Dear Friends ^ '

This is

truly

a letter of gladness and praise for God hasbrought megreat happ

ness showing me His plan in bringing me to this time and place and setting a

unmistakable seal of blessing upon my life. Join me in a hymn of thanksgiving an

praise

to Him of

whom

we affirm, Thou wilt show me the path of life; in Th

presence is fulness of joy.

I

know

you are waiting to hear the news

behind

the news

and

apologi2e f

keeping you

so

long.

Alastair

Macdonald

(John) came to Thailand in

Novembe

shortly

after

my

last

newsletter was

written to

you.

His

aim was

to make a

survey

determine whether or not the

work

of preaching the

Gospel

here

would

be helpe

greatly by

the

use

of an airplane; he is one in a closely knit band of

young me

whom

God

has asked

to bring about quite

literally

thai they shall mount up

wi

wings

To me it is wonderfully significant that I have been given to becom

one in a partnership

which is

through His

grace

to bring about in an

extreme

practical and concrete way the fulfillment of that

conviction

of need for urgenc

which He

used

so

strongly

in bringing me to the

field. These young men

call them

selves

the

British

Missionary Aviation Fellowship

(John is

Scottish

in

case

h

name hasn't

already

told

you

that ). Eager to serve not missionaries especially b

God,

these

men

have

no

interest

in

simply making

life on the

mission field som

what easier. They

are a

prayer

fellowship

as

the

following excerpt

from

a

lette

rather indicates; we are greedy

for

an

increasing

volume of prayer

for

th

M.A.F. has primarily a

spiritual

target

viz enabling evangelization

making

possible for

missionaries

to operate in places they could not otherwise

reach.

Wherefore brethren look ye

out

seven men . . . whom we may appoint

ove

this business. Acts 6:3. As in those first

days

the

Church

appointed men

for

speci

tasks

so

today

there

are

specialist

helpers such

as

doctors nurses

and

printers an

now more

recently aviators whose

task

it is to help themissionaries

overcome

man

obstacles to a wider extension of God's Kingdom as

they

carry out theGreat Com

mission, Go ye into all the world

All members of M.A.F. are consecrate


7/13

present language study still

takes

a

heavy

toll of time but

soon

the missionaries

will be

pushing

out opening new work. The last two or

three

years have seen the

beginning

of

work

among

the

mountain tribes and as the

territory

is unexplored (to

all mission intents and purposes an

aerial

survey would be a real help.

Later

other

needs for air assistance may

become

apparent in connection with the tribal effort.

Many feel a

mission

plane

would

greatly expedite their

plans.

Perhaps the most immediate need for the plane is with the

leprosy work.

A

Buddhist stronghold, this land is

known among missionaries

to be a particularly

difficult

field

for the unresponsiveness of the

people

is

almost appalling.

Oneof

the reasons for this is

probably

because as a nation they have

never

truly known

great suffering or difficulty. Of late, however a door

seems

to be quietly steadily

opening, and this, through the hearts of

those

stricken with

leprosy;

people who

are aware

perhaps

as

keenly

as human

beings

are able the transitiveness of

earthly, material, things. The American Mission to the

Lepers

has the chargeof get

ting these people into small cooperative villages of their own where they work to

gether to support

themselves

without fear of transmitting their disease or being

outcast, and where they can be more easily treated effectively.

Leprosy

is not now

incurable, but treatment is a slow

process

requiring frequent and

steady

taking of

medicine over a long period. Meclicine is supplied through the A.M.L. and the

missionaries

(of other

missions

in each area

have

the

opportunity

to help by tak

ing responsibility for dispensing the pills as it were. And here, it seems is the

secret:

as the lepers come

week

after week perhaps for two, three years or

more

they

receive

not only their medicine, but Gospel messages for the healing of their

souls. Fruits are becoming increasingly apparent, and the director (A.M.L.), a

tireless, consecrated ser\ ant of the Lord, anxious to expand with more and more

colonies

(Thailand is

cursed

with the

disease

and push wide this door for the

Gospel, is eager for the help a plane wouldoffer. Travel is his greatest hinderance.

Unlike the countries round about, this is a

peaceful

land where

railways

and

roads

are

freely usable

but far from ideal. Although trains are economical they are

fairly

slow

and crowded and rail coverage is limited. Roads

mostly

very rough and

few are in the all-weather

category

so the wet season causes major disruption for

about seven months every year.

In the past, use of airplanes in the work of missions has been hindered by the

two problems of cost and

safety.

Briefly to be operated

economically

a plane must

be used

every

available hour, something a

missionary

is

powerless

to do if he spends

his time at his

work. Safety

is possible only when qualified engineers are available

to carry out efficient inspections at regular intervals. The

Missionary

Aviation Fel

lowship is able to erase these two difficulties by bringingall the

missions

on a field

into cooperation and providingthem skilledpilots and aircraftengineers.

Mr. Macdonald, as other men of MAF , is a fully qualified aviator/engineer

and wherever we serve

in

Thailand if God wills) his time will be well taken

with

these

two

jobs.

Just

now

he is working at getting

governmental permission

to establish the air

service.

The Thai officials

have

had his request under

considera

tion for some time and on this specific pointwe ask your prayers feeing that God

would

have

us work here

yet seeking

only

to bewilling to

be

used of Him

how

and

where

He wills

I have continued on here at Chiengkam learning-the

language

and coming to


8/13

viction

that if we but trust God to guide

us,

and

follow

His

perfect

leading, H

will use us to His own honor and glory. We long to see the unity of

believers

an

knowing

Christ s own

prayer

for it,

trust Him

to

use

usto that end and to the

sav

ing of manysouls.

May

God

keep you faithful

to those tasks which he

has committed

to

you,

fo

Jesus sake, andmay the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, guard you

hearts

and yourthoughts in Christ

Jesus.

Biography

Alastair John Macdonald was born of Scottish parents in Bengal, India, Decem

ber 27, 1924.John

began

his education in

Scotlancl

but

circumstances

directed other

wise

and all

except

his

earliest

years

of

study

were

spent

in

London.

He

attended

Colet Court

prep school and St.

Paul s,

and then

entered

the College of

Aircraf

Engineering.

A t the

conclusion o f hi s

course he was called to serve w ith the Fleet

Air

Arm

and was, during the war,an air engineer officer in Royal Naval

Aviation.

Mr.

Mac

donald is an

Associate

Member of the Society of

Licensed

Aircraft Engineers, an

a Graduateof the

Royal

Aeronautical Society.

Flight training, taken after the war,was in direct response to God scall to him t

missionary aviation. His life was already surrendered to the Master for full tim

service

but now it

became

plain that the challenge of the

mission

field was to b

his.

Reared

by a wonderful Christian mother, John early gave his heart to Chris

determining to serve Him with his whole life. Throughout his school years th

Crusaders

Boy s

Bible

Class

(a strong Christian youth work in Britain) afforded

him

especially

fine training in the Scriptures. Later he

became

an assistant leade

workingwith the youngerboys in a BibleClass and in their summer

camps.

During

the time

occupied

with

aviation

training he came in

contact

with an independen

Church of Christ in Southampton, England, and became convinced that he shoul

be

immersed.

It was there that he

was

buried with His Lord in the

waters

of bap

tism. (Should you wish, it would be very well in order for you to wn>e the churc

in Southampton, c/o Pastor Philips, concerning their knowledge of John and hi

fellowship with them.) Although his primary job on the field will be to give, a

it

were,

wings to the

Gospel

message, he is not at

loss

to

preach

the Word, anJ

has as his life s full motivation that true

missionary

spirit which

seeks

to win th

hearts m en to o u r matchless

Lord.

Leaving

Great Britain a year ago last

December,

he went to the Anglo-Egyptian

Sudan

where several monthswere spent assisting and observing MAF s work there

and then continued on to French Indo-China for a sur\ ey of that field and as i

was to turn out,

several

months of

flying.

The work in Indo-China seemed, how

ever,

less than what one plane should do, and soon, bya happening that

showed

quite plainlyGod s desire that Thailand also be surveyed, John was led to that task
