Because remote Karimui has no roads to connect people to the rest of Papua New Guinea, the only way villagers can obtain Bibles is to get them from the back of an MAF aircraft.
Pastor Kimin Mauwe, the community-appointed agent for Christian aviation charity MAF, began ministry in Karimui 33 years ago. For the past 32 years, he’s served MAF by providing weather reports and preparing passengers and cargo for travel.
“When the MAF plane comes to the airstrip,” the pastor says, “everyone gathers around the pilot, and many buy [the heavily subsidised] Tok Pisin Bibles quickly.”
