MAF FATHER’S DAY GIFT

Mission Aviation Fellowship is a Christian organisation whose mission is to use light aircraft and technology to bring help, hope and healing to some of the most isolated communities in the world. They might bring in medical supplies, or Bibles, or take out produce to market that will inject income into a community. They might bring in a visiting nurse or airlift a sick person in need of emergency medical attention.

 

This Father’s Day we are invited to help by buying a $50.00 Jerry Can of fuel. A 20 litre jerry can of fuel can save a life.
