Why MAF Sunday?

   MAF Sunday, October 10, 2010, is about bringing awareness to the difficulties of sharing the Gospel to remote areas and the barriers that must be overcome to do so. Through aviation and technologies, Mission Aviation Fellowship is overcoming these barriers.

Every day, MAF deploys a range of communication, distance education services, and aviation to support and advance the Gospel and ministry efforts throughout Africa, Asia, Eurasia, and Latin America.

Some 3 billion people representing 7,093 people groups live in the countries where we serve. Of these, 3.891 groups have been identified by the Joshua Project (joshuaproject.net) as among the “least reached” in the world.

To nurture the growing number of indigenous churches, national pastors and church leaders, MAF-Learning Technologies provides the needed delivery systems and tools that strengthen churches and maximizes the ministry of missionaries and indigenous evangelists.

This coming Sunday, Tony and I will have the privilege to speak on behalf of millions who live behind physical and spiritual barriers without hope of hearing the Gospel. We will be sharing our ministry with a Sunday school class and a women’s bible study group in Fullerton, CA.

Not every one is called to go to the ends of the earth, but God does call each of us to care for the poor and the needy, and He calls us to make disciples of all nations.

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” Proverbs 31:8
