church’s best kept secrets” and we aim to change that.
Global mission aviation agencies seeking new pilots, mechanics & other support personnel have adopted our strategy, making a positive impact on recruitment.
Strategic Partnerships
Since the beginning, Brigade Air has developed strategic partnerships with Christian camps, churches, missionary sending organizations and schools such as Wycliffe/JAARS, Moody Aviation and Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF). Our partnerships have increased our effectiveness introducing teenagers to aviation, and inspiring them to consider mission aviation as a life path. Read one of our camper’s stories here. Following Brigade Air camp, she trained, returned as a volunteer pilot flying another generation of campers, and is in final preparation to fly overseas as a missionary pilot.
