On this episode of From the Hangar, host Lem Malabuyo sits down with Zacharie François, a Haitian who grew up in Port Au Prince, and also an MAF pilot/mechanic! Zacharie's family became close with the MAF team in Haiti before he was born, so Zacharie grew up steeped in the MAF community. Years later when Zacharie entered adulthood, he pursued a career in missionary aviation, and the rest is history.

Enjoy the conversation between Lem and Zacharie, as Zacharie tells his story and his desires to help fellow Haitians experience the love of Jesus!
