Why you should support and how you can support (financially, through prayer)
You don’t have to be a pilot to do this work in Indonesia. We couldn’t go to Indonesia without our team of supporters. We have friends who pray for us, give financially to our ministry and encourage us. While Brad does have to be a professional, experienced pilot, he’s just the one who flies the plane. So many others make the plane fly.

Your money at work in Indonesia…
When you sign up to support our ministry, your donations will pay for our living expenses, salary (which is equivalent to a school teacher’s salary in the States), medical insurance, travel costs to and from Indonesia and other staff-related expenses like these. It will not go to paying for airplanes or gasoline. It doesn’t pay for overhead costs of the ministry.
Please email us if you have any questions about giving.
Calling you to pray…
Five times a day, a devout Muslim is supposed to pray to Allah. And in Muslim countries like Indonesia, the mosques broadcast these "calls to prayer" on loud speakers throughout the cities—as early as 4 a.m. every day.
We need people who will regularly pray for us while we serve among these people. That means you could pray every day, every week, or whenever we come to mind. Sometimes a Bible study or small group of people will commit to pray for us when they have their meetings. If you want to be on our prayer team, email us.
We communicate our prayer requests through our quarterly prayer letter. Sign up for the letter by emailing us. Let us know if you want to receive it by email or by snail mail. (Either way, MAF needs your physical address.)
Sometimes we send out emails more frequently to people committed to pray, so if you want to be on that list, email us.
