Our Aims

Purpose
The purpose of the CMML Flight Service is to speed the spread of the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ in Word and deed, through aviation. It is our aim to assist the medical work, evangelistic outreaches, school work, and the travel needs of missionaries and short term workers. We are a support ministry to those who are at the forefront of various aspects of the work of the Lord in Zambia.

The Flight Service has improved communication immensely and strengthened coordination between the various mission institutions, particularly in rural areas. On several occasions, lives have been saved by transporting seriously ill patients to hospital and/or between hospitals for emergency surgery and more extensive treatment. In so doing the CMML Flight Service has been able to link up in Lusaka with Medical Rescue International from Johannesburg, when necessary to take advantage of emergency treatment in South Africa.

 

Use of the plane has saved an immense amount of missionary time in transporting missionary children to and from Sakeji, Amano and Chengelo schools and in meeting the international flights going to Rift Valley Academy in Kenya. Otherwise this would involve days of motoring on torturous roads. By connecting with international flights, the Flight Service facilitates those serving the Lord to travel to and from remote areas of this country, Zambia.

 

 

Our Aims are:

  • To allow missionaries and other personnel to move swiftly to and from their places of work.
  • To enable short-term workers and visitors to maximize their time in the field.
  • To provide a medical emergency service for all.
  • To help with the transportation of children to and from school.
  • To provide subsidy systems which will enable as many as possible to benefit from the flights.
  • To have an aircraft hangar with full maintenance facilities and a qualified aircraft mechanic.
  • To provide ground transportation in Lusaka for pilot and passengers
  • To provide accommodation in Lusaka for pilot, passengers and for CMML missionaries and others who travel through Lusaka by air or road.
  • To do services for those who do not get to Lusaka such as purchasing, visiting government offices etc.
  • To use the Flight Service and facilities in whatever way we can to further the Mission work in Zambia.
