Enlarging The Kingdom of God
At Renewed Spirit Kiki Aereal Ministries, we believe in the power of faith to transform the lives of individuals and communities. Through our outreach efforts, counseling services, and community programs, we seek to enlarge the Kingdom of God by spreading His love and compassion to all.
Kiki’s Story
I am Akili Sebhat, affectionately known as Kiki, and I have a remarkable story of faith and perseverance. Born in Ethiopia, I am a former refugee and a single mother to my precious son, Aereal. I came to the US in 1990; in 2005, I received CHRIST JESUS as my Savior. My conversion led to a revival in my hometown of Tigray, Ethiopia. My first mission trip was in 2006, shortly after a tragic event in my life, where my baby sister was killed by her husband, who was sentenced to death. Despite the pain and loss, God sent me to forgive him, and I did. This forgiveness produced faith. Since then, I have been a missionary for the past 18 years, sharing the transformative power of God’s love and forgiveness with others. God has transformed my life, and I want to share His good news with the nations. “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the bones.” (Proverbs 15:30) As a single mom, my first mission is to uplift and mentor single mothers and their children around the world through Renewed Spirit Kiki Aereal Ministries.
Aereal’s Story
I am Aereal Tsegai, son of Akili Sebhat, and my upbringing was a testament to my mother’s unwavering devotion to serving the Lord and others. Growing up under her wing, I witnessed firsthand her resilience and commitment, which ignited within me a deep-seated passion for aiding those in need. From a tender age, I stood alongside my mother, eager to lend a helping hand.
Even as a child, I understood the importance of sacrifice. I willingly surrendered my bedroom whenever my mom and her team opened our doors to those seeking solace and prayer, content to sleep on the sofa during those times. Whenever financial hurdles threatened to impede my mom’s mission trips, her steadfast resolve never wavered. Her unwavering faith in God’s calling spurred me to action—I’d pick up extra hours to send her whatever support I could muster. Despite the constraints, I stood beside her, a pillar of encouragement and assistance.
Now, as I tread my path, I find fulfillment in teaching children in Sunday school and pursuing my education at Northwest University Christian School, focusing on childhood development. Side by side with my mother, I am dedicated to effecting change in the lives of single mothers and children, while sharing the transformative power of the gospel. Together, through Renewed Spirit Kiki Aereal Ministries, our mission remains steadfast: guiding individuals toward a renewed sense of purpose and a deepened faith in Christ.

Serving our Community and World
Renewed Spirit Kiki Aereal Ministries is actively involved in serving both our local community and the global community. “Jesus came near and said. All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)
Our Communities
Our ministry is dedicated to making a positive impact wherever we go. We accomplish this goal through our various partnerships with churches, outreach initiatives, and the planting of home churches. Our principal aim is to spread the love of Christ and bring hope to those who need it most. Our first heart mission is for our community in Seattle, Washington. My first mission, once I was saved, was in downtown Seattle. This ministry heavily involved praying with the homeless and providing food. We also support pastors financially and help plant churches. We pray with and mentor young people.
Ethiopia
Our ministry has deep roots in Ethiopia, Tigray my hometown, where we work closely with 13 children and their families. We provide school supplies and food when we visit, as needed. We do ‘Awakening Conferences’ in the town of Tigray and local villages. We fly pastors and singers from the capital city to help lead and encourage; they share the gospel and their testimonies. As a result, many people come to the Lord! We also support local pastors financially. Another focus in this region is assistance with counseling, training sessions, and building evangelists. Our vision is to open a Renewed Spirit Kiki Aereal Center in Tigray to empower families, strengthen communities across the country and enlarge the Kingdom.
Istanbul, turkey
In Istanbul, we collaborate with organizations and churches to offer resources and support to refugees and marginalized communities. Our ministries here include providing humanitarian aid and offering counseling services. Our goal is to open a Renewed Spirit Kiki Aereal Center in Turkey to serve and support the diverse population of Istanbul.
Dubai
In Dubai, we are involved in various community projects, specifically aimed at addressing the needs of migrant workers and their families. Through partnerships with local church charities and advocacy groups, we share the gospel. As well as we generally promote social justice and equality for all residents of Dubai.
The Middle East
Our ministry extends its reach to the wider Middle East region, where we support initiatives focused on peacebuilding, reconciliation, and interfaith dialogue. By fostering understanding and cooperation among different religious and cultural groups, we seek to promote harmony and unity in the region.
