BVOV Magazine 2013 - present

Dear Partners and Friends, When the Lord first instructed Kenneth and Gloria Copeland to publish a monthly magazine, He said to them: This is your seed. Give it to everyone who ever responds to your ministry, and don't ever allow anyone to pay for a subscription to it. In September 1973, in obedience to those instructions, Kenneth Copeland Evangelistic Association Inc. published its first official newsletter: a four-page, two-color publication called Believer's Voice of Victory: "A newsletter for the Power People." It was distributed to about 3,000 people. Today, 50 years later, that newsletter has evolved into what is now the Believer's Voice of Victory magazine—a 32-page, full-color monthly publication that is mailed, free of charge, to over 350,000 subscribers in 125 different countries on five continents. And, it is published in four different languages—English, Spanish, Russian, French and German. In June 1997, it became my honor to step in as editor of this esteemed publication. It continues to be my privilege to work alongside a team of faithful writers, editors, graphic designers and proofreaders who strive diligently each month to share God's uncompromised Word with you through BVOV. From its inception, the focus of BVOV has remained the same: to bring you, our Partners and Friends, the good news that Jesus is Lord—no matter where in the world you are. From Alaska to Australia, from Eastern Europe to Africa, from the remote islands in the Pacific to crisscrossing North America, BVOV continues to deliver solid Bible-based teaching on topics like faith, hope, love, healing, prosperity, Redemption, righteousness and the principles of victorious Christian living. Through these teachings, thousands have learned how to exercise their faith and their authority as believers, and walk in the blessings God has provided for them—in everything from family and ministry to health and finances. Over the past 50 years, we've introduced you to people from around the world and nearly every walk of life—people who have faced trouble and dared to take God at His Word and believe Him for victory. These are real people with real needs—people who experienced real life victories at critical times in their lives, all because they learned to trust God and see Him turn tragedy into triumph, defeat into victory, poverty into prosperity! Their stories have been told to inspire and motivate you to a deeper faith and trust in God, and encourage you in your stand of faith in whatever situation you may be facing. Through their experiences, you have witnessed the greatness of God's grace and the power of His love. You have discovered how, by exercising faith and trust in God and obeying His Word, you, too, can be victorious. We've provided powerful, solid Bible-based teaching from some of God's most trusted men and women of faith—beginning with our founders, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. At Kenneth Copeland Ministries, we take God's Word as final authority. Believer's Voice of Victory is committed to keeping that Word at the forefront of your thinking—teaching you how to live victoriously so you are rooted and grounded enough to overcome your own adversities, reach out to others, and share those same principles. As we mark our 50th year of publication, we are even more determined to continue bringing you inspiring teaching, revealing truths and strong testimonies of God's life-changing power. A single word from God has transformed the lives of thousands, and one word from God can do the same for you. Thank you, Partners and Friends, not only for your faithful prayers and support, but for allowing us to be part of your lives for the last 50 years. While we wait together for His return, together we will continue to remind people from the top of the world to the bottom and all the way around the middle—that "Jesus Is Lord!" Did You Know? In 1976, three years after it was established, a young George Pearsons joined the small staff of the BVOV newsletter at Kenneth Copeland Evangelistic Association—as graphic designer Believer's Voice of Victory: Celebrating 50 Years In Print! Badly beaten and facing death, Marleth Lobato watched in horror as her boyfriend held her at gunpoint while he dug her grave. When she cried out to the God from whom she had walked away, He miraculously saved her life!
