Missionary Air Group (MAG) utilizes AIRCRAFT to deliver MEDICAL care, relief, and ministry services to REMOTE people groups - showing genuine COMPASSION, after the example of JESUS.
Each year seems to be summarized by a definable ministry theme, phase, or focus - usually not of our own design. This has been true ever since the start of MAG’s work in Honduras over 20 years ago. And yet, there has always been the consistent thread of showing genuine compassion in the name of Jesus.
March has arrived, and with it dry season has shown its dusty face about a month early. The grass has turned brown and wildfires have began. I am praying that the rain will come early this year.
Our annual brigade was the biggest yet. During the course of a week we saw over 860 patients. As usual we had people come from all over this area to receive medical and dental care. This year we had some new things to offer those who came to see us.

We are praising God for blessing our efforts in Honduras and for achieving many significant milestones this year. We flew the highest number of life-flights. We reached more villages with Vacation Bible School. We hosted two pastoral training sessions and held many community outreach events, all geared towards evangelism and life transformation- more eternal impact than any prior year!
We were also privileged to be joined by a Central America representative of Faith Comes By Hearing, who work to equip believers worldwide with access to the Bible in audio format. She brought solar-powered audio devices with the Bible in Miskito and Spanish. These devices will empower the church leaders to share God’s word with their communities.
This past month has been unusually busy. We had many different cases of emergency flights. Cancer, burns, surgeries, fractures, heart conditions.
VBS always holds a special place in our hearts. This year our missionaries were able to have VBS in 5 different locations, two of which were new. They came with expectant faces.
As I manage the varied facets, projects, and demands of an international ministry, I find myself in need daily of [SOMETHING] that I have no way of providing— something that requires God’s grace and provision. So we pray. And then, amazingly, God supplies— and we are humbled and grateful and in awe of Him.
In March, Rus Rus welcomed a diverse team of medical professionals, pastors, and lay people made up of Miskitos, Austrians, North Americans, Mestizo Hondurans, and Germans; all selected by the hand of God to strategically serve His people together for a week of medical missions.
New missionary staff and aircraft have been deployed to MAG’s Rus Rus mission base in 2021. After a challenging year including hurricanes and a global pandemic, the MAG team is ready to begin a whole new season of ministry among the remote Miskito people group.
