Mike Reynen works with African leaders toward the expansion of the church and the formation of local churches. Church planting and ministerial education are vital. Mike and Vickie both encourage the missionary team in its work of strengthening and developing national leaders. These days, Vickie works primarily for the FMWM office, assisting with onboarding new missionaries, but continues active involvement with Tumaini Women Kenya (TWK). The Reynens have three adult children, who are all married, and six grandchildren.

- continued expansion within the nine countries in West Africa where the FMC is engaged
- the spiritual deepening and enriching of the church life for every FM church in Africa
- the continued development of the Africa missionary team, praying for more workers to join the team
- the Lord’s guidance and strength in the Reynens’ travels throughout Africa
