A word from Mike:
Dear Mission Flight family & friends,
We are occasionally called to trust God during unexpected crises. In April, our ministry partner, Buen Pastor Hospital in San Quintín, Mexico—where our biannual April and September optical clinics are located—received notification of new, strict federal standards that must be met within 120 days. They are in now dire need to finish upgrading the surgical suites to remain open.
The hospital originally followed a 10-year development plan with approved permits. However, when those permits came up for renewal, they were denied, and a set of more stringent federal requirements was imposed. An appeal filed through Mexico City was also denied.
On April 9th, Dr. Jairo (MF lead ophthalmologist) and I met with the medical director, Dr. Rita Gonzalez, in response to her urgent plea for help. MissionFlight is committed to standing with Dr. Rita and Buen Pastor Hospital as they continue to serve the impoverished in San Quintín.
In the love of Christ,
Mike Gabelman
Founder & Director

Patient Story - San Quintín Eye Clinic
Anna is 63 years old and found her way to our clinic after a family member told her about the work being done here. She recently underwent surgery to remove a cataract from her right eye, a procedure that has changed what her future looks like.
For Anna, the most significant change is that she will finally be able to drive again. Reclaiming that part of her life means regaining the freedom to move through the world on her own terms.
She felt the impact of the clinic beyond just the medical care, noting the way the staff interacted with everyone who walked through the doors. “They treat their patients with kindness here,” Anna said. “They have a big heart.”
Filled with gratitude, she wanted to give thanks to God and the entire team for the care she received. As she prepared to head home, she asked to send a hug to everyone who came to help.
