Founder & Advisory Board

Kingdom Christian International School (KCIS) is guided by a group of respected leaders from Thailand and the United States who bring together spiritual authority, educational vision, and professional expertise.

This leadership structure reflects KCIS’s commitment to integrity, accountability, and long-term sustainability—ensuring that the school is built on a strong and trusted foundation for generations to come.

"KCIS is a school built for His glory, a lighthouse for children, and a vessel for destinies to be awakened by the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ."

The Founder’s Story & Divine Calling

Pastor Sirinart Thavornrat is a Thai-American pastor, preacher, and visionary educator whose life has been marked by God’s grace and calling. After completing a Master’s degree in Theology at Regent University in Virginia Beach, she returned to Thailand to teach, heal, and empower her nation through the Word of God.

For eight years she hosted a national television program teaching English and ethics to viewers across the country, and later led a Christian radio program that brought hope and moral strength to families. In 2017 she founded Empowerment Covenant Church in Bangkok, a thriving ministry dedicated to biblical truth and discipleship.

Her journey to establish KCIS is rooted in deep personal encounters with God: seeing her sons miraculously healed from serious childhood illnesses, being led to the United States for their education and spiritual training, and receiving prophetic visions of a white school building and fleets of ships representing nations coming together under God’s command.

A School Born From Obedience & Passion

KCIS was born from a clear calling from the Lord Jesus Christ—a divine assignment to build a school where children can encounter His truth, His purpose, and His love.

A place where children from ordinary families receive extraordinary education in character, wisdom, and identity in Christ.
A “white school building” was seen in a vision, representing a sanctuary of grace and truth for the next generation.
A prophetic “30-fleet” vision symbolizing nations and financial provision from overseas partners.
It will be a refuge for middle-income families and scholarships for Christian families in need.
A campus where the Holy Spirit has full freedom to shape students with Christlike character that will last for eternity.
