Missionaries;
serving God,
serving others…
We work for a global Christian charity called Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF)
We are Ryan & Shiv Cole…
Shiv arrived in PNG in 2014 to work with MAF, Ryan turned up two years later. We met in February 2016 and got to know each other in PNG before getting married in the UK in July 2017.
Ryan is a Pilot and Shiv works in Operations Support. We live in Telefomin, an isolated community close to the border with Indonesia, in Papua New Guinea. We’ve lived there since early 2018, visiting family and friends in the UK & Canada for a few months every two years or so.
Ryan is from Alberta, Canada and Siobhain (Shiv) is from the south of England, but we call Papua New Guinea HOME!
