"Olah raga" or sports with Ultimate friesbee!


After our MAF half-day of prayer, it's time for MAF-Karyawan ( national workers) to play sports or games at MAF base in Sentani!  This time a new game was introduced by our athletic MAF-expats!


Karin Allrich and Natalie Holsten were the acting trainers on how to play " the Ultimate Friesbee"!

Hang-on a second! Before these ladies gave instruction to our Papuan brothers and sisters.  They were given a chance to do some practice! That was a chaos and lots of fun and laughters because those friesbees would just fly like flying saucers. It would hit on electric wires, almost broke my window glasses and damage my beautiful hibiscus plants! But they had a blast! So I am ok with it! :-)

MAF half-day of prayer & sports!

As I was looking around the office, I saw these plaques that represent our faithful pilots who lost their lives on service with MAF to the Papuan tribes and Indonesians.  In each plaque has its own life verse from the Bible. They are indeed worthy to be honored!


This is the (pendeta), or a minister who imparted God's words to us and encouraged us on his sermon this morning.  His theme was " Sukacita Melayani" or the Joy of Serving! He was mentioning our calling, the reasons why we are here and he used John 3:16 as text!



Didik an MAF Karyawan, Indonesian worker spotted good things that helped MAF Safety Operation.
One time, he spotted a bullet that hits a plane tire following an incident to one of the villages where MAF operates.  Didik has been acknowledged by our Chief of Maintenance! It was a surprise for Didik and he was grateful to receive it!
