I was one of the first 2 white women missionaries the people in the village of Fawi had ever seen. My co-worker and I settled into the village in 1976 in the early states of a Bible translation program of the Iau language. I was able to reduce the language to writing in 1977-1978. Today the work has been carried on by others. In those early days of our mission’s presence in Irian Jaya, MAF were a huge part. It is a great blessing to see MAF’s continuing involvement in the Gospel spreading through Iau-land.

In reply to Phyllis Beiter. Praise the Lord!! It is so uplifting to hear of these people going out to their own people and telling the LOVE of Christ.

Appreciated your report so much. I supported a missionary pilot and family in Sentani for several years. I have volunteered with Wycliffe Associates in Ukarumpa as well. Have been so blessed by these experiences.

This article really caught my attention, because I grew up as an MK in the Lakes Plains region, fed by the Mamberamo river. (We used to fly to boarding school on MAF aircraft.) My parents, Costas and Alky Macris, had a great burden for the people of the Lakes Plains and my father used to bring down Dani evangelists and teachers to staff many of the outposts Dad had built by carving out airstrips in the jungle. These Danis are true missionary heros, many dying from malaria in that steamy harsh climate or losing family members for the sake of the gospel—great is their reward! I believe Don Beiter flew floatplane flights for Dad and Mike Papa Lima often flew to our station.

My husband Don and I served with MAF in Papua in the 1960s, and our last 2 years there he flew the float plane MPL. A couple of times he flew the float plane in the Mamberamo serving and supplying the first missionary to that area, before they were able to create an airstrip. – It is so wonderful to hear now about what the Lord has done and is doing among the people down there in all these years! And The Lord is using the Dani mountain people who we flew among in the wheel plane previously, too! Praise God!

Thank you Lord Jesus for the Dani people group in the highlands of Papua, whom you have moved by the power of your Holy Spirit to present the gospel to those living in the lowlands of the Mamberamo. We praise you for the souls that were saved, the seeds of faith that were planted, and pray for these evangelists to have continued health and strength for all of those whom you have called to do Your will there in Papua. May you indeed be glorified and honored and receive all the praise for those who have responded to the Gospel message and have the hope of Heaven.
