The Founders, Charlie Mellis, Jim Truxton and Grady Parrot were all still in the organization and cast a compelling and inspiring vision that we all caught.

In time, Bob Lehnhart asked us to consider and pray about joining MAF and the opportunity to serve stretched over the next 16 years in MAF Indonesia and MAF Fullerton/Redlands and in leading Redlands Aviation Corporation.

We were trained and mentored by MAF’s Finest in “providing mobility to the Church Worldwide through aviation transportation and communication.”

David, thank you for your thoughtful words about a significant task yet to be done.

Our service for the Lord was mostly in Beirut, Lebanon, at the Arab Baptist Seminary from 1960 to 1989 but we kept in touch with and prayed for the work of MAF all those years and up to today! It has been a joy to watch God’s work grow through you all these years. We praise the Lord with you.

He instilled a deep sense of fellowship; all sharing together the burdens and blessings of being “a servant to missions”. 75 years has shown repeatedly God’s hand of direction and provision, through often hard experiences and dark days. May the Spirit’s light and lamp continue to guide, always as a Servant in God’s Kingdom enterprise worldwide.

God has led me to begin helping to support Jonathan & Cindee Raney in Indonesia prayerfully and financially as I am able.

I’ll be saving this video and message in my Important Papers Folder. Blessings! Steven R. Russell Lead King! United States Of America.

When MAF was 25 I received a plaque from you Commemorating 25 years.
Point of interest I was born in 1945, so I will be 75 in 2020!

It is a blessing that MAF remains faithful to serving the Lord.
