What is MAF?

MAF is a family of organizations led by people in countries around the world who share a similar vision: taking Christ's love into the most remote places on earth. MAF-US collaborates with sister organizations to meet spiritual and physical needs in 29 different countries, with a fleet of 120 airplanes serving some 1,500 non-profit organizations, churches, and humanitarian agencies.

Isolation is a problem

There are people who, simply because of where they were born, will never have the same chances many of us enjoy — access to education, medical care, disaster relief, or the love of Jesus.

Millions of people around the world live cut off from all this and more by geographic barriers like jungles, mountains, and deserts — or by social, political, or religious barriers.

MAF's vision is to see isolated people changed by the love of Christ.

Mission and vision

Each year, MAF provides aviation services to more than 400 mission agencies, churches, and humanitarian organizations around the world. Without MAF, some of these organizations would be unable to reach the people they serve.

Wilbert contributes through his expertise as IT Director, ensuring that MAF's airplanes around the world can continue their work.
