Inspire children and families to give beyond themselves this Christmas.
This Advent, your church, Sunday School, youth group, or family can join MAF in helping children in remote communities access education, healthcare and hope. Through stories, prayers and fun activities, kids will learn the joy of generosity and the impact of small acts of kindness.

- Audience: Churches, Sunday Schools, youth ministries, families, schools and MAF supporters

Why Participate
This Christmas, children in Australia can make a tangible difference for children in isolated communities worldwide. Every prayer, gold coin and small act of kindness helps MAF continue flying help, hope and healing to the places that need it most.
When families and churches come together to nurture generosity in children, the impact multiplies. Your support ensures MAF aircraft can keep reaching the unreachable – flying doctors, teachers, medicines and the message of Christ to those who would otherwise go without. By giving or sharing this initiative, you’re helping the next generation discover the joy of giving and the power of mission in action.
Thank you.
