Hope Can’t Wait.
She couldn’t wait three days. She didn’t have to.
In remote Papua New Guinea, Samaritan Aviation turns rivers into runways, bringing lifesaving care to people who can’t afford to wait.
Give today. Keep hope ready for the next call.
Your Gift Can Go Twice As Far
This year, generous matching partners have made it possible for your year-end gift to be matched up to $160,000.
That means your gift can help twice as many flights take off, twice as much medical help reach remote villages, and twice as many families experience compassion and Gospel hope.

In Remote PNG,Waiting Can BecomeDangerous
For many families along the rivers of Papua New Guinea, the nearest hospital is not a short drive away.
No
road.ambulance.quick route to care.
A medical emergency means a long, difficult canoe journey — days of travel the patient cannot afford to wait through. That is why a Samaritan Aviation floatplane is more than transportation.
It is a lifeline.
When the aircraft lands on the river, a patient who could not wait can reach care in time. A family that felt alone is met with help. And through hospital ministry, prayer, encouragement, and the love of Jesus are carried to people who have felt forgotten.
Rivers become Runways
Help keep hope flying
Samaritan Aviation uses floatplanes to reach villages where roads do not. These flights are provided free of charge to patients and families because we believe lifesaving care should not be out of reach simply because someone was born in a remote village. Your generosity helps make that possible. Your gift helps support:
-
Emergency Life Flights
Patients in urgent need are flown to hospital care when there is no quick way by road.
-
Medical Supply Deliveries
Critical supplies reach remote aid posts and clinics along the river.
-
Hospital Ministry
Patients and families receive prayer, encouragement, practical help, and the hope of Jesus.
-
Aircraft Readiness
Fuel, maintenance, parts, insurance, pilots, and operations keep the aircraft ready before the next call comes.

That difference can change everything.
For a mother facing complications in childbirth,
three days may be too long.
For a child bitten by a snake,
three days may be too long.
For a newborn fighting infection,
three days may be too long.
But when the plane is ready,
hope can arrive in time.
Your year-end gift helps turn waiting into rescue.

Questions,
Answered.
Is my gift matched?
Yes. Generous matching partners have made it possible for gifts to be matched up to $160,000 during the Hope Can’t Wait campaign.
What does my gift support?
Your gift supports Samaritan Aviation’s lifesaving work in Papua New Guinea, including emergency life flights, medical supply deliveries, hospital ministry, and the aviation operations required to keep aircraft ready for the next call.
Are flights really free for patients?
Yes. Samaritan Aviation provides emergency flights free of charge to patients and families.
Why is aviation needed?
Many villages in remote Papua New Guinea have no road access to the nearest hospital. A medical emergency can require days of travel by canoe. Samaritan Aviation uses floatplanes to turn rivers into runways and bring patients to care much faster.
Can I give by check?
Yes. Gifts postmarked by Dec. 31 may count toward your year-end giving. Please make checks payable to Samaritan Aviation and include Hope Can’t Wait in the memo line.
