BVOV Magazine 2013 - present

“Have you paid your fees yet?” “No, I’m trusting God.” “Use my credit card and pay $1,000. I’ll loan you the money.” On Monday, Millicent paid $1,000 toward her tuition. During that week, one of her friends wired $2500 into her account. “All of a sudden my fees were paid,” Millicent says. “Within a month, my house sold. Even though it was a short sale, I got some money back. I paid the $1,000 I owed and had money to keep me going for a while.” Once again, God dropped something into Millicent’s heart that, she admits, was too big for her to believe. “He told me to believe Him for my story to be told in the BVOV magazine. It felt too big for me, but I’d learned that all my arguments were just doubt and unbelief. I made another vision board, this time including my picture in the magazine. I looked at it every day, thanking God. “I enjoyed writing, so I volunteered to work on our yearbook. The pastor for young adults came to the college one day. He said they needed some older faces to serve in the 18- to 30-year-old classes. The Lord urged me to go, and I was there every week. Many of my young classmates were in that group. God gave me an assignment to be a prayer warrior for them. “There was also the prison ministry,” Millicent recalled. “I went with them on an outreach,” she said. “When the pandemic hit, we were unable to meet in classes anymore. Our classes became virtual. Life was so different, but that’s the way we finished our year.” Millicent graduated with her class in 2020. Because of the pandemic, they couldn’t have a normal graduation service. Instead, they were scheduled to graduate on Friday evening, Aug. 7, during the Southwest Believers’ Convention. The Valedictorian When the service was held, Millicent Macauley was announced as class valedictorian. An article about the graduation was featured in the October issue of BVOV and highlighted Millicent as the 2020 class valedictorian. “My friend came from Colorado for graduation, and we stayed together in a hotel. The morning of graduation, out of the blue, I had serious back pain. I couldn’t even walk properly up steps. I confessed the Word of God, declaring my healing, yet the pain continued all day. “When I walked into the hall before we marched, every pain lifted from my body. Drs. George and Terri Pearsons announced that I was valedictorian. They read my accomplishments, which included a 4.0 GPA and A’s on every test. They also read my mission statement: to defend, promote and facilitate justice for minority groups such as at-risk youth, women and children. “Papa Copeland presented me with a plaque and my ring. ‘There will never be another ring like this one,’ he said. ‘It’s one of a kind—for one of a kind!’ Then I gave my speech. The whole experience was glorious. “Partnership with KCM is one of the best things that has happened in my life,” says Millicent. “They have taught me how to latch onto God’s Word, overcome lack and prosper. I’ve learned to stand for my healing and for my finances. Partnership with KCM has led me to places I never imagined I would go.” Following graduation, Millicent asked God what He wanted her to do next. Someone blessed her with money, and she bought land in Sierra Leone, where God has directed her to start a resource center. After all these years, the Word of Faith is still not taught much in her country, Millicent says. Not because the pastors aren’t willing. They simply don’t have the resources they need. In addition to providing those resources, the Lord directed her to start a literacy center for children, as well as for young and older adults. Any adult who wants to learn to read will be taught, Millicent said. The curriculum? The Bible, of course.
