APRIL 2018

IN THE EARLY HOURS OF MONDAY 26 FEBRUARY, THE LARGEST EARTHQUAKE IN MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED YEARS ROCKED THE CENTRE OF PAPUA, NEW GUINEA. Anton Lutz, a long term American Lutheran missionary and friend of MAF said, “I laid petrified in my bed, listening as things fell over all through the house. As the shock waves subsided, I flipped on my phone and checked with my friends. They were shaken but OK. But we were the fortunate ones”.

Vaughan Woodward from New Zealand, in his role as MAF Global Disaster Response Deputy Manager said, “I immediately checked that our staff and operations were safe—then began to look for ways to help those who had been impacted”.

However, extensive landslides had disrupted rivers and cut off roads, making getting to many isolated villages almost impossible. Downed power and communication lines made getting accurate information equally challenging. Some airstrips had also been damaged.

From the outset, the emergency evacuation of injured people was an urgent need. Nawi Mabo, on staff with MAF PNG, said, “I had the chance to see first-hand the devastation caused and the lives impacted. One lady we flew out was the sole survivor of a group of eleven people who were buried in a landslide while on their way to the market in Komo”.

MAF is also making a major contribution towards the disaster relief efforts by gathering and sharing vital information. On-the-ground personnel and the Technical Services (CRMF) HF radio network have been invaluable in contacting remote communities.

Vaughan Woodward said, “We are putting that information together and distributing it to the Australian Defence force, the PNG Government and others to help them prioritise their delivery”.

MAF has been quick to respond directly to the needs in communities by delivering emergency relief supplies. During just one week recently, MAF Papua New Guinea flew ten loads of provisions by Twin Otter aircraft. Glenys Watson, from New Zealand and one of the pilots involved in these deliveries, said, "This week I flew over 8500 kgs of relief to those communities affected by the earthquake… including rice, tinned fish, water, nails, hammers, spades, tarps and hygiene kits”.

Furthermore, many local churches gathered in Mt. Hagan recently to donate goods for those affected by the earthquakes. Siobhain Coles, a member of the MAF PNG Disaster Relief Team said, “It was humbling to see local people, who have very little themselves, giving a few clothes, a few cabbages from their garden, whatever they could spare, to bless those in the bush who have even less than them. I felt like I was watching the widow at the temple from Luke 21:1-4”.

Many in New Zealand were impacted by his life and especially his visits here. MAF Board member Lawrence Dixon recalls attending Graham’s visits to New Zealand in 1995 and 1996. The events had a strong influence on his life. Lawrence said that he believes that in the 1980s and 1990s almost 40% of Anglican clergy came to know Jesus through Billy Graham.

THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE Billy Graham preached to some 215 million people who attended one of his more than 400 Crusades, simulcasts and evangelistic rallies in more than 185 countries and territories. He reached millions more through TV, video, film, the internet and 34 books.

MAF had the privilege of flying him in 1960 for his “African Safari for Souls” in East Africa, where thousands came to know Jesus. Three MAF planes were involved in flying Billy Graham and his team around.

THE LEGACY CONTINUES Billy Graham’s son Franklin Graham is the President and Chairman of the Board of Samaritan’s Purse, an organisation which has a long history of partnership with MAF. Recently, MAF pilot Eivind Lindtjoern was able to chat to Samaritan Purse’s Francis Houghton, Regional Director for West Africa.

Asked how important MAF is for the work of Samaritan’s Purse, he quickly responded, “Wherever I am in West Africa I fly with MAF. Samaritan’s Purse goes to places where others don’t like to go. We try to access the areas that are difficult to reach, but quite often they’re only reachable by air and MAF is there to take us. It’s because of that transport and service that beneficiaries are getting what they need”.

SCOTT AND SUSIE HAD BEEN WAITING IN CHAD A LONG TIME. OVER 11 YEARS, IN FACT. PRAYING AND WAITING. WORKING AND PRAYING AND WAITING. DRILLING WELLS, TEACHING HYGIENE, HOLDING DENTAL AND MEDICAL CLINICS, SHARING THE WORD… 6

...And waiting on God for that miracle when someone would choose to follow Jesus. MAF has supported this work for years by flying visiting dental and medical teams, short-term visitors, the team’s families and medical emergencies to and from their location.

In a Muslim country like Chad, Scott and Susie knew that it could take a long time. They prepared themselves for the wait. They moved to the country in 2005 with their small family that grew to seven in total. They learned the language and lived in a place 12-15 hour’s drive from the capital.

They drilled over 50 wells across the nearby countryside, explaining clearly with each that the gift of water was a gift of love in obedience to their God to love their neighbours.

Then it happened in 2016. Two sisters and two children chose to follow Jesus.

“I’ve always believed that we would see something happen in our time here,” Susie says. “You’re always waiting and expecting it. But when it finally happened, it was just surreal.

Like, this…just…happened! There are actually people believing!”

TWO SISTERS AND THE RUTHLESS PATRIARCH It didn’t “just happen”. For years Susie had studied the Word with various women in the town. For years a few of the women said they were thinking of following Jesus.

When two sisters, “Ally” and “Sally”, made their decision, both remained quiet about it. It’s a dangerous thing to be vocal.

Sally’s husband had previously left her with five children. Two of them, age 10 and 12 at the time, also became believers. One night at a low point, Sally cried out to God. “If you’re not real, I can’t do this!” That evening she had a vision where Jesus clearly spoke to her, assuring her that “I am the way”.

“When she woke up she wasn’t going to keep quiet and hide her faith anymore,” Susie describes.

“She decided to get really bold with it. That was when the persecution came.”

A ruthless patriarch rained down punishment and threats on Sally and the two children. This included taking their bedding and clothes, denying food and water, burning the children’s uniforms, books, and

notebooks, threatening to lock them in the house and burn it down. They refused to recant. Once, the day before final exams, the patriarch locked the 12-year-old girl in her room for 11 hours without food, water or schoolbooks on a hot day.

Still she refused to recant. The following day she took her exams and scored the highest of the class.

With no punishment working, the patriarch finally offered a truce with conditions: Stop talking about it and the persecution would end. She responded, “I can’t”.

Eyes are now more intently observing the foreigners living in the town, Scott says. “Everybody is watching everything. If somebody comes to our house, people are going to take note. It’s fine to come, but if you come more than the average person or there’s not an obvious reason for coming, people will start wondering why.”

Which is why people like Sally are the key—someone in the culture sharing in a way foreigners never could. Sally and Ally meet privately with other women to study the Word, and Sally publicly speaks out about her new found faith.

ONE BLESSING LEADS TO ANOTHER The past year has continued to be one of answered prayers following years of waiting. Fifteen years ago, before Scott and Susie even began their work in Chad, they began

“I DOUBT IF SHE COULD HAVE EXPERIENCED GOD’S CALL TO COME AND WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE IF MAF HADN’T FLOWN US THERE FOR THE VISIT,” Scott reflects. “It was the rainy season and impossible to drive—but that was her only window of opportunity. It had to be MAF or nothing.”

It’s a long road ahead for the new recruit that includes finishing a Masters in Linguistics and learning French, Chadian Arabic and the language of the people group in order to translate God’s Word, but she is ecstatic about the future!

The long wait and answered prayers will require still more waiting, but the team is ready, patient and hopeful.

praying that God would send someone to a nearby unreached people group. In September 2017, a single woman made that commitment—following a MAF flight to visit the area!

There are over 360,000 people in this unreached group, spread across several countries. The area in Chad is often referred to as “the swamp” due to the flooding that occurs for six months of the year, completely cutting the area off to land travel other than walking through water for eight days while hoping to find a dry place to sleep!

Doctors Who Stay!

Story and photos by: LuAnne Cadd

THE HOSPITAL IN BARDAI, CHAD IS IMPRESSIVE AND WELL EQUIPPED. BIZARRELY, FOR A HOSPITAL IN AFRICA, IT IS ALSO EMPTY!

| FLYING FOR LIFE MAGAZINE |

Inside the spacious walled compound the cream and green-trimmed buildings are well laid out but there are no inpatients on most days. If you searched all the buildings, you’d find only a few hospital staff with little to do. After years of neglect, with equipment gathering dust, this shell of a hospital had few “vital signs” until recently—when two experienced British doctors arrived, ready to roll up their sleeves and bring it to life.

APRIL 2018

British doctors Andrea Hotchkins, an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, and her surgeon husband Mark, walk around the Bardai hospital where they will be working for the next few years.

The couple has taken on the task of transforming a barely-working health clinic into a functioning hospital. Built by the government in 2011, the hospital had seen few patients, high quality equipment gathered dust and no

doctor had ever performed a surgery until the Hotchkins arrived at the beginning of 2017.

How did this all come about? Another missionary couple, Mark Ortman and his wife Sheryl, have lived and worked in Chad for 25 years. They are based mostly among the Teda, a proud, free-thinking, non-Arab Muslim people group who live in an area that includes southern Libya, north-western Chad, and north-eastern Niger.

“Back in 2013,” Mark tells, “the governor of the Tibesti asked if I could find any missionary doctors to run the Bardai Hospital.”

It was an unusual request, but missionaries have proven to be people who bring good to the community—and who stay!

The hospital was built in 2011 as part of a development effort by the president of Chad. “It was probably the best equipped government hospital in Chad, but there were basically no staff to run it,” Mark explains. “Government doctors assigned here found reasons either not to come or not to stay. Missionary doctors were known to be in it for the long-term.”

For the first five months, Doctors Andrea and Mark began with an important, non-medical task: learning the Teda language, a daunting endeavour but one that will pay off in building relationships both on the job and among the community. During this time they set aside one day a week to work at the hospital.

“It’s just amazing,” Dr. Andrea describes. “There is so much equipment, but nobody really knows how to use it. There were two operating blocks—but no one had ever operated!

It was just a complete mess, so we made at least one of them functional. There are things missing. For instance, there are a number of oxygen concentrators but no tubes to connect it to the patient”.

Following their return to Bardai in mid November 2017, in just a month and a half, the doctors saw more patients than would normally be seen in a year: 35 inpatients, 22 surgeries and, a recently acquired skill, 27 dental patients.

MAF AND THE HOTCHKINS When the Hotchkins first moved to Bardai in February 2017, they were excited to see what an overland trip through the Sahara would be like. They soon found out! The road trip can take from three to five days across the desert, squeezed into a tight space with little legroom—if all goes well! However, vehicles often break down in the brutal heat and sand, causing delays that can stretch to weeks! MAF supports the Hotchkins through flights to and from Bardai, a fivehour flight from the capital of Chad. This involves a three-hour flight over empty, flat desert to Faya where the plane is refuelled, followed by two hours flying over the Tibesti mountains to Bardai.

“Having MAF around just makes a huge difference,” Dr. Andrea explains. “Living in an isolated place like this, it’s nice to know that, because of MAF, we can have a break every five or six months. That’s another huge way MAF helps.”

A Day’s

FLYING in PNG FOR A MAF PILOT, EACH DAY FLYING PRESENTS ITS OWN SET OF CHALLENGES. CAPTAIN LUKE NEWELL SHARES A TYPICAL DAY AS HE FLIES MAF’S CESSNA CARAVAN P2-MAG OUT OF WEWAK.

8:19 AM We depart Wewak for Oksapmin with a full load of medical supplies for the Oksapmin health centre.

Upon arrival, a man named Michael hops up to the aircraft while we are unloading, wanting to get to the nearby Sisamin airstrip. Michael has only got one leg so gets around with crutches.

I check the schedule for the day and decide it would be a minimal diversion and issue Michael a ticket (and also take another passenger wanting to go to Tari).

9:41AM We take off for the 5-minute flight to Sisamin. We climb out of the Oksapmin valley and descend 4000ft to Sisamin, working our way through all the different aviation procedures and checklists. Sisamin is at the bottom of the valley where the Lagaiap and Ok Om Rivers join to become the Strickland River.

9:50 AM Michael is very pleased to be in Sisamin. After only a few minutes on the ground, we start our 10-

minute flight up the Lagaiap River for Wanakipa. Arriving at Wanakipa, the passengers I expected are not ready. Because there were problems with the HF radio, they were not expecting the aeroplane until the next day. However, there is a small child who needs medical attention, so we wait while his mother prepares their bags.

Then another three High School students quickly gather their belongings, board the Caravan and we depart for Tari at 10:38.

10:59 AM We are now in Tari and the passengers have disembarked.

There is a full load of trade-store goods to be delivered to Tekin next, so the Tari traffic officers load the 1006kg into the aircraft.

12:20 PM After a 30-minute flight, P2-MAG has touched down in Tekin and is being unloaded. Eight High School students are waiting to go to Telefomin to sit exams so they are very eager to catch this flight. There is still one seat empty

in the aircraft, so I decide to make the short 5-minute flight back to Oksapmin to help at least one more student (no other aircraft will be operating in this area for at least another week).

1:13 PM We now depart Oksapmin with a full load of nine High School students.

I radio in to the Telefomin base to give an estimated time of arrival and check the weather. The weather report is good. However, they tell me there is a medevac at Miyanmin for a woman that has fallen out of a tree and hit her head and who needs to get to Telefomin.

2:08 PM We cross the ridge line to the north into the Eliptamin valley, touching down only seven minutes later. We pick up two government officials wanting to travel to Wewak.

2:28 PM We depart Eliptamin for the tenminute hop into the next valley where Miyanmin lies. After getting out of the aircraft, I notice two stretchers being carried to the

aircraft instead of one! I ask what has happened and discover that the first woman actually had an argument during a volleyball game the previous afternoon, resulting in a fight (rather than “falling out of a tree’’). Later that morning, the family of the injured woman came for revenge and beat the other woman.

Now both women have to share the floor of the same aircraft! We re-arrange seats, lay the two woman with their stretchers onto the floor in the back of the aircraft, fit in the remaining seven passengers, and take off for Telefomin at 3:12.

3:24 PM We arrive in Telefomin again and are met by the ambulance.

Unfortunately the ambulance does not have any stretchers so we transfer both women side by side into the back of the ambulance on the floor.

4:05 PM We leave Telefomin for Nuku. The 40-minute flight takes us out of the highlands and North across the Sepik River into the foothills of the Coastal Ranges where Nuku sits at

900ft elevation. On arrival at Nuku, our MAF traffic officer Ludmer with his family are waiting to board the plane back to Wewak. They have been visiting family in Nuku over the weekend and are now returning to Wewak.

5:14 PM Wewak-bound, we depart Nuku.

The 36-minute flight is uneventful in clear weather and we touchdown in Wewak at 5:50. It’s time to complete the day’s paperwork and then we all make the 10-minute drive home, just in time for dinner at 18:30!

Building a Legacy The story of one New Zealand family.

Story by Mandy Glass. | Photos by Heather and Max Tuck, Paul Woodington

Max and Heather got married at Lumi 59 years ago, on 25 March 1959.

The yellow MAF plane was their taxi to Wewak, flown by MAF pilot Kevin Dinsdale

THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY, MAF HAS ENABLED OTHERS TO DO WHAT GOD HAS CALLED THEM TO DO. MANY EARLY MISSIONARIES WERE AMAZING PIONEERS, BUT COULD NOT HAVE ACHIEVED WHAT THEY DID WITHOUT MAF”.

Almost six decades ago, one New Zealand family did remarkable pioneering work in PNG. Together they built MAF houses and a hangar, the Anguganak airstrip and hospital, the Sibilanga airstrip and the Yimbrasi Bible School to name a few. They constructed facilities for other missions to enable basic services to reach isolated communities in PNG. And the amazing thing is—all those facilities are still there and functioning today!

Heather Tuck, who now lives with her husband Max in Tauranga, recalls that in 1959 the Palai people at Sibilanga put out a call for a missionary. “Max and I felt this was for us. Max had helped build the Angugunak airstrip, plus three missionary houses made out of bush materials, in 1958 and early 1959 while he was waiting for me to arrive. The houses were for the Sturt family (John Sturt was the hospital’s doctor), Max’s parents and us. He then built the little maternity annex for missionary mothers when at Angugunak”.

The Tucks today.

“We settled into Sibilanga on 1 January, 1960.

Sibilanga became our home and we lived amongst these wonderful people. We certainly could not have done it without MAF.” Heather continues, “Our first son Deane was born at Sibilanga in September 1960. We were on our way down to the airstrip when I went into labour! Since then Deane has had a special place in the lives of our Sibilanga friends, as do our other two sons, Richard and Marcus”.

Going through old photographs Heather shares some more of her memories: How did the shiny red tractor get to Sibilanga, when there was no road connection at all? “The tractor was dismantled at Wewak and flown to the riverside airstrip.

It was amazing how those tires were carried in the little MAF plane! They were tied up and doubled over. They were then transported on nationals’ shoulders to the mission station. Some carriers took four to six hours to eventually arrive with the parts. The women would carry the 20-litre fuel drums for the tractor up the hill in their limbum (a “bucket“ made out of the base of a palm frond, the same way they would carry garden produce).

Sometimes they would even carry two drums at once.

Wonderful, wonderful people who really worked hard to get the new airstrip built on top of the hill, where it is still in pretty good shape and used today”.

IT’S BEEN 50 YEARS NOW, AND TO LOOK AT THESE OLD PICTURES AGAIN IS QUITE EMOTIONAL FOR US.

We worked almost ten months, night and day, with help from two nephews and a cousin who came from New Zealand for several weeks. Ollie Anderson, Bruce Mulholland and Max did the rest. In 1967 the airstrip was opened. What rejoicing!”

Then, in 1971, the vision to see a local Bible school developed.

Land was sought near Nuku, the government station. It became quite a project with a road having to be built and 100 acres of heavy forest purchased. Max’s parents came out and helped with the milling and building of the house for us, which relieved Max to start some small short Bible courses. Mum and Dad and his brother-in-law Bob Johnson lived in a couple of bush huts beside the sawmill. We commuted from Nuku each day until our little cottage was built.

Then of course there were student accommodations and classrooms to be built, tanks for water and numerous other facilities.

The three Tuck sons continue to have interest in the Sibilanga area.

In 2010, at the 50th anniversary, the people challenged them to help set up some businesses to create sustainable income for the local families. As a result, the Torricelli Vanilla Cooperative was set up and legalised by the PNG government. Now Sibilanga vanilla is exported to New Zealand!

Recruitment Retreat

Two years ago, we held our first Recruitment Retreat in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty. It was such a success—and so helpful to those who came— that we decided to hold a second Retreat in February this year. Especially created for those interested in serving with MAF, the weekend highlighted the international work and vision of MAF as well as the range of possibilities and positions within the organisation. Over the three days, potential candidates also had quality time to connect with the MAF New Zealand team and each other.

Rick Velvin, Ian and Nikki McBride and Ken and Erica Mathews, all of whom have a long history with MAF, presented insights into the challenges (and joys) of living in a developing

nation. These sessions were especially helpful as it is important that anyone contemplating joining MAF has a realistic view of what is involved in living and serving overseas.

Participants commented that they loved connecting with other prospective staff, learning the “ins and outs” of the application process, having an opportunity to fly ZK-MAF (our Cessna 206) and hearing from past and current MAF staff about what it’s like to serve with MAF. One person said, “it was great to have a focused weekend away with others who are asking the same questions as us, but also raising issues we hadn’t yet considered!”

FESTIVAL ONE 2018 All photos by Tim Houghton

For the third year in a row, MAF New Zealand set up camp at Festival One. Taking place over the long Auckland Anniversary weekend at the end of January, the four-day Christian festival brought together young people from all over the country.

The focus of the Festival was on creating a sense of community. The goal was not just to “watch” the big bands, but rather to meet and get to know people, swop ideas and stories and enjoy worshipping together.

We had our Cessna 206 in place by the time the crowds started to arrive on Friday, and on Saturday and Sunday we ran our “Challenge”.

To enter the Challenge, people gathered five-member teams and developed a plan on the spot to accomplish two tasks that simulated some of the challenges faced by our pilots overseas. Since this was a timed competition, success depended on teams quickly finding ways to work together.

It was a blisteringly hot weekend, with a high level of humidity but our team of volunteers and staff, ranging in age from 15 to 65, did an amazing job.

Hundreds of conversations took place with people from many different backgrounds, some with a long history of connection with MAF and others who had never heard of us. This gave us many opportunities to share the vision and goals of MAF and hand out a lot of material to those who expressed interest in MAF.

PREPARING “MISSION-READY PILOTS” MAF New Zealand has long punched above its weight in the recruitment of staff for the mission field.

However, the application process for pilots is especially complex and can be daunting, with numerous tests and assessments that need to be completed. With this in mind, in the next few months we will be launching an internship programme for pilots that will provide more focused support and encouragement as they manoeuvre through the process.

Because each potential pilot will be at a different stage of their journey towards MAF, the internship will begin by looking at the steps they need to

take in order to get ready to fly for MAF, then an individual plan will be developed to help them get there.

This might include Bible College training, flight training, a look-see visit to the mission field, leadership development or pastoral care.

Once accepted, interns will be assigned a mentor, who will walk through the process with them, providing encouragement and guidance. They will also begin building their long-term prayer base and financial sponsorship.

To find out more, please contact our office.

JON AND CARLA GARWOOD Jon Garwood is a third generation missionary who joined MAF in 2013.

Jon served as an apprentice Aircraft Maintenance Engineer in Mareeba, MAF’s Aircraft Maintenance Facility near Cairns. His wife Carla recently completed her teaching degree and their son Christopher was born in February 2017 (see photo).

MAF is an international Christian aviation organisation serving around 30 developing countries to reach people living in some of the world’s most isolated communities

Both Jon and Carla saw MAF as a way to serve God in a practical way, and we thank them for their service and wish them the very best as they start the next stage of their lives.

Operating more than 135 light aircraft, MAF flies into 2,500 remote destinations, transporting essential medical care, food and water supplies, relief teams and church workers enabling physical and spiritual care to reach countless thousands of people cut off due to formidable geographical barriers, natural disasters and political unrest.
