When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
—Matthew 9:36(NLT)

Due to the current crisis and insecurity in South Sudan, MAF’s South Sudan, Kenya, and Uganda teams, along with members of MAF’s Disaster Response team, have been working together to meet a heavy increase in flight requests, both for evacuations and urgent supplies. Now the teams are moving away from evacuation flights to supporting critical partner projects within South Sudan. However, the rainy season and changing security picture makes planning a challenge. Please pray for the health and safety of MAF staff as well as for the people of South Sudan, and for lasting peace.
