Covenant Partner Report
ONE SHARED MISSION
Dear Partner,
We accomplished so much together in 2016— it was truly the Great Year! We have received testimony after testimony of how The LORD responded to your faith for the things you believed to come into your life—divine healing, restored relationships, supernatural increase and so much more! No doubt, many lives have been changed because you put your faith to work. Our God is faithful to give us victory after victory! As you read through this year’s Covenant Partner Report, let your faith be brought up to a new level. He is always ready to join His faith with ours and bring the great and wonderful things of the Kingdom into our lives! Partner, we have been in this life-changing business of bringing the good news to people all over the world for almost 50 years! And as we head into 2017 celebrating 50 years of ministry, we ask you to continue locking arms with us in our ongoing call to train God’s people in His WORD so they can take hold of all He has for them. Our work is the most important work in the world, and together we are getting it done! We look forward to 2017 being a year filled with fabulous outpourings from heaven as we have never known before. Grander and greater—that’s what He does and that’s what we preach to the world! We are so grateful to be doing all He has called us to do together—with you! We love you and declare with you… JESUS IS LORD!

ONE SHARED MISSION
Dear Partner,
A Word from Our CEO
Over the past 49 years, Kenneth Copeland Ministries has seen one life after another forever changed by learning to believe, speak and act on the Word of God. Each time it’s nothing short of a victory—and you are a vital part of making that happen. The Lord spoke to Dad that 2016 would be The GREAT Year! And boy, was it ever! As you read through this 2016 Covenant Partner Report, you’ll be blessed to know you have been instrumental in every single victory. From people like the Mallorys (p. 24) to ministries like Abba House (p. 40) and Living Water Teaching (p. 42), we are truly humbled by all God continues to do through KCM because of faithful partners like you. And when you couple those stories with the number of lives changed by watching the Believer’s Voice of Victory Network, which aired one of our most watched programs of the year—America Stands election coverage in the spirit of faith—there’s no denying that we are making a BIG difference together. So look at what your Partnership accomplished in 2016, then get ready! This next year is our 50th anniversary in ministry and we have much to celebrate with you. Plan now to join us at one of our events, and don’t miss the granddaddy of them all—the Southwest Believers’ Convention July 30 through August 5. Let’s continue spreading the Word, changing lives and reaching the world together. As Mom and Dad will tell you: We’re just getting started! Thank you, Partner!
John Copeland, CEO Kenneth Copeland Ministries

“ I choose to stand on the Word of God”
VICTORY MOMENT
John “As a growing Christian attending Bible college, God put a hunger in my heart that I must be a “man of faith.” And he led me to the ministry of Kenneth Copeland. The BVOV broadcast became my school of faith as I watched the Copelands, learned how to study the Word, and heard the testimonies so often presented. Now I connect through the BVOV online network due to my travels, and continue growing into the man of faith God intends me to be.
I have learned I have to be in the Word for myself. That has to be combined with good teaching, because when you have people who have walked the journey of faith and have continued to walk through the challenges—like what we see in the Copelands—and are able to teach on it using the Word as a center point in a practical way, that gives us a foundation.”

SPREADING THE WORD
AMERICA STANDS America Stands 2016 was the first time Kenneth Copeland Ministries broadcasted live election coverage in the spirit of faith.
It had aired before on the Internet but never on television and across all of KCM’s outlets. America Stands was the Christian alternative to networks and cable stations, which prompted Daystar® and other Christian networks to carry it as well. It turned out to be one of KCM’s most-watched broadcasts in 2016, and it was one of the first programs across any medium to call the presidential election race. The program had many special guests throughout the evening, including some of our nations foremost political and spiritual leaders. David Barton, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Keith Butler were special guest hosts. They joined Kenneth Copeland, hosts Pastors George and Terri Pearsons and the America Stands team in three studios on the property of KCM and EMIC. A 48hour call to prayer preceded the broadcast and continued throughout the evening. History was made as live election results were being shared all in the spirit of faith. This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith!

SPREADING THE WORD
PARTNER LETTER Since 1986, Kenneth has written a monthly letter to his very closest friends – his Partners in ministry. He learned the importance of letter writing from his spiritual father, Oral Roberts, who told him: “I want you to commit to God that every 30 days, for the rest of your life, you will pray in the Holy Ghost until you have something anointed to write to your Partners, just the way Paul wrote to his.” From that time until now, Kenneth has written a letter every month to his friends who are in partnership with him and Gloria. They aren’t money-raising letters—he writes the letters to bless his Partners. Since they are partakers of his grace (Philippians 1:7), he wants to share with them the revelations God has given him. Today, the Partner Letter is one of the most important ministry tools extending from Kenneth Copeland Ministries. It travels the world, providing strength and resulting in thousands of testimonies of salvation, healing, deliverance, restoration and increase.

“I hosted a small group in my home for 10 weeks on Bulldog Faith. I took the notes and created a PowerPoint presentation. We listened to the broadcast, then discussed the notes. It was fun too! We had several great testimonies I would like to share: • One young lady started a new job closer to home and was healed of an issue of blood after a recent miscarriage.
1,612,771 books
2,677,692 digital downloads
Free product offers began on TV in March 2016 which was birthed out of Kenneth’s hearts desire to spread the WORD around the globe.
• Another lady got a new job and was promoted before she ever began working. • A woman’s back was healed, and she forgave her daughter-in-law. • Another lady was healed of arthritis. • A young man who was texting and driving ran off a bridge and was pulled from the wreckage by the homeless people living under that bridge that he had been ministering to. • A woman had a ganglion cyst in the middle of her foot. When she went for an MRI, it showed NOTHING! No surgery required. Now, her faith is so strong, she is receiving her healing from bunions. Thank you for the Bulldog Faith package for FREE! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the notes and all that is included in them! I pray God continually BLESSES you and all of KCM for the great work you are doing for the Kingdom!”

I want to express my gratitude to Kenneth Copeland Ministries. I just finished the Bulldog Faith DVD/ workbook and WHAT A BLESSING! Whether it’s the Believers’ Academy (I’ve done many of the classes) or a CD/DVD workbook series, it is always a “class act.” The workbooks are well-organized and the class download notes are so helpful. I have learned so much from KCM resources. I also received the Kenneth Copeland Bible. Wow, it is beautifully done and I appreciate having it as a reference source. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your gracious generosity.
I realized that Satan has no power over me unless I allow it. I started thinking differently, and listening to the convictions of the Holy Spirit. This brought about a lot of changes in my life. THANK YOU JESUS!

Grace–The Gospel Encouragers “I am a detailed person, good organizer, love people and have a great desire to see others get free of religious bondage and have learned through KCM to let the WORD and Holy Spirit teach me how to serve people Kingdom style. In obedience to the Lord, we physically attend Branson, Southwest, and, D.C. KCM meetings and any others the Lord directs us to. We really appreciate BVOVN. It is such a Blessing to us and I get gold nuggets all day long as I have it running most of the day. In obedience to the Lord in 2009, we started a live conference call Bible Study Fellowship with
the Holy Spirit as the teacher. It is so exciting to see so many lives get out of religious bondage when they let the WORD do the work. We currently have Monday nights with 15 people and the new group Thursday nights have started from the Partner Community. It’s exciting to see how the Lord leads. Our ministry is to disciple people so they may go and help others like the Lord has freed them.”

The tide of HIS GLORY is rising higher and higher
Pastors George and Terri Pearsons
A mighty move of God that began at EMIC in the summer of 2014 has continued to escalate. It is truly a new day for our church. The tide of His glory is rising higher and higher in every service. The Word of faith is being taught in a fresh and mighty way. We continue to experience signs, wonders, miracles, and awesome demonstrations of the Holy Spirit. The gifts of the Spirit are freely flowing.
If you plan to visit or have decided to move here, please call 817-252-2900 for relocation information. There is much to be done as we bring in the harvest of the greatest outpouring of the Spirit we’ve ever seen.
This same move of the Word and the Spirit has taken over our children and youth. The glory of God that has been prophesied is finally here at the Revival Capital of the World—for all the world to see live over BVOVN. As a result, more and more people are moving here from across the United States and the world.
“2016 has indeed been The Great Year at EMIC.”
Expectation for the outpouring is high in every adult service.

Diane “I connected with Kenneth and Gloria Copeland first through their television ministry, then began to attend Believers’ Conventions. Since I learned the principles of God’s economy based on His Word, over the years I have experienced everything from God paying my taxes to His building my counseling career. The Copelands have trained me in the life of faith! My partnership has upheld me, knowing I always have their prayer backup and knowing when I have questions about any area of my life, I can depend on the Lord to use the Copelands and their resources to help me find my answers!”

THE
MALLORY MIRACLE
Tony and Victoria Mallory were excited about expanding their family. But in the second trimester of Victoria’s pregnancy, their faith would be tested with no choice but to seek prayer partners and rely on God. 24
|
EVERY LIFE CHANGED IS A #VICTORY
VICTORY MOMENT
emergency + prayer = one happy family Victoria was pregnant, walking through the mall, and all of a sudden she became immobile. Tony picked her up and rushed her to the hospital. They said a muscle that supports the uterus had torn. In this case, it was very dangerous because the uterus might squeeze through and suffocate the baby and the mother could bleed to death. The doctors wanted to keep Victoria in the hospital for the duration of the pregnancy—but she was only five months along. They had put it in God’s hands. They immediately called Kellie Copeland, and she said, “I’m going to talk to the Lord and I’m going call you back with some answers.” She called back within a few days with scriptures and teachings that they needed to stand on and speak. Victoria ended up staying in the hospital for an entire month and then went to a specialist. There, they ran a series of tests, looked at the records, and the doctor came in and said, “This looks like a perfect pregnancy.” Praise the Lord!
The doctor at the hospital had given her medication to take to dry up the fluids around the baby and had her on it long term. But the specialist informed us that it should have only been taken for one day, so we were concerned too much fluid would have been removed. But when the specialist ran further tests, all the fluid was there. He said they didn’t have to worry about a premature delivery and that everything was normal. The doctor said he didn’t know what happened, but somewhere between Nashville and Memphis, God showed up and He did something amazing. In December, Tony and Victoria welcomed a healthy baby boy into their family.

VICTORY MOMENT
The Power of Confessing the Word “As young Christians, we set out to tell others about Jesus and began preaching the integrity of God’s Word. The gospel is good news and it is the power of God for salvation. We learned early on that we don’t pray the power down; rather we speak the power out! So we preach the gospel out and people are saved, delivered from addictions and sin, and healed of infirmities. We release God’s power to completely transform people’s lives. “We’re seeing many Muslims come to Christ as they respond to the reality of Jesus. When they hear the message that God loves them, and experience night after
night of miracles, it’s no longer a theological issue. A miracle is worth a thousand sermons. They cannot deny Jesus is who He says He is. And that He is for all people without discrimination. “We love seeing people all over the world find the reality and power the Word of God holds for them. This spirit of faith is what makes a difference in people’s lives!”

PRISON MINISTRY
Ladies signing “the Cross brings peace and love.”
For 25 years, Kenneth Copeland Ministries has partnered with Mike Barber Ministries to train and help others change lives in prisons. It was an awesome start to 2016 as Kenneth Copeland and Mike Barber ministered together at the Gurney Unit in Texas—there was a packed house with a huge response. Because of KCM and its faithful Partners, Mike Barber Ministries is able to reach a level of ministry that takes KCM and its Partners into more prisons than ever before. We are truly partners for the kingdom of God! As Mike Barber likes to say: “Save a soul, save a family!” This year alone, thousands of inmates have made a decision to receive Christ and proclaim that “Jesus Is Lord!”

VICTORY MOMENT
“I was released from jail to NEVER RETURN AGAIN as an inmate. Now when I return, it’s as a minister to others who are incarcerated.”
“I was a meth addict for 22 years, and I was in and out of jail for many years. One time while in jail, a KCM prayer minister brought me Kenneth Copeland mini books to read, along with a Faith to Faith devotional. As I read those books along with the Word of God, the Lord began to show me how to apply the Word to my own life. I learned that no matter what my natural situation looked like, God said I was a new creature in Him. Every day that I received a new book from the ministry, I would devour it—I soaked it up like a sponge! God began to transform
my mind and changed me. After just four months, I was released from jail to NEVER RETURN AGAIN as an inmate. Now when I return, it’s as a minister to others who are incarcerated. My heart is passionate about getting the Word into jails and prisons because it’s ONLY GOD who will keep them from ever having to go back again!”

We are BOLD so that others may live VICTORY MOMENT
“In July 2016, Brother Riley spent two hours on a Friday teaching approximately 70 people, from the Word of God, steps for effective witnessing. On Saturday this same group from Redeeming Love Christian Church and other local churches assembled to go out and put into practice what they were taught. In two and one-half hours a total of approximately 300 people received Jesus as their Savior.”
—Redeeming Love Christian Church Member “I’m excited to share that I have won 42 people to the Lord since training with Brother Riley in November of 2016.”
—Patricia Vaughn “I attended my first Believers’ Convention and it was going to be my first time hearing Brother Copeland and Keith Moore in person after listening to them for years. The night before the first day I ran into Brother Riley and introduced myself—he didn’t know me but invited me to check out his evangelism training online. It was two hours long and I sat down and digested it by taking detailed notes. The very next day I went to get my oil changed and I looked over at a lady in the waiting room and the Lord said Go get her saved. After about 10 minutes of arguing with Him, I went for it and just like that she went through the prayer. Since then, I have personally had the privilege of leading nearly 300 people to the Lord. I am so grateful for Brother Riley’s ministry and KCM. It has set me on fire.”

DISASTER RELIEF Partners Helping Partners
With the 2016 storms in Texas, the ground had become over-saturated with water. One morning while Elaine was asleep in bed, she was awakened by a cracking noise. KCM reached out to
149,064
Partners + Friends and traveled to
55 cities
VICTORY MOMENT
Before she could react, the 4-ton tree next to her house collapsed and crushed her home from the roof, through the floor and to the frame of the house. If the tree had fallen just a few feet to the right, it would have crushed her bedroom. Elaine was moved to tears when our KCM Disaster Relief Team arrived and blessed her with financial provisions to make repairs. Continue to pray for our KCM Partners in Houston, and everyone who was affected by the 2016 storms.

Thessaloniki, Greece
I will Not Leave you As Orphans. I will come to you.

EVERY LIFE CHANGED IS A #VICTORY
ABBA House is a children’s home being pioneered and supported by Love to the Nations in Thessaloniki, Greece. The nation of Greece has been hard hit by financial struggles and the refugee crisis in the past few years, which not only has affected adults but children as well. This crisis has resulted in many “social orphans”—children who are separated from their parents’ care due to the inability to care for them. These, along with children who are abandoned and orphaned for other reasons, are why Jenny opened ABBA House. ABBA House is a home where the orphan is no longer an orphan but a child loved by God, their heavenly Father.
Jenny Kutz, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s granddaughter, shares her story about how God led her to open ABBA House, caring for children—spirit, soul and body.

LATIN AMERICA BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA The main purpose in life should be God’s purpose.
“Lord, what do You want us to do for You?” That heartfelt question lingered in the minds of Carlos Acosta and his wife, Nancy Becerra. Planted in Bogotá’s mega-church El Lugar de Su Presencia since 2007, they found themselves filled with a sense that there was something more for them to do and asked God for the next step in their lives. The answer came in 2012, at a time when Carlos was the producer for the national Enlace station, while Nancy worked with World Vision Colombia. The Lord spoke to Carlos: I want you to start a ministry to help other ministries with their media production needs, and take My Word to the nations. Soon after, Carlos was approached by a pastor who needed help with his media efforts. Excited by the opportunity, Carlos agreed to help in a volunteer capacity. But the word about his work started to spread quickly among other church leaders, and soon it became clear that God was calling Carlos and Nancy to something much bigger. Enlarging the Dream “In obedience to God’s direction, we founded Zona 3 Productions,” says Carlos. “We began by writing the vision God gave us on a napkin while sitting in a restaurant!” The new ministry grew quickly, and Carlos and Nancy found themselves busy with their daily ministry activities.

were overjoyed with their God-given assignment, but God was preparing them for another surprise. He was about to enlarge the dream even further. Late in 2015, Zona 3 Productions was referred to the Kenneth Copeland Ministries Latin American office by Pastors José and Elizabeth Magaña, distributors of KCM ministry materials in the region. KCM was about to start the process of producing a daily From Faith to Faith radio segment in Spanish, along with a lengthier teaching broadcast, to establish media efforts in Latin America. Another Dream, Another Milestone Throughout the following months, the combination of KCM local radio broadcast efforts and other Spanish outreaches began to yield fruit, significantly increasing KCM’s reach across Latin America. Higher volume of incoming calls and the multiple time zones across the region made it necessary to open a dedicated Latin American call center to address the needs. Since Nancy had previous experience in that field, it was only natural to engage Zona 3 in the process. The regional KCM call center was launched in early August 2016 fully dedicated to Latin America. Today, the call center receives thousands of inbound calls for prayer and Partner services, and stays in touch through outbound calls to all our Latin American Partners and Friends as well.
Nancy says: “My personal dream had always been to pray for people and serve them. When the idea about a call center came up, I rejoiced in the Lord for His goodness!” Carlos adds, “Serving KCM Partners and Friends is our hearts’ desire, and we get to see God’s hand in action every day. We can testify that when you find God’s purpose for your life, there’s nothing else that can make you happier.”

“I felt called to go see him because he was a member of our church. He didn’t request the visit, so I had to get vetted by the RCMP and the prison’s chaplain. After about three weeks, I was allowed to visit him for about an hour. On my way out the chaplain said, “Who would you like to see next?” I was a bit shocked and taken back because I wasn’t prepared for that. She said, “You’re here to help,

“After a few years of supplying everything myself, I contacted KCM Canada and asked if they had a prison ministry and would be willing to help. They said, “Absolutely!” and started supplying Bibles, BVOV magazines, and so much more. It’s a blessing to partner with KCM and see lives transformed by the Word of God.”

VICTORY MOMENT
In May, Kenneth ministered at Faith Tabernacle Church in Canaanland, Nigeria, and he rejoiced over the thrill of seeing 91,000 people crowd into a 6:30 a.m. service in the middle of the pouring monsoon rains. With 54,000 in the building and 37,000 more in overflow tents outside, it was an awesome sight— and that was just the first service! By the time everything was said and done that Sunday, 394,000 people had shown up for church. At Faith Tabernacle those kinds of numbers aren’t unusual either. The believers there are seriously hungry to hear the Word of God. They’re so full of expectancy, God is moving among them constantly in signs, wonders, and miracles— adding to the church daily as He did in the book of Acts.
What opened the door for all of this to happen out in the middle of a Nigerian jungle? One man got a revelation of his covenant with God and dared to step out on it. One man put worry behind him once and for all, and simply trusted God to do what He said He would do. Talk about a marvelous example of faith! Bishop David Oyedepo has proven the Word will work anywhere for anyone who is willing to believe it and act on it.

“Through the teaching of Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, I can say that I live in a place of financial prosperity and enjoy a blessing of increase on my business and life, but it was not always this way! “We began to apply teaching on tithing and giving and the results were impactful. I became self-employed doing some landscape gardening when a door opened for me to a job as a mechanic in a local company. This was when we started to notice that financially we were beginning to increase. We sowed as we were led by the Holy Spirit and the blessings of a new bathroom and car came. Financially things had become easier for us. “In 2012 when the UK was in a recession, a local man contacted me and offered to sell me his small Bennetts Field Garage business. The business at that time was not in a great financial state and by now I had my two young children to consider. But we purchased the business. We firmly believed that through the revelation on tithing and the giving of seed in faith that God would be there for us. In four years of trading we have the busiest workshop in the town;
when other businesses have no work, we have vehicles lined up and a regular base of returning customers. “We doubled the size of the business recently, taking another step of faith and leasing the adjoining industrial unit. As we step out, God has always been faithful to meet that need and increase our business; there has been no lack.”

“
This coming year. This coming year. This coming year is not going to be anything like anybody has thought up to now. This is a ‘Year of Fabulous Outpourings From Heaven.’ Notable miracles...at the hands of not only ministers in the fivefold ministry, but just among the people. Believers will lay hands on the sick and notable miracles will be
done. But watch for the children. Watch for the children coming forth with miracleworking power manifest around them. And they are just children. And they will be just children. And I’m not talking about 15- to 20-year-olds. Of course, they’re involved. But,” saith The LORD, “watch the little ones. A child shall lead them.” —Word of the Lord, delivered by Kenneth Copeland Friday, September 30, 2016
