This may well be the last email sent by the team as it is a busy weekend and then we start travelling on Monday morning.
 
Points for prayer & praise:
 
Give thanks that Derek’s neck problem has gone.  He is like a spring lamb with his new found agility!
 
The runway at Kilimitinde, although not completed by any manner of means, was used for the first time for a medical evacuation which gave the team a huge lift as their efforts were able to help someone receive the medical attention they needed.
 
Praise God that the rest of the team, who were based in Dodoma this week, were able to lead the hangar praise night. This was attended not only by MAF staff but by several folk from other mission agencies based in Dodoma .
 
They were also blessed by helping out at a local Tanzanian nursery school leading the classes and singing Christian songs. This was hugely appreciated by the teachers in the school.
 
Nick & John helped in the hangar on Wednesday preparing a fuselage for respray which was done on Thursday. On Thursday both Nick & John were able to fly on the southern shuttle before stopping at Dar es Salaam to pick up Steven Paxton who will be married on Sunday in Dodoma . Steven was a former MAF overseas team member and also an area rep in Glasgow . Please pray that the team have a good time at the wedding. 
 
This weekend the team will lead an outreach to local Tanzanian kids aged 12 – 18 approx. Pray that what we have to say will make a difference in their young lives.
 
On Monday we leave Dodoma by land rover travelling to Morogorro and then on to Mikumi to visit a game reserve. Please pray for safety for the team and for wisdom for Annie Lawson who will accompany us (Annie is a former MAF aircraft engineer).
 
We will arrive in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday evening before flying to the UK on Thursday afternoon via Dubai . We should arrive (God willing) in Glasgow at 12.30pm on Friday.
 
One further point for prayer; please pray for the MAF team in Tanzania thanking God for their input and patience and for all they have done for the team over the last few weeks. Pray also for the ongoing work of MAF in Tanzania and around the world.
 
If you would like a member of the team to visit your church to tell you about their experience and about the work of MAF please respond to this e mail.
 
Thank you all for your prayer and ongoing support.

May the Lord bless and keep you safe,

  Andy Martin .
