NEWS FLASH!


We are so happy to tell you – we are missionaries with Proclaim Aviation Ministries! God is opening the door for us to share our wisdom and experience with young adults preparing to be missionary aviators.

Proclaim Aviation was started in 2002 and helps graduates from aviation schools move into full-time ministry.  They do this by getting graduates positions where they can gain hours as flight instructors and mechanics. Proclaim is sending us to  Moody Bible Institute's Aviation Program in Spokane, Washington. Moody has more than 60 years of experience training missionary aviators.  In coordination with Proclaim's home office, Paul will serve in a member care role that includes working with staff members serving in Spokane, as well as encouraging and mentoring students. Bridget will be testing and coaching students struggling with academics.

Perparations

Bridget and I are still in the process of joining Proclaim Aviation (a mission organization in the US) with the intention of working with students, interns and staff at
Moody Bible Institute's Aviation Program in Spokane, Washington. We want to meet students, interns and staff where they are and help them grow in their relationship with God so they can stay on target as they follow God and serve Him.  At this time, we are waiting for the directors of the institute and the mission to write a letter of understanding defining our specific roles.  

Meanwhile the director of Moody Aviation recommended we read some books so we can better understand the current culture of the students. Proclaim Aviation advised us to also take an intensive two-week class about partnership development during February. As you can imagine, we are up to our eyeballs in homework! We look forward to sharing with you the things we are learning. We would appreciate your prayers as we prepare for the ministry God has for us in Spokane. 

Medford First Baptist Church is continuing to oversee our transition and you can donate to our ministry though them.


Thanks for your interest. We will keep you posted as our adventure unfolds.

Blessings,

Paul and Bridget Abbott
