Last Friday we had a fellowship day where all the staff, National and International, got together for a time of worship and teaching led by Tony Horsfall (MAF's Pastoral Care Worker, who works for Charis Training in the UK). During that time we also put the prayer chains together. As we did we read some of the prayers that people had written. Thanks to all of you who contributed to this and for your prayers...they work!!
Our Information Co-ordinator, Jill Vine, explains it well in the following....
o
We’ve kick started the “Paper Plane Chain”
venture with the National Staff helping to assemble and read the encouraging
messages sent to the program…the office is now looking very festive. The
International Staff have made a dint in the next batch of chain mail, soon to
be followed by the entire team helping to finish off the rest of the chains
designated for MAF staff on Friday at our fellowship day at the
hangar. (soon to be also laced with paper planes) After
this, the flight on the 13th to both Pader and Soroti (Northern Uganda) will take
place with 8 national & international passengers delivering the rest of the
messages/paper planes that have been written and sent in for the IMA clinic and
ALARM.
The messages that we’ve so far read together have been quite amazing and have given us an awareness of the world of supporters praying for us as a team at large….Please pray that on the 13th that our partners in Pader and Soroti will also feel the effect of these reassuring messages and that it will encourage them to keep persevering in their ministries and to also know they’re covered by MAF, not just by flights, but also in prayer.

A photo of our MAF Pilots and Engineers beside the new Cessna 208 that just flew in that morning. This is the newest aircraft in our fleet and so there are a few people who are excited to be flying and working on it very soon once the registration and necessary paperwork is complete.
