A new generation
of aircraft ... to ACCELERATE
the next generation of ministry
One generation commends your works
to another; they tell of your mighty acts.
—Psalm 145:4
Five New Aircraft: A
Each airplane has its purpose
The pressing need
MAF-US operates a robust fleet of 53 small,
nimble airplanes, consisting of 10 different
models. These airplanes land on short,
rugged airstrips in some of the most remote
and difficult-to-access regions of the world.
At any given time in the 70 years of MAF’s
history, there has been a need to renew and
revitalize the fleet. Right now, the need for new
aircraft is particularly pressing.
• Several veteran MAF airplanes are fast
wearing out, even as the needs of the people
around them are accelerating.
Each MAF airplane is destined to fulfill a
specific purpose for a specific season. By
the time it completes the span of its useful
life—usually after several decades—countless
individuals and communities will have been
impacted by access to life-sustaining goods
and services, improved healthcare and
education, evangelism, discipleship, and
Bible translation. The love of Jesus reaches
one generation to the next.
It’s time for
these new MAF
aircraft to rise
up and serve this
generation.

• Older airplanes demand an increasing
burden of maintenance. This has a direct
negative impact on ministry as …
– Airplanes are not available to serve.
– Pilot/mechanics spend valuable flying
time fixing the airplanes.
– The growing cost of maintenance and
upkeep diverts financial resources from
meeting the physical and spiritual needs of
isolated people.
• Additional types of airplanes may be needed
in areas of the world where new models of
ministry are forming.
• Avgas (aviation gasoline), which has been
used for years in MAF’s older aircraft, has
become increasingly expensive and difficult
to obtain. Replacing older aircraft with the
appropriate non avgas-dependent aircraft is
a critical priority.
QUEST KODIAK
A Generation Awaits
The next priority
The Fleet Optimization Fund is a vital component of MAF’s Future Generations Campaign. Its goal is to
secure the purchase of five new airplanes. Please see the one-page insert to learn about the next fleet
optimization priority. It’s time for these five new MAF aircraft to rise up and serve this generation. In
locations all around the world—representing a diversity of situations, cultures, and needs—a generation
awaits. Will you help ensure that the next suitable aircraft reaches its destination as soon as possible?
MAF chooses an airplane based on the best fit for the people it will serve. With each model,
several factors are considered: What types of airstrips will it use? Does it burn fuel that will be
cost-efficient and readily available? What distances will it fly? What kinds of loads will it carry?
In short, will it be the right choice for its intended ministry?

A Sacred Trust
Financial gifts to MAF are a sacred trust. We utilize funds wisely and prayerfully, recognizing that factors such as fluctuating
costs and funding received may cause a shift in aircraft priorities. Once a preferred aircraft has been funded, it is MAF policy
to apply remaining restricted funds toward the next most-needed plane.
Are YOU called to
partner with MAF
for the next
generation?
There is no question. The need for new aircraft is URGENT.
Without new aircraft, current ministry will suffer. Future ministry will be compromised. But with them,
the legacy of past generations will flourish as the Gospel continues to transform lives in this generation
… and the next … and the next …
