Meet Our Missionaries

Archie and Mandy met at Abilene Chrisitan University, where Archie participated in missions internships to West Africa. After they married, they moved to Burkina Faso to serve as church planters in the region. They have two children, Emma and Jack, who are both enrolled in university. 

Ministry Work

As the director of Formation in Pioneer Bible Translators, Archie coordinates a team of coaches who walk with new missionaries to prepare them for the journey to come. Archie helps them think through life on the field and how to prepare spiritually for the adventures that await them as new missionaries. He leverages his experiences from the years of field service to decrease preventable attrition and promote healthy living among the Bibleless people they will serve.

Prayer Requests

• God please bring another full-time formation coach to help prepare those going to the Mission field.
•  Praise God for the steady growth of Pioneer Bible Translators.
•  Praise God for his provision and grace for the organization and for their families.
