Matthew Veale

Background

I grew up in a Christian family in the south-west of England and have trusted Jesus as my Saviour for as long as I can remember. I attended a Christian school from the age of 10 where my faith grew and I was introduced to international missions and MAF as a young teenager.

I knew that I wanted to be involved in the work to bring the light of the Gospel to the farthest parts of the world. Aviation has always been a passion of mine and I gained experience of overseas travel teaching English as a foreign language to students in various countries around the world. My first experience of international missions was in India in 2013 on a school mission trip, which made a big impression on me. Although I initially wanted to join MAF as a pilot, my journey has led me to join MAF’s Engineering Training Scheme in 2021 and it has proved to be the right fit.

I began studying Aircraft Engineering and Maintenance at the University of South Wales in September that year and have now graduated and moved to Gloucester for my practical training. I am approaching the end of the two year scheme after which I will move to a MAF programme overseas.
