Wednesday afternoon at 2:30pm saw the entire MAF PNG operation grind to a halt. Planes came to rest, engineers put down their tools, admin staff switched off computers and ground crew gathered in their yellow jackets…
The occasion? The bi-annual MAF International Day of Prayer.
This is a unique and much-anticipated opportunity, which brings MAF staff together not only in PNG but around the world. As a global team, Mission Aviation Fellowship sets aside these prayer days to worship, fellowship and focus again on why we do what we do.
The theme for November was “His Perfect Peace”, and the Mount Hagen team came together to sing, speak, listen and pray as we meditated on this phrase and its implications for our work within the MAF vision and purpose.
What a privilege to gather as a multicultural team of believers, working and serving for His glory in Papua New Guinea!
