KCM launched its radio ministry in May 1975 when it began broadcasting on 10 stations. A short time later, the Lord told Brother Copeland to put forth the Word “on every available voice.” Within a year, the broadcast was being heard on more than 500 stations in the U.S. and Canada, resulting in an increase in the production and distribution of cassette tapes—the only form of audio recording for sale—from 27,000 to 171,000. Television became another “available voice” for KCM in 1979, as the ministry aired its first one-hour, weekly TV broadcast. Ten years later, in 1989, the Copelands took their boldest, most daring step of faith ever when they launched the daily "Believer’s Voice of Victory" broadcast. "BVOV," which currently airs 779 hours each week, is now seen on 452 stations. The television ministry saw a major expansion beginning in March 2006 when KCM began airing the "Believer’s Voice of Victory" broadcast on Trinity Broadcasting Network’s Spanish-language satellite network, Enlace. The network reaches millions of homes across the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America, and Spain. As part of the growth and expansion of the television ministry, KCM completed its upgrade to new, state-of-the-art, high-definition TV engineering and production equipment to provide viewers around the world with the best possible transmission of the gospel. Last year, in 2015, KCM extended its television outreach to include the Believers’ Voice of Victory Network, available through Dish® Network Channel 265. Hosting a lineup of trusted Bible teachers delivering the uncompromised Word of God 24/7, BVOVN can also be seen on Roku®, Apple TV® 4th Generation, YouTube®, Amazon Fire TV®, Facebook, iOS and online at bvovn.com. The internet has played a major role in the growth of KCM. In 2001 the ministry established kcm.org, providing global access to features and articles from the "BVOV" magazine, as well as live audio and video feeds from Believers’ Conventions and Victory Campaigns, and access to its TV broadcasts. The launch of the online Believers’ Academy in 2015 is enabling Partners and Friends to strengthen their faith with a learning center they can access at their convenience. Through its social media outlets, KCM has logged 1,243,684 friends on Facebook, registered more than 227,831 followers on Twitter, recorded nearly 1,350,077 video views on YouTube and 1.1 million visits on its official blog, kennethcopelandministries.org. The 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. "BVOV" Radio has aired live with 24-hour programming since February 2001, offering audio from KCM Conventions, Victory Campaigns and EMIC services, as well as music from KCM, other artists, and hourly news from the American Family Association. Listeners can also tune in to EMIC live and on-demand church services through Internet Radio. Going Around the World Meetings have 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 to be held annually until 2007. Additionally, KCM launched its annual Southwest Believers’ Convention in Fort Worth in 1981. The Great Lakes Believers’ Convention first convened in 2003 and was last held in 2008. The ministry also holds several three-day Victory Campaigns each year, as well as two-day Living Victory meetings. In addition to KCM events, the Copelands speak at numerous meetings and churches throughout the year. Kenneth and Gloria travel thousands of miles and spend hundreds of hours in the air each year going around the world to preach the gospel including places like Australia, Canada, China, Italy, Nigeria, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom and Venezuela. 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 “start teaching on healing in every meeting.” She heard the Lord say: 'I want you to share what you know about being healed, because I want My people well.' And last year, Kenneth started ministering at Healing School along with Gloria. From its headquarters in Fort Worth, KCM oversees its six international offices. It is through these offices that KCM is able to further extend its outreach with the Word of God. The ministry continues to grow, going wherever the Lord directs to deliver the message of hope, promise and faith, and letting the world know that…“Jesus Is Lord!” V social media: 1,243,684 friends on facebook 227,831 followers on twitter 1,350,077 views on YouTube® google+ pinterest instagram 4 : BVOV
