the kerri kiker foundation

Antioch Independent Baptist Church

The outpouring of love and donations in memory of Kerri Kiker was - and remains today - astounding. The hopes of building a new church for the people of Karogoto Kenya, in memory of Kerri, was realized in less than a year. This church, built by love, was dedicated to the Lord on February 15, 2009.

During our time spent in Kenya, we were touched by the precious people and their thankfulness. The warmth and compassion of the congregation, was of the most genuine kind.

Kerring For Kenya was founded in April of 2009 as a means to continue the support of this church and the other Antioch Ministries of Kenya which began over 58 years ago through the mission work of Pastor David and Elwanda Fields. It is their son, Pastor Stephen Fields of East Ellijay Baptist Church and life long friend of the Kiker's, that helped to see the dream of building this church become a reality. 

In Loving Memory of Kerri Lee Kiker

Kerri was God's gift to Ben and Vicki Kiker. God had his plans for her, and though her homecoming, through the human standpoint, is called an accident, in God's Providence and plan for her time, and eternity, is an incident.

The growing ministry of Antioch Baptist Church at Karogoto, through the loving donations in honor of Ben and Vicki, in Kerri's memory, and love for God, now takes a giant step forward to evangelize, disciple and provide facilities to impact lives for time and eternity. Kerri Kiker's life, by God's grace, continues to speak.
Kerri's "flowers" are in Kenya.

Pastor Stephen Fields, Mr. and Mrs. Ben and Vicki Kiker Kerring for Kenya  is in the process of raising funds for the construction of a Church to be built in honor of Master Angelo Ace. This Church will be built in Kenya and dedicated within the next year. Master Ace was a friend in the martial arts and was planning a trip to Kenya with the Kerring for Kenya Team last February. He was unable to go due to his illness. His plan was to go the following year, however, it was during that time that God took Master Ace home with him. We rejoice in knowing that he is with our Heavenly Father, however he is missed terribly and loved greatly. We want to honor Master Ace and the amazing leader that he was to so many of us. This Church will be built at Solio Ranch settlement #4. This is a very large game reserve where part of the land was set aside for displaced refugees whose villages were burned, looted and destroyed as well as other homeless peoples. The Kenyan government and the United Nations set the land aside for them. They were given this land—bare, without roads, without shelter; only fields and tents to sleep in. There are 7 settlements and this will be the 1st permanent Church built there. We are extremely grateful for any contributions to this mission. Please follow this link for more information.
