MAF Australia: thank you!
Thank you!

t is incredible to think that 2014 is almost at an end. It has been a whirlwind of a year for us here at MAF Australia and in many ways we feel like the time has just - excuse the pun - flown by. We set out at the beginning of the year with many ambitious plans. Driven by the deep desire to see isolated communities transformed in Jesus’ name, we have worked tirelessly to see that happen. It has been a very busy year. However, one of the great dangers of being busy is that we forget to stop and be thankful for what we have. Ambition can be good, but must always be coupled with a grateful heart and a resounding and robust trust in God the Father as the ultimate provider. Mission Aviation Fellowship is His mission it’s His vision – and we are merely tools to put it into action. To this end, we want to stop and say thank you to you, our supporter, for also being faithful to His mission. We have achieved a great deal together in

2014 (have a look at the stats to the right). Your prayers, time, generosity and heart for the isolated communities that we serve are a constant source of joy for us. We thank God for you, that He has chosen to resource this ministry through such wonderful, generous and kind supporters. The global MAF mission turns 70 next year. That means for 70 years, MAF workers and faithful supporters just like you have been involved in reaching the remote corners of the world with physical and spiritual transformation. Just how many millions of lives have been touched over this time will only be told when we are united together in Heaven. You can bet that’s going to be an incredible celebration! We hope you enjoy this issue of Flying for Life. If you feel inspired to pray, give or go, we would love to talk with you about how you can do so. Michelle Dorey CEO MAF Australia

Timor-Leste
More than a feeling For the team in Timor-Leste, it’s not every day that demands 7 hours flying, 14 sectors, 2 NGO flights and 6 emergency medical evacuations. So what goes on in an MAF pilot’s mind on a day like this?

Medevac 1: Stroke patient
hat makes a really good pilot”, according to Programme Manager and pilot Jonathan Lowe “is firstly having the requisite technical skills, and then also the ability to remain calm in a crisis and be able to make decisions without getting emotional.” So when I ask Jon what he was feeling during a recent dramafilled day, he merely raises his eyebrows and gives a slight smirk. “Pilots have feelings?” I persevere: “But seven hours of flying, six medevacs in one day, blood everywhere, helping both young and old, having to leave another two needing evacuation because you’d run out of daylight, weren’t you feeling the whole gamut of emotions? Excited, anxious, in despair, exhilarated, tense, relieved, satisfied and then when it was all over exhausted?” The best I can get from Jon is that he feels a rush each time he’s called to do a medevac, as the adrenaline kicks in. But that’s as far as the emotional side goes. He just gets on and gets the job done.
4 Flying for Life November 2014 www.maf.org.au
Stroke patient The day I was referring to was on the 6th of October, and began as any other. Jon’s first flight was to Same, a small community (20 minutes flight to the south of Dili) for the non-government organisation WaterAid. He then made another couple of flights – one to Oecusse and one to Atauro. He’d just landed back in Dili when a medevac request came in. A 63-year-old woman had had a stroke and needed urgent treatment. With only 25 minutes on the ground (just enough time to take the seats out of the aircraft and put a bit of fuel in) Jon was back in the air bound for Atauro Island again. It was just after midday.
Head injury Around the same time, MAF’s office assistant Lito took another call. A young boy at Same had suffered head injuries falling from a mango tree. He needed to get to Dili hospital to be stabilised. No sooner had Jon landed in Dili with the stroke patient, than he was airborne again.
Medevac 3: A truck accident
Truck accident MAF then received still another call asking for help. There had been a serious truck accident in Suai (30 minutes flight away) and six people needed to be stretchered to Dili hospital. Jonathan knew that he would only be able to take two trips before dark, carrying a total of four stretchered patients. Two people would have to take the bumpy and arduous eight hour road trip. But he did what he could and flew, stopping only to load and unload patients, refuel and clean out the aircraft as best he could (the first two patients lost a lot of blood, one had lost a foot and both had internal and external injuries) and finally landed in Dili with only 14 minutes of daylight to spare. Just another day serving God through MAF in Timor-Leste.
Enough Jon says that while he might not get emotional about it, he has complete assurance that God wants him and MAF in Timor-Leste
providing a service that is removing physical barriers from isolated people, helping those in need, caring for the sick - basically being Jesus’ hands and feet in a very practical way. A verse that spurs him on is from Isaiah 62:10 “Go out through the gates! Prepare the highway for my people to return! Smooth out the road; pull out the boulders; raise a flag for the nations to see.” Jon explains that this verse talks about removing or overcoming physical barriers so that people can turn back to God. He sees MAF raising that flag in Timor-Leste as he flies. And Jon’s last word on feelings. “I’m here in obedience to God. I feel satisfied to know that I’m making a difference for God’s kingdom. What more can I say? Isn’t that enough?”
Angela recently had the opportunity to visit in hospital two of the ladies medevaced from the car accident. Read their story at maf.org.au/news. Here you can also give to fund these vital medevacs.

South Sudan: Rescue Flight
Rescue flight In the middle of September, the town of Renk in northern South Sudan exploded in gunfire and shelling. Renk is hardly new to violence, but this came without warning for the Medair staff working in their office and clinic. MAF came to their rescue in two flights on consecutive days to evacuate a total of 17 people from two organisations. Medair and MAF staff tell how the story unfolded. Story LuAnne Cadd Photos LuAnne Cadd and Medair
Thursday, 18 September Hannah Pilgrim, Medair Health Manager:
Hannah Pilgrim
I arrived back in Renk last Monday after a short break in Nairobi, looking forward to diving into the goals that I’d set for my next 8 weeks. After a productive morning in the clinic, I’d just arrived in the office to start packing drugs when shelling and gunshots filled the air. Less than an hour later our team of 14 relocatable staff was packed up and driving as quickly as possible to the nearby UN compound for safety.
Dani Denish, Medair Health and Hygiene Promotion:
Dani Denish
I only arrived in Renk on Thursday and we went straight to the office. When I opened my e-mail, Liz came and asked if we heard the shelling. I hadn’t, but we immediately took action. We closed our computers and walked out. We took shelter in the safe room. Shelling was now landing close to our compound. We sat together and decided
6 Flying for Life November 2014 www.maf.org.au
where we were going to move exactly, and if we were going to move. The final decision (also in conjunction with the management team in Juba) was that we needed to move South. We packed our things. While preparing packing, the shelling was really coming close by. Two bombs landed in the neighbourhood. For me that was quite intense. I got nervous and we had to speed up in packing things. We couldn’t pack all of the bags well, but did the best we could. I’ve been in Malakal when there was fighting, but this was more intense and those minutes just before we could drive out were quite scary. I had loads of questions going through my mind. I was relieved we managed to get out.
Friday, 19th Daniel Juzi, MAF Operations Manager:
The phone rings and it is Medair on the line. The question asked, focused my attention quickly: “Can you do an evacuation flight for Medair. There has been fighting in Renk and we need to get our staff out.” My first thought was: “Yes, of course we can, we should, we must...” We had one aircraft and crew available. It would
be Andrew Parker in “MAF-6” who would attempt to get the Medair team out of Renk after we receive the go-ahead from Medair that the situation is calm enough to extract people from the airstrip.
Andrew Parker, MAF pilot:
I was having a day off on the Friday when Ops received the call requesting an evacuation. Laura Hibberd came over to our house to ask if I’d be willing to go. That was around 10:15 AM. I changed into uniform and got down to the airport as soon as I could to re-fuel and prepare the aircraft. With the help of the dispatch team (and priority treatment from Juba Tower), I was airborne at 11:29 AM.
Daniel Juzi:
At 11:29am we got the word that Andrew was in the air. The moment this happened, our ops room changed its status to “Security Level 3”. Because there is an aircraft on a critical mission, this means that from now until it is back safety on the ground at home base, only essential personnel would be allowed to be in the office. This is so we could be undistracted with monitoring the progress, hearing the HF radio, not missing any calls, and liaising with Medair and other security related organisations. Two of the Skype messages from Medair:
11:54 Medair: Fighting has broken out north west of the town. There is NO fighting south of the town or near UNMISS or near the airport. 12:33 Medair: Urgent. We have news, from UNMISS and military intelligence. It is unsafe to land. We will request for the MAF plane to turn around.
Andrew Parker:
Nearly one and a half hours into the flight (the flying time to Renk is almost 3 hours) I received a call from Ops on the radio that the security situation had deteriorated and I was to return to Juba.

UMISS base: Temporary home for the Mediar staff
Continued... to prepare the flight. We were waiting for a ‘green’ light from Medair in Renk, but at 09:00 we got the call that the situation was still unsafe.
Dani Denish, Medair:
Once in the UNMISS base we felt more safe and we started to have some time with the team, and also had some fun together to shake off our experiences. But now the worry about the people of Renk came. Those people had to flee again, sometimes not knowing where to go. The only thing we could do was pray.
Hannah Pilgrim, Medair:
Reinier Kwantes
I’m so thankful for my past experience as a camp counsellor for making it no big deal to sleep on the ground, fashion a rain fly out of a tarp, cook over a stove, go without showering for 3 days, and lead devotions.
Monday, 22nd Chris Ball, MAF Pilot:

On Monday morning Medair and our operations were still evaluating the situation of flying up to Renk and if the Medair team

were able to safely get to the airport. The decision was made that I would go to Renk. With the plane’s fuel tanks topped up I headed north on the almost 3-hour journey. Our ground operations team kept me updated about the situation on the ground in Renk as I flew up and we made sure the Medair team showed up to the airport just before the plane landed. We agreed on a ground signal with the Medair team so they could make the decision for me to land or not at the last minute depending on the situation. Thankfully the ground signal was positive, so I continued with my approach. I parked the plane in the middle of the runway where

their vehicles were, loaded up the plane with their gear and got them on board. It was a very quick turn around getting back in the air. The Medair staff was quite relieved to be on their way out of the insecure situation.
Daniel Juzi, MAF Ops:
Now we were at least half way done. One load of people out; a second one to go.
Tuesday, 23rd Reinier Kwantes, MAF
On Tuesday the 23rd of September I flew to Renk for another attempt. The time on the ground was 12 minutes. Just after starting the engine I saw at the end of the runway ‘something’ moving in our direction. It then slowly moved to the side. I could see it was too long to be a person and it moved too slow to be a car. After it moved far enough to the side I started the take-off. I could now see that the ‘object’ was a camel with two people sitting on it. At the end of the runway I saw on my left two people standing with AK-47’s. They weren’t pointing or making any moves, so I assessed it as no threat.
recently when my faith has felt weak or non-existent, and I’ve been overwhelmed or tempted to just check out in light of how powerless I am against these odds. During our time waiting for an evacuation flight, I found myself confronted with these feelings and lots of time to think and process and pray through them, and be reminded that God’s faithfulness doesn’t waver even when mine does.
Dani Denish, Medair:
I was thinking about all our health and hygiene promotion activities. The places where we had worked might now be empty. People must have left their houses in Renk. I hope that we can go back soon with a larger team.
Relief: Medair staff post evacuation flight
Hannah Pilgrim, Medair:
For me the hardest thing was seeing people along the road with nowhere to run and not even a shelter to protect themselves from the rain or clean water to drink, or enough food for their children, and not having the capacity to bring all of them with me. Even more heartbreaking is the fact that it isn’t the first time that they have had to flee from their homes (and probably not even just the second time for most of them), and it isn’t a unique situation in the country. Being surrounded by so much need and brokenness, there have been many times

Arnhem Land
What a relief! Story Red Fulton Photos Peter Higham
It’s a sad and sorry sight.. a landing strip, a plane, 6 passengers; but no pilot. To see a fuelled up, well maintained aircraft grounded, simply because there are not enough pilots is devastating! However, in Arnhem Land help has arrived. We are currently keeping 4 relief pilots busy in the air. These experienced pilots have joined our team on a short term basis (3-12 months). They have each worked with MAF in the past and due to our current pilot shortages, they are making themselves available once again. Upon re-arrival in Arnhem Land, the relief pilots undergo various check flights with the chief pilot and, once cleared, they are off and flying in our busy daily program. A normal day might mean 12 take offs and landings on small dirt airstrips, all the while dripping with sweat and juggling weather conditions. Not to forget the passengers who often have no shoes and too many bags.
So why do they do it?
James Skinner The need really hit home for me when, late one afternoon, I flew a doctor out to the small homeland Wandawuy. An elderly lady had become extremely ill and the dirt strip is too small for ‘Careflight’ to land on. Once the patient was stabilised we were able to fly her straight into Gove hospital. Knowing our 20 minute flight could save a life, when compared with a 4 hour bumpy road trip, has a big impact. It was great to be here and able to help.”
Scott Garwood Scott left MAF 10 years ago but has returned because of the desperate need. He says “Although I was no longer working for MAF I still strongly believed in what they are doing. I saw a window in my life where I could help meet these needs. It’s good to see some changes have taken place in the last decade. MAF now have an integral ministry model recognising that missionary pilots want to do more than simply fly, so pilots are given greater opportunities to be involved in their communities and minister to the Yolngu people.”

CRMF and MAF: Biblebox
The tok-pisin Bible is the most popular item in the Biblebox
Story Andy Little Photos Andy Little and Michael Duncalfe
Eternal impact I We asked Pilot Andy Little to find out what kind of difference the Biblebox ministry is having in remote communites around PNG. Here is his report....
12 Flying for Life November 2014 www.maf.org.au
t’s been over 2 years since I began selling Bibles and other resources from the back of the MAF plane here in the remote South Fly of PNG, and demand remains steady. I regularly run out of Bibles to sell during my flying program, and people always request more next time. It’s becoming apparent that those buying the Bibles often walk for 6 or more hours to meet the plane for the purpose of buying them. Recently in Kondobal I landed with a full Biblebox. A crowd of people gathered and I quickly sold out. “How do people use their Bibles?” I asked Asa, our agent. He speaks good English, and the following conversation between myself and the young men with new Bibles was via his translation. The young people are becoming serious about their faith, and so they buy Bibles.
Bible Box customers at Kondobol . Asa is next to Pilot Andly Little. The man in the black hat walked 2hours to buy 20 Bibles, he only got 2 that day because we sold out.
And are lives changing as a result? Yes! Asa explains that the young people are begininning to treat people differently. They are acting differently in their families and community. There is a tangible hunger to know God and His teachings for the purpose of applying this to how they live. Before I left, Asa made sure I knew to bring more next time. He estimated more than 40 others were waiting to buy their Bible but missed out this time.
Kiriwo Kiriwo is another South Fly community hungry for Bibles. They report evidence of the fruit of the old nature ‘peeling off’ and being replaced by the fruit of the Spirit. Dickson (a children’s and youth minister) says he’s witnessed Bible-reader’s personal lives being healed. That includes changes like ‘healthy eating choices’, a deepening prayer life, ‘not bashing women anymore’, and ‘stopping using profane language’. Dickson has also witnessed fathers taking on their parental responsibility much more seriously, and seeking a Biblical understanding of fatherhood. Another Pastor mentions that sometimes people can have trouble understanding the Bible just by reading it, and knowing where to start can be hard. Segai, another church member in the conversation, mentions that he bought his Bible together with a Bible Handbook. That’s a pocket-sized resource with basic, key information for each book of the Bible. Segai says that the handbook is exactly what he needed to effectively study the Bible for himself. The group agreed that the Biblebox ministry was one of the most important parts of the MAF ministry in providing a service to isolated bush communities.
Dodomona The following day at Dodomona, an isolated community on the south side of Mt Sisa near Tari, I once again brought along the Biblebox. After selling most of the contents, (not the first time that’s happened at Dodomona), I asked, “Sapos wanpela man i gat nupela buk baibel, em makim wanem kain sampting long en? Yu enap long lukim laip bilong en sensim or nogat?”. That was my broken Tok Pisin attempt at asking how having a Bible impacts somebody’s life, and if they read alone, or in groups, or if not, then how did they use it? The group of men were quick to respond, saying that their young people become serious about their faith, and are hungry to know more, so they buy a Bible. They bring it to Church as they listen to the sermon. They read it alone, but also together as a family. They have seen a difference in they way people live once they start reading their Bible. They treat their family differently, and behave as a more responsible community member when they’re following God’s word. It’s amazing that the same living Word of God continues to instruct, rebuke, train and equip God’s people in every part of the world, even the remote corners of the South Fly in PNG.
Let’s keep the box full! In the lead up to our Day of Prayer (Oct 26th), we were asking people to give 20/20 - $20 for Bibles and 20 minutes in prayer. As of the time of publication, we had received enough to fund around 988 Bibles! We would love to see many more Bibles funded so that we can continue this ministry. As you can see, it’s changing lives! If you would like to contribute further to this ministry, call us on 1800 650 169 or visit www.maf.org.au/SendaBible
