When peopleneed to know how to get out of bondage, fear and pain—whenthey need answers to change their situations—encouragementis helpful, but it’s the Word of God that will give them thepower›to experience lasting change and live successfully.’”Staffed to SucceedThe BVOV broadcast began May 27, 1979, under the direction of TerriCopeland Pearsons. As the first producer, she understood the importance ofbelieving God by faith—a cornerstone of the TV department today. Now,31 years later, about 40 TV and engineering staff members produce KCM’sbroadcasts from start to finish. This includes recording the broadcasts inthe studio or at meetings, producing special segments, translating, editingand even closed-captioning. They produce more than 5300 programs eachyear for the various versions—that’s more than 100 per week! In addition totraveling to meetings, which requires 187 on-the-road production days (and55,000 miles), this talented team spends an average of 65 days per year inon-site recording sessions.“We have a strong team in place,” said Higgins, “staff members with theskill set, spiritual maturity and heart to serve that provide the supply to corporatelyget the job done well.”Proclaiming the WordKCM’s television department knows the importance of its role in theministry. The broadcast introduces viewers to the vast, life-changingresources KCM offers through its Web site, products, magazine, meetingsand 24-hour prayer line.This group of dedicated, faith-filled professionals keeps the vision of proclaimingGod’s Word before them. They pray before each recording sessionand continually throughout meetings. Their prayers, in conjunction with thefervent prayers of our Partners, are powerful and effective (James 5:16).One Partner recently wrote: “It was your program that gave me hope andhelped me begin changing my ways and turning my life around. One day, flippingthrough the channels, I saw Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis and JerrySavelle dressed in black motorcycle gear with motorcycles on the stage. Notonly did that catch my attention, but Kenneth said that God loves you just asyou are. Everything he said that day was what I needed to hear. He taught ona level I could understand for the first time in my life. KCM has been such ablessing to me through the years. I have grown because of your simple, downto-earthteaching. I am so glad we crossed paths over the television.”Testimonies continue to pour in to the ministry, telling of God’s miracleworkingpower through the BVOV broadcast.
