Supporters of Life

Throughout 2022, faithful friends of MAF with huge hearts for isolated people helped equip MAF to bring the life-changing love of Christ to individuals, families, and communities around the world.

Here are some of the projects we started in 2022 that our partners helped fund.

Operations Modernization—The purpose of this $2.165 million initiative is to strengthen the impact of MAF’s mission by creating new international leadership roles and providing centralized safety management and training. It also includes new Safety Management Systems software, Cessna Caravan and Kodiak flight simulators for MAF headquarters, and expansion of the original aircraft hangar at headquarters.

Missionary staff housing—This $2 million investment prioritized the well-being of MAF staff for the sake of the mission. Projects included the purchase of land and construction of eight houses in Papua and the purchase of an existing house and renovation to a duplex in the DRC.

Airplane maintenance—MAF’s entire $1.9 million 2022 aircraft maintenance budget was funded through donors whose gifts were spurred on by a $550,000 matching grant. Projects included purchase of an Avionics Flight Line Test Set for use worldwide, engine overhauls for two Cessna Caravans in the DRC, and a hot section inspection for a Kodiak float plane in Papua.

Airplane dedications—In June 2022, missionaries, church leaders, and the MAF team in Bunia, DRC, gathered around a Cessna Grand Caravan to dedicate it for service. In July, MAF staff in Papua formed a prayerful circle around a Kodiak aircraft that replaced one that had crashed into Lake Sentani two years earlier. The new Kodiak was named PK-MJL (“Miss Joyce Lin”) in honor of the pilot whose life was lost.
