🚨 Urgent Prayer Request 🚨

Today, Sophia Elias was flown from Yambun after experiencing placenta previa, a serious pregnancy complication that can put both mother and baby at risk.

Please pray for Sophia as she receives medical care. Pray for her safety, for wisdom for the doctors and nurses treating her, and for the health of her baby. Pray for peace and strength as she walks through this difficult situation.

Thank you for standing with patients like Sophia in prayer.

George’s story didn’t start on the day of his emergency.

Years earlier, he heard the good news of Jesus through missionaries and became a faithful follower. Over time, he stepped into leadership, serving as an elder in his church and pouring into others with that same hope.

So when severe abdominal pain left him unconscious, his life was suddenly at risk.

In a place where help is far away, a Samaritan Aviation floatplane landed to bring him to care. As Mark stepped out to help carry him aboard, he realized the man he was lifting was not a stranger, but a brother in Christ.

George was flown to the hospital on a free emergency medical flight, where treatment began immediately. As fluids were given, he slowly regained consciousness.

In the middle of it all, he said, “I place my illness in God’s hands and will let the doctors find the cause of this sickness.”

He spent his time watching the King of Glory series which details the Gospel in his own language, praying, and steadily growing stronger.

Today, George is well. He and his wife have returned home, and the work he leads in his community continues.

The same gospel that once reached George is still at work, and this time, it carried him to healing.

When outcomes are not what we hoped for, we grieve deeply.

In January, we transported Pessie, a 19-year-old young man, to the hospital after he suffered a chest wound from a wire weapon. He received a blood transfusion, underwent surgery to remove the wire, and was placed on oxygen as doctors worked to save his life.

We are heartbroken to share that Pessie passed away.

We were able to help return his body home to his family in Angoram. As they mourn this devastating loss, we hold fast to the truth that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit. Please join us in lifting them up in prayer.

Moments like this are a sobering reminder of how urgent the need is. Emergencies come without warning, and every second matters when someone’s life is on the line.

Raymi Paigin’s story started with a fall in Grin that left him with injuries across his face, nose, and eye. Thes are the kind of injuries that can’t just be cleaned and sent home. There was wood lodged in his eye, damage that needed time, precision, and ongoing care.
we flew out to bring him to the hospital where he could receive proper treatment.
His recovery took time. Doctors worked carefully over several days to remove debris from his eye while also treating the trauma to his face, and he was started on malaria treatment as well. As the days went on, he began to improve—regaining strength to sit, then walk, and eventually eat again, showing steady progress after a difficult start.
During his time in the hospital, Raymi watched the King of Glory series, a Bible story told in Tok Pisin that walks through the message of Scripture and who Jesus is. He followed along through the lessons and completed the series on the same day he was discharged.
By the time he left, Raymi was feeling much better and strong enough to return home, marking the end of a recovery that required both patience and consistent care.

Clemence Kura was injured in Timbunke by a bush knife, leaving him with a deep laceration to his abdomen. When we reached him and brought him to the hospital, he was extremely weak—his condition serious enough that he needed immediate and careful treatment.

The team focused first on stabilizing him. He received a blood transfusion to restore his strength before doctors could move forward with stitching his wound. In those early days, progress was slow, but it was clear he was improving. He went from being very weak to sitting up, talking, and eating again as his body responded to the care.

While he was recovering, our team spent time with him at his bedside. We prayed over him and shared the Good News, talking with him about who Jesus is and the hope found in Him, even in the middle of pain and healing.

Once he was strong enough, he was cleared for stitches, and his wound was properly treated. From there, his recovery continued steadily. His cuts began to heal, his strength returned, and he continued improving each day.

After receiving his final medication, Clemence was well enough to be discharged and return home—restored, healing, and having heard truth that goes beyond physical recovery.

Behind every emergency flight is a team working hard long before the engine starts.

Our aviation team recently spent time in dispatch training, sharpening communication, coordination, and response processes that help make lifesaving flights possible in some of the most remote places on earth. From weather and logistics to patient coordination and flight tracking, dispatch plays a critical role in every mission.

When emergencies happen along the Sepik River, preparation matters. We’re grateful for a team committed to serving with excellence so patients can get the care they need faster.

Colyna Waja’s sickness came on fast.

In Kaup, what looked like malaria quickly became something far more dangerous, cerebral malaria, a severe infection that affects the brain. For a seven-year-old, it doesn’t take long for this to turn critical.

By the time word reached us, she needed more than what was available in her village.
Our team took action quickly to reach her in time.

When the plane arrived, Colyna was carried onboard. Within minutes, they were in the air, leaving behind the uncertainty and heading toward the care that could save her life.

At the hospital, treatment began right away. With proper medication and monitoring, her body started to respond. What had been so severe began to ease, and day by day, she grew stronger.

As she recovered, she spent time watching the King of Glory series, a Bible story told in Tok Pisin that walks through who God is and what He has done. Lying there in a hospital bed, she heard about Jesus in a way she could understand, even as her health was being restored.

And then, just as quickly as things had turned for the worse, they turned again.
Colyna recovered.

She was discharged and able to go home, healthy, smiling, and back to being a child again. What could have been a very different outcome became a story of timely care, quick healing, and a moment where she encountered something far greater than her illness.

When you support Samaritan Aviation, you’re strengthening a network of missions across Papua New Guinea.

Through partnerships like this one with the Cizdziels, missionaries serving in the Wabuku Village with Ethnos360, the communities they serve are able to build deeper trust, because access to life-saving healthcare opens doors that might otherwise remain closed.

Compassion Crew makes moments like this possible. It helps carry the Gospel not only through our hospital ministry, but into the villages where long-term relationships are being built every day.
