General Director
Jake Joseph
Jake has worked in the airline industry for the past 19 years in various positions for multiple airlines. He is a firm advocate of workplace ministry, and the positive impact believers have in the workplace. Jake believes his work is his mission field and his mission field is his work. He has been involved with FCAP since early 2013, and joined the FCAP Board of Directors in early 2020. And as mentioned above, he is now the General Director for FCAP.
Jake and his dear wife, Joana, have a beautiful daughter named Jenna. They love spending time together and serving the Lord as a family.
Jake considers his spiritual gifts to be teaching, communicating, and one-on-one mentoring, and has helped Paul with teaching the Workplace Seminars, among other leadership opportunities.
As part of his personal testimony, Jake relates, “Ultimately this is what I strive for: to be used by God; prepared and knowledgeable for the defense of Christianity; to be able to dialogue and discuss effectively in love; to be compassionate and attentive to the people around me, while being a true witness and an ambassador for Christ.” Jake is truly humbled and honored to continue serving the FCAP community around the world.
We thank God for how he is using and will continue to use Jake as a willing servant to carry out his wonderful plan and good works to bring glory to His name.

This has been a passion of his whether he was working as a Director at Chick-fil-A, a pastor, or an administrator for a counseling company.

James is excited to see how God will continue to work through the lives of airline people as a means of moving the Kingdom of God forward.

Administrative coordinator
Cathy Goza
Cathy has served in this role since 1980. Prior to coming on staff, she graduated from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro with a bachelor’s degree in Secretarial Administration and then worked for almost seven years as a Flight Attendant for Eastern Airlines. At the time, she had no idea how God planned to use her combined education and job as a flight attendant in the days to come. As the need arose in FCAP for a full-time secretary, God led Cathy to leave her job at Eastern and come on staff.
Over the years, Cathy has witnessed a lot of change and growth in the FCAP ministry. She can attest to God’s faithfulness through it all … faithfulness to answer prayer, faithfulness to provide for both the physical and financial resources needed to carry on the ministry, and faithfulness to change lives for His glory. Her heart’s desire and prayer is to see that continue in the days to come. Relationships she has gleaned while being a part of FCAP are cherished … to her, they are family. Cathy has one daughter and enjoys her additional role as a grandmother to three boys.

Edward and his wife, Patricia, were Flight Attendants for Eastern Air Lines. Following the closure of Eastern, he worked at InTouch Ministries in the correspondence counseling department.
Since 1997 he has served as our Fellowship Coordinator in FCAP. Edward’s desire is to see airline people and their families come to know Christ as Savior and their source for life. Edward and Pat see themselves as Divinely placed. They have two adult sons with wonderful daughters-in-law, and two sweet granddaughters. Their oldest son is a pilot with Allegiant Air. Their youngest son is in Freight Logistics.
