KCM special issues

B V O V : 1 1 We actually resow a tenth of every gift and product purchase into lives all over the world. And, as God's Word promises, we see the increase on the seed-faith gifts of our Partners. Through our partnership in ministry, we are reaching greater numbers of people than any of us could reach on our own—people who might have no other way to hear the good news. We stand shoulder to shoulder with ministries like Canaan Land Ministries, a Bible training center in Autaugaville, Ala., that provides a safe place for men who are battling such life-controlling situations as substance abuse, alcohol, or other addictions. And Moscow Good News Church in Russia, where God has entrusted Rick Renner with the blessing of ministering the Word to more than 3 million people since this ministry began. Through Rick Renner Ministries, KCM also partners with House of Mercy, which provides thousands of meals each year for Moscow's homeless population, as well as Vitamin Club, Russia's largest protestant ministry to Moscow's elderly citizens. Most of the work done by IRIS Global, a California-based ministry run by Heidi e internet has also played a major role in the growth of KCM as a voice on the web. In 2001, the ministry established kcm.org, providing global access to features and articles from the BVOV magazine. It also provides live audio and video feeds from Believers' Conventions and Victory Campaigns, and access to its TV broadcasts. e launch of the online Believers' Academy in 2015 enabled Partners and Friends to strengthen their faith w ith a learning center they can access at their convenience. rough its social media outlets, KCM has logged more than 3.4 million followers on Facebook, over 650,900 on Twitter, nearly 509,000 on Instagram, with more than 1 mil lion YouTube subscribers, and over 3.4 million visits to its official blog, kennethcopelandministries.org. e online Partner Community was added in 2015 to provide a place for people to network with others of like-minded faith—to chat, share, pray for and encourage one another. Worldwide, KCM has nearly 3.5 million friends. Going Around the World Meetings have also played a major part in KCM's call to evangelize the world. In 1979, the first weeklong Believers' Convention was held in Anaheim, Calif., where it continued annually until 2007. KCM recently announced the return of the West Coast Believers' Convention, to be held in Ontario, Calif. KCM launched its annual Southwest Believers' Convention in Fort Worth in 1981. e Great Lakes Believers' Convention was held from 2003 to 2008. e ministry also holds several three-day Victory Campaigns each year. 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 teach on healing in every meeting. He said: I want you to share what you know about being healed, because I want My people well. In recent years, Kenneth started ministering alongside Gloria at Healing School. From its headquarters in Fort Worth, KCM oversees its six international offi ces. It is through these offices that KCM can further extend its outreach with the Word of God. The ministry continues to grow, going wherever the Lord directs, and using every voice He makes available, to deliver the message of hope, promise and faith, and letting the world know that Jesus Is Lord! Sowing into Kenneth Copeland Ministries stretches further than the millions of lives KCM touches. Through the principle of Twice-Sown Seed, it stretches across two oceans and from pole to pole—from orphanages to healing ministries to evangelistic meetings to medical teams.
