Missionaries
Dwayne Harris is a helicopter and fixed-wing pilot and mechanic from Montana. He pioneered the PAMAS ministry when he stepped out in faith in February 2007 and shipped a donated Helicopter to the Philippines. God has provided each month with miracles as the ministry has grown and expanded. He met Wendy Guptill (now Harris), missionary nurse in Palawan, Philippines and they joined their lives and ministries in April 2008. Dwayne and Wendy oversee all the areas of PAMAS as they work to establish airbases throughout the country.
Sean and Pris Knapp also come from the U.S. Sean is a pilot from Washington and Pris is a trained medical missionary originally from Bataan, Philippines. They joined PAMAS in January 2013 and then God blessed them with two beautiful children, Seth and Summer! They direct the Palawan project which includes overseeing 15 plus missionaries with their families, several church plants, two small mountain schools, as well as a very busy aviation program.
Daniel Lui is a helicopter and fixed-wing pilot who has been serving in Palawan since April 2015. He is also a mechanic and his many practical skills are a big asset to the mission field. His commitment to service and his love for God is evident in all he does. He comes from northern California. Prima Liboon (now Lui), a Filipina missionary doctor joined Daniel in the ministry after they married in October 2020.
Ray and Phoebe Sikich and their boy, Skyler are from the U.S. They are the directors for the North Luzon project (their first term of service started in 2017). Ray is a pilot, mechanic, and builder. Phoebe is a nurse. Their energy and joy in service are contagious and they are a great blessing for the ministry as they handle the work in the north.
Davin and Irene Bennett, originally from Jamaica and Cavite (Philippines), joined the Luzon team in 2020. Davin is a pilot and Irene is a music teacher. They are both trained medical missionaries as well. God is using them with their skills and dedication to help reach those most in need of physical and spiritual help through the medical-aviation work.
Ronald Yombi, a pilot serving with the Palawan team since 2020, comes from Papua New Guinea. He grew up near other aviation ministries and was inspired in life by other missionary pilots. God helped him reach his dream to become a missionary pilot and he has dedicated his life to serve Him with his talents!
