Throughout its area of influence, KCM Europe looks for ways to make a difference and fulfill the Bible’s command: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” (Luke 6:38). Growing and Adapting KCM Europe has also ramped up its own direct ministry efforts over the last two years of intermittent lockdowns caused by the COVID pandemic. As Martin said, “It’s forced us to adapt. Although our office has been closed at times, we’re always open for ministry.” KCM Europe’s staff worked hard to convert books and other materials into digital formats so Partners and Friends could access them through any device in the comfort of their homes. It was a project they had already started, but lockdowns accelerated the need for high quality KCM teaching materials. “It’s been a blessing to have the ministry’s teaching available on more digital titles than ever before,” Martin said. As one Partner, Phil from the U.K., wrote, “The quality of the resources that KCM provides is excellent! For years now you’ve been at the forefront of excellence…. The way you put things together is for growth.” Another new Partner wrote, “Thank you for your prayers. I was unable to pay my school fees; however, as I trusted in God, a £8,000 debt was canceled. I am also deeply grateful for the teachings on faith and what I am learning about the basis for God’s blessing-based prosperity. So much wisdom.” The ministry has grown in other areas too. Through the office’s social media, more people are learning about the integrity of God’s Word and the Lord’s goodness and faithfulness in real time. This is evident in the video prayer meeting that KCM Europe hosts each week, which allows Partners to not only receive prayer, but also to join in praying for others. “It just takes a few seconds to connect with people by either providing them with an encouraging word or an online prayer, or sending them a PDF of a teaching,” Hawkins said. This kind of direct, online ministry has extended to the staff, too. During the last two years, the office’s leadership has launched events with speakers such as Jerry Savelle, Jesse Duplantis, Pastor George Pearsons, Rick Renner and others. These online events have trained and built up the Partner pastors and leaders as well as KCM Europe staff. Bright Future The future is bright for KCM Europe. In honor of its 40th anniversary, KCM Europe will be celebrating each month by focusing on different aspects of the ministry, launching new live and online courses, campaigns and events for our Partners and Friends. Of course, the office and its staff welcome the faith-filled prayers of the KCM family-at-large as they work to support those in their area. This includes believing for them to have wisdom, clearly hearing the Lord’s direction on new initiatives, and having open doors in the nations they serve. More than anything, Martin wants the KCM family to know that the Europe office is ready to do whatever God leads it to do. “We’re here. Our staff team is strong in faith, and we love to hear from and pray with our Partners and Friends. We want to hear their testimonies and give them an opportunity to sow into the work of the ministry.” God is moving through KCM Europe. He’s used this office over the last 40 years to bring the Word of Faith to believers, and He’s positioning them to reach even more in the next 40 years! V 23 : BVOV
