Amos and Heidi met as 12 year old MKs in the Philippines. They were in the same class up through High School, where they graduated together from Faith Academy, Manila. Amos went back to the U.S. to pursue his A&P and flight training, and Heidi went back to her home country of Australia where she studied languages at college. They reconnected five years later over email, when Amos was already serving with PMA in Yap, and Heidi was teaching ESL in Indonesia. They got married in April 2007 in Washington, and left together for Micronesia four months later. They have been living in Yap ever since. Amos trained under Peter Reichert for 7 years and took over as Director of Aviation when Peter retired. Amos and Heidi were involved in the PMF Church's youth ministry for 6 years until it was turned over to a local leader. Their kids are Tommy, Raina, Honora and Theodore. Amos stays busy in his roles as pilot and mechanic, general fix-it man, shopper for the outer islands, and sometimes fill-in preacher. Heidi and her friend Queentina lead the Ladies' Bible Study for the PMF Church. They love living in Micronesia and feel blessed to be a part of what God is doing through PMA here.
