Desiring to be an airline pilot, Ray Oostdyk received his flight training at Flight Safety International in Vero Beach, FL.  Soon after that, the Lord began to lead Ray into mission aviation.  He moved to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and began Bible training.  After meeting and marrying his wife Tammy in Chicago, they moved to Moody Aviation in Tennessee to complete his aviation training.  In July 2003, Ray joined the MFI staff as a DC-3 pilot/mechanic.  Tammy grew up on the mission field in Venezuela, and has a degree in Christian music.  Ray also has an informational website, at www.flyforhim.org.
