I have a back log of photo’s to upload. Here are some from a GA8 dedication service last year. Our first Turbo charged GA8, we now have three in our fleet with a fourth one on it’s way. It has been awesome to see God’s provision of renewing some of MAF PNG’s aging fleet with much needed new aircraft.
June 2009 we had a dedication service for our first GA8 Turbo charged Airvan for MAF PNG. The first one of it's type in the world.

Maipson only had thirteen full days in Sydney, ten of them for the PT6 course. So it was a busy time trying to fit in as much sight seeing & activities as possible. Maips camera was broken just before coming to AUS, so I tried to take as many photos for him as possible.

The Saturday before Christmas BFO had it’s Christmas celebration. The first time for the ministry and for most of these children to celebrate Christmas, to hear the Christmas story and to receive a present. It was a very special day and the kid’s smiles were priceless.
The morning started off with feeding the children after a prayer and a song. Followed by Aunty Rosa sharing the Christmas story with the children. Then Jono who was visiting made an appearance dressed up as Father Christmas (which I was first hesitant about, but is not portrayed as it is in Aus so it was good) to help hand out gifts for all the children, which had been donated. The kids went crazy at this and at times it was hard to keep the kids under control. Besides presents for the children, there were shoes for some of the older boys and other goods donated to be given out.
There were several other presentations and talks following during the morning. For me it was the first time visiting the orphanage and after hearing so much from Aunty Rosa sharing, it was pretty heart breaking and hard hitting seeing these children. It was an encouragement though to see how God has continued to move in this ministry so far, in their lives and will continue to do so.

In August was the Mt Hagen cultural show, the biggest annual event in the Western Highlands. Up there as the biggest cultural show in PNG with the Goroka show. Took these photo’s outside the showground while the groups got ready and practiced. Then inside the showground during the display and then on the actual grounds. Being in the midst of several singsing groups as they performed was quite an amazing experience.

Seemed like a good time to upload some photo’s from this time last year. Didn’t take too many photo’s until i got the new camera after Christmas. Some photo’s from different things back in Sydney. Spending time with my Dad in the city and going to the Star Wars display at the Powerhouse Museum, Christmas day with family, camping (really tenting, not camping) down at Eden with close friends and other random stuff. Enjoy, Merry Christmas.
I was able to return to Australia for four weeks over Christmas 2008 and the New Year to see my Nan who had been diagnosed with cancer a few months prior.

Here are some more photo’s of the children, youth and women Aunty Rosa serves. These again were taken by Dave Schreier a few months ago. A Christian photographer who visited PNG and volunteered his services to MAF. Thanks again Dave for your service and these photo’s.

Photos from our Mt Hagen climb the last weekend in June. We camped out on the summit of the mountain and both days had glorious weather, despite freezing up there. The summit is roughly 12,400ft above sea level.
