DANIEL & KACY BRISTOL
Daniel and Kacy Bristol, along with their daughter Veda, are excited to serve the Lord as missionaries through Mission Aviation Fellowship in Indonesia. Daniel’s role as a pilot/mechanic will be to provide flights to remote areas to support missionaries and ministry —a task that can save days of travel. He will also fly community development supplies including Bibles, building materials, schoolbooks, and other essential cargo. Whether it is a medical evacuation flight or a supplies transfer, Daniel will use these opportunities to share Christ’s love with the isolated people he will encounter. Kacy will be focusing on creating a warm and inviting home not only for their family, but also for other missionary families and local women in their community.
