Together we decided to use our lives to help others. We want to help people in need practically and spend hope through Gods word and his love.

Our motivation

At the beginning of our journey we were able to spend an intensive time in Central America (travel blog). Through these experiences and impressions we got an idea of how great the need for help in poorer parts of the world is. Since then, the desire to help people practically and through the the gospel has been burining in us.

Initially, Christoph worked for the Torchbearers Christian Leisure and Bible School Center at Tauernhof in Styria (AT). But the desire to help people in poorer parts of the world has remained in our hearts. After a lot of back and forth, we decided to prepare for mission aviation. At first it seemed almost impossible to conquer this mountain. Trusting in God, we decided to start a professional pilot training in Linz (AT) (AeronautX), which he successfully completed after 15 intensive months. During this time, he gained his first bush flying experience in South Africa.

In the meantime Christoph worked as an IT technician and attended various trainings in a mission flight school in the Netherlands (MATC). As mission pilots have to maintain the aircraft themselves, Christoph attended an aircraft mechanic training in Ionia, Michigan (SMAT). During this time he also gained his US pilot licenses.

Christoph now fulfills all requirements to work as pilot and mechanic in a third world country.

If it is God’s will, we can start our work in Honduras soon. We trust God that he will provide the needed supporters to make this mission possible.

We believe…

that the Bible is God’s inspired, unfailing word and is therefore the absolute authority for our faith and actions.
in an almighty, eternal, holy, merciful and loving God who exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
that God created man in his own image.
in the Fall and the redemption and restoration through Jesus alone.
that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, was fully human and at the same time God.
that Jesus Christ died on the cross for all the sins of mankind, and through his resurrection he conquered death.
in the Holy Spirit, who convicts people of their sin, who dwells in believers and gives them the certainty of forgiveness and eternal life.
that justification before God is given not through works, but only through faith in Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and man.
that Jesus Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead and to rule as eternal King.
in the physical resurrection of the redeemed to eternal life with Christ in the kingdom of heaven and of the lost to eternal punishment in hell.
in the spiritual unity of all believers as the true church, with the task of preaching the gospel until Christ comes again.
