Past Response
Over the 40-year history of Agape Flights, there have been numerous natural disasters in the Caribbean. Floods, multiple hurricanes, and the Haiti earthquake in 2010. When disaster strikes, the Agape network of donors, churches and organizations, volunteers, missionaries, staff, and pilots form a community of immediate relief response to deliver love, care, healing and hope to the islands and people we serve every week.
What makes Agape’s disaster relief response different?
It’s the ready-made distribution network of trusted mission partners who already live in the disaster area, know the culture, and meet every flight filled with critical supplies. It’s Agape’s long and reputable history of working within the country. It’s our pilots who personally know and care about the airport workers and custom officials they see every week for regular mission flights. It’s a stateside community who understands Agape will collect and deliver the exact supplies our mission partners tell us are most critical, and adjust the supply deliveries as the disaster response needs change. It’s a generous community who contributes financially to keep the planes flying and others who donate thousands of dollars’ worth of supplies. It’s a volunteer force who will not stop, and most of all, our God who connects His people and supplies every need in the most miraculous way.Â
Agape’s primary ministry focuses on week-to-week service to support affiliated mission partners. When disaster strikes the Caribbean, the core elements of Agape’s mission flight program go into high gear and expands to meet the critical need. Â
It’s what we do. We Listen. We Respond. We Deliver.
Long after the world has forgotten the disaster, Agape flights will still be there every week, just as we have been for 40 years.Â
