About this organization
Mission
Agape Flights is a nonprofit Christian aviation ministry serving hundreds of missionaries in the Caribbean. Mission partners need resources to impact the Caribbean for Christ. We listen. We respond. We deliver. Mission flights depart weekly from Agape's hangar in Venice Florida to Haiti, the Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic, and deliver humanitarian aid into Cuba as regulations allow. Living in a world where resources are few, the infrastructure is sparse, and the challenges are great, Agape Flights' timely deliveries of mail, cargo, and humanitarian aid are vital to sustain missionaries and their ministries.
