The Story

In 2009 God led Andy and Mif to serve with MAF as a pilot family. The adventure has taken us from Melbourne to Arnhem Land, to Kawito and Mount Hagen in Papua New Guinea, and then on to be the Head of Training at the Mareeba Training Centre in Queensland. Over these years the family has grown to include Theo, Annabelle, Edyn and Norah.

In 2024 Mif took on the role of PNG Human Resources manager, running a small team who takes care of 200 staff in MAF’s biggest program. Initially this was handled remotely, but in 2025 we’ll move to be on-site in Mt Hagen, PNG. Andy will take the lead in homeschooling Annabelle, Edyn and Norah – and will work towards a part-time flying role. Theo will complete upper high-school at Ukarumpa.

Looking ahead into this next season we are excited to keep promoting the gospel in our roles with MAF, through caring for the PNG staff team and in flying operations. We’re so grateful for the many wonderful people who have partnered with us in prayer and gifts for over 16 years. Please pray that God continues to use us all for his good purposes and that we take every opportunity to share Jesus with those around us.
