HOPE FOR THE FUTURE In tough times, as well as good times, God has blessed MAF with faithful supporters like you. Spend time reflecting on how God has blessed you in your life and know that, as a loving Father, He will continue to bless you and MAF.

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE Life can feel overwhelming, but God will never forsake us. Just as MAF’s founders had a huge task ahead, we know that, ‘He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus’ (Philippians 1:6, NIV).

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE Since MAF’s rural airstrip review in PNG, most have re-opened. Our airstrips are gateways to the world’s remotest communities, but they need to be maintained for safety. Pray that local people will understand the importance of this and look after their runways.

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE Praise God for the construction of Lailenpi Airstrip in Myanmar. People will no longer have to travel for three days by road to reach their nearest hospital — in future, it will take just 55 minutes by air. Saving time saves lives.

Lailenpi airstrip in Myanmar will hugely benefit the local communities of Chin State

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE MAF recently launched its Engineer Training Scheme. Recruiting experienced aviation staff who are Christians is hard, so we’re growing our own! If you know someone who might be interested in a career in aviation engineering, please direct them to our website www.maf-uk.org/engineer-training

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE Aviation has been hit hard by the pandemic, resulting in fewer MAF flights. Thank God that He has blessed MAF throughout. Let’s quieten our hearts and pray that flying levels in 2021 will exceed expectations!

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE Despite the challenges of coronavirus, God is still in control. ‘For I know the plans I have for you… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’ (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV). Pray for God’s wisdom for MAF International CEO Dave Fyock, as he leads the Resourcing Groups and Norm Baker, as he leads MAF International's operations.

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE This Father’s Day, we remember orphans in the countries where MAF serves — children who have lost their mothers and fathers because of conflict, disease or poverty. Praise you, Lord, that You are the ‘Father to the fatherless’ (Psalm 68:5) and care deeply about their future.

HOPE FOR THE CHILDREN Pray in faith for the hundreds of children living in refugee camps in Uganda and South Sudan, where MAF has programmes. Pray against fear, hunger and illness, and pray for hope, friendship and safety as they grow.

HOPE FOR THE CHILDREN Pray for Jo Crotty as she leads the education support for MAF children in the Asia-Pacific region. Based in Mount Hagen in PNG, Jo’s work provides support and encouragement as the children do their schooling in a very different environment to the UK.

noreply@blogger.com (MAF UK) — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 06:30:00 +0000

HOPE FOR THE CHILDREN Pray for the children of MAF’s international staff. Be still and think about how the Bible teaches us to place a value on people of all ages. What can we learn from children in the Bible about listening to God, resilience, love and forgiveness? Consider reading the stories of Joseph, Moses and Samuel.

HOPE FOR THE CHILDREN Jesus said, ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven’ (Matthew 18:3, NIV). As you meditate on this Scripture, pray that many of the remote and isolated people served by MAF will come to Him with childlike trust and adoration.

HOPE FOR THE CHILDREN For the last two years, MAF has helped Year 8 and 9 students travel on a school exchange between Nhulunbuy Christian College and Gäwa Christian School in Arnhem Land. Pray that the shared experiences help the children build a richer understanding of their different cultures.

MAF Arnhem Land supports partnership between two Christian schools bridging two cultures in Australia's Northern Territory - indigenous (YolÅ‹u) and non-indigenous (Balanda)

HOPE FOR EQUALITY Please read our latest issue of Flying for Life, or visit our website or social media pages. Ask God to show you an area of inequality that He wants you to pray about. Pray in the context of MAF’s work, the worldwide Church, and your own personal journey.

HOPE FOR EQUALITY Equality is not the same as uniformity. MAF staff are all different and their diversity is a great strength. Pray for the 1,000 or so people working for MAF today — a vibrant mixture of national and international staff all working together to bring help, hope and healing to the developing nations of the world.

noreply@blogger.com (MAF UK) — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 06:30:00 +0000

HOPE FOR EQUALITY Take a moment to think about the many ways that people are not considered equal. Skin colour, gender, religion, class. Pray that MAF and its partners will demonstrate that we are all equally loved by God, for His glory.

noreply@blogger.com (MAF UK) — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 06:30:00 +0000

HOPE FOR EQUALITY Read Luke 10:25-37 and 19:1-10. Use the parable and Jesus’ encounter to guide your prayers. MAF is called to serve others regardless of their ethnicity, religion or social standing. Pray for opportunities to bring hope to those who are different from us.

HOPE FOR EQUALITY In Timor-Leste, MAF provides flights for the Ministry for Social Solidarity and Inclusion, and the Secretariat of State for Equality and Inclusion, as part of an eight-year programme to end violence against women and children. Pray for fruit to come from this endeavour.

The Nabilan Program is an eight-year partnership between the governments of Australia and Timor-Leste to end violence against women and children

HOPE FOR EQUALITY Praise God for the progress being made around the world to highlight the importance of equality. Pray that MAF will model acceptance, fairness and justice in its work, and in the communities we serve, as an example of Jesus’ attitude.
