Agape Flights meets Dr. Sanjay Gupta's definition of Success


Ready Willing and by God's Grace Able...to get supplies to the missionaries in Haiti, as Agape has done just that- for the last 30 Years!

I heard Dr. Sanjay Gupta state as the Chief Medical Correspondent on CNN July 12, 2010- While he was on his return visit to Port-au-Prince, Haiti- Dr. Gupta said, “the definition of success is NOT just getting supplies to Haiti…it IS getting supplies to the people.”

My perspective as a volunteer at Agape Flights…The Venice Florida based Christian Aviation Ministry…Agape Flights IS Dr. Gupta’s very definition of Success!!!!

Go to the Agape Flights web site and judge for yourself…
They have flown over 150 missions of relief flights into Haiti; And, as of June they delivered over half a million pounds of emergency supplies- NOT JUST into Haiti; But into the very hands of the missionaries who share with the poor and hungry...Agape's link in the supply chain to the poor and hungry...the missionaries! The mission, the operation you might say has been doing "IT" the very same way... for 30 years!!! Agape’s formula for success??? Prayer, Experience and MORE PRAYER!!!!

Heartwarming and Heart-wrenching stories daily from the missionaries in the field that Agape serves…through grief and God’s grace the prayers are being answered and hearts and lives are being changed for Christ.
Founders, Keith and Clara Starkey had a vision for the ministry in 1980 that took hold as Agape Flights and their remarkable walk in faith continues to glorify Christ in uncountable ways.
