Heart for Missions

KCC has a rich history of global missions. Through Building Beyond Borders — the missions wing of Kelowna Christian Center Society — our local church family is making a real impact in communities around the world. We believe the call to follow Jesus doesn't stop at our city limits; every believer is sent. Your giving fuels the work that's already in motion and the work still ahead.

Mexico: Kevin & Laurel Penner

Kevin & Laurel Penner serve with Wycliffe Bible Translators Canada in Oaxaca State. Their work begins where written language doesn't yet exist, helping Indigenous communities develop alphabets and literacy for languages that have only ever been spoken, then translating the Bible into those languages. In doing so, they bring the written Word of God to communities who could otherwise never access it.
