OUR MISSIONARY FAMILIES
Our missionary families are based in different countries around the world, serving in isolated communities. Here are their testimonies.
Mark and Lorraine Liprini
Mark and Lorraine Liprini have been with MAF since 2001. They have been serving faithfully across the MAF globe ever since. After serving 18 months in Uganda, the Liprini’s moved across to MAF Tanzania in 2022, with Mark fulfilling the dual role of Chief pilot and Operations Director. They are loving serving the people of Tanzania in a very direct, hands-on role.
Tobias and Moriah Meyer
Tobias is a pilot serving in South Sudan. Him and his wife, Moriah got married in 2021 – she is as excited as Tobias for the missions! South Sudan has few roads across its vast swampy plains, meaning aid and mission groups depend on MAF’s aircraft to reach people suffering through hunger, conflict and isolation.
Brad and Michelle Venter
Brad and Michelle joined MAF in 2010 and started serving in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 2011: They have been serving in Papua New Guinea with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) for the past 15 years and will be moving to Uganda in August 2026. This will be a significant change for their family, but they are excited about this next chapter and the new opportunities to serve.
Gift and Abigail Mposi
Gift is touched by news items about people who are vulnerable and displaced. When he read MAF’s purpose and vision, it resonated with his passion for saving lives and souls through Christ. He knew he wanted to serve the Lord and do the work he was trained to do. After completing the online application, he was ecstatic when he was invited to write the MAF knowledge competency assessment. With the support of his family and church colleagues, Gift is proceeding with the comprehensive selection process and is looking forward to being part of MAF and saving lives through the maintenance of MAF aircraft that fly to remote places. He says, “I love the Flying for Life statement on MAF aeroplanes.”
