THE SHIELDS FAMILY
THIRD GENERATION MISSIONARIES TO MEXICO
MISSIONS BEYOND AVIATION

Ethan was raised on the mission field in Mexico evangelizing small villages, helping in the camps and schools there, and starting and building churches. From the time that he accepted Christ at age seven, he used his energy and mechanic skills to help in the ministry.
Beth was saved at age fifteen through the ministry of Maranatha Bible Church in Ohio. She went to Northland Baptist Bible College to pursue a degree in Elementary Education/Spanish and it was there that she met her future husband.
Over time and through prayer, we knew that God had made us for one another and we were married on May 20, 2006. Our beautiful daughter, Elena Grace, was born on September 18, 2007. Our sweet son, Noah Ethan made his debut on December 19, 2009. Since our marriage, Ethan has pastored a small Mexican church, received a Bible/Missions degree from Instituto Bautista Manantial in Mexico, and a bachelor’s degree from Indiana Fundamental Bible College. Most importantly, he has earned his pilot’s license and instrument rating. This is crucial, as flight will be a major aspect of our ministry. Now we have entered the next phase in our life: airplane construction and deputation. Please pray for us as we build this vital ministry tool. Pray also that churches would share our burden for the lost souls of the unreached people in the mountains of Mexico.
