Africa
The Reynens recently relocated from Kenya to Togo, West Africa. This move is to enable them to be involved with the start-up and operation of a missionary training institute for African Free Methodists. Mike and Vickie both continue with their supervisory responsibilities. As Africa Area Director, Mike’s work is currently focusing on developing a stronger collaboration among the Africa missionary team, with renewed attention to disciple-making. He also continues to work with national leaders for vitality in their FM work. Vickie is now one of two Regional Coordinators for ICCM in Africa. She works with four Country Coordinators for effective ministry to children in each country. Their children reside in the states: daughters Kelly and Kenzie, and Kenzie’s husband, Jamie, live and work in Indiana; Kyle and his wife, Maddie, live in Michigan.
