ABOUT US History • • • • In 1962, at the request of the West Indian Mission and Primary Health Care Suriname, MAF-US started a flight service for the mission and health care in the interior. This operation took place out of the MAF base in Guyana. In 1964, this changed when MAF-US started its own operation from the airfield at Zorg & Hoop. In 1982, with the establishment of the Mission Aviation Fellowship Suriname, the first step was made in making this service organization a Surinamese one. Today, the Mission Aviation Fellowship Suriname, SZV for short, is a fully Surinamese company collaborating with the MAF-US that is established in the USA. Objective “The purpose of SZV is to encourage and motivate the churches to bring the people of interior Suriname into living active relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and enable the church by participating with them using our aviation, people and communication”.
