About Us
The Kihius
Revs. Dr. Patrick and Rebecca Kihiu were born in Kenya, Africa. Patrick grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, while Rebecca grew up in Mwimutoni village, Escarpment, Kenya. Rebecca became a Christian as a young girl, while Patrick received Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord in 1988. The Kihius ministered in Kenya as young adult leaders and in local evangelism and discipleship for several years before relocating to the USA in the early 90s. Patrick Kihiu is a graduate of Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, KY- 2003 (Master of Divinity), and 2007 (PhD). Rebecca is a graduate of Bluegrass Community and Technical College, Lexington, KY- 2007 (Registered Nurse). The Kihius have three children: Patience Wanjiru, Shalom Kihiu, & Joy Nyangunu. Their second born Shalom Kihiu, after whom Kihiu Ministries was named after, passed on to glory in July 2022- it is the Kihius desire and passion to continue the SHALOM legacy of sharing the love of Jesus Christ with other people in the USA, Kenya, and around the world.
About Shalom Vision Outreach
Join us in Christian Mission Outreach
Kihiu International Ministries (KIM) is a Christian non-profit mission agency that seeks to address the holistic needs of the Kenyan people—spiritually, socially, economically, physically, emotionally, etc—through the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have become a bridge of hope between our global partners’ and our Kenyan community. As a Christian non-profit agency, we recognize that true holistic transformation can only occur when Jesus Christ is at the center of the human community; therefore, we boldly proclaim the “whole gospel for the whole world.” Our prayer and hope is that you will partner with us in this urgent mission outreach. You can become a prayer partner and we can send you regular updates on our Kenya mission. Your financial donations will also enable us to continue fulfilling our God-given mandate.
