Our Ministry
We are missionaries with Africa Inland Mission (AIM), a church planting mission organization with over 100 years of history in Africa. Specifically, we work with two different departments in AIM's service ministries: AIM AIR, and On-Field Media.

AIM AIR
is the aviation branch of Africa Inland Mission. For more than a decade, we have had the privilege to be part of a team of missionary families serving other missionaries and Christian workers throughout East and Central Africa. AIM AIR operates a fleet of 12 aircraft, mainly based in Nairobi Kenya, to meet the needs of people working in some of the region's most remote locations. We use airplanes to get missionaries to and from their places of calling, and to move the stuff of missions and ministry that they need. The people we serve and sustain are Bible translators, doctors and nurses, church planters, evangelists, agriculturalists, engineers, teachers & more... people applying their skills and hearts to the growing of God's kingdom in Africa.



Mike serves as a pilot and administrator for AIM AIR. He mostly flies in a Cessna Grand Caravan, throughout Kenya and into neighboring countries such as Congo and Sudan. He also spends some nights away from home each month at remote locations with the airplane. One of the hallmarks of AIM AIR's ministry is keeping a plane and pilot with a missionary who needs a few days at a particular location. On "safari flights" like these, Mike sometimes gets to serve in other ways like fixing a truck or assisting with surgery, and, the most privileged role of all, encouraging another missionary in a difficult or isolated place.

Renee plays the part of encourager as well, exercising her gift of hospitality to missionaries passing through Nairobi, and supporting Mike amidst an unpredictable, and stressful schedule. But Renee's main role in ministry is perhaps more impacting (even if less glamorous) than Mike's. She serves in the most important place on earth – our home: schooling Amelia and Zach and shaping a home that honors and glorifies God.

On-Field Media
(OFM) is a relatively new ministry in AIM. The OFM team is a small group of missionaries who are tasked with telling the stories of a mission organization that encompasses 21 countries and over 800 missionaries. The goal is simple: to declare God's glory by capturing and communicating the stories of what God is doing in Africa. Through writing, video production, photography, web, and other creative arts, the team serves AIM's international mobilizing offices with fresh media content from the field while helping fellow missionaries communicate their ministries to home churches.



Mike helped establish the media ministry for AIM, and now serves part time writing and contributing with photography and video production.
