Are you
interested
in learning more about MAF and missions?
Unable to
make a career move but still want to put your specific skills and
technical expertise to use in reaching people that others can't?
If so,
a short-term assignment with MAF might be right for you!
Since our very first flight, hundreds
of men and women have ministered with MAF overseas on short-term
assignments.
What
options are available for short term assignments?
Generally
speaking, opportunities for short-term people exist in just about every
field of service that MAF is involved in. However, because most of
our areas of ministry are technical in nature,
short term candidates
must posses the same qualifications as career staff
in any given area.
If you're considering a short-term assignment with MAF in a chosen field
of technical or business-related service, please click on the appropriate
link below to learn more about the specific requirements of each area of
service.
Then, when you're ready to complete a preliminary application, simply make
sure to indicate that your application is for a "short-term" assignment
prior to submitting your application.

A word or two about the process of
applying for an overseas posting:
Considering a career with MAF isn't like changing jobs
here in Canada.
The very nature of our work, and
the places where we minister, require that all our candidates be
qualified and up to the task. As a result, the process involved in
applying with MAF as a career missionary can be a long one, so
patience is a must.
But if you're serious about joining, this
is a good place to start.
First, please take a moment to read our
minimum standards and requirements for overseas service found to the
right. This list is by no means comprehensive, but is designed to help you
recognize if a career with MAF is right for you.
If MAF is still where you want to be, let us know of your area of
interest and qualifications, by completing a simple introductory questionnaire that
gives us a chance to get to know you.
To
begin the application process,
simply click on
the appropriate link above, or speak with an MAF recruiter by calling our
national office toll-free during regular business hours at: 1.877.351.9344.
