MAF Pilot Brad Venter was preparing for a a full day's program when he was alerted to a medevac need in Goroka, PNG. A women  retained placenta after giving birth and was in critical need of medical attention. 

On landing, the people in the village brought her to the aircraft on a well-made bamboo stretcher. While I loaded her into the aircraft, Sarah was able to do another airstrip survey.

Rest of story if we think it appropriate.

Here's just a small glimpse of the work your contribution will continue to help enable. 

This is fast becoming an urgent need for the team in PNG. The old systems in the two aircraft are increasingly obsolete and are a source of significant challenges in maintenance and certification.

We urgently need to raise at least $150,000AUD, which is the cost required to refurbish one aircraft. 

Your tax-deductible gift today will help us continue reaching remote communities in PNG with medical care, emergency aid, critical resources and Christian hope.

Invest in the future of MAF

1945

BACK TO MAIN SITE

In 1945, a small group of people got together to buy a plane. In doing so they became pioneers of a new organisation called Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF).

With MAF now flying in 24 countries, the original investment of these pioneers has grown to be a lifeline for countless generations of families living in isolated communities thanks to the prayers and generosity of our supporters.

Nearly eighty years on, the journey continues, and as in 1945, it’s going to need a new plane.

Buying a new plane is an investment in the long-term viability of MAF - and our ability to continue making a difference for generations to come.

Why it's needed

Funding a plane is part of a global MAF initiative which aims to modernise our current fleet, to ensure we can meet the challenges of serving remote communities into the future.

The First Wave of Pioneers

Behind the first MAF flight

On the morning of departure, a group of friends gathered for prayer. The excitement of the first MAF flight in the beautiful red 1933 four-seater Waco Cabin Biplane was tangible. The plane had been purchased only weeks before departure and would become the first of many aircraft deployed across the world in the service of the Gospel in the years to come.

We’re looking for a new wave of pioneers.

Where we started, where we're going

Extend reach

A new plane with enhanced capabilities and range will enable MAF to deliver aid and assistance to areas that were previously beyond reach.

Increase efficiency

It is essential that MAF is reliable. With a new plane, MAF can respond more quickly to emergencies, deliver aid more efficiently, and maximise our impact on the ground.

Ensure sustainability

We want to be sustainable, long-term. MAF can only continue making a difference for generations to come with planes that are up-to-date.

What will it take?

The cost to MAF to purchase and modify a Grand Caravan EX is about AUD$5.3m and a standard Caravan AUD$4.8m. This appeal we’re asking for your support to take the next big step in funding a new plane, and renewing our ageing fleet.
