Mike Reynen collaborates with African leaders toward the expansion of the church and the formation of local churches. Church planting and ministerial education are high priorities. Mike and Vickie both encourage the missionary team in its work of strengthening and developing leaders. These days, Vickie works primarily for the FMWM office, assisting with onboarding new missionaries, but continues to be actively involved with Tumaini Women Kenya. The Reynens have three married children and six grandchildren.
