We are
flying for life
Stuart King: 1922-2020
Our Vision
At MAF, we believe nothing should stop people from receiving the love of God and the essentials of life – no matter how remote they are. Our vision is to see 'isolated people physically and spiritually transformed in Christ's name.' We use aviation and technology, because in many places those are the only ways to reach isolated people in need.
The Need
In today's 'connected world', the irony is that never have so many people been so isolated. Many remote communities have never heard the Gospel and are living in spiritual darkness.
If a person has a medical emergency and the nearest hospital is a few days walk or an uncomfortable drive on rough roads, their prognosis is poor.
When natural disasters, conflict or famine strike hard-to-reach places, an aircraft may be the only safe way to reach the people on the ground.
How we help
Watch video
For 75 years, MAF has been flying light aircraft over jungles, mountains, swamps and deserts. We enable more than 2,000 aid, development and mission organisations to bring medical care, emergency relief, long-term development and Christian hope to thousands of communities.
Every four minutes an MAF plane is taking off or landing somewhere in the world to help eliminate the barriers to physical and spiritual transformation. Enabling partners is at the core of what we do and you can help make it possible.
The Stuart King Fund
Engineer. Pioneer. Legend.
Stuart King went to glory in the summer of 2020, leaving us with a unique, Christian legacy – the world’s largest humanitarian airline.
MAF flies more than 2,000 partners to more destinations on the planet than any other organisation.
But it takes a constant stream of faithful, passionate men and women to continue bringing God’s love to those in great need.
And the MAF teams of tomorrow need to be recruited and trained today.
With your support, the Stuart King Fund will keep our friend and founder’s legacy alive.
