Everyday, MAF provides a profound Christian presence through flights of mercy, meeting healthcare and medical needs in the most isolated corners of the globe.
MAF responds quickly and effectively to save lives and ease suffering caused by accidents, disease, disasters, and deadly epidemics.
In many remote villages of the world, the only ambulance service that can reach emergency cases is a small MAF plane flying from a short, unimproved runway. During medical flights, MAF staff members witness to patients about the love of Christ, often saving souls, as well as lives.
Thousands are saved each year because MAF “wings of mercy” transport doctors, nurses, and medicines to patients in minutes instead of weeks. And many epidemics are prevented by massive immunization campaigns whose workers are flown in by MAF.
Every day, MAF transports tons of vital emergency and medical cargo. In hundreds of remote areas, clinics and hospitals can receive medicine, medical equipment, and supplies only if they are flown to them as cargo aboard an MAF airplane.
MAF communications networks advance healthcare as well. Remote field clinics can maintain contact with large hospitals via HF radios connected to computers powered by solar panels, which relay email messages via satellite.
MAF communications services have opened doors that are locked to traditional ministry strategies. For example, MAF installs solar panels in areas of South Central Asia without access to electricity. As a result, MAF embodies the light of the Gospel while powering small village clinics.
Providing critical support to the international medical community, MAF aviation and communications services make the difference between life and death for hundreds of thousands of people living in remote areas of the globe.
