About MAC

Mission Air Care is a purposeful fundamental, “baptistic”, missionary cooperative designed to plant, and service other fundamental church planters. Established in 2001, MAC provided logistical support to affiliated ministries that work in Alaska. After 15 years of faithful service in as a missionary aviator in Alaska, including much prayer and consideration, God directed Bro Earl to move and expanded the ministry of MAC to include all of North America. MAC is now based in North Carolina, and reaches into Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

Our full-service ministry was created to assist church planters as they strive to fulfill “The Great Commission” and meet the spiritual needs of families who live in remote areas, including those who have been devastated by natural disasters. MAC desires to do this in a way that will “Promote a High View of God Through Aviation Ministries.”

Who We Are

Our full-service ministry was created to assist church planters as they strive to fulfill “The Great Commission” and meet the spiritual needs of families who live in remote areas, including those who have been devastated by natural disasters. MAC desires to do this in a way that will “Promote a High View of God Through Aviation Ministries.” We have affiliated missionaries in Northern Maine, Florida, and many places in between.

Brother Earl Malpass resigned as operations supervisor of a major turbine engine repair & overhaul facility, moved his family to North Pole, AK in 2001 to begin MAC, and now serves as the Founder/Director of the ministry. The Malpass’ are members of and are sent out of Twin Rivers Baptist Church in New Bern, NC. If you desire to know more about his family and MAC, please contact Bro Malpass to schedule a meeting.

Bro Chris Holaday spent 20 years serving our country in both the US Marine Corps and US Army. God has called him and his family to put those skills and abilities of service to use in MAC. Chris serves as the Chief Pilot/Flight Instructor within MAC. The Holaday Family is sent out of Grace Baptist Church in Ozark, AL and currently on the Pre-Field Ministry (aka: Deputation) trail ministering to churches as the endeavour to raise support quickly. If you desire to know more about his family and MAC, please contact Bro Holaday to schedule a meeting.

Bro Nate Holmes spent many years serving our country as well, filling a vital role as a contractor overseas, both operating and instructing in the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. After returning from an overseas tour, the Lord directed Bro Nate to start what has become a very well managed, and profitable solid waste hauling business. Nate & his family are currently faithful members of Desert Gateway Baptist Church in Gilbert, AZ. After years of prayer and seeking the Lord’s leading, Nate has been called of God to move to North Carolina this spring and serve with MAC as our Operations Manager.

We’re told, in Ecclesiastes 4:12, “And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” We are grateful for the team the Lord has assembled in the Expansion and Future vision for Mission Air Care.

What We Do

In remote areas of the world, it is expensive and difficult to live and minister in villages without road service to the outside world. Therefore, MAC is organized as a Baptist Cooperative based in North Carolina. The ministry is not limited to just a flying service, but includes temporary missionary housing, storage, purchasing, expediting, aircraft maintenance, flights incidental to the ministry, and logistical support to affiliated, like minded ministries. By God’s grace, MAC has been able to assist several missionaries in survey trips to villages, as well as train several missionary interns for service in the Lord’s Army. MAC has even used innovative means to get the Gospel into the hands of dog mushers by handing out John & Romans at scores of dog sled races in Alaska. We are missionaries first!

How We Do It

Anything good that is done, to God be the glory. We’ll take the blame for everything else! MAC is a traditional faith-based ministry existing by the generous prayers and gifts of churches and friends. Gifts are sent through Baptist Missions to Forgotten Peoples, a 501c3 corporation based in Jacksonville, FL. Equipment and special projects are funded by designated gifts and offerings.
