Message from the CEO MISSION AVIATION FELLOWSHIP

WE FLY WHERE ROADS END DREAMING BIG

If you would like to donate to our flights please reference “V6N2 + your name”.

MAF is an international Christian organisation whose mission is to fly light aircraft, and to use other technologies to bring help, hope and healing to people in some of the world’s poorest communities. Every five minutes an MAF plane is taking off or landing somewhere in the world to assist missions, churches, aid and development agencies, and other local groups to transform lives and share the love of God.

Message From The Ceo

Our team is struck by the swift approach of midyear, where time seems to hasten with numerous moving parts. As we continue to strive towards our greater vision, preparing for the MAFSA AGM presents a valuable opportunity to pause and reflect on the achievements and impact of the first half of the year. I am eager to share with you the meaningful developments that await us on our journey forward.

Now, in June 2023, we have walked over the threshold of a new chapter—one that aligns with the global shift in missions. The world of missions has expanded beyond its traditional boundaries, and MAFSA is heralding this change, recognising our role in raising up Africans who are passionate about spreading the Gospel and serving the Lord in foreign lands. We firmly believe that we are precisely where we are meant to be.

As expressed in January 2023, our vision encompasses creating a MAF Africa hub right here in South Africa, where we can equip and empower African candidates to fulfil their calling. The transformation has already begun, and our focus now turns to people—the catalysts for changing the face of missions worldwide.

MAF South Africa can contribute in a profound way to the global mission landscape. Through comprehensive training, mentoring, and access to pre-technical assessments, we aim to set all our candidates up for success, ensuring their time on the mission field is impactful and life-changing. We envision a future where our efforts empower a diverse array of missionaries, including Africans, to spread the love of Christ to the ends of the earth. Dreaming big, we wholeheartedly ask the Lord to bolster our faith as we begin this mission unitedly.

As we embark on this new chapter, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for what the Lord is about to accomplish through us. The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore, I invite you, our valued MAFSA family, to be part of this endeavour, partnering with us in prayer, financial support, and advocacy as we strive to send workers into the fields, ready for harvesting.

Together, let us bridge the gap, empowering and nurturing individuals to become missionaries who will shape the future of missions globally. With your generous contributions and God’s guidance, we will witness remarkable transformations and continue to be a beacon of hope for those in need.

Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to expanding the Kingdom, and bringing Help, Hope, and Healing to the isolated. It is through your partnership that we can bring about meaningful change in the lives of countless individuals. Let us embrace this new chapter with unwavering faith, hope, and anticipation, knowing that God is at work within and through MAF South Africa.
