Grace Spelde, Managing Director
Wings of Mercy

For patients who can’t travel commercially, Wings of Mercy is a unique, nonprofit organization providing free air transportation to distant medical centers.  Peter VandenBosch founded Wings of Mercy in 1991, and since then, we’ve flown over 8,000 missions.
 

Grace Spelde (spel-dee), Managing Director of Wings of Mercy.  Grace has been with the organization for 13 years.  Grace says "I am a transplanted Texan; my children grew up in West Michigan, and now my grandchildren are here so I guess I am staying.  I am not a pilot, but I know some really good ones😊.  I came to know about Wings of Mercy through my husband. He worked for a company with a C414 that was used for Wings missions.  I love being a part of the organization because it allows me to put my Christian Faith into action."
