Volunteer with MAF

Whether it’s speaking at churches or other groups, helping run MAF displays at Christian and community events, leading a MAF prayer group, running your own fundraiser for MAF or simply keeping your church informed about MAF, you can be sure that your contribution will be valuable.

Being a MAF Volunteer, contributing your time and talent, will make a real difference to people living in isolation in some of the most remote communities on the planet.

Some quotes from volunteers

"I was initially interested in MAF because I love aeroplanes, and because I'm passionate about sharing the Gospel, and it was an organisation that combined these two things. Volunteering and getting to know some of the faces behind MAF has shown me how much of an impact this organisation has on individuals, communities and countries, sharing God's love with others in practical, lifesaving ways."

Danielle Labinsky
Recent university graduate, MAF Ambassadors Group.

“As former missionaries, we recognise the need of prayer support for those on the front line of missionary work.We are actively interested in the services which M.A.F provides to so many people around the world.  It is our privilege before God to stand with our brothers and sisters in prayer and giving, so that the kingdom of God may be extended through the effective preaching and distribution of the Gospel...”

Peter and Shirley Emanuel
Former missionaries in South America, MAF Prayer Hosts.

'Being a volunteer with MAF gives me the opportunity to tell others about the significant and varied ministry of this organisation. I also have the privilege of sharing in the great work done by our field staff, and encouraging others to consider praying, giving, or going.'

Peter Hunter,
Retired IT engineer, MAF Ambassadors Group.
