The true strength of Pilots for Christ lies in our chapters. One person
working alone can do many things in His name, but a chapter working together can
accomplish miracles in His name. This page lists PCI's many chapters. If one
exists in your area, get active in it. If not, we will be more than happy to
help you start one. It isn't difficult. Contact our President,
Lee DeArmond, to learn how.
