Keith and Mandy Pieh began ministry the summer of ’98 as they moved to Fairbanks to work with Covenant Youth of Alaska (CYAK) in its ministry to Native college students at UAF. Along with doing college ministry, Keith continued working as a carpenter during their 6 years in Fairbanks, and Mandy as administrative assistant/bookkeeper for the statewide CYAK organization. In the spring of ’07, the Piehs responded to God’s call to serve at AEC, and moved to Soldotna. Keith now brings his experience in Native youth ministry and his giftedness in carpentry work to his position as AEC’s carpentry instructor. Mandy works part-time for AEC in donor relations.
They have four children: Emily (1999), Joshua (2002), Andrew (2005), and Rebekah (2009).
