Kevin & Beth Lynne

Mission Aviation Fellowship

My ministry with MAF involves using my skills as a pilot and mechanic to partner with the evangelical Christian missions and growing indigenous churches in Papua. My flying primarily supports local/national and Western missionary families living and working interior. And further, in support of the growing churches where planted, to help them send their missionaries and support them as they catch the vision to “go and tell”. An important part of our ministry is the relationships developed with the missionaries and nationals we work with as well as those we serve. They need to see Christ living in me as my reason to come and work here - more than meeting their flying needs, they need a Christian brother to work alongside as the Gospel goes out, to love them and to encourage them. It’s at times very rewarding and enjoyable, but can be draining as well.
