Our Team
Austyn Leonard a private pilot from Lexington, North Carolina and the founder of Faithful Flyers. "Shortly after graduating college, God placed a calling on my heart to pursue aviation. This calling was not only for a career change, but to use Aviation as a platform to further Gods kingdom! As Jesus tells us in Matthew 28, we are to go out and make disciples of all nations. What better way to do that than aviation!"

Colossians 3:23-24
"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."
Joshua VanderElst, a commercial pilot and certified Flight Instructor. "Throughout my life God has continually blessed me often in ways I didn’t recognize at the time. Over the past several years, I’ve had the opportunity to earn my pilot certificates and grow as an aviator. Now I feel called to use the skills and experience he’s given me to serve others and point them to Christ. Proverbs 3:5-6, states “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” Looking back, I see how true that has been in my journey, and my goal now is to reflect God‘s love and help others come to know him more deeply."
