Bruce and Irene McAtee AMG International Phone: (30210) 483 4214 Website: fotisr@amginternational.org Address: AMG International Aigas 66 Koropi, Greece 19400 Birthday: Bruce: December 21 Irene: February 16 Grace: October 2 Emily: August 28 Mission Focus With AMG, I have the privilege of serving in several areas that support both the local church and our outreach ministries. I help with weekly operations and take part in events for refugee groups at our downtown ministry center. I also serve at our annual teen camps and help lead our weekly Cosmo Vision service on Sunday evenings. Throughout the year, I’m involved in special gatherings like men’s ministry events, and I also take responsibility for the practical side of ministry through facility maintenance, repairs, and new development. Each part of this work allows me to use my gifts to serve others and help the ministry grow. Testimony Bruce's Testimony I was raised in a Christian home and attended Hope Church in St. Louis, Missouri. At the young age of 6 I accepted Christ as my Savior ( Jim and Jerry Harding were a great influence). I continued to grow in my faith through the example of my parents and the ministry of the church. At age 15 I made a commitment to serve the Lord and felt at that time it was a call to missions. I entered college with the intent of pursuing missions. I was involved in numerous ministry and leadership positions throughout my college years serving as a Dorm Chaplin at the college, as well as being in leadership with the Baptist Student Union, serving with various C.C.C. outreaches. The experiences and friendships in college continued to deepen my faith. After college I went to Eastern Europe for a summer with C.C.C. and then did a one-year Discipleship school (Doulos) in Branson working with youth. Immediately after Doulos I began serving as the Youth Pastor at Grace Community Chapel and from there was commissioned for service in Greece in October of 1987. I have been serving ever since in youth ministry, evangelism, discipleship, refugee ministry, leadership, and many practical jobs. Irene's Testimony I grew up in a Christian home with loving parents and my father was the pastor of the Greek Evangelical Free church in Sydney Australia and still is currently. At the age of 8 I believed in Christ as my Savior at a VBS, but it wasn’t until I was 14 and attended a Billy Graham crusade that I made a public commitment. I was active in my church and youth group and taught Sunday school for 10 years. I began working at age 18 in the financial sector and worked in that area until age 34. I had five different jobs, one with Australian Airlines, and my workplace was my mission field. I also did Bible courses at a Bible college during this time, was part of Bible Study Fellowship for 4 years and I always enjoyed my personal reading time in the word. In 2000 I met Bruce and was ushered into the world of missions. I did my first short-term mission trip to Egypt and Greece in 2001 with Hellenic Ministries and have been serving ever since that time in a support role.

December Goal: Reflect on this year’s 11 challenges and design a personal goal for December. Overview: As we close out the year, take time to reflect on the journey so far: What challenge grew you the most? What stretched you or pushed you out of your comfort zone? Why was it so hard, and what did you learn? Using your reflections, create a goal for December that builds on what God has already started in your life this year. Make it something meaningful, achievable, and uniquely tailored to your own growth. Examples of Personal Goals: Commit to praying daily for someone in your life. Dedicate time each week to serve your community or someone in need. Focus on deepening your understanding of a specific Scripture passage or theme. Revisit a past challenge and try it again with renewed energy. Write your goal down and pray over it. Consider sharing it with a friend or family member who can encourage and support you as you finish the year strong, keeping your eyes on Jesus. "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14

Paul and Angie Kimball Proclaim Aviation/School of Missionary Aviation Technology Phone: 507-376-9480 Links: info@proclaimaviation.org proclaimaviation.org smat.edu Proclaim Aviation P.O. Box 356 Worthington, MN 56187 Birthday: Paul: June 18 Angie: August 31 John: May 19 Ellie: June 24 Mission Focus Our mission is to be a part of reaching the nations with the gospel of Christ by training the next generation of mission aviators. As full-time missionaries with Proclaim Aviation assigned to SMAT in Ionia, Michigan, we get to be a part of equipping families to share the love of Jesus in remote areas of the world where aviation provides access to medical care, transportation, and the gospel. One of the biggest blessings is getting to know the students and their families, encouraging them in their technical training, but also seeking to mentor and support them personally and spiritually during their time here. We regularly invite students over to our home for dinner and fellowship, and Angie also gets to know the women students and student wives in her role helping to lead a bimonthly women's Bible study. Paul served as a flight instructor, teaching ground school and giving instruction in the airplane, from June 2018-December 2021. In January 2022, he was asked to temporarily fill in as SMAT's maintenance manager, after our Director of Maintenance left unexpectedly. Paul continued to oversee SMAT graduates who had been hired as mechanics to maintain our eight flight training aircraft as well as customer aircraft. This time in the hangar provides valuable experience for SMAT graduates as they prepare to serve a mission organization as a mechanics. In August of 2024, Paul was able to move back to flight instruction. Testimony Paul's Testimony I grew up in Sierra Leone, West Africa, where my parents ministered among the Loko people and completed a New Testament translation for them. Having been raised in a Christian home, I heard the Gospel and watched it being lived out in my parents’ lives from the time of my earliest memories. I cannot pinpoint the specific time I came to saving faith in Christ, but I do remember clearly understanding my need for a personal relationship with the Lord and for forgiveness of sin, when I was nine, one evening after family devotions in Sierra Leone. At 12 years old, at a missions conference in Illinois, I committed to serve the Lord wherever and in whatever way He led. In my senior year of high school I learned about the need for aviation in missions. The Lord provided in a wonderful way and allowed me to attend Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and graduate as a pilot and aircraft mechanic from Moody’s aviation program, then located in eastern Tennessee. During my time in Tennessee the Lord brought Angie and I together. Loving and serving the Lord together with her has been the greatest joy of my life. Angie's Testimony I grew up in a small town in Iowa with wonderful parents and one older sister. We were active in church, and I remember asking Jesus into my heart around age 10. I didn’t tell anyone, but read my Bible more and tried very hard to be good. In college, God used some foolish choices and a Christian roommate to show me that I was trying to follow God with one foot and keep my other foot in the world. He opened my eyes to my sin and need for forgiveness, and the grace He offered, not because of what I’d done, but because of what Christ had done for me. It was a turning point in my life, and it’s amazing to see that I have yet to stop learning more about the depths of His mercy and love. That next year, I began looking into teaching overseas (I was getting my elementary education degree). When I met Paul and found out he was studying to become a missionary pilot, I was fascinated – with the man and with missions! – and worked to find out more about what he was wanting to do. It was easy for me to join him in pursuing missions as our life work, and it has been a privilege to use the gifts and interests He’s given us to help people know the truth of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

Amy Scott TeachBeyond: Sparrow Project Phone: 800 436 4488 Links: Website: Sparrow Project Email: Amy Scott Birthday: September 4th Mission Focus I work with an arm of the missions organization TeachBeyond. The byline of TeachBeyond is “Reaching the Nations Through Education”. The division of TeachBeyond that I work with is called the Sparrow Project. The Sparrow Project was started in 2021 when one of the TeachBeyond leaders was walking through the slums of the city of Lusaka, Zambia and noticed that there were schools popping up everywhere - in churches, in abandoned buildings, in garages, in chicken coops – and that the teachers had no training and very few materials. Out of this need grew a vision to help empower the teachers, especially Christian teachers, to reach their communities for Christ through Biblical-centered teaching. Thus began the Sparrow Project, whose primary goal is to provide training for teachers in under-resourced schools. Since 2021, the Sparrow Project has grown quickly! We now have a presence in 13 countries, including two creative-access nations. As associate director of the Sparrow Project, I work with other staff members as we develop curriculum, provide resources, empower our national leaders, and respond to requests for training from schools around the world. I also specifically work to encourage and mentor the leaders in Latin America and the French-speaking countries of West Africa. Testimony I grew up in a Christian family. I had a firsthand introduction to missions at a very early age, as my dad, who was a pastor, helped to start a Haitian church in south Florida. When I was seven years old, my parents left me in the care of a church family, while they went out of town to lead a mission trip. It was through a conversation with the mom of this family that I realized for the first time that the Gospel that I had heard for as long as I could remember was for me – that Jesus had died to save me from my sins and that I stood in need of a Savior. I acknowledged my sins to God and asked Him to forgive me and make me His child. Through the years, the Lord has shown me again and again that He is faithful. It is His faithfulness that continues to draw me to Him each day. When I was about ten years old, I began to feel a strong draw to foreign missions. After college, I taught in a Christian school in the U.S., but foreign missions continued to draw me. I was privileged to serve overseas for three years, in Russia and France. I returned to the U.S. with the purpose of attending seminary so that I could be more effective in missions. During my time in the U.S., three things happened: I finished seminary, the mission I had worked for was closed by the government, and I met the man who is now my husband! Terry and I were married in 2004. We have been blessed with our three children; Erin, Jesse, and Adam, and I have been able to remain involved in Christian education and part-time missions work. As my children have gotten older, I felt that God was leading me to be more involved in foreign missions, and He opened the door for me to begin serving with TeachBeyond in January of 2025. All praise be to Him! Previous Emily Rezek International Field Worker Trainers Next Reach Ayutthaya SIM (Serving in Missions)
