Preserving Kingdom resources is part of MSI’s DNA. Our efforts keep ministry funds in ministry instead of cleaning up the physical, emotional and spiritual damage which results from aircraft accidents. Investing in MSI’s work results in a life-saving difference in the lives and ministry of missionary aviators.
Become an MSI Ministry Sustainer by contributing regularly to our work or supporting one of our staff. Or take the next step and become an MSI Ministry Builder by undergirding one of the new projects under development.

If you have the expertise and a desire to make a difference, MSI can often provide opportunities to utilize your talents and experience in a missionary aviation context.
Volunteer Opportunities
Safety audits are one of the most frequent and effective services we offer. MSI makes use of qualified volunteer auditors to help lighten the load. If you have aviation safety auditing experience and the inquisitive mind that it takes to analyze an aviation operation, we might have a place for you on one of our audit teams. Audits typically take 3-5 days to accomplish and include on-the-job orientation to MSI’s audit system as part of the experience.
Qualities we look for in an ideal auditor include:
- Good listener
- Inquisitive mind / life-long learner
- Able to ask probing questions
- Observant
- Team player
- Not overly biased by their background and work history
- Understands the missionary aviation environment
- At least 3 references
- At least 5 years experience working in a safety program
Take the stage at one of our safety seminars to teach and inspire those involved in, or training for, missionary aviation work. Our seminars take aviators out of their normal routines to focus specifically on the things which will keep them safe and effective in their work.
Qualities we look for in an ideal presenter:
- Subject matter expert in the specific area of focus or someone with compelling life-lessons to share
- Comfortable and capable teaching, presenting and/or sharing life-experiences
- Presents at a professional level in terms of content, capability, language, and illustration
- Understands and/or appreciates missionary aviation work
- Recommended by MSI staff or other industry leaders and vetted by the MSI seminar coordinator
