From the Ecuadorian jungle to the wetlands of Bangladesh to the Mongolian plains prepare for take off on an exhilarating and eye opening journey that you will never forget.

About this title

Review:

"...this book invites you to join with the pilots, engineers, administrators, radio technicians and their families on a globe circling adventure with Mission Aviation Fellowship. You will experience the challenges of living in an undeveloped country where resourcefulness and creativity get the job done. You will join with indigenous Christians who literally had the Gospel brought to them "on wings from above"."

(Kevin Swanson, CEO, MAF US)

"The MAF journey that started around 60 years ago with committed pilots who had a vision to use their aviation skills for the Lord, continues today because of men and women like those you will read about in A Week in the Life of MAF, people who have given up comfort and security to give wings to the gospel.."

(Bill Harding, CEO, MAF, Australia)

‘I am so grateful to Irene, and the many contributors, for being prepared and willing to risk saying it as it is and what it is really like to be a missionary in today's world - warts and all.'

(Keith Jones, CEO, MAF UK)
