Here is a list of the materials we still need for Saturday's Horseshoe Bend mission project. You can donate any item on the list by purchasing the items online, making them available for pick up at the Weatherford, TX Lowes under the name "Texas Air Missions," and letting us know you did that. You can also donate any amount with no fees online at our donation page (https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/support-the-maps-ministry) and we can purchase the items on your behalf. Or, you can purchase the items yourself and bring them to the work day this Saturday at 9am. Just let us know so we don't purchase items that have already been donated. We have already purchased the MC cable from our funds so it will be here in time. Please pray with us for God to provide the items on this list. Thank you!

Hi, friends. We wanted to put some needs out there before we purchase some much needed items for the hangar. We need the following:

-Lockers for volunteers to store their keys, wallets, jackets, etc. while they work on the airplanes.
-A fridge to keep some drinks readily available to our volunteers.
-Metal bed frames to make all kinds of shop aids and for the aviator apprentices to practice welding.
-Anything with casters. We use casters on shelves, work benches, parts stands, and lots of other things we need to move around the hangar from project to project.

If anyone has any of these items they'd like to donate to support the mission, we'd be grateful and can arrange to pick it up.

We were blessed, today, with a donation from Servolution Network for some building materials for two of our upcoming missions! Plus they donated these two rocking chairs for our rec room that Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth had set up as a tribute to veterans. We actually have a spot set aside that's just right for a couple of rocking chairs, a blessing we didn't even see coming!
If you have building materials to donate or want to volunteer some trade skills with an organization being the hands and feet of Christ right here in Parker County, you can't go wrong with these folks.

We're about to have some new friends in the hangar!

We're about to have some new friends in the hangar!

We are so excited to make the announcement!

Please join us in welcoming Mason and Hannah Cito to the Texas Air Missions family! Mason will be serving as a mission pilot and maintenance specialist.

Mason's passion for aviation began at age 13 through his local EAA chapter in Colorado and ultimately led him to earn his Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certificate in 2025. Along the way, he and Hannah developed a heart for ministry, outreach, and sharing the hope of Christ with those around them.

Hannah, originally from Alaska, completed Bible school in Colorado and built a career as a certified dog trainer before feeling called to serve alongside Mason in full-time ministry. Together, they have faithfully served in their local church and are committed to using their gifts wherever God leads.

This July, Mason and Hannah will be relocating from Nebraska to Texas to join Texas Air Missions as we continue using aviation to serve others and share the love of Christ.

We're excited to see how God works through their lives and ministry in the years ahead. Welcome to the team, Mason and Hannah!

A fun evening wrapping up the MAPS season with a party, fellowship, games, and an ice cream buffet.

All set for the last MAPS meeting of the season. Students will take their last pilot ground school test for the material covered this year and then we'll play some games and enjoy an ice cream buffet. While we won't have any more regularly scheduled Monday night meetings until next fall, we still have plenty of projects going on in the hangar and will have lots of chances to get together. You don't have to wait until the fall to join us!
