About The Kihlengs

Hi!  We're the Kihleng Family!  We are missionaries to the island of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia.  We are sent out of Northside Baptist Church in North Charleston, SC through the ministry of Global Vision Ministries.  We arrived on Pohnpei in February, 2001 and began working with Calvary Baptist Church in Kolonia while praying about where the Lord would have us minister long-term.  After much prayer and planning, we were able to start Ambassador Baptist Church in Nanuh, U in March, 2004.  We started by meeting in the home of one of our members, eventually moved to a small building, and have had to expand the building on three different occasions!  We've outgrown the building again and are now working towards building a new facility!  In January, 2011 we held the first classes of the Baptist Bible Institute of Pohnpei with over 40 students that first semester!  

We have been married for 25 wonderful years and have 5 children - Kaleo, Kestra, Kyler, Katrianne, and Kaylinn.  God has blessed us beyond our wildest imagination and we are so thankful to be able to serve Him.  If you would like to learn more about our ministry, please contact us at rkihleng@hotmail.com.
