NIKO was founded in 1985 in Hawaii as a King’s Kids International program to train evangelism teams before going abroad, taking them out of their comfort zone and teaching them about surrender for better teamwork and servant leadership . NIKO comes from the Greek and is pronounced “nee-ko”. It means: to subdue, to conquer, to surpass or to obtain the victory.

NIKO allows learning through doing rather than just listening. It will challenge you in your personal walk with God and with others through practical experiences. You will be challenged to use your initiative, creativity, compassion, responsibility, and trust through service to others. You will also be challenged to discover both your strengths and your mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional weaknesses.
