Mission Flight Program

Agape’s Mission Flight Program supports more than 60 regular mission flights per year.

Mission flights are the core of our work and vital to changing and saving lives. The Agape Flights’ hangar serves as the home address and stateside connection for more than 300 missionary partners serving in the Bahamas, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. Weekly flights deliver mail and urgently needed supplies to families serving in the above mentioned countries. Agape’s affiliated missionary partners meet every flight and serve as the distribution network to ensure that provisions reach their intended destination.

“MISSION FLIGHT PARTNER” OPPORTUNITY

Mission Flight Partners are needed to help underwrite expenses associated with one or more mission flights annually. Flight sponsorship opportunities begin at $7,000. Mission Flight Partners may choose to underwrite a flight in recognition of a special person or occasion. Partners are also encouraged to meet and pray with the pilots of their sponsored flight. Upon completion of the mission flight, Partners are provided with photos from the flight.

Investments made by our Mission Flight Partners make a significant impact in Kingdom ministry. Together, we serve and fly for Jesus!

With the generosity of Mission Flight Partners, the long standing Mission Flight Program of more than 42 years continues to expand…

The core mission project was initiated in 1980 when Agape Flights began making weekly mission flights to Haiti. Mission flights originally began with service to Cap Haitien, Haiti. One year later, this one airport location expanded into two with service to Port au Prince, Haiti. Then, in 2001, two more service locations for missionaries were added in the Dominican Republic. In 2006, Les Cayes, Haiti was added, and most recently, in 2015, Agape began service to missionaries in Jeremie, Haiti. On February 22, 2016, Agape Flights gained the approval to begin flying humanitarian supplies into Cuba. The inaugural mission flight to Cuba on August 22, 2016 delivered 26 water purification units and enough food packets to provide over 10,000 meals to those in need of nourishment. The number of flights to Cuba will increase as regulations and resources allow.

Agape’s annual Mission Flight Program expense is more than $750,000.

The Mission Flight Program supports more than 60 regular mission flights per year.
