South East Asia: Zach Osterloo

Zach Osterloo serves as a missionary pilot in SouthEast Asia with Wycliffe Bible Translators. His job focuses on providing any needed aviation transportation for fellow Christian workers and missionaries who cannot otherwise reach indigenous tribes. These remote areas are receiving the Bible in their own languages for the first time. Zach also works to supply remote areas and workers with needed supplies, including medical supplies. In addition, he has recently been working on computer programming projects for Wycliffe.

Outside of Zach's flying time, he is also a flight instructor to people in SouthEast Asia who want to become pilots. He teaches his students with the hopes of their joining him in his work as a missionary pilot. He not only teaches them how to fly, but Zach also invests time into influencing his students spiritually and academically.

During his time at LeTourneau, Zach used his gift of piano playing to perform at various Trustee events. He also worked as a flight instructor after graduation, which is one of his most memorable times at LeTourneau.When asked how LeTourneau impacted his life, Zach claimed, "I wouldn't be able to serve in this capacity as a pilot in Christian ministry without the training I received at LeTourneau."
