Kingdom Christian
International School
(KCIS) Bangkok, Thailand
Founder & Leadership
KCIS is led by a founding family called by God, equipped through international education and ministry experience, and committed to stewarding this school with integrity, faith, and excellence.
"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.
