Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year’s Fuel for Father’s Day.
Already the impact of your gift is being felt in our Programs around the world.
Recently, a short 25 minute flight from Maliana to Dili, Timor-Leste, helped save the life of football loving seven year old William Dae Pani, who, after suffering pain and discomfort, was diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease and urgently needed to be flown to the national hospital in the capital. Without this short MAF flight, William would have had to endure an uncomfortable 3 hour car ride.

In the challenging landscape of remote medical facilities in Papua New Guinea, senior nurse Reena Delesae has found renewed purpose by being able to access a Bible – courtesy of MAF’s Bible Box. With no access to resident doctors, these rural hospitals face unique hardships, making MAF’s support in delivering medicine and aiding patient transport invaluable. Reena’s new Bible has not has not only helped reshape her perspective, but also instilled newfound hope in her patients. Experiencing the love of God has been life-changing, and according to Reena, there is no turning back!
