Reach Aviation, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) founded in 2019 with the vision of spreading the Gospel to the 100 unreached villages in Alaska. After an experience at a native youth camp in the Yukon Flats region of Alaska, our founder, Tyler Ray, felt the call to serve the Indigenous people of Alaska. He saw the need of the hurting youth, but also the need of the pastors and missionaries already established in Alaska's villages. With only 20% of Alaska accessible by road, air transportation is a vital daily resource for missionaries. However, the cost of chartering an aircraft is prohibitive for many ministry opportunities. Tyler saw the need and decided that it could be met by a company dedicated to fulfilling that need at no cost to the pastors or missionaries. Thus, Reach Aviation was born.

Now, Reach Aviation is preparing to transport pastors and missionaries into villages with established biblical leadership as well as into villages with no biblical influence. Our goal is to raise up Indigenous leaders from within each of the villages to pastor the local church plant and disciple their community while we support and mentor them in ministry. In doing so, we will be able to combat suicide, substance abuse, and sexual abuse epidemics in the villages by fostering meaningful relationships and sharing the love, hope, and freedom that Jesus freely offers.

     God has done amazing things in Alaska's villages already, and we trust He is only going to increase the harvest!
