The Story

From early in life Steven and Margot have felt the call of God to missions and specifically Mission Aviation Fellowship. In 1995 they moved to Melbourne where Steven completed the Mission Aviation course at the Bible College of Victoria before returning to Brisbane to raise their 3 boys.

Steven continued his flight training and Margot was a full-time mother before joining Mission Aviation Fellowship in 2000 and then begun serving in Arnhem Land, firstly at Elcho Island and then Gove. In 2004 Steven served for a short time in Southern Africa where he flew with MAF South Africa.

They returned to Brisbane in 2004 for education opportunities for their 3 boys. Steven worked first as an associate pastor and then since 2008 as a police officer while Margot worked as a clinical nurse in a busy hospital emergency department.

Their three boys are now adults, have completed high school and have moved onto work and higher education. Steven and Margot have strongly felt God’s call back to Mission Aviation and in 2019 began serving with MAF in Liberia with Steven as a Pilot and Margot utilising her extensive nursing experience in service to God.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that He considered me trustworthy, appointing me to His service. – 1 Timothy 1:12 (NIV)
