As Director of Missionary Aviation, Mike oversees all aspects of ABWE’s aviation program to ensure the organization’s aircraft are flown safely and efficiently on the mission field.

Some of his responsibilities include recruiting qualified pilots and mechanics, resourcing flight and maintenance training for ABWE missionaries, and managing the organization’s aircraft. All this requires substantial travel both stateside and overseas to attend recruiting events, network with other missionary aviation organizations, and meet with ABWE missionaries on the field.

Mike’s role on staff also gives him the opportunity to teach itinerantly overseas at ABWE Bible schools and seminaries. April is an important part of this ministry as she helps Mike with the many administrative requirements of the job.

Mike and April reside in Wichita, Kansas with their three children, Caitlin, Alicia, and Haley.
