Born on the 6th of December 1936 at Lubbock, Texas, Kenneth Copeland was the initiator of Christian organization called Kenneth Copeland Ministries. People know him as a well know Author, Speaker, Televangelist and word of faith promoter. He was also a very talented singer and a recording artist and gave very popular numbers. The “Pledge of love” was his very popular composition which appeared in the list of Billboard Top 40 hit on 20th April 1957. It stayed in the chart for fifteen weeks and touched the 12th position in the list.
Getting influenced by the Christian religion he got converted into Christianity in year 1962 and later created his own Christian Ministry. During his youth he worked as a chauffeur of Oral Roberts around 1967 he enrolled at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Around 1970’s the KCM became very popular among people and many of them joined it and the population grew remarkably. Ministries headquarter were at Newark, Texas and had many international locations as well. It also gained popularity internationally like in Australia, Africa, Canada, UK and Ukraine. They also made a prison inmate ministry which helped the convicts by providing them basic immunities.
After his conversion to Christianity Kenneth started working for a new brand of Christian theology known as The Prosperity Theology. Some of his ideas and teachings in this work are controversial with some sections of the Christian community. Copeland’s daily television program “Believer’s Voice of Victory” became popular and in November 2007 Mike Huckabee, a Republican presidential primary candidate during 2008 made six appearances on this program. Mike Huckabee’s campaign supported the Kenneth Ministries and paid for its use for a fundraiser.
The Kenneth Ministries established a private airport at Fort Worth, Texas with a name Kenneth Copeland Airport. KCM had raised the prison inmate’s ministry in different countries. This ministry taught and bought peace even in the prison cells. KCM did write letters for the prison inmates for giving them lessons for having patience and peace. The KCM has been working hard to share the power of the blessed life to those behind bars over these years. They help the prisoners by giving those books and other resources for chaplains. They even have been donated some amount to build up a chapel for the prison inmates.
During 1995 the Barber ministries enabled the KCM to broadcast the Eagle Mountain Motorcycle Rally live via satellite to inmates in Texas and other states. Many state prisoners received the satellite broadcast of this rally.
There have been partnerships building up and supporting the Ministries. Today the KCM and its partners work together to achieve their common goal of getting peace among people. Kenneth and Gloria Copeland and the entire KCM staff pray and admire their partners who have been supporting them for this noble task. Kenneth’s prophetic insight and teachings have inspired many for having a positive outlook towards life. He supports his partners by telling them no matter how great or small you ministry is it will become part of our ministry and vice versa.
Today KCM receives many letters every month from inmates and sows many products annually. On an average over every month about 3,404 inmates get added to KCM mailing list sharing their views and ideas. This ministry helps the inmates by giving them right lessons on life and their future.
