Daniel and Christy Kihm: Newly Appointed Missionaries-elect to the Netherlands

June 11, 2012

Daniel and Christy Kihm are newly appointed Church of God missionaries-elect to the Netherlands. Daniel grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and holds a bachelor’s degree in Bible and religion, as well as an MDiv from Anderson University. He also attended Cincinnati Bible College. For the past seven years, Daniel was the senior pastor at Maple Grove Church of God in Anderson, Indiana. Daniel has had extensive experience leading teams overseas and has traveled to Haiti, Peru, Guatemala, Hungary, Romania, Greece, Honduras, Grand Cayman, India, Mexico, Australia, France, Italy, Jamaica, and Morocco. He also was a part of XZ Berlin’s 2010 Urban Mission Experience.

Christy was born in Albany, Indiana, and has been working as an admissions counselor at Anderson University. She has a bachelor’s degree in secondary education and a master’s in business administration from Anderson University. Christy has traveled to Israel, Honduras, Tanzania, Brazil, Costa Rica, Greece, and has co-led groups with Daniel to Grand Cayman, Hungary, Romania, India, Honduras, and Australia.

Both Daniel and Christy love being in positions where they can mentor and encourage people in their lives and ministry. On the Three Worlds Team, the Kihms will be based in the Netherlands (Holland) working with the young, emerging leadership in the Church of God congregations near the Belgium and German border. The Kihms will also be assisting the XZ Berlin team from time to time, as well as assisting with laying the foundation for a major church-planting and church-support initiative by Three Worlds. Global Missions is very excited to have them join the 3W team!

The Kihms are expecting their first child this summer, so there will be three Kihms on the 3W team.
