will "put you in charge of much" (Matthew 25:21, Amplifi ed Bible, Classic Edition). Or as Pastor Terri puts it, "If you will be faithful in what He shows you, faithful in what you see, you will see more." Faithfully, she walked in the light the Lord gave her about television and, sure enough, it kept expanding—from a one-hour weekly Believer's Voice of Victory broadcast that aired nationally… to an international broadcast…to a daily half-hour broadcast. From the Church to The Revival Capital of the World ® In 1992, the light expanded to include Eagle Mountain International Church. "Until then, pastoring the church had never been on my radar," Terri says. "But God dropped it in my heart the same way He'd dropped TV in my heart years before, and suddenly I saw it. George did too. Shortly thereafter, the opportunity to pastor was handed to us and we stepped into it. "The same kind of suddenly happened again in 2014. After the Lord began reminding me about our future, He repeated what He'd said to Dad about Eagle Mountain being The Revival Capital of the World. In a fl ash, The Revival Capital dropped in my spirit. I saw what it would be and what it meant. I saw that whatever we do—at KCM, in the church, at Kenneth Copeland Bible College ® , on VICTORY Channel ™ —we must do with The Revival Capital in mind." That's something Pastor George has done for a long time. He's kept the vision for The Revival Capital in mind ever since the day in 1979 when he got his fi rst glimpse of it. Having been on sta at KCM for three years, he'd been tasked with developing the ministry's publications department when one day, Brother Copeland sat down with him. "George," he said, "I'm going to share with you the vision I had of The Revival Capital of the World." Sensing the sacredness of the moment, George picked up his pen and notepad. Feeling like a spiritual scribe, he took notes as Brother Copeland described the vision in detail. Afterward, he asked George to produce a brochure about it. Once the brochure was done, Pastor George recalled, Brother Copeland took it to the next Victory Campaign to share with those in attendance. "The Lord had told Brother Copeland that, 'People will call it The Revival Capital of the 1 4 : B V O V Get Get Get your digital your digital your digital your digital your digital your digital magazine magazine magazine magazine magazine magazine magazine World,' so after that meeting he never mentioned it again." "Sometime later, I was preaching at Eagle Mountain Church when I mentioned Revival Capital. Driving home after the service, Terri said to me, 'Do you realize what you said from the platform during service? You said Revival Capital of the World. The Lord told Dad that people would call it The Revival Capital of the World." "I gave the only response I knew to give. I told her, 'Well, I'm a people.' "I always kept it in my o ce. Even though it seemed like it would never happen, I never really let go of that vision. It's on me. It's in me, and I dare not give up on it because watching over it is part of my responsibility in perpetuating the heritage of faith. It's part of the vision God gave Kenneth and Gloria starting back in 1967. Helping see to it that vision is fulfi lled is what I'm called to do. My purpose here is to take care of what is precious to Kenneth and Gloria. To watch over it. To make sure that we don't stray from the founders' original intent and see to it that we stay the course. "Early in my life I dreamed of following in the footsteps of my father," Pastor George says. "An extremely successful graphic artist, he used to take me with him to his o ce in New York City when I was a little boy. Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I planned to attend school and work in New York, just like he did. But when I came to work here, that vision got swallowed up in Brother Copeland's vision. I've gone much further than I ever dreamed because I submitted my vision to his." One of the desires that's burning brightest in Pastor George's heart these days is to share that vision with others—especially the KCM Partners. That's why this month he's launching his new TV program on VICTORY Channel, called Inside the Vision. His mission is essentially to do for the ministry's Partners, both current and prospective, what the Lord instructed him to do for the KCM/ EMIC sta s when he fi rst became CEO: Rally the troops. Communicate the vision. Build their faith to believe for and receive the fi nances for that vision as well as for the vision they have for their own lives. "One of the things I've endeavored to do in the Victory Campaigns in recent years is to give our Partners what I call vision slivers. Through those slivers, I'm able to give them just a quick glimpse of some of the thrilling things that KCM magazine.kcm.org
