Luce continues to serve as a member of the Asas Board of Directors, and has also been asked to add the responsibility of coordinating mission activities in Boa Vista. Soon, there will be five families in the flight service, maintenance and training.

Tim shares that Isaiah 49:11-13 are special verses to him. “They speak of God raising up highways and turning mountains into roads (overcoming barriers) to reach his ‘afflicted ones.’”

For Luce, Luke 18:29-30, keeps things in perspective. “I tell you the truth,’ Jesus said to them, ‘no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents of children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life.’”

Tim was raised in Papua New Guinea, where his father served as a missionary pilot. His family influence, and contact with the Navigators helped draw Tim to a decision to commit his life to the Lord. As he continued to grow spiritually, the Lord confirmed his call to mission aviation and, after earning the needed Bible and aviation training, Tim was accepted by MAF in 1986.

Luce is from Midwestern Brazil. She was also influenced by family, and came to know the Lord as her personal Savior at the age of 19. Luce earned a BA degree in nursing and continued on for two years of Bible training. She was then invited to work with Asas de Socorro, coordinating medical, dental and evangelistic clinics. It was here that Tim and Luce met and were married in 1991.

To fund the worldwide ministry of MAF, God is faithful in providing loyal, generous ministry support from His most caring people. He has called the men and women of MAF to serve Him in a unique way. He is also calling people like you around the world to play a special role in the ministry of MAF.

You are invited to become a ministry partner with Tim and Luce in this strategic ministry. Please prayerfully consider involvement with them through prayer and/or financial support.
