BVOV Magazine 2013 - present

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,” says Kellie Copeland, 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, comic books and music CDs; and the "Over the Edge" and "Load Up" devotionals for teens. In partnership with Dana Johnson Ministries for more than 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 its most recent children’s ministry effort, the Superkid Academy Curriculum, which is 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. 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.” In 2013, KCM released 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 made this project so special was that it was written and directed by Lyndsey Rae, 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 first five volumes of the Superkid curriculum,” Kellie explains, “and was actively working on shorts for Volume 6 when the Lord gave her a unique direction. 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.'” BVOV : 3
