BUILDING ON MAF’S LEGACY

SUNDAY 17 Praise God for the pilots and engineers of tomorrow as they develop the skills they need to serve the Lord with MAF.

MONDAY 18 Please uphold Grace Community Church in South Sudan and pray for its local outreach. The church was founded by Rev Bernard Suwa who, as a child, was helped by MAF when he and his family were refugees. Having become a Christian as a teenager, Bernard’s fruitful ministry is the result of those early connections with MAF. To hear more about Bernard’s story on episode 2 of our podcast, please visit www.maf-uk.org/maf-podcast

TUESDAY 19 Give thanks for the 50 years we’ve been serving in Arnhem Land, Australia. As well as providing indigenous people with access to healthcare and development opportunities, our flights support the local church and enable ministry outreach to remote Yolŋu communities.

WEDNESDAY 20 This week is ‘International Week of Happiness at Work’. Knowing that we are serving the Lord is an incredible source of joy, but our staff still experience all the ups and downs and pressures and worries of working life, so please pray for them.

THURSDAY 21 MAF has always been a pioneer of HF radio – providing hard-toreach communities with the equipment and training they need so people can listen to school programmes and Christian ministry, and request medevac flights when needed. Please pray for our engineers as they continue this vital service.

FRIDAY 22 Please uphold the vital work of CEML Hospital in Angola. MAF has supported the hospital by flying patients, supplies and staff since it opened in 2006. Pray for continued flight safety, and for the staff led by Dr Steve Foster and Dr Annelise Olson. The hospital is run by Christians, so the staff pray that the care the patients receive, and the witness they provide will have a lasting impact.

SATURDAY 23 Bryan Mathew, General Manager of MAF Technologies PNG, has been with us for 18 years. Please pray for Bryan as he leads the team providing PNG’s people with computer training and repairs, audio Bibles, and the installation of solar power and HF radio.
