Oklahoma Academy

Hey friends!

My name is Micah. I’m a high school senior and am raising money for my aviation training at Oklahoma Academy.

I felt God’s call into missions in 2021, and since then have been pursuing mission aviation training at Oklahoma Academy. I will be launching this year as a student missionary in Alaska. I will be working as a Bible worker in Dillingham, Alaska, and using a small airplane to participate in evangelism in the surrounding villages. After Alaska, I plan to pursue some sort of training that will allow me to become a career missionary for the rest of my life. Around half of our world has yet to hear the good news of Jesus and I am eager to make a difference for Christ!

I’m working towards a budged of $800 a month to cover aviation training and my year of mission service in Alaska. This will cover everything from aviation fuel and insurance, to everyday living expenses in the mission field. Anything you can do to help me in my ministry will make a difference.

Make sure to check out my website too, so you can receive my monthly newsletter and follow along on my journey into mission service. https://skysupportmission.wixsite.com/missionpilot

Thank you so much for partnering with me to use aviation to reach the unreached!

Our daughter, Miriam, has joined the Mission Aviation Program (MAP) at Oklahoma Academy. Upon graduation, she will spend a year in the mission field (possibly in Peru), assisting with the needs of the people for transportation, while sharing the love of God with them.

Miriam explains in her own words:

"Until last year, I hadn’t seriously considered Oklahoma Academy, then when the Mission Track Director chose to send some of the MAP graduates to Alaska for their mission service to work from our area, I was inspired, and began to reconsider my options. At first, I didn’t want to go, but I could see that God was leading. Finally, I chose to go and joined the mission track as a MAP student. Since then, I have learned a lot, both about aviation and about God. I’ve grown closer to him, and I look forward to sharing with you the exciting journey he is leading me on."

To launch Miriam on her journey, she needs $7500 raised by August 17, so a little over a month.
