Tests, tests and more tests!
A glimpse into Phil’s world: Nose in the books! That’s been Phil’s mantra for the last 6 months or so, and it doesn’t appear to be lightening up anytime soon. After receiving his Inspection Authorization last December in the States, he needed to renew that certificate in March (FAA rules). Fortunately, by performing an annual inspection […]
Treasuring the moments
Luke 2:19 “But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.”This is exactly where we are at this Christmas! A time of treasuring up the moments we have had this year, cherishing the people we’ve met, and enjoying the ‘now’ moments no matter how small.After a semester of separation, my momma […]
Just the Beginning
A highlight of our time in the U.S. has been our three older boys getting their driver’s licenses. All the anticipation, preparation, instruction; all the practicing, learning, and testing – they did it! And yet, they are only just beginning their journey as drivers. They continue to build experience as they drive. We realize that […]
Celebrating 3 years in Kenya!
Three years! July 9 marked the day we left U.S. soil 3 years ago for Nairobi, Kenya. At the time we didn’t know how we would fit into the AIM AIR family of missionaries or what to expect. We just knew that God had called us into aviation ministry and that we were willing to […]
Leaving Well – Home Assignment 2018

As part of being Assistant Quality Manager for the maintenance department, Phil recently completed a week long course called Quality Management Systems. Paperwork is a necessity in aircraft maintenance. Phil often […]
Card’s Journey
One day, Ms. Missionary Supporter was sorting through her mail. With a gasp of pleasure, she excitedly opened a card from a missionary family that she and her family support in Kenya. Inside she read a brief note of thanks, handwritten on the beautiful homemade card with a distinct African flair on the front. “I […]
Ping Pong, Popcorn and Pastors
“And the winners of the Mixed Doubles Table Tennis Tournament are Jackson and EJ!” A simple ping pong ball and paddle (here they call them “bats”), a handful of enthusiastic church folks, and a table – means fellowship, exercise, and breaking down cultural barriers. When I heard that the men’s department at our church was […]
Going There and Back Again
Going There… In July we passed our two year mark as missionaries in Kenya! What a milestone as we look back on all that we’ve become accustomed to and learned along the way. With college right around the corner for our oldest two, we traveled to the United States in June/July for college visit and […]
