In 2009, KCM Africa multiplied its direct ministry efforts by ministering to pastors and fivefold ministry leaders through Leaders Connect. What began with six leaders has grown to 1,390. These meetings, held in person in Johannesburg, and virtually during lockdown, build up and equip leaders all over Africa by teaching on subjects like how to walk by faith, minister with integrity, stand for financial blessing and oversee a healthy church. Pastors George and Terri Pearsons from KCM’s Eagle Mountain International Church in Fort Worth, their son, Jeremy Pearsons, and numerous African leaders have taught the Word during these meetings. Leaders Connect has proven to be a powerful way of training and building up pastors and leaders in every nation of Africa so they can in turn take the lessons they learn back to their members. God Comes Through Every Time Though the recent lockdowns forced many of the office’s in-person ministries to move online, the goal of meeting the spiritual and physical needs of the people remains the same. KCM Africa partners with humanitarian organizations to provide food for the poor and homeless. Daily, it provides 78 meals through the office’s Hands of Help program, and yearly, it gives more than 100 food vouchers to those in need at Christmas. The vouchers feed a family of four for a month. It has even partnered with Cups of Kindness, an organization that provides young girls with the sanitary supplies they need to stay in school. When humanitarian crises arise, KCM Africa gets to work. In July 2021, South Africa experienced rioting and looting in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces. During this rash of violence, entire malls, warehouses and hundreds of businesses were razed. In the aftermath, thousands were left without food. KCM Africa joined forces with Lighthouse Family Church and a local retailer to distribute three large trucks full of food to those in need. “The past years have taught us to take Father God at His Word, and He has come through, not just once but every time,” Blumstein said. Testimonies arrive daily celebrating the work the Lord is doing through KCM Africa. Save the World Foundation wrote to thank KCM Africa for the difference it helped make: “Our team is rejoicing once again at the thousands of precious students who have decided for Jesus since school has resumed. About 3,790 students decided for Jesus in five Tembisa school campaigns.” KCM Africa has also partnered with Christ for all Nations, a ministry that was founded by the late Reverend Reinhard Bonnke. CfaN has led several crusades and events across Africa, leading millions to make a decision for Christ. Thea Britz, Southern Africa Director of CfaN, said, “I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your great support…. We are so blessed…this inspires and propels us to go the extra mile as God opens doors and makes it possible through your faithfulness to go and preach the gospel to all nations!” The Fullness of THE BLESSING KCM Africa’s staff wants Partners and Friends to know that they are there for them, praying for them to experience the fullness of THE BLESSING, including divine health and healing, supernatural prosperity, the God kind of love, and so much more. Blumstein summed it up: “As you journey through this life, know that we are standing with you, believing with you that you will move from faith to faith and victory to victory.” It’s this devotion and determination that has allowed KCM Africa to weave a tapestry of faith for the past 40 years. May the next 40 years be just as fruitful and vibrant. V BVOV : 21
