Only when the plane comes
You shield your eyes against the glare of the blazing mid-morning sun. Your eyes dart back and forth, scanning the
horizon, searching for the source of the sound as it echoes across the plain...
Then it appears. A tiny dot at first,
but growing larger with every passing moment.
It's the MAF plane. Right on time. Just in time.
Maybe it's a
regular weekly flight bringing medical supplies to restock a local village clinic, or Bibles translated into your language
for the very first time...
Maybe it's bringing building supplies for the new school, or replacement parts for a broken
well...
Or maybe it's coming to airlift a sick or wounded child in desperate need of emergency medical attention...
Whatever the reason, to countless thousands of families living in more than 30 countries around the world, planes from Mission Aviation Fellowship, an international, Christian, humanitarian, relief and development organization, are anticipated and welcome.
Best known for aviation, Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF)
pilots and mechanics operate and maintain a fleet of over 142
aircraft - flying in and out of some 2,500 airstrips around the
world.
Together, MAF reaches out on Wings of Love to put Christian
faith into action by providing for the transportation and
communications needs of thousands of missionaries, relief and
development agencies, and indigenous churches around the
world. |
