Continued from page 14 “We set out to do full-length motion pictures, and in those motion pictures, train and teach the power of The WORD of God,” Brother Copeland said. Great success, coupled with the delight of both parents and children, resulted in three more Superkid movies—"Armor of Light," "The Sword" and "Judgment: The Trial of Commander Kellie"—and two additional Wichita Slim movies—"Covenant Rider" and "The Treasure of Eagle Mountain." But that’s not all. In April 1993, the first children’s activity page appeared in the monthly "Believer’s Voice of Victory" magazine. A year later, in May 1994, "Shout! The Voice of Victory for Kids" magazine debuted, growing from 5,000 subscriptions to more than 150,000 when its last issue was distributed in 2006. For more than a decade, Shout! not only won awards, it also brought the Word of God to tens of thousands of children on a regular basis. When its run was complete, funds for Shout! were funneled to other children’s ministry projects. “God has great things for this generation to do, but it takes a lot of time, effort, resources and finances to outweigh the barrage of worldly input that kids are faced with every day,” said Kellie Copeland Swisher, who spearheads KCM’s children’s ministry. “We’re committed to this cause, and I know the KCM Partners are too.” Other faith-filled KCM materials for children over the years have included "Baby Praise" videos, audios and books for babies, 11 "Superkid Adventure" novels, activity books, coloring books and comic books, music CDs, and the "Over the Edge" and "Load Up" devotionals for teens. In partnership with Dana Johnson Ministries for the past 20 years, Superkid Academy has been part of major KCM meetings for years, and has become a regular fixture at Eagle Mountain International Church. For all these efforts, what has been the result? “Years ago when we started this Superkid Academy theme, it was just an idea,” said Kellie. “But what has happened is that we now have real Superkids—even adult Superkids—who know the Word and really have it down in their hearts; they know how to use their faith and what to do when things are hard or when they are in need. They know to go to God, because He is their Source.” Partnering With You On a consistent basis, with the latest technology and developments, we need to prepare our children for what’s out there—prepare them to take a stand against the kingdom of darkness so they don’t become another tragic statistic. That’s why KCM is excited about our most recent children’s ministry effort: The NEW Superkid Academy Curriculum, designed to provide one-on-one interaction and faith training for kids—all in partnership with churches around the globe. From day one, KCM has believed partnership makes the difference in everything we do. When we partner together, we share one another’s anointings and giftings for the furtherance of His kingdom. And now, through partnering with the Superkid Academy Curriculum, teachers have everything they need to teach the uncompromised Word of God—real faith—to the children in their churches. Through the curriculum, which includes DVDs, object lessons, offering lessons, praise and worship music, games, and outlines for messages, Superkid Academy now appears in churches around the globe. Young people are being raised up as Superkids with a strong foundation: knowing they have a purpose and a mission from God, knowing what it means to live by faith, and knowing who they are in Christ. “By arming young people with the Word and biblical core values, and helping to strengthen their spirits, it helps them make right decisions and live anointed lives,” said Kellie. It’s just one more way KCM is reaching out to children, fulfilling those prophetic words: “Whatever we must do, we are going to reach our kids.” Earlier this year, KCM released its newest Superkid Academy movie, a full-length feature titled "Superkid Academy: The Mission"—the first movie project designed in conjunction with the Superkid Academy Curriculum program. One of the things that makes this project so special is that it was written and directed by Lyndsey Swisher, who not only is Kellie’s daughter, but who grew up as a Superkid. “Lyndsey had been involved in writing the video shorts for the previous five volumes of the Superkid curriculum, and was actively working on shorts for Volume 6 when the Lord gave her a unique direction,” Kellie explained. As she was praying about the project, the Lord had Lyndsey write 13 individual scenes, and then He showed her how to put them together and develop them into a movie. The result was ''The Mission." Only God and a Holy Spirit-inspired Superkid could have done that!” Continued on page 16 ********************************** Additional Story Info: 11 Novels - Commander Kellie and the Superkids - Action, adventure and suspense 8 Movies - Wichita Slim and Commander Kellie and the Superkids - Westerns & Futuristic Adventures Teen Devotional - Load Up 1415 - Superkid Academy Children's Church Curriculm - Implemented by churches in the U.S. alone NOV ' 1 3 : BVOV : 15
