Ministering to the people of the Sierra Madre
Our Mission
Our mission is to strengthen, continue, and grow the evangelistic efforts to the people of the Sierra Madre. We aim to proclaim the kingship of Jesus Christ through everyday evangelism, through the translation of Scriptures, Psalms, and hymns, by providing means of employment and productive work to our neighbors, by assisting in the planting of churches, and in serving the area with a small aircraft.
Our Family
My wife and I both come from large families. She grew up in Mexico on the mission field and I grew up in South Dakota. Before mission work in Mexico, I was a commercial pilot for a FedEx subsidiary. Hannah and I both spent our lives in solid Christian homes, and the Lord was pleased to unite us in marriage in April of 2024. Priscilla arrived in March of 2025.
Since then, we have responded to God’s call on our own household to continue the work that Hannah’s father began 20 years ago. We have moved our small clan to Mexico and have begun learning the ropes of how our particular household will contribute to the ministry and expand upon it.
Singing
My wife and I greatly enjoy singing Psalms and hymns to the traditional style—the style designed for congregational singing that has existed for millennia. Unfortunately, Spanish hymn resources are poor at best, and Psalms are almost nonexistent. The Tarahumara people have even fewer. It is our hope that we can help with this problem for both people groups over the course of our lifetimes.
Aviation
A significant amount of time missionaries have in this area is invested in traveling from one community to another, teaching the Bible in multiple locations during the week, getting supplies, and meeting with political allies to build relationships and make things happen.
As a professional pilot, it is my goal to integrate an aircraft into our family’s ministry. This will allow us to serve the community by providing medical evacuation flights and transportation solutions for missionaries.
Our Partners
Mexico Medical Mission is a Houston-based non profit which operates a hospital a short 15-minute drive down the road from our farm. They provide us local accountability, language learning resources, financial processing, and X-rays when the invariable farm incident occurs. They have been an invaluable help to us, and we are grateful for them.
As we consider and prepare to integrate an aircraft into our operations, Mission Safety International has been providing us advice with our organizational structure and future aircraft operations. These experienced folks are helping us prepare for the future and thereby stay alive on the mission field—an extremely demanding area in the field of aviation.
Hannah and I are members of Christ the King Presbyterian Church in El Paso. We are directly accountable to them for how we are conducting ourselves in the ministry, what we spend our time on, and the quality of work that we do. From the elders to the deacons to the rest of the congregation, this church has made our work possible in many ways. They are like family to us, and we love them dearly.
