Kenneth grew up in Brazil, where his parents were pioneer missionaries. He and his wife Rejane and four sons served as missionaries in Ivory Coast (1984-2003). In 2003 Kenneth and Rejane transferred to Brazil where they served until 2023.

Kenneth joined the IM office team in 2017, accumulating the responsibilities of Director of Global Partnerships (formerly Field Partnerships) while continuing to serve as a field missionary to Brazil until 2023. Since 2024 he has dedicated himself full time to develop partnerships with FWB associations of churches in countries where IM no longer has resident field missionaries as well as with other like-minded organizations or associations of indigenous churches in areas with a concentration of unreached peoples.
