MAF Technologies formerly known as Christian Radio Missionary Fellowship (CRMF). We are an inter-denominational technical mission which has been based in PNG for over 60 years. We exist to provide the Church and the remote communities in PNG with technical solutions, such as High Frequency (HF) radio communication, IT solutions, Solar infrastructure installation such as lighting, Solar Vaccine Fridges, digital audio bibles and any other technology that can help them to advance the gospel.
The churches in PNG are moving slowly or are stagnant as we advance rapidly into the technological era, so we stand in the gap as the bridge over this digital divide to help them. We help them through our Learning Technologies Department who primarily aimed at using new digital technologies and trainings to help remote pastors and church leaders carry out their ministry through this digital and technological era. Also, through our partnership with MAF International we are also able to give remote communities access to God’s Word via both printed Bibles, digital Bibles, and solar powered Audio Bibles with the help of the pilots we put the Bibles and the Biblical resources in a Bible Box which the pilots carry with them when they go out into the remote communities.
