Bio
Continue reading...Kevin was born in Lemoore, CA. His family served with MAF in Irian Jaya (now Papua), Indonesia, from his young age six until he was nineteen. His parents led him to Christ at the age of six. “I understood that I could not spend eternity with Jesus without accepting Him as my Savior.” His parents continued to teach and help him grow spiritually, but his real spiritual growth began while he was a helicopter pilot in the Navy. “I began to pray and ask what HE wanted me to do with my life and skills. I asked God to make my life and efforts count for eternity.” Though Kevin grew up surrounded by missionaries while living overseas, it wasn’t until at a mission’s conference while in the Navy that the Lord called Him to go and serve. “I realized He was calling me, personally, to become involved and to go as a missionary.” Kevin attended the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, where he received his B.S. in Political Science. He has served as a Navy Search and Rescue helicopter pilot and Rotary Wing Flight Instructor. He received his Biblical and maintenance training at LeTourneau University in Longview, TX. And he has several licenses including his Commercial Pilot License, ASEL, MEL, and his A&P mechanics license as well. I Corinthians 15:58 is Kevin’s favorite verse: “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” This verse is meaningful to Kevin because the work will not be in vain. It speaks of giving all our attention and effort to the work He has given to us - the work of reaching a lost world to tell them He loves them. To fund the worldwide ministry of MAF, God is faithful in providing generous ministry support from His 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 to play a special role in the ministry of MAF around the world. You are invited to partner with Kevin in this strategic ministry. Please prayerfully consider involvement with him through prayer and/or financial support. Collapse Bio Section |
Where I ServePapua, Indonesia

Kevin
Lynne is a missionary pilot/mechanic serving with Mission Aviation
Fellowship in Indonesia. He has been using his skills as a pilot in
Papua to serve other missionaries, the national church and the medical
needs of people where access to the Gospel is still difficult. Kevin
considers it a privilege to be a part of the evangelistic thrust in
Indonesia. “As a Christian, I sense a unique duty/calling to share my
Hope in Jesus I have with the lost. I want to use my skills and my life
to build God’s Kingdom.” Kevin recalls God using Matthew 28:19-20 in his heart, preparing him for this ministry. “Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything
I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end
of the age.”
