Mission Aviation Fellowship

Mission Aviation Fellowship is a team of aviation and communication specialists overcoming barriers in isolated and remote regions in support of more than 300 Christian and humanitarian organizations around the world. MAF was founded in 1945 by former World War II pilots who loved the Lord Jesus, loved flying, and wanted to see their two loves joined. MAF's first field pilot, Betty Greene, one of the five MAF founders, was a true pioneer who flew the mission's inaugural flight piloting a Waeo biplane headed for Mexico. Today, some 190 MAF families continue to overcome barriers along the isolated frontiers of our faith in Africa, Asia, Eurasia, and Latin America.
