Prayer DiaryWINTER 2015

January — March 2015

John Wesley once said, ‘Prayer is where the action is.’ As a dynamic and responsive organisation, MAF has often been privileged to deliver the answer to people’s prayers – and is certainly at the forefront of the action!

It’s so heart-warming when we hear how a few have gathered together during an emergency, and God has used one of our little planes to send His help, hope and healing to places of great need.

Here’s just one of those uplifting stories. One Tuesday morning, a missionary family

living in a remote area of Papua New Guinea was facing a crisis. Awful weather had damaged vital equipment, destroyed phone lines and cut their electricity supply. There was flooding in every direction, and the bad weather looked set to continue.

Trying desperately to make contact with the outside world, their failed attempts brought them to their knees. They were completely cut off and running out of food. Only God could help them now.

With rain continuing to batter against their home, the family gathered around a candlelit table and began to pray. ‘Send a plane, God. Send a message to the pilots, even though they are hundreds of miles away.’

PRAY CONTINUALLY

Prayer Diary | www.maf-uk.org2 Winter 2015

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Less than an hour passed before the clouds began to thin. The sun suddenly broke through and the sound of an engine could be heard in the distance. MAF Pilot Clint Smith was circling overhead, ready to land at Kawito airstrip with a trainee pilot.

MAF planes never land in Kawito on Tuesdays. God had intervened through this one-off training flight.

Perhaps you are still praying for God to intervene in a situation in your life, or perhaps you are part of His intervention.

However you feel God is leading you today, we want to encourage you not to give up praying. Your prayers are heard by our heavenly Father – they are part of His will for our world. MAF’s ministry is proof that prayer does lead to action, and lives are being changed for His Kingdom.

PRAYER DIARY

INTRODUCTION

We hope you enjoy our new ‘fresh-looking’ Prayer Diary.

This increased size allows us to keep you better informed of our work, and we hope that the inclusion of maps and some country statistics will help you feel more connected to the action. This new format has even reduced the cost of printing, so your gifts will go even further.

We are so grateful for your prayers and commitment to the work of MAF – may you know God’s rich blessings as you pray.

THURSDAY 1 Several countries in West Africa, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Liberia, where our newest programme will be based, are struggling to combat the Ebola virus [below right]. Pray for the doctors and nurses we fly, as they care for those suffering from the disease.

FRIDAY 2 Recent outbreaks of violence in the Horn of Africa, South Sudan and Kenya and tension in eastern DRC and northern Uganda threaten areas of our work in those regions. Pray for peace, protection and stability.

SATURDAY 3 We need more pilots to join our team in South Sudan. Pray that those with the right qualifications will come forward.

HEALING AND PEACE

‘When the rain falls, it’s totally impossible to come here. With MAF it’s just one or two hours. I can now come and preach the Gospel. Thank you MAF very much!’

Jean Claude, evangelist, Madagascar

You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our saviour. You are the hope of everyone on earth. Psalm 65:5
