JAARS
JAARS began as “Jungle Aviation and Radio Service” in Peru in 1948, operating as a department of SIL International until it was officially incorporated in 1963. The original two aspects of service, aviation and radio, were soon followed by others - including IT support. The primary purpose of JAARS is to provide high quality technical support services to Wycliffe International and SIL International. JAARS provides equipment (including aircraft), training, and high quality technical services through qualified personnel in field locations where SIL International serves around the world. Wycliffe Australia members can serve with JAARS in the aviation or IT fields.
