Focus
Most people look at work primarily as a source of income, some even viewing it as a curse imposed on us as punishment from God. The Fellowship of Christian Airline Personnel believes that God places a high value on work and is deeply interested in our work, our performance on the job and our relationships with our co-workers.

We recognise that both our work and the way we relate to people in the workplace is of great importance to God. So it is our mission: "To represent Christ in the airlines through meaningful relationships and quality work."

Purpose
The purpose of FCAP is twofold:

(1) To encourage Christians to walk with the Lord Jesus Christ, enjoying His presence and possessing His power to be salt and right in the job God has given them in ‘the airlines.

(2) To encourage the Christian airline employee to help carry out the Great Commission, introducing fellow employees to Jesus Christ and helping them grow toward spiritual maturity.

History
The ministry of FCAP was formed in 1973 when 50 people from eight different airlines in the United States and Canada met to consider how God wanted them to serve Christ in and through the airline industry.

Since that time, the ministry of FCAP has spread into 44 countries and over 90 areas of the world.

Presently, there are approximately two million airline employees in the world. It is our prayer and desire that God would use this ministry to establish a group of growing Christians who will be a light source for Jesus Christ in every airline or airline station of the world through their personal relationship with Christ and their laboring together in this harvest field.

"If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, your strength will support me."
(Psalm 139:9-10)

Our Commitment
To take Christ into the workplace by living out our faith in words and actions (2 Corinthians 2:14).

To do our work wholeheartedly as unto the Lord realising we represent Christ in the quality of our performance on the job (Ephesians 6:6).

To remain steadfast in our walk with Jesus Christ even in the midst of difficulties (1 Corinthians 15:58).

To seek out other Christians in the workplace, encouraging one another to live the Christian life on the job and to seek to reach co-workers with the life changing Gospel of Jesus Christ (John 13:35).

Our Challenge
To reach airline employees worldwide letting Christ’s light and love shine through our lives.

To establish groups of growing Christians in every airline station around the world.

To confront the worldly values in our own personal lives by seeking to gain an eternal perspective even in the midst of temporal uncertainties.

Together identifying our daily challenges at work and praying that God would use these for an opportunity to let our light shine amidst the darkness (2 Corinthians 4:6).
