Reasons to ‘ReJoyce’

Unloading food and Bibles from the new Kodiak Quest 100 aircraft

On 7 July, MAF Pilot Mike Brown loaded a new Kodiak Quest 100 aircraft with food supplies and Bibles and flew to Emdoman, central Papua.

The first operational flight for MAF’s newest aircraft had taken almost three years to reach MAF’s Indonesian programme due to coronavirus restrictions.

The trip to Emdoman, which lasted roughly an hour, saved the plane’s passengers several days of arduous overland travel – enabling the pastors to return home and distribute food and Bibles to the delighted villagers.
