About Dale Black

CAPT. DALE BLACK is a seasoned expert in living by faith, partnering with God to make the impossible possible.

Following a devastating plane crash in which Dale was a passenger and the sole survivor, he was not expected to survive. He was given no chance of living a normal life…. From a coma with life-threatening injuries, to being confined to a wheelchair with no hope of walking, ever using his left arm, seeing out his right eye, or recovering his memory, he found the hidden biblical principles that make the power of faith work. Every time.

Dale has spent his life in three areas: aviation, business, and sharing the love of Jesus to countless thousands through ministry. For over thirty years Dale and Paula led scores of teams on short term Christian missionary projects to over 50 countries.

His career has included working as a former commercial pilot, airline pilot instructor, FAA designated jet examiner, and aviation accident prevention counselor. He has captained flights throughout the world—all while building and operating several businesses. With over forty years of professional flying experience, he has trained more than a thousand pilots, shaping the lives of celebrities and CEOs alike as an instructor pilot and jet aircraft manager.

Dale continues to touch people in ways that are life-changing. His greatest joy is to share the love of God—introducing people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Dale now spends his time writing and teaching. He is currently writing a book series called Messages From Heaven, just completing the first book–Atomic Faith.

A few months following Dale’s release from the hospital, while visiting the crash site, he vowed to fly over the monument again on the one-year anniversary date of the crash. It would take a miracle.

As Dale began the journey of recovery, he became a dedicated student of the Bible, delving into the miracle working power of Jesus. This journey led him to uncover what he calls the “secrets of atomic faith.” Dale got his life back! You can find more about his miraculous story in his books: Flight To Heaven and Visiting Heaven.

Against all odds, on the first anniversary date of the crash Dale flew a plane over the monument he had crashed into. Since that time, he completed a career as an experienced airline pilot and the owner of a successful jet aviation company. Dale and his wife, Paula, also started a non-profit ministry, sharing the gospel of Jesus and helping the needy in over 50 countries.
