One Year Later

It has been one year since we officially began our ministry with Mission Aviation Fellowship. One year of learning, growing, being stretched out of our comfort zones and seeing God work in amazing ways. A year ago we looked at December 2014 and anticipated being fully funded and well on our way to serving overseas, but God had a different plan. A better plan. A plan that has involved us being able to travel around Ontario and even out to Alberta, meeting people that we may not have met if our ministry support had come in our timing. A plan that has helped us to learn more of our weaknesses and strengths as we accomplish tasks and share our story.
In the first 6 months we saw God work in amazing ways and our one time outgoing amount was fully funded. At 8 months our monthly support was at 50% and we celebrated again.  Now at 12 months we have been blessed with over 200 ministry partners who are behind us financially and in prayer and we have reached 75% of our monthly ministry support.  Wow.  God has moved in mighty ways and we thank each of you for listening to His call and giving to our MAF ministry.

What's next?

As we approach Christmas we have been sharing on our Facebook page the 12 Days of Christmas.  You can catch all the entries here as well, by clicking the tab at the top of the blog "12 Days of Christmas"  We have been highlighting some of the many reasons why MAF flies and are inviting you to considering giving these as gifts this Christmas.  We all have those hard to buy for people on our list so we want to make it easy for you.  By partnering with us in our MAF ministry for any monthly amount, you are giving an even greater gift to countless isolated communities around the world. Click the donate tab today to finish your Christmas shopping, all with out having to wait in long line ups.


Thanks to all who have partnered with us and for those who are yet to.  We are filled with gratefulness as we look back on the past year and filled with excitement as we look forward to the coming weeks when we will be able to finish this phase of our journey and prepare for serving the people of the DRC.
