The Story

Tim and Anita met and were married at the Bible College of Victoria. With a focus towards mission, Tim trained as an aircraft engineer with Anita majoring in Youth Ministry.

Tim and Anita, along with their children, have served with MAF in Mareeba, North Queensland, since 2004. Mareeba is MAF’s major aircraft maintenance base servicing both national and international aircraft. It is wonderful to think that the work done here in Mareeba, Australia, aids remote national and international communities that are still in great need of both physical and spiritual transformation!

The Young family are honoured to be able to continue serving MAF and remote communities through their work in Mareeba. Tim works in Mareeba as part of the MAFI AOC Continuing Airworthiness team (CAMO), ensuring MAF aircraft spend less time grounded and more time in the air!

Anita is a qualified Family Therapist and is currently working as a Hiring Manager at Mareeba McDonalds. She continues to enjoy and encourage their children Tarryn, Steven, Rivka and Reuben.

Tim, Anita and their 4 kids value your prayers and sponsorship. They live and work in a spiritually challenging environment.  Pray for their involvement in their local church worship team and various other community groups.  Please pray for the continued ability to speak Words of Life into hearts and lives, through work, school, home and ministry opportunities.

Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work and walking-around life – and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. – Romans 12:1 (MSG)
