A Week in the Life of MAF:
Mission Aviation Fellowship
by Irene Howat
GoodBookStall Review:
The people who serve in MAF were asked to write diaries of a specific week in 2004, to give snapshots of their lives and work. The resulting book, put together by Irene Howatt, gives in almost overwhelming detail what MAF and it’s personnel get up to. There seems no area of need in the whole world that they do not serve, and not only with their flying and auxiliary work, but in the whole family’s involvement with the community in which they find themselves. I found that I needed to read this book in short bites, to give myself time to absorb what I was reading. It was well worth while, and I learnt so much; the geography and climate, the political situations, the different ways of life of the local people and so much more.
