Fraser and Tracy Norbury

Fraser and Tracy serve with MAF in Papua New Guinea. In 2021 they moved to Mount Hagen, Western Highlands province, to serve as the Head of Finance and Training Officer respectively. In mid-2025 they moved to the island province of Bougainville and are part of the team launching MAF’s new programme there. Their children, Rosie (8) and Oliver (11) are enjoying schooling and getting to know the local wildlife, especially on the nearby coral reefs.

Fraser’s family modelled what a life of active Christian service could look like. As a young person he went to UK national Christian family and youth camps every year and during this time his faith became personal.

After graduating from university, Fraser spent some time in Cambodia and Thailand with a mission organisation and then returned to the UK to gain a ‘trade’ that he could use to support mission abroad. He chose accounting and worked in a variety of financial environments, always with a view to eventually serving overseas.

Tracy was raised in a Christian home and gave her heart to Jesus at the age of 6 in response to her parents showing her a video of Reinhardt Bonnke preaching in Africa.

After graduation she started out as a community worker and then went into teaching, including teaching English to international students and vulnerable adults. She also joined the staff of their church to lead the Kid’s Church team.

Tracy and Fraser agreed when they got married that their default setting was to ‘go’ and they felt the Lord’s persistent nudging to get on and do it. After ‘pushing the door’ by applying to MAF they felt this nudging develop into a strong sense of calling to serve with MAF in Papua New Guinea.

They now live in Hutjena, just north of Buka Town, and are helping to set up MAF Aviation and MAF Technologies services there. Fraser supports the Operations and Finance aspects of the start-up, while Tracy supports HR and Training.

Rosie and Oliver are both keen on science, smoothies and swimming. They are pleased that the move to Hutjena has given them the opportunity to experience life on a tropical island which includes drinking coconuts, catching fish and discovering amazing creatures.
