1973 - Present
Gary currently serves as Aviation Operations Manager, coordinating pilots, planes, and helicopters to serve the needs and movements of mission personnel and supplies. The purpose is to facilitate mission personnel placement and needs. Much like his former position at the mission store, Gary plans to develop the aviation staff (many of whom are nationals) spiritually through discipleship, and to develop the ministry in organization and effectiveness to the point of indigination. He is also heavily involved in local community church planting, discipleship and Bible Study. Gary’s daughter and son-in-law, Holly and Mark Woodard, are missionaries in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea.
Annie currently serves as the Receptionist/Secretary for our two-doctor mission medical clinic. The facility serves not only our missionaries, but also many local national people.
