I'm not a very religious person, however after Hurricane Sandy Samaritan's Purse set up a huge facility here on the Jersey Shore and did a lot of good works and offered aid to families. I was very impressed by how soon they were on scene. Now, off to Easter Services.
Happy Easter

Remember the male doctor and female nurse that got Ebola in Liberia and were evac'd to Emory last summer and fully recovered?

That was Samaritan's Purse...

I know who Samaritan's Purse is and I think I know what they do?

Over the years I've flown with a few folks that made me start praying as I was afraid for my life!*? I've never seen a pilot (or any other) job description that required a "One year Christian College"? Is that even legal?

What if you're not Christian?

Then you probably aren't interested in working for a Christian aid organization?

I think it would be a good job. You get to fly and help people in need all at the same time. I wonder how many hours these guys fly a month? I'm guessing the King Air in East Africa would be doing more work than the DC-8...

Actually it just says one year of Christian College or 12 hours of Bible studies preferred. So if you're not Christian you probably wouldn't have those.
