“The second thing I learned that changed my life was Brother Copeland’s habit of fasting in January. I learned to fast. He also taught me that I didn’t have to wait until I had large sums of money to give. Brother Copeland explained how he’d decided to give $50,000 into Brother Hagin’s ministry. Although he had no idea how he’d be able to do it, instead of waiting, he started giving what he had and just kept giving until he’d given $50,000.
“Our church had opened a home for boys who were wards of the state. Most of them had behaviors too extreme for foster care. They ranged in age from seven to 18. We ministered to them and led most of them to the Lord. We were given a building, but we needed $250,000 to renovate it. Candy and I decided to give $10,000, even though we didn’t even have $1,000. As we gave into that pledge, it broke that dry season.
“We got a call from Brother Keith Moore asking us to record with him. We recorded in Brother Copeland’s studio. Working with Brother Keith and seeing Brother Copeland release quality music from his own studio opened a whole new world to us.”
From Faith to Faith
When Kenneth E. Hagin began traveling and hosting Holy Ghost meetings, Keith Moore went along to help. He invited Stephen and Candy to minister in music. For almost six years, they traveled, ministering in those life-changing meetings. Between trips, they continued ministering at their church in Chicago. Stephen, who was director of the boy’s home, earned a master’s degree in human service administration. Over the years, they ministered to nearly 300 boys, most of whom they led to the Lord.
Following their time with Brother Hagin, Stephen and Candy spent the next 11 years traveling and doing music with Joyce Meyer Ministries. Taking the microphone to sing during a ministry trip to India, Candy looked out over a crowd of about a million people. She knew beyond a doubt that if she and Stephen had not been faithful with a few, God would never have released them to minister to so many.
“We were at a meeting at Brother Keith Moore’s church in Branson when some people from KCM’s worship team asked to speak to us,” Candy recalls. “They asked if Stephen and I would be willing to travel and sing with them at Brother Copeland’s meetings. It had been 20 years since I thought I heard the Lord say I was to travel with KCM. I hadn’t even thought about it for years.”
