The Information Technology Division is a community of disciples who are passionate about using information technology (IT) to connect the remotest parts of the earth to Jesus Christ.
Our technical specialists work to advance the kingdom of God among unreached people groups by supporting our aviation programs and the day-to-day systems that keep MAF running.
The Information Technology Division has a wide variety of technical positions that fulfill many roles, both on the field and at the U.S. headquarters. At MAF IT, our staff work on cutting-edge technology in some of the most remote and challenging places on earth. MAF also employs local technical specialists at its overseas locations and provides technical training and spiritual discipleship.
Information Technology enables MAF to provide the services it offers to some of the most isolated people in the world. The following are examples of some of the areas of expertise in MAF’s IT group:
- IT Security
- IT Project managers and Business Analyst
- IT Helpdesk and Support Analyst
- PC, Server, Network, and Database Administrators
- Data Visualizations – ArcGIS / Power BI
Regardless of the position someone holds within the IT division, the primary goal is to provide services that enable MAF missionaries and the organizations we serve to have the technical tools they need to build the kingdom of God.
