Plane Faith, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit designed to promote missionary aviation and support missionary pilots while making and maturing disciples in the aviation community.
Dear Plane Faith Partners and Friends,
“All good things come to an end,” they say (whoever “they” are). It’s probably an overused expression, but it’s the one that has come to mind over the past several months, as I have contemplated the future of Plane Faith. But after a season of prayer and some careful consideration, the other members of Plane Faith’s board of directors and I have concluded that we may have accomplished with Plane Faith what God intended for us to accomplish, and that it is now time to wind things down. The simple truth is: Much of what originally burdened us and eventually led us to establish Plane Faith as a nonprofit ministry is now being addressed in other and better ways. And for that, we are thankful!
We are also thankful for the opportunity to participate, in whatever small way we did, in the work the various mission aviation organizations are doing to reach the most remote and isolated people on the planet with the good news about Jesus. As I recently told others on the Plane Faith team, some of what we accomplished through this ministry may never be known—not by us, anyway. But God knows. And He also knows why He led us the way He did to operate this little ministry for the season of work He had planned for it. And again, we are thankful to have been a part of it.
We are also thankful to each of you for the ways you have participated. Many of you have given. Many of you have prayed. Many of you have listened and shared. And because of your participation, we have been able to make a difference for God’s Kingdom.
I know you are receiving all sorts of year-end emails right now, so I will not make this one longer than it needs or deserves to be. I mainly wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation to all of you, and especially to those of you who believed enough in what we were doing to give over the years.
We do plan to stop receiving future donations at the conclusion of 2025. We will distribute the remaining funds we have to one or more of the many worthy mission aviation organizations we have partnered with in the past. And after that, we will officially wind things down at Plane Faith.
I do hope and pray you will remain interested in and committed to mission aviation. If you have been giving to Plane Faith, I encourage you to find another mission aviation organization to support in its place. Many are doing good work, which, in large part, is why we can bring things to a close here with peace about our decision.
May God bless you and your family in 2026. Thank you for your friendship and partnership over the life of Plane Faith. Press on in your work to see people from all nations come to know and love Jesus.
Grace and peace,
Jimmy Tidmore
