MAF gets first Kodiak


Georgia finally got a close up and personal view of MAF's new Kodiak aircraft at the El Monte Airport near Pasadena. The Kodiak 100 was designed and manufactured by Quest Aircraft and runs on jet fuel, allowing MAF to reduce its dependency on avgas while ministering in remote, isolated areas. This first MAF KODIAK will be used in Papua, Indonesia. Dan is pictured here with John Boyd, MAF USA director. Georgia got right in and took photos of the inside, fantastic, just fantastic and so clean, too!

Fuller SIS graduation 2009



Yes, graduation time again, but this one was more special than usual, as the first "cohort" from SIS graduated 5 Dr. of Missiology students. And such a celebration we had, 30 folks here at our home for a time of eating and sharing. This first cohort was from Toronto, Canada and Dan was their mentor. So pictured here are Dan and Doug McConnell signing the dissertation sheets, Betsy Glanville and Dan signing Vaden Williams' cover sheet, Dan with all the grads; Ruth Cassidy, Harold Minor, Chad and Leslie Segraves, Christine Vaughan, Malcolm Hartnell, Joseph Wamutitu, Wondferahu Ersulo and Assefa Zelelew. And a photo of little Joeli Segraves learning to put on her sandle while standing!
