Alec S. Kindred == == Alec S. Kindred was born and raised in southern Maine his entire life. At an early age He became the son of a Pastor in the North Baldwin region. Growing up Alec was infatuated with playing baseball and actually had aspirations of following a baseball career. At 16 years old, Alec witnessed a catastrophic event on the baseball diamond where a ball was hit and line drives the pitcher in the forehead. That was the turning point in Alec's life. Shortly there after, losing the state championship game, Alec would drop the baseball for the last time.

A few weeks later a Pastor friend of his Father's invited Alec to go on an airplane ride to a small island off the coast of Maine called Islesboro. It was on this day where Alec was introduced to mission aviation. A small church was started out of that flight to the island. The Pastor of twelve years still remains there. That next Monday, Alec started flight training, and progressively began working towards his private pilot license. Alec felt the Lord calling him into mission aviation ministry. His future mother-in-law came up with the name "Propelling the Gospel" and Alec grew into his calling as he prayed daily for the Lord's provisions. Around this time frame He met who is now His wife, Brianna Townsend. All through high school and college Alec and Brianna did everything together. In 2011 Alec went off to Nashua, New Hampshire to attend Nashua Community College for the 21-month aviation maintenance program while Brianna attended Saint Joseph's college for a four year bachelor's of science- Nursing program. In 2013 Alec began his first professional job as an aircraft maintenance technician with Northeast Air at the Portland International Jetport (PWM). Fourteen days after Brianna's graduation Alec and Brianna got married in the city of Portland at the Central Square Baptist Church. Ten months later their first child, Bennett Woodbury Kindred was born. Immediately preceding this events, Alec would finish his private pilot rating through Portland Flight Services based at the Portland International Jetport. At the end of 2014 Brianna became a Maine registered nurse and immediately jumped into serving the Maine community by working at a local hospital and then transitioning to family practice in the Yarmouth area. In 2016 Alec and Brianna would leave their family home church in North Baldwin and begin attending the West Buxton Baptist Church in Buxton, Maine where the family remains faithfully. Around this time Alec, Brianna and Bennett took a short term missions trip to Kingdom Air Corpse in Sutton, Alaska to see if the Lord was calling them there. While at the King Ranch Brianna broke the news to Alec from 3000ft above King Mountain that they were expecting another child. Asher Silas Kindred was born in the spring of 2018. In 2017 Alec Kindred founded the Maine based aviation ministry, Propelling the Gospel Missions with five board members that served at the West Buxton Baptist Church. Propelling the Gospel Missions grew quickly and began supporting small churches, running aviation youth camps, conducting outreach flights to rural areas, and providing pulpit supply for churches in New England. Alec began receiving many calls for opportunities to preach, serve and even pray at large events like the Foxwoods 301 NASCAR race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2020. Alec knew in 2010 that He was being called by God to preach the Word to some extent. In 2018 Alec began taking the online Bachelor's of Theology program through the South African Theological Seminary, after finishing a certificate Bible program at Liberty University. Alec graduates in 2021 and is willing to serve the Lord wherever He leads. Alec has a deep conviction and burden for new Bible preaching churches to be started on the Island's of Maine, where about of 300 plus Island's, only a few have a solid Bible preaching church. Alec continued his job at NEA where he later became the Assistant Director of Maintenance/ Business Development in 2020.
