Going Around the World Meetings have played a major part in KCM’s call to evangelize the world. In 1978, the first weeklong Believers’ Convention was held in Anaheim, Calif., where it continued to be held annually until 2007. Additionally, KCM launched its annual Southwest Believers’ Convention in Fort Worth in 1981. The Great Lakes Believers’ Convention first convened in 2003 and was last held in 2008. The ministry also holds several three-day Victory Campaigns each year. In addition to KCM events, the Copelands speak at numerous meetings and churches throughout the year. KCBC®: Another Available Voice For more than 55 years, KCM has been teaching believers worldwide how to apply the principles of faith found in God’s Word to their everyday lives. Kenneth and Gloria Copeland have passionately followed the leading of the Spirit in putting this uncompromised message of faith and love on every available voice. An extension of that teaching was unfolded in August 2018, when Kenneth Copeland stood before a group of excited students on opening day of Kenneth Copeland Bible College® and declared, “You are in your place. God called you to be here! Walk in His love. Practice His presence. Think about Him all the time. This is all part of your training. That's why you're here.” On Friday, Aug. 7, 2020, Brother Copeland again stood before those students—now the first graduating class of Kenneth Copeland Bible College. With joy in his heart, and in gratitude for what the Lord had brought to pass, he encouraged the more than 100 graduates by telling them: “Something wonderful has been accomplished in your life…. You only begin once, and the rest becomes history—day by day…. You have this sense of accomplishment, and you should. Keep advancing.” Reading from 1 Corinthians 4:1, which says, “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God,” Brother Copeland told the graduates: “You are now stewards of the mysteries of God.” He ended his address with a challenge that they fulfill the Great Commission: “Go into all the world and preach this gospel to every creature," he told the graduates. "Every creature. Lay hands on the sick and they will recover. Preach, teach and heal like Jesus. And take this gospel from the top of the world to the bottom and all the way around the middle!” Now in its third year, KCBC, which is an accredited member with Transworld Accrediting Commission International—a federally recognized, nonprofit, church educational organization designed specifically for biblical institutions—continues to grow as it fulfills its purpose of perpetuating the knowledge of the Word and understanding of the Spirit. Kenneth and Gloria travel thousands of miles and spend hundreds of hours in the air each year going around the world to preach the gospel, including places like Australia, Canada, China, Italy, Nigeria, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom and Venezuela. A major component of KCM’s Believers’ Conventions and Victory Campaigns has been Healing School, which began in 1979 after the Lord instructed Gloria to “start teaching on healing in every meeting.” She heard the Lord say: 'I want you to share what you know about being healed, because I want My people well.' For more than 40 years now people have been receiving healing at Healing School. From its headquarters in Fort Worth, KCM oversees its six international offices and continues to grow, going wherever the Lord directs to deliver the message of hope, promise and faith, and letting the world know that…“Jesus Is Lord!” V TIMELINE: 1967…Kenneth preached his first message 1973…First BVOV newsletter was printed 1976…KCM Canada opened ...........Radio broadcast began 1978…First Believers’ Convention 1979…Sunday broadcast began ...........KCM Australia opened 1981…First Southwest Believers’ Convention 1982…First worldwide satellite Communion Service ...........KCM Europe & KCM Africa opened 1983… Monthly Partner Letter began 1986…Eagle Mountain International Church began 1989…Daily TV broadcast began 1993…Broadcast began airing in Eastern Europe 1994…KCM Ukraine opened 1996…KCM.org launched 2005…Disaster Relief began 2006…Spanish Sunday broadcast began 2008…24/7 prayer line began 2011…Asia magazine began ...........Sunday broadcast in German began 2012…Spanish magazine began 2014...
