Having been born and raised in Folkestone, I’ve known about MAF all my life and it had been raved about to me by my grandparents. It was only when i was 18, that I realised that working for MAF could be a possibility and felt a need to find out more.

Over the following 5 years I stayed in contact with MAF, and the more I found out what it was to serve with them, the more I felt a calling. Funnily enough, I trained as Maintenance Engineer with a cosmetic company and that would appear to be a direct path into Engineering with MAF, however I had an overwhelming feeling that my calling lay in becoming a pilot.

Since my mid-teens, I have been on several short-term mission trips and have aways had an overwhelming feeling of belonging and joy even in the hardest moments. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to serve with MAF, and certain this is where God has led me, from those small seeds planted by my grandparents to first time going up in an aircraft at MATC.

Would you prayerfully consider joining their support team?
