2009 marks the 10th Anniversary of Project AirPower, the first youth-sponsored missionary aviation project in history. It was in 1999 that Pathfinders joined AWA mechanics in refurbishing a 1970 Cessna 182N for service in Guyana’s jungle interior. This event was precipitated by a request from Adventist Arekuna and Akawaio tribal leaders for assistance in taking the gospel to 56 villages representing more than a dozen tribes scattered across nearly 400 miles of interior.

    Adventist-laymen Services and Industries granted funding to acquire a worn out sky diving airplane. God youth raised $50,000 to help refurbish and modify the aircraft for work in Guyana. Lake Union Conference elementary school children assembled 2,500 care packages as gifts to Amerindian children. Eventually over 10,000 Bibles were collected and distributed to those without the word of God.

    In 2008 the Pathfinder plane transported 1,093 passengers, delivered 18,800 pounds of medical supplies, food, and clothing, and facilitated the vaccination of thousands of villagers. One deadly whooping cough epidemic was stopped as was an outbreak of measles. By the end of 2008 AWA missionaries received requests from five villages (some with no Christian presence of any kind) requesting Bible workers to establish a Seventh-day Adventist Church in their village. Our website  www.flyawa.org is packed with stories, videos. Then, track the airplane’s flight activity via a GPS reporting system---"Spot".
