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.
Their future is bright
How much has isolation changed your life?
While you’re keeping your distance from the world, what do you most long for the freedom to do when it’s ‘all over’?
For the vast majority of people served by MAF, isolation is simply a way of life.
It may be handed down from generation to generation as part of an agrarian tradition or a nomadic existence that is essential to their community.
But, more often than not, isolation is a way of life imposed on men, women and children through poverty.
With your help, we can fly them to freedom.
