Flying with Purpose - A Day with an MAF Pilot Mission Aviation Fellowship 2023-01-30 | Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a floatplane pilot looks like? Well, meet Jack Gandy - a pilot of our only amphibious floatplane throughout our fleet.
Thank You for 2022! Mission Aviation Fellowship 2023-01-07 | It’s a new year, a fresh start. As we prepare to step into all the things the Lord has planned for MAF, we are in awe of how He worked through you in 2022. We can’t thank you enough. Whether you prayed for our missionaries around the world, helped spread the word about the ministry, or supported MAF financially, you blessed us and the people we serve.Because of you, isolated people had access to food, clean water sources, education, Bibles, healthcare, and disaster or crisis relief. And, most importantly, many heard the gospel for the first time in their remote village. The name of Jesus came near to them, and lives have been changed by His love!Thank you for the part you played in delivering help, hope, and healing through MAF.
The Trail that Leads to Joy Mission Aviation Fellowship 2022-12-19 | In Papua, Indonesia, the community of Puluk heard about how Bible teachers had come to their neighbors in Mokndoma and given them the gospel of Jesus. They wanted to receive the good news as well and hoped that teachers would come and live among them and teach them about God, but Mokndoma is a three-day journey from Puluk. Thanks to MAF, that three-day journey was reduced to ten minutes, and the people of Puluk were able to hear and learn about Jesus Christ.
Fuel Run to Long Sule Mission Aviation Fellowship 2022-12-12 | Every person deserves to experience the help, hope, and healing of Jesus Christ.But, as you might know, there are people living in geographic isolation. These people are cut off from many of life's basic necessities - like medical care, access to education, food and clean water, and the gospel. The airplane is a wonderful tool for these communities. What could take days of trekking over dangerous terrain takes only minutes in an airplane. But, because of their locations, logistics to make sure our airplanes have fuel is a little more difficult than it is in the States. We do what we call fuel runs - essentially delivering barrels of fuel from one location to a key, strategic points in between flight legs. Take a look at what a fuel run looks like in Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Your support plays a direct part of the impact that Bettina is having. By joining the Flight Crew, your monthly gift enables isolated people to receive help, hope, and healing via MAF flights.

Tiffany Brame - Mechanic in Kalimantan Mission Aviation Fellowship 2022-09-27 | Meet Tiffany Brame! Tiffany is a maintenance specialist located in Tarakan, Kalimantan, Indonesia. And she's got a great story. Before she earned her pilot's license, she had already gone to school for her A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) certificate. While she had progressed to become a certified flight instructor, she always felt a pull towards the maintenance side of things and, at the same time, felt called to be a missionary overseas.Maintaining an airplane is incredibly different than something like your car. Often people take their car in to the shop once something breaks. But, that's not an option for our pilots. So, maintenance specialists like Tiffany look for things well before they break. Enjoy meeting Tiffany. She shares about her experience living in Indonesia, what it's like working with local staff, and how much fun she's having serving with her skills and talents! #iflyMAF

A River Trip into the Heart of Borneo Mission Aviation Fellowship 2022-09-14 | It’s a rare thing if one of our writers gets a chance to visit an overseas program and experience true isolation. But, in June, Natalie Holsten visited Kalimantan, Indonesia, where her family had previously served for 10 years. She traveled with our video producer Lem Malabuyo to resource stories and videos for future use. This was Natalie’s first time back to Indonesia since she had relocated with her husband David and kids back to the United States in 2018.The fact that she knew the language, Bahasa Indonesia, was a great help in conducting interviews with Lem. She was a little rusty, but it quickly came back.While there she and Lem had the unique experience of watching the MAF Kodiak take off from a village while leaving them behind, cut off from the rest of the world.At one point they traveled with this team by motorized canoe for two hours up river to reach an even more isolated place, Long Belaka. Take a look to see what this trip was like.Without your support, and the ability to fly our airplanes into remote places, this trip would be all too common (and a lot more difficult). Thanks for your support to continue to bring help, hope, and healing through Jesus' love to isolated people.

Yali Bible Delivery Mission Aviation Fellowship 2022-09-08 | Have you ever thought about the great lengths Bible translators must go to learn and record an undocumented language, and then to translate the entire Bible into that language? It’s a process that takes decades. Then when you consider all the people who anxiously waited for God’s Word to arrive in their heart language—and those who are still waiting—it’s crazy!Enter this video about the Yali language translation and how excited they are about a new delivery of freshly printed Bibles to their village in Papua.But first, let’s go back 50-some years ago, when two missionaries trekked for days through difficult jungle terrain because they wanted to bring the gospel to the hostile Yali tribe. Then, as they were scouting out a place for a possible airstrip in the Yali area, the first arrows began to pelt their bodies. Their deaths were not in vain because, afterwards, God worked through a series of events to open the door for another interaction with the tribe. And, a short time later, the Yali people asked for missionaries to move to their village. Today, this once-warring tribe lives in peace. And when MAF pilots recently landed in the remote village of Holuwan carrying reprints of the Southern Yali Bible (completed in 2000), they experienced quite a beautiful reception.In Papua, MAF flights have played a part in six complete Bible translations. And we’re currently supporting several more. It’s because of your partnership that we can be involved in this meaningful work to see isolated people changed by the love of Christ.
A Front Row Seat Mission Aviation Fellowship 2022-09-06 | Did you know that there are a community of dedicated partners who give monthly to make the stories that we share happen?Flight Crew members get VIP access VIP access to specially curated videos from the field, podcast episodes, vintage MAF videos, and impact stories. It’s like having a front-row seat to the work of MAF.Monthly giving is a great way to ensure that isolated people have access to medical care, education, food supplies, clean water, emergency help during natural disasters, and more … every month, all year long. Most importantly, it gives the people we serve the chance to know the love and hope of Jesus.Take a look at this video as Dave, one of our pilots in Papua, share a message about how Flight Crew members bring help, hope, and healing to isolated people around the world.
