MAF Church Partnerships
Partnering with MAF empowers churches in Australia to play a vital role in global missions by promoting, praying for, and providing for MAF’s work. For over 80 years, churches have been central to sustaining MAF’s mission, laying a foundation of prayer and support. Today, more than 900 congregations partner with us and as we look ahead, we pray for even more churches to join in bringing help, hope and healing to isolated communities worldwide.
Read on below to find out how your church can partner with MAF and make a difference for God’s people living in isolated communities around the world.

success stories
Sunbury has a strong aviation connection, with its location close to Tullamarine airport meaning many of those who work at the airport live in the town. Many of the St Mary’s congregation have been long term MAF supporters. We love the MAF fuel for Fathers Day campaign and have a big display setup each year. Recently the congregation made the decision to formalise our connection with MAF by partnering with Melissa Higgins and supporting her prayerfully and financially. We have a regular “mission spotlight” section in our services and delight in being able to share Mel’s videos and prayer points with everyone. – Narelle Riley, St Mary’s Anglican Church Sunbury 
Charlestown Presbyterian Church held a successful fundraising concert in support of MAF. The night featured creative MAF-themed decorations, diverse musical performances, audience participation and humorous skits. A MAF video showcased the mission’s impact, and attendees took home MAF magazines to learn more. Some guests had never heard of MAF before, making it a great opportunity to raise awareness. By the end of the night, over $2,000 was raised to support MAF’s vital work. This event highlights the power of local churches in global missions—thank you to everyone who made it possible!
