Kevin Robert Horton

Kevin worked in the Construction business for many years, his father helped him begin his own company “Interior Systems” in 1980. Later, he established his own company “Horton Drywall Inc.” He built many hospitals, malls, and multifamily housing units throughout the US. His most gratifying time was when he was privileged to help build The Bill Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock.

Kevin enjoyed all outdoor sports especially fishing with his friends and co-workers. Kevin loved being a grandfather of 4 grandchildren and being involved in their lives. Kevin will be remembered by so many people he cared about, his joy was being most generous to anyone who needed anything anytime.

God chose Kevin to build the Kiley Stuesse Mission Center in Cusco, Peru. He helped design and fund the Mission Center as well as launch the Life and Work Program. The Mission Center serves as a hub for missions throughout the Cusco region of Peru. The center consists of a house church, provides networking opportunities, lodging for mission teams and volunteers, classrooms for Pastor training, a medical clinic and an orphanage for 60 children that is under construction. The Life and Work program prepares aging-out orphans and other at-risk teenages for jobs in the tourism industry. They live at the Mission Center for 6 months learning biblically based life and job skills. There have been 126 graduates to date from the program.

Kevin received Jesus Christ at a young age as his Savior. He was a member of Christ Community Church in Little Rock.
