    “I thank my God…because of your partnership in the gospel” Philippians 1:3-5

     
    Dear Friends,

    Thank you for your generous gifts and prayers which make our work with MAF possible. You truly are partners with us in the ministry as you give and pray.

Our old office was very small and for many years we have asked the Lord to provide a larger facility for us. The airport talked about renting us land to build a new office but never followed through on it.
