Supporting the Kelley Family

As many of you know, my brother Shane graduated from The Expositors Seminary in 2019 and has spent the past several years faithfully serving in pastoral ministry and school administration. Since he was 12 years old, Shane has had a deep passion for aviation, and he now feels the Lord leading him to pursue that calling more fully.

This June, Shane, Lauren, and their three children will be relocating to Michigan, where Shane will begin training at the School of Missionary Aviation Technology. In his first year, he’ll work toward obtaining his Aircraft Mechanic (A&P) license, followed by a second year of flight training.

Shane has a strong desire to serve in missionary aviation, and they are prayerfully trusting the Lord with the timing and direction of their future ministry.

The financial need for this two-year program is significant. The cost of the first year of training is $32,000, with flight training in the second year totaling $70,000. Additionally, the move across the country is expected to cost around $9,000.

While Shane is in school full-time and working part-time, Lauren will be stepping into a full-time job to help support their family during this journey.

Any amount of support would mean so much to them—and to all of us—as they take this leap of faith and enter this exciting new season. Your prayers, encouragement, and generosity are deeply appreciated!
