"Who is like You, Lord God Almighty? You, Lord, are mighty, and Your faithfulness surrounds you. You rule over the surging sea; when it's waves mount up, You still them."~ Psalms 89:8-9 (NIV)

Above: Our Cessna Caravan, the Yindi (big) plane. (November 2016) This was my first trip on our new RPT shuttle service between Gove, Elcho Island, Lake Evella, Ramingining, and Milingimbi. Each weekday, this service offers a chance for locals to travel at a cheaper rate than an ordinary charter flight.

Hi everyone,

Welcome to another edition of Hudson's Flyer. I'm praying you have been blessed through these, and would like to say thank you for your willingness to support me in my work with MAF. Whether your support is through prayer, finances, or just showing personal interest through reading this newsletter, it all shows that you care, and is of great encouragement to me. So thanks!

Every newsletter, I try to post a verse that speaks to me at the time I write. Over the last couple of months, I've been going through a pretty tough period in my life, and it has been of great benefit for me to read some of the promises of Scripture, especially the ones that share of God's faithfulness and love, which will never ever fail.

If what I share is an encouragement to you, too, then that is good. There is no better source of encouragement than God's Word, so look up the Scripture I've shared and read it for yourself if you've been impacted by it.

Farm Life again!

For those who haven't already heard, I'm back down south on the family farm until May. This time off is as a result of some personal issues I faced while living in Milingimbi. Thankfully, this has been overcome, and I'm looking forward to getting back up to Arnhem Land with some better support now in place, and going back to doing what I do--fly a plane, and share God's love through the flying. In the meantime, I'm really enjoying spending lots of time with my family again!

In addition to doing some work around the farm during these months at home, I am available to those who want to catch up, and I would love to do so. Please let me know if you'd like me to come and share briefly at your church or small group, meet up for a meal or coffee (though I'm a tea drinker, white with no sugar), or any other form of catch-up you would like. I believe that God works everything for good, and despite my imperfections that have lead to this time off, it's an awesome chance to reconnect, so please ask, and if I can, I'll come!

Prayer & Praise!

Praise God that despite the many storms and widespread rain that is around during the wet season, flying is still able to continue, and all of our pilots have been kept safe. Thank you for your prayers for safety, they really are effective! Keep at it. This time of year is when our planes are most needed!
Pray for me as I spend some time back home, that I can be 100% ready to face the challenges of life in remote Arnhem Land again. Praise God for the good support He has around me, and for helping me through a difficult time.
There's a couple of MAF pilots who are soon leaving Arnhem Land to head to our South Sudan program. There is a lot of unrest and instability there, and as a result many many very needy people. Pray that MAF will have a safe and effective ministry to those people, and for the new pilots going there to be kept safe.

In January, I was able to go camping with two of my sisters, Rachel and Talitha. Here's a few pictures from our time in the beautiful Victorian high country.

Get Involved!

If you'd like to join my team through monthly sponsorship, regular prayer, or by telling others about what I'm doing, please get in contact with me. You could even plan a trip to Arnhem Land to see first-hand what we do! All donations are tax deductible and go towards the total amount I need to raise --$62,000 per year.

It's always great to hear from home, so feel free to send me an email or give me a call! If you have any questions about what I'm doing or how you can be a part of it, or if you'd like to share a story from your own life, let me know! Email me at huddyjis@gmail.com.
