Mission Statement
JAARS covers the last mile of missions, using special-purpose aircraft, boats, and off-road vehicles so that unreached people can experience God’s Word and His love.
Description
We deliver God’s Word. Nearly 1.5 billion people, using more than 5,500 languages, do not have a full Bible in their first language. Many of these people live in the most remote parts of the world, where JAARS is uniquely called and equipped to reach. We work tirelessly to get there-so every person on earth can learn the truth of God’s love, follow Jesus Christ, and make disciples in their own communities.
