Immediately after the earthquake in Haiti there was so much destruction that aid flights from other countries could not land. That is aid flights from everyone but Missionary Flights International and its antique DC-3s. In the 2 weeks following the quake, this non-profit missionary support organization flew 230 missions into Haiti and moved 2 million pounds of supplies. Volunteers poured in from all over to marshal and load supplies. Donations came in at the rate of $300,000 per day at one point to keep them running. And they are still doing it, as they have since the 1970s. Its people are volunteers who raise their own support, they fly airplanes that were phased out by the mainline carriers in the 1950s, and they just keep getting the job done for the Kingdom. Well done faithful servants! Salt and light. Salt and light.
