Learning and Growing: Grant and Kaylee’s Time at ECHO

Written by danl on January 14, 2026. Posted in West Africa.

Grant and Kaylee began their ministry in West Africa with CMF in early 2023, serving among an unreached people group where less than one percent identify as Christian. Their work is deeply relational and practical. Grant partners with teammates on a gardening initiative called “Gardens of Faithfulness,” which equips families to grow small gardens that combat food insecurity while building trust and community. Kaylee focuses on children and youth outreach, helping lead health clubs that teach preventative health lessons alongside Bible stories, and girls’ health clubs that highlight God’s love for His creation through Scripture.
