Supporting Missionary Aviation Worldwide

The Merkling 3

In June of 2022, our family moved to Worthington Minnesota from Spokane Washington to serve short-term with Proclaim Aviation Ministries. After 4 months, we were asked to stay long-term for Zach to take on the role of Chief Pilot for the Worthington base. After much prayer and evaluation, we felt the Lord redirecting our path toward stateside ministry. We have been reminded of the importance of EVERY component that goes into making missionary aviation possible.

Our family is very excited to be a part of what God is doing here in the U.S. to equip missionary pilots before they launch into worldwide aviation ministry.

Our son, Theo, is wild about all things airplanes and loves any time he can get to the airport! When he isn't sitting still reading a book, he explores anywhere and anything he can keeping Mama very busy. Kayla is a SAHM passionate about photography and hospitality and is excited to come alongside Zach in various aspects of aviation ministry.
