I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

SUNDAY 9 Praise God this Easter Sunday for Jesus’ resurrection and the gift of salvation. Today, lift up those who are yet to give their hearts to the Lord, and give Him thanks for making a way for us to have a living relationship with Him.

MONDAY 10 ‘The crowd was cheering when they saw the plane.’ Give thanks that, through MAF, the remote community of Dusin in PNG can receive essential supplies and life-giving medicine for the new Nazarene Health Services centre which will serve this isolated area for many years to come.

TUESDAY 11 Praise the Lord that, following an urgent medevac to fly a man struggling to breathe from Kisoro to Kampala, MAF Uganda staff were relieved to learn that the patient has recovered well. The journey would have taken 12 hours by road — a trip it’s unlikely Joseph would have survived

WEDNESDAY 12 In Tanzania, our regular safari flights enable hundreds of mothers and their babies to receive essential vaccinations and health checks. Pray that the children and their mothers will stay healthy and be free from any life-threatening illnesses. May they also experience life in all its fullness.

THURSDAY 13 Pray for our partnership with CURE International’s hospitals in Kenya. By working together, MAF and CURE can bring medical help to people coping with illness and disability in remote communities, ensuring that no one is left behind. Pray for the work of the pilots, doctors and others who make CURE’s medical outreaches possible.

FRIDAY 14 ‘He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds’ (Psalm 147:3). Give thanks for MAF flights that bring medical help and Gospel hope to people living in hard-to-reach areas. Pray that our pilots remain able to respond to emergencies quickly and safely.

SATURDAY 15 Give thanks that MAF flights bring hundreds of tonnes of medical freight to isolated areas each year, with the kind of medicines, vaccines and medical equipment we use every day in the UK.
