Jeff Lundeen Brief Biography

I was raised in a Christian home and was baptized at around the age of eight. My father was a deacon in my childhood church and he and my mother instilled in me a love for God and and the desire to serve others. I have been blessed with a good Christian wife, Sunhi, and we have been married for 46 years. Our children have carried on the faith. Our daughter, Kristina, is with Athletes in Action and our son, Erik, is a pastor.

I believe a Christian out of a grateful heart for the gift he has received should serve others and their local church. As a member of Calvary Bible Church, I am involved in a variety of ways; small group Bible study, member of the Finance Committee, mentor to the Community of Parents class, New Commandment ministries, volunteer at Fair Market Thrift Store, and worked two summers on the church remodel.


New Missionaries - Plitt

New Missionaries - Plitt

Ben and Mercedes grew up hearing stories about missionaries overseas. They loved hearing how God accomplished the impossible! “Previously unreached people groups were reading and hearing God’s word in their own language and churches were being built in the most remote places.” In each of these stories, God’s word changed the hearts and lives of people having ears to hear. Now, they desire to be part of that story carrying God’s word beyond the end of the road!

Four years ago, Ben and Mercedes felt led into the field of missionary aviation. However, the unreached are unreached because they are not easy to reach. Airplanes play a strategic role in carrying the Gospel to remote regions and there’s a big need for qualified airplane mechanics and pilots right now.

Ben & Mercedes began this journey trusting that God would show them the way and he did. God led them to MMS Aviation’s Pilot/Mechanic Apprenticeship program in Coshocton, Ohio. Ben will serve as a missionary aircraft mechanic for thirty-months with MMS before serving as a pilot for two years with Missionary Air Group. After that time, they’ll be more experienced, qualified and certified to fix and fly aircraft in support of expanding God’s kingdom through the Great Commissions in remote hard to reach areas of the world.
