With November now behind us, the MAF Marathon has come to an
end. It’s been a wonderful time for all involved, and we have been blessed by
all the emails and messages from those of you who have been diligently praying
for MAF (and encouraging our weary legs). As we have read through the prayer
points on a daily basis it has also opened our eyes again to all the amazing
work done by MAF. Please keep praying and we’d encourage you to get in contact
with MAF and get onto their prayer lists.
We were also blessed with a visit here in Kompiam this weekend
by two MAF pilots and their families. Mathias and Mandy Glass, and Michael and
Jael Vogel with their 4 little Kids flew in on Saturday morning and back out
again first thing on Monday. We all had a wonderful time as we ran together and
also celebrated the work of MAF in the community here.
So how did we do? In total, the marathoners ran the airstrip
786 times in the month of November, just over 30 full marathons. They were
about a dozen of the kids who ran the full 26 miles and we achieved a record on
our final Sunday afternoon run of approximately 136 runners including people
from the school, Baptist Church and general community. The school also held its
annual Jumble Sale on Saturday morning with the proceeds of 2,458 kina going
directly to MAF.
Don’t forget to keep MAF in your prayers.
Blessings
The Conwell family and The Kompiam International
School
