Mike Reynen works with African leaders for 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. Vickie puts much of her energy into Tumaini Women Kenya, a discipleship-oriented micro-savings and loan ministry, and Thrive (also Kenya), a young women’s ministry discipling and advocating against gender-based violence and sex trafficking. She works part-time in the FMWM office, assisting with the onboarding of new missionaries.
