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.

December 2020 Update
The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season was one of the most active in recent history. Even so, one might expect to experience a direct hit from a major hurricane once in a lifetime, maybe twice.

This year was more about partnership, about the larger community, and about hope for the future.
"Keep 'Em Flying!"
From time to time, our MAG aircraft need a double-portion of Tender Loving Care. That’s when we retrieve the aircraft from the field program, and bring it back to the US to be pulled apart, inspected inch-by-inch, refurbished with a couple new bells and whistles, and then put back together, with a new engine and prop.
