I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

SUNDAY 4 Praise God for the relationships we have with isolated communities. Our staff have a friendship and trust that helps encourage people in their faith and outreach.

MONDAY 5 Please pray for the people of Biaidi in PNG. Their community is extremely remote and relies on the radio MAF helped install to receive both physical and spiritual support.

TUESDAY 6 There is often stigma surrounding disabilities in many of the communities we serve where there are beliefs that any form of incapacity means a family has been cursed. Because of this, medical help is rarely sought. Give thanks for MAF partner CURE International in Uganda, which provides physical aid, treats people with dignity and encourages families to do the same. Pray that any shame felt by those living with a disability is taken away

WEDNESDAY 7 Please uphold the work of MAF Technologies PNG, which makes Christian resources available digitally such as the Jesus film, Gospel music and audio Bibles. Give thanks that people can receive the truth Jesus brings in their own language in a variety of ways.

THURSDAY 8 Pray for the continued safety and upkeep of the Meserani airstrip in Tanzania. We built the remote runway three years ago, and it has played a vital role in enabling us to reach several hundred more Maasai people with God’s Word.

FRIDAY 9 Pray for our partner Wycliffe Bible Translators in South Sudan as their staff share the Gospel and help free people in difficultto-reach communities from the fear of living with witchcraft.

SATURDAY 10 Today, think about the various people groups of South America. Pray for them in their walk with the Lord and give thanks for the missionaries like Nate Saint and Jim Elliot who, decades ago, made those initial life-changing contacts.

SUNDAY 11 Praise God for the work of Pastor Santino. He accompanies one of our medical safari flights in South Sudan, offering spiritual counselling and Bible teaching to those who attend our evangelistic clinics. Santino helps people who’ve accepted God’s Word but still feel confused about the witchcraft that’s so prevalent in their tribal culture. He tells people, ‘Just as you don’t serve two chiefs, you cannot serve two spiritual masters.’

MONDAY 12 Please uphold our pilots today as they pray before each flight and serve as a witness to those around them pointing the way to Christ. Ask the Lord to keep them and their families safe.

TUESDAY 13 Jesus, Scripture tells us, is the way, the truth and the life. Although others claim they have the truth, Jesus remains the only way to the Father. Today, let’s ponder this great truth for ourselves, and pray that the churches our staff are there to serve will be filled with people walking in His way, accepting His truth, following Christ closely, and living godly lives.

WEDNESDAY 14 Pray for Patrick and Olivia Keller in Madagascar. Their passion for bringing people out of darkness into God’s light led them, and their church, to train missionaries in the Malagasy language so they can better share the Good News with the people they meet.

THURSDAY 15 Suicide rates among indigenous communities in Arnhem Land can be high. Please pray that those suffering from poor mental health will experience God’s peace, discover Jesus for themselves, and live joyful lives as children of light (Ephesians 5:8).

FRIDAY 16 Last year, we flew Sudan Evangelical Mission in South Sudan. Pray for all those working to strengthen the Church and spread the Gospel. May they experience God’s blessing and enable many to experience His truth and life.

SATURDAY 17 Please pray for the people of Haiti. This tumultuous nation has experienced great physical and spiritual devastation in recent years. Pray for an end to its travails, and that an outpouring of the Holy Spirit will bring hearts out of the darkness.
