Brian & Terah Lites
Brian and Terah both grew up in California and were married in 1993. They have three adult “kids”- Evan, Luke, and Sierra. The boys are living and working in Colorado and Sierra is still home with them for the time being.
Ministry has been a passion of theirs from the start. Youth ministry is where it all started, but after Brian took two years to attend Simpson Bible College for an AA in Biblical Studies, they entered the Christian camping ministry for the next seven years. It was in 2003 when they felt God calling them in an entirely different direction- Mission Aviation. They left their life in California in 2005 to head east to Ohio where Brian received his training as an Airframe & Powerplant mechanic at Missionary Maintenance Services Aviation. After receiving his certificate, they moved to Florida and began service with Missionary Flights International where they served for ten years. It is there that they met Dwayne King when he called one day to inquire about the purchase of a DC-3. As their relationship with Dwayne and Kingdom Air Corps grew, it became clear this was the next leap of faith God was asking them to take.
They joined the KAC staff in the summer of 2018. Brian is the Director of Aircraft Maintenance and enjoys opportunities for evangelism and discipleship when they arise. Terah is the Administrative Assistant for KAC and directly assists Dwayne in his day-to-day responsibilities as Director. They live in Palmer and don’t mind, at all, the breathtakingly scenic, 35-minute drive to work each day.
