Far Reaching Ministries Aviation
Far Reaching Ministries Aviation (FRMA) was founded by Vicky Bentley, in 2004. FRM and FRMA are evangelical Christian missionary and humanitarian 501(c)(3) organizations with the specific purpose of providing humanitarian resources, relief, education, and the presentation of the fundamental Orthodox Christian Gospel to the poor, deprived, uneducated, and persecuted people in various nations throughout the world. Ongoing funding and support is provided by individuals, churches, businesses, and private foundations.
Vicky Bentley is a keynote speaker at women’s conferences throughout the United States, as well as in Russia, Nepal, Sudan, Uganda, and Kenya.
Wes and Vicky Bentley were featured on a Focus on the Family radio program, with Dr. James Dobson, to discuss the cost of Christian discipleship around the globe.
When FRMA was established, the Board of Directors decided to put all the activities that pertain to women’s ministries under its umbrella. Both FRM and FRMA, together, have one solitary focus: discipleship.

FRMA’s Objectives:
Evangelism:
Far Reaching Ministries Aviation is committed to reaching the people of Africa and/or other impoverished countries or people, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, using any and all resource material available. These methods include showing The Jesus Film, holding open-air crusades, organizing and hosting conferences, providing Bibles, and other such literature.
For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding…when wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you. Proverbs 2:6, 10-11
And Jesus said unto them, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned.” Mark 16:15-16
Discipleship:
Far Reaching Ministries Aviation believes in capacity building on an individual level. When time is spent teaching and helping individuals study and know the Scriptures those individuals will go out and teach others. Some will even go on to full time ministry positions in their local churches. Small group Bible studies, workshops, and one-on-one counseling will build successful and strong Christians who know how to share their faith.
And Jesus said to those who believed in Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free…Most assuredly I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave to sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore of the Son makes you free you will be free indeed.” John 8:31-32,34-36
Children’s Ministry:
Far Reaching Ministries Aviation recognizes that children are the future for any nation. Investing in a child ensuring a successful tomorrow. Education, Bible training, medical outreach/awareness programs, and caring for orphans are priority for us.
Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them and said, “Assuredly I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this receives Me…Take heed you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father. Matthew 18:2-4,10
Women’s Ministry:
Far Reaching Ministries Aviation is committed to helping women through literacy training, Biblical discipleship, and the establishment of income generation projects.
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her worth is far above rubies…Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:10-30
Capacity Building:
Far Reaching Ministries Aviation believes in working with existing institutions and NGO’s. By combining resources and strengthening each other we can all be more effective in reaching our goals. We are especially committed to working alongside local churches, to build them and strengthen their presence in the community.
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:12-16
Humanitarian Relief:
Far Reaching Ministries Aviation seeks to transport food, clothing, and medical supplies to those in need. Jesus said that to give such things to the least of His brethren was the same as giving it to Him. We see relief and aid as an opportunity to share the love of Christ.
But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 1 John 3:17-18
Church Planting:
Far Reaching Ministries Aviation desires to assist in transporting missionaries and other religious workers who are seeking to establish new churches.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
