Helicopter Rides

Have you ever wanted to experience flying in a helicopter?  Well, you have the opportunity to do so right here in our community.  As part of Lyerly Church's 2024 Missions Conference, we will be partnering with a ministry that we support called JAARS (Jungle Aviation and Relay Service).  Located in Waxhaw, NC, JAARS provides transportation for Wycliffe Bible Translators who serve in remote areas of the world, which are often without access roads.  In Waxhaw (outside of Charlotte), they maintain equipment and train pilots in using helicopters, small planes, four-wheelers, and boats.
