STATS REFLECT 2019 WORK BY MAF-US PROGRAMS

In 2019, MAF staff supported 55 Bible translation projects and showed the “JESUS” film 166 times in refugee camps and remote villages. Fighting Ebola in Africa: 19 flights in 2019, delivering 1,553 pounds of vaccines and 23,650 pounds of medical supplies. MAF’s 47 airplanes are often the only safe and reliable means of transportation for ministry activities, that can reduce an all-day trek by foot to a mere 12-minute flight. Every 14 minutes, in some of the most remote places on earth, an MAF aircraft takes off or lands. Every flight hour saves 5 days of travel by foot or slow, arduous ground transportation, greatly maximizing the ministry of missionaries and indigenous evangelists. Each day, MAF transports hundreds of passengers, including evangelists, teachers, medical personnel, indigenous pastors, relief personnel, children, and those who are critically ill or in need of emergency medical help.
