We’re absolutely thrilled to have the Davis family join us on Mindanao and we are hard at work keeping up with our normal flight program responsibilities as well as training Joel and Missy to take over so we can go on home assignment. When we return, we will work together with the Davises to keep the flight program running safely and smoothly.
Brian and Joel went to school together at Moody Aviation starting back in 1998 in Chicago and then again in Tennessee. We met up with them again in our training in Missouri and in Arizona and are now partners working together in the Philippines. It is really fun to have such dear friends that we call our “family” here to work with.
We have really enjoyed our time on Mindanao, but have been lacking relationships with anyone in our same stage of life. It can be lonely at times so it has been incredibly refreshing to have the Davises here. They have two daughters – one of them the same age as Maycie. What a gift they are!
Please pray for us as we enter into a new dynamic in our relationship and will have to work through the dynamics of becoming teammates in a high-stress environment. Pray that we will remain humble, have the strength to keep short accounts and have forgiving hearts so that Satan will not gain a foothold in our ministries together, but that God will use us mightily to encourage and support those missionaries and Bible translators that we serve here.
