Amos & Heidi grew up together as missionary kids in the Philippines, and graduated together in the class of 1999 from Faith Academy, in Manila. After high school, Heidi went home to Australia where she got her BA in languages and Amos pursued aviation in Washington State. Initially he was going to just pursue a career stateside, but early on in his flight training Amos felt a strong calling to use these skills he was learning towards something with more purpose. From that point on he continued his training with the goal to serve the Lord in missions. In 2004 Amos was accepted by PMA after he got his A&P and Commercial Multi-Engine Licenses. While he was serving in Yap, he got back in touch with Heidi who was teaching ESL in Indonesia. After a year and a half of getting "re-acquainted" via long distance, they got married in Washington in April of 2007. Together they moved back to Yap where Amos serves as a Pilot/Mechanic and Heidi teaches at the local school, as well as serving in the church.
