Kevin and Krista Rideout both felt called to missions at a young age.  Kevin attended the Moody Bible Institute where he received a degree in Missionary Aviation.  After meeting in Alaska, Kevin and Krista returned to Alaska in 2002 with InterAct Ministries where they served as church planters in an Athabascan Indian village.  The Rideouts later joined Serving in Mission (SIM) in 2004 and serve in Niger, West Africa, with SIMAIR, the aviation arm of SIM. The main focus of the aviation ministry is to come alongside missionaries, enabling them to carry out their ministries more effectively and help speed the spread of the gospel.  Kevin and Krista have four children:  Kira (5), Brynn (4), Elayna (3), and Silas (1).
