Pastor Dave and Becky arrived from Canada in the region in 1997 and spent 16 years in Kuwait as an engineer and an international church pastor. They moved to UAE in 2013 and have been the pastor at AAEC since 2015. Their time in the Arabian Peninsula has given them a heart for the nations, a heart for the kingdom of God at work among the nations, and a passion to see the church fulfill its mission to the nations. 

Dave and Becky have four children and 8 grandchildren.
