Keeping Missionaries Connected

We’re grateful for Dave Spangler (above), Pete Shipps, Paolo Costa and Mark Mikarts as well as Missionary Flights International (MFI) in Ft. Pierce, FL,  who have graciously used their planes and time to deliver over 15,000 pounds of mail and missionary supplies since the Caravan crashed in December.

Dave is shown loading his plane for Port au Prince where he delivered those items. Then, he reloaded with packages already sent to Port au Prince and delivered those to the other airports where Agape serves missionaries.  Join us in praising God and giving thanks for all who are providing assistance.

Healthcare Evangelism Teams

All around the world, people are crying out for help. Christians have an enormous opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ  while helping people in need.  But first, we must choose to go. Agape Flights offers an exciting way for believers to join in the Great Commission by traveling overseas as a member of a Healthcare Evangelism Team.

Every mission adventure features the immense blessing of serving people in need. Working together, project team members may. . .

¨ take part in Healthcare Evangelism as you minister in orphanages, hospitals, schools or work camps.

¨ lead Kids Club ministry – puppets, skits, singing and balloons.

¨ deliver humanitarian aid to the needy

¨ utilize a variety of Christian videos in Spanish or Creole to share the Good News

Each team has places for both medical professionals and non-medical volunteers. You’ll receive training for your team before you go to work with ministries that already partner with Agape Flights.

Team Dates for 2008

June 7 - 14 September 6 - 13
October 4 - 11 November 1 - 8

As a mission trip participant, you’ll join other Christians of all ages to provide gifts of compassionate aid like food, clothing and medicine to people in poverty and despair. You’ll experience so much joy by meeting people at their point of need, touching the lives of the least, the last, and the lost with His hope and love.  The trips will include relationship building opportunities to help open the way for one-on-one sharing of the Gospel.

Agape adds service to missionaries 
in the Les Cayes area of Haiti

Agape adds a new area of service.  Families serving in the remote areas around Les Cayes on the western end of Haiti's southern peninsula now have access to Agape's services. 

Pray for all involved as we work out the logistic details of this ministry.

Spring Break Brings Student Volunteers

Palmetto Christian School

We look forward to Spring Break at Agape almost as much as students do! Not because of time off, but because we usually have student groups that come to the hangar to volunteer during their time off.

This year we Agape pilot Art McAninch who teaches Bible at Palmetto Christian School brought students from three different classes. As you can see below, they swept, mopped, sorted, bagged and even cleaned the expansion cracks in the floor as they helped prepare the hangar for Agape's annual Volunteer Cookout at the end of March.

Bell Shoals Baptist Church, Brandon

Over 40 middle school students and leaders worked hard until they exhausted our list! After lunch, each one took a card with the name and picture of a missionary family and wrote a letter of appreciation. Then they "mailed" their letter in Agape's mailroom, ready for delivery on the next flight.

Palm Grove Mennonite Church

 Manatee Southern Baptist Association Meets at Agape

Dr. Roger Dearing, Manatee County Superintendent of Schools, and School Board member Frank Brunner joined two dozen Manatee County Southern Baptist pastors at Agape Flights to discuss invocations at School Board meetings and how churches can protect themselves against charges of "child abuse."

Note from a Missionary Family

On behalf of all of the missionaries you service in the D.R. and Haiti, we want to thank you for a job well done for all you did for us this holiday season. Thank you for all the shopping you did for all of us, for all of the extra coordinating, time, effort, shopping, and chaos that was involved, and for the extra flights to ensure that all of our Christmas shopping and boxes from home came in time for Christmas. Our hearts are heavy laden with gratitude; that's the truth. Neither the finest thank you notes the world has to offer nor the most embellished words and phrases of thanks can begin to express our thanks and appreciation to you. But please know that we are grateful beyond our ability to express it. Your sacrifices in our behalf have been translated into great joy and pleasure, and much gratitude. Thanks to everyone for everything. May our Lord, who has seen and noted every sacrifice, every deed, every point of service, reward each and every volunteer and Agape Flights in full measure in your own areas and levels of need. Rick and Pam Mithun, missionaries in Santiago, DR
