Anchorage | Aviation Mechanic and Maintenance Support
Opportunity Overview:
SEND North is eager to add a full-time aviation mechanic to our team to help us maintain our fleet of four, single-engine airplanes. Our small aviation team serves our village ministries with a heart of service and safety. These planes carry kids to Bible camp, missionaries to their homes, and the Gospel message to villages that have no church. Maintaining a safe and cost-effective fleet of airplanes is central to our ability to effectively share the Gospel in rural Alaska. Do you have a heart for aviation ministry? Please talk to one of our missions coaches!
