He has ministered in places such as the Bahamas, Trinidad, Chicago, Jamaica, Tennessee and overseas just to name a few. Recently, God used this man of God mightily in the cities of Detroit, Michigan, Davenport, Iowa, Bossier City, LA and right in the Marshall, Texas. Bishop Kiel will continue to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as long as there is a soul to be saved.

Bishop Kiel believes in the sanctity and unity of strong family values. God has blessed the Kiel's with three sons and a great niece whom they raised in the fear of the Lord and in the admonition of holiness.

Bishop Kiel has been chosen by God to be that end time preacher that God will use to pull down the strong holds of the Satan. Bishop declares everywhere he goes that it is all about winning souls to Christ. Bishop Kiel believes we are saved for such a time as this.

Although, the city of Marshall was denoted by many as "The Preachers Graveyard"yet thirty one years later Bishop is still declaring "THESE BONES WILL LIVE!"
