As a pilot and mechanic, Sean has a unique opportunity to touch both the physical and spiritual needs of the people.  "I get great satisfaction out of knowing that God can use my technical skills to bring the hope of Christ to hurting people."

Rebecca enjoys her role at home as she cares for their three young girls and develops relationships with nationals.  “From the lady at the fruit stand to the neighborhood kids who come over to play, I have many opportunities to share the love of Christ in my day-to-day life.”

With a new assignment to Indonesia, the Cannons are looking forward to yet another opportunity to come alongside the poor, the sick, and the lost to share the love of Christ with them.  
Sean was born and raised in Monte Vista, CO.  While attending a church youth group in junior high, he recognized his need for Christ and accepted Jesus as His Lord and Savior. During his teen years, he began to feel called to full-time ministry. It was on a visit to an MAF program in Ecuador during college that Sean first felt the call to mission aviation.  Sean holds an Associate of Science in Aviation Maintenance Technology from Eastern New Mexico University, in addition to a Commercial Pilot Certificate and a Certified Flight Instructor Certificate with Instrument endorsement and an A&P mechanics license.

Rebecca also grew up in Monte Vista, CO, in a loving, Christian home and accepted Christ as her savior at a young age.  As a young girl, Rebecca dreamed of being a missionary, and went on several short-term mission trips during her high school years. The Lord used these experiences to further solidify her desire to serve in foreign missions.  Rebecca holds a Bachelor of General Studies from Fort Hays State University.  Sean and Rebecca met in their high school youth group and were married in 2000, with a common goal of preparing for, and then joining MAF.

God calls the men and women of MAF to serve Him in unique ways.  He may also be calling you to a special role in the  Cannons’ ministry.  Please prayerfully consider becoming a Ministry Partner with Sean and Rebecca through prayer and/or financial support.
