River's Edge supports missions throughout the world, including Agape Flights.
Agape Flights
Agape Flights is an independent Christian ministry dedicated to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and committing to fighting disease, poverty, and illiteracy by serving missionaries
in the Western hemisphere and beyond – all to the glory of God.
In 1980 Agape Flights began its ministry by supporting about 25 missionary families in Haiti who had an urgent need for a dependable mail and delivery service. Since then, Agape Flights
has grown to be a lifeline for about 350 missionary families in Haiti, Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas as it makes regular weekly flights to deliver mail, critical supplies, and
manpower resources and equipment.
Agape Flights receives and distributes millions of dollars worth of medicine, medical supplies, nutritional supplements, Bibles, school and office supplies, building materials, and other
items needed in the mission field. It responds to some 200 weekly requests from missionaries for information and needed supplies and also provides banking and other professional services for
them. Agape Flights coordinates short-term, volunteer mission teams, and organizes and implements missionary-initiated, self-sustaining community development projects. It encourages fellowship
among the missionary community and sponsors revivals and retreats for missionaries and their families. Agape Flights serves as a repair center and parts supplier and utilizes the Agape network
to speed disaster relief directly to those in need.
Agape Flights serves Christ by serving his missionaries on some of the most challenging mission fields in the world. It operates its ministry from a hangar at the Venice Municipal Airport in
Venice, Florida. The work of its full-time staff is led by its executive director, Allen Speer, and is supplemented by over 150 regular volunteers.
