Ministry Information


We are excited for the opportunity God has given us to serve in Rwanda! Francis is teaching elementary physical education and helping to direct the elementary athletics at Kigali International Community School (KICS). Audrey's primary role is to care for children, Chloe and Caleb. She also enjoys opportunities to interact with other women and children in our community.

KICS is a Christian school that was founded to serve missionary families in the area. Over time the school has grown and now serves families of expatriates from over 20 countries, as well as many Rwandan families. We are thrilled to serve the missionary community in Rwanda by helping to provide quality education for their children, and enjoy interacting with students from all over the world who may not know Christ. Our mission is to openly share the good news of the gospel through our words and actions with students, families, and those in the community in which we live. Our vision is that the lives of those we interact with will be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit, and that they in turn will share the gospel with their families, communities, and home countries. We are incredibly grateful that God has allowed us to be part of this ministry and look forward to seeing how he will work. 

KICS staff are considered missionary educators. We are serving with B2THEWORLD (https://b2theworld.com/) and are also associate missionaries with Brethren in Christ World Missions (https://bicus.org/missions/).

An April Lament

An April Lament                 We awoke to a world of silence today. Even in quarantine the neighborhood is usually filled with the sounds of children playing in their compounds. Not this morning. There is an eerie stillness and it feels as though a dark shadow hangs over the hills. Today marks the beginning of the 26 th  Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Over a million lives were lost in the span of only 100 days. Today, and for the next 100 days, friends, neighbors, and coworkers will grieve the loss of loved ones. And so, we grieve. The first week of commemoration falls on Holy Week this year.  As if the sadness of remembering the lives lost by unimaginable atrocities isn’t enough, this year it is compounded by the remembrance of our Lord going to the cross. We remember the pain of betrayal, the deep sorrow of Gethsemane, and finally the ultimate sorrow of t...

Step Into My Kitchen

Step Into My Kitchen Living in a modern city, sometimes I almost find myself forgetting that I am in a foreign country. Almost. And then it’s time to meal prep and I am brought back to reality.  If there is anywhere I feel cultural stress, it’s in my kitchen. I have never felt very confident in cooking, so I guess it’s no surprise that this is an area which brings added challenges living overseas. Let me be clear. Rwanda is a rapidly developing nation with a modern capital. I am not going out and butchering a chicken for dinner and then cooking it over an open fire. We have a modern kitchen with modern appliances. I am really grateful for these! There are, however quirks. Let’s start with the appliances. Most of the appliances here are European models, which means that they are quite a bit smaller than the American versions. Our refrigerator/freezer is about 4.5 feet tall, so space is limited. This doesn’t bother me much because I can’t stand when food gets los...
