Earl - I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church, but knew that I was lost and without Christ. I also knew that Baptists carried their Bibles to church, so I started attending Grace Baptist Church in Wilmington, NC. It wasn't long before I had a clear understanding of the Gospel. I placed my faith in the finish work of Jesus Christ July 31, 1985 at a Wednesday evening prayer meeting.

Lynn - Evangelist Ron Comfort was preaching at Grace Baptist Church in 1982. He spoke in the high school chapel that week, and dealt with the characteristics of someone who was on their way to hell. From the beginning of the service, I felt like he was talking to me. I prayed that the Lord would help me go to someone in the school to get it taken care of before it was too late. The Lord led me to one of the schools secretaries. That morning I asked the Lord to forgive my sins and to save me.

After marrying in August 1986 we served the Lord at Grace Baptist Church in Wilmington, NC. We were asked to take some kids to the Wilds, a Christian camp in North Carolina. During that week, the Lord used the preaching of Tom Farrel to call us into the ministry.

Ministry Highlights

Earl graduated from Bob Jones University's Missionary Aviation program and earned an A.S. & B.S. degree. He is a commercial/multi-engine pilot with an instrument rating, and has an airframe & powerplant license, as well as his Inspectors Authorization. Throughout schooling, we did summer missionary work for 4 to 10 weeks in remote areas of the far north. It was during these trips that God confirmed His calling in our lives to serve Him in remote areas of the north. Earl resigned his management position at a turbine engine repair/overhaul facility and raised their monthly support.

We arrived in Alaska in 2001. Since then our goal has been to promote a high view of God in our village and aviation ministries. The Lord has blessed us in many ways. We are excited to see what He has in store for our ministry in the interior of Alaska.
