Brother Copeland and his wife, Gloria, had committed to the Lord never to borrow money. With God, however, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26); and Kenneth and Gloria knew it. They also knew that all things are possible to them that believe (Mark 9:23). So, they took God at His word and looked to Him to make a way. Five years passed while they waited for God to show them the next step. During that time, God provided a beautiful property for KCM about 35 miles away, at Lake Arlington. "To the natural eye, it seemed ideal," recalls Brother Copeland. "But God told me, This isn't the final place." Sure enough, in 1978, the Lord directed Brother Copeland to meet with the owner of the property at Eagle Mountain, Mr. Paul H. Pewitt. When Mr. Pewitt heard Brother Copeland share his vision for the land, he caught it immediately. There was just one hitch, Brother Copeland explained. KCM still didn't have the money to purchase the property outright, and borrowing wasn't an option. Mr. Pewitt sat in silence for a while, apparently considering the dilemma. "Come back and see me," he said. "After three more visits, our dear brother Mr. Pewitt came up with a plan," Brother Copeland recalls. Turning away other potential buyers, he offered to lease the land to KCM, apply the lease payments to the purchase price, and sell the property to the ministry in four segments so they could begin to take ownership of it more quickly. To top it all off, Mr. Pewitt gave KCM permission to sell the gravel that was on the land and use the profits to help make the lease payments. The offer was nothing short of supernatural! Now is the time…get it done! the Lord told Brother Copeland. So, in 1979, the deal was finalized and construction began. What had been a training ground for military pilots and soldiers started being transformed into a place of spiritual training. A new base of operations was born that would deliver the uncompromised Word of God to people everywhere—from the top of the world to the bottom and all the way around the middle. A Testimony to the Power of God Today, instead of being a vision that can only be seen through the eyes of faith, The Revival Capital of the World continues to grow into a visible, material reality. Old buildings that survived from World War II days—once so desolate they served as a set for a 1959 science fiction movie—stand renovated, repurposed and surrounded by new ones. These include: the chapel, which was the first new building on "the Mountain" to be completed and occupied; the KCM headquarters building; the Eagle Mountain International Church building that, in addition to providing a gathering place for the congregation, now houses Kenneth Copeland Bible College ® , Superkid Academy and 14forty youth ministry. Then, "down the hill" are the Partner Service Center; production buildings; a television studio; TV department offices; BVOV and TV news studios; the Child Learning Center; and a property maintenance center that includes industrial and storage areas, and the completely rebuilt aviation hangar. All those buildings are a testimony to the power and faithfulness of God. But the greater testimony is the life-changing ministry that continues to flow out of them. Because of what's happening these days at The Revival Capital of the World: · The Believer's Voice of Victory television broadcast currently reaches a potential 318 million-plus viewers in the U.S. and millions internationally. · VICTORY Channel ® carries the life-changing truth of God's Word to people worldwide, 24/7, via Roku ® , DISH ® , DIRECTV ® , Spectrum ® Cable TV, YouTube ® , and the Go Victory app and other social media platforms. · People hungry for truth can hear news they can trust, reported in the spirit of faith, through KCM original programming like VICTORY News and FlashPoint. · Hundreds of thousands every month, in more than 150 countries, receive Believer's Voice of Victory magazine, absolutely free. · Well over 1,000 local members of Eagle Mountain International Church are joined each week by 10,000 more online from at least 35 countries for worship, prayer and the bold preaching of the uncompromised Word. · Calls by the hundreds of thousands (a half million just this year) are answered by KCM 1 4 : B V O V
