Adopt a Plane

Adopt a Plane – Mission Aviation Fellowship

You can help an MAF airplane bring desperately needed aid and assistance to needy people in remote places. For only $1 a day you can adopt a plane and help open the doors to the Gospel in places you’ll never go.

In the remote regions where MAF serves, daunting geographical barriers isolate people living in remote areas. These barriers prevent access to the Gospel and life-sustaining services, isolate millions. Most languish under spiritual and physical oppression, lacking the most basic resources.

Your caring sponsorship helps to transform lives. When you adopt a plane, you help cover fuel and maintenance costs for MAF planes to continue flying throughout the world. More than 600 Christian and humanitarian organizations as well as thousands of isolated nationals rely on MAF planes everyday.

Last year, the MAF fleet of 53 aircraft executed 37,490 flights, logged more than 3,014,031 miles, transported 111,459 passengers, and delivered 10,240,209 pounds of cargo–all on 1,700 rough, unimproved dirt and grass airstrips, or waterways.

In case you think they’re only after your money, go to their site and order an absolutely free-to-you book. Even if you don’t make any sort of donation.

Or, if you want to save them some money, buy the same book (different cover) by clicking the left image below. 😀

Veterans I Know

May there be many more to stand in their place in the ranks!

William Bennett asks, “Do you know our heroes?

That fits with a thought I had yesterday.

I personally know a few military veterans. One of them is Mark Hammerness. He and they are to be commended and thanked for serving their country.

But the veterans I have in mind are from a different type of war.
