About Us	The Aprile Family
Always having a heart to serve others in Christ, the Apriles founded The Utmost Way Magazine, back in July 1998, to begin such an endeavor. As time went by, many people wrote to us asking to have their ministry published in or linked to the pages of our magazine. Seeing a bigger need for support of such ministries, the Apriles were led to provide a special area where these ministries could get the treatment they need and deserve. This became the ministry called Utmost Ministries.

Michael is the editor of The Utmost Way Magazine and father of the six Aprile children. He is an author of two books and has been published in Christian homeschool magazines. He has a passion for helping other ministries. Kathy is Michael's wife and a mother to the six Aprile children. She has recently loved writing a column for Mothers. This column gathers sage advice from older, more seasoned Christian women to be read by younger Christian women as per the scriptural admonition. Amy has a ministry called Handmaid of the Lord dedicated to sewing modest clothing at cost for mothers and daughters to encourage modest dress between them. Amy sews beautiful clothing at cost and asks that if the people feel led that they donate to her ministry accordingly. Aaron is good at almost everthing he does. He is an accomplished church pianist and organist. He is also the technical genius behind the family Website design and development enterprise called Utmost Designs. This is a father and son effort and does pretty well. Elizabeth has a great talent in drawing and has published a 40-page coloring book based on the first two books of the Elsie Dinsmore book series by Martha Finley. Benjamin has a real zest for life and a new-found love for fishing. We hope that he will allow the Holy Spirit to make him "a fisher of men." Megan has the gift of prophecy and will promptly let you know if you need to know something. Matthew is a very sweet boy who is soaking up what he sees from all his brothers and sisters.
