"Do you think a robotic scientist and a computer expert can make a difference in a remote community in the swamps of Papua New Guinea? A community only accessible via aircraft?"
Sometimes we fly people to a certain location and, though we might know about the ministry they are involved in, we do not get the full picture, because another pilot is picking them up again. This is also true for the following story, which MAF PNG recently released.
While doing training with a new pilot in the South Fly area of the Western Province, we picked up long term missionary Graham Martin and his two companions in Daru to go to Suki. As the weather had been very challenging we had to overnight in Kawito and had a good time listening to the stories of Graham, who has been serving in PNG for decades. Next day we were able to drop the men in Suki, but did not meet them again as another pilot picked them up and brought them back to Daru.
