We want our focus to always be on Christ so we put that on the nose and the cross on the tail. We go in Jesus’ Name. Aviation is an incredible tool for Samaritan’s Purse. Every one of our cargo planes says ‘Helping in Jesus’ Name’ right across the nose of the aircraft. After a disaster strikes, we want people to know why we are bringing life-saving supplies. We want them to know that God loves them and they’re not forgotten. As we retire the DC-8, we are grateful to God for the 767 taking its place. It will allow us to transport far more supplies—faster and more effectively—and will continue the work of bringing the hope of the Gospel to people around the world.”

We pray this flight will bring relief to people who are suffering.”
“We’re just grateful that even though all these things are going on, we have the opportunity to serve,” Sarcos said. “Our networks are in place, even though they are suffering, too, and they are ready to minister to families and grateful for the opportunity to serve their own people and own community. Communities are so encouraged by the presence of Samaritan’s Purse and our churches.”
