“There is no price too big, no effort too great, no job too hard for our God to reach our children. Whatever we must do, we are going to reach our kids.”
Kenneth Copeland said it, and over the years, you, our KCM Partners and Friends, have been helping us accomplish that goal through your faithful prayers and financial support.
For close to 20 years, KCM has been producing books, devotionals, magazines, tapes, CDs, music videos and movies specifically designed to minister to children around the globe.
The Superkids and Wichita Slim Are Born
The idea for Commander Kellie and the Superkids was birthed in the 1980s, and the first Superkids adventure audiotape was released in 1989. Three more audiotape adventures followed. By 1992, the first Commander Kellie and the Superkids movie, The Intruder, had been released. That same year, Wichita Slim (Kenneth Copeland’s western character) made his first appearance, to the delight of young audiences all over the world.
“We set out to do full-length motion pictures, and in those motion pictures, train and teach the power of the Word of God,” Brother Copeland explained.
The next Superkids movie, The Armor of Light, debuted in 1995, followed by The Sword in October 1997. Then, in May 1999, Judgment: The Trial of Commander Kellie-the most recent Superkids movie-was released.
A powerful film, Judgment was built around Revelation 12:11: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony….”
“The Lord told us to make this film about the blood of Jesus,” Kellie Copeland, a.k.a. Commander Kellie, shared.
Premieres of Judgment were held around the world following the movie’s initial release, and thousands of children came to Jesus.
Something to SHOUT! About
In addition to audio teachings and movies, KCM began reaching out to children via print in April 1993, when the first children’s comic page appeared in the Believer’s Voice of Victory magazine. By May 1994, that single page had grown into an entire full-color magazine just for children, called Shout! The Voice of Victory for Kids. The subscription list for the comic-book-style magazine grew from about 5,000 early on to more than 150,000 when its last issue was distributed in 2006.
Funds that were being used to produce Shout! are now being funneled into other faith-filled products for children, adding to our library that already includes: The Faith Adventures of Wichita Slim videos and books; Baby Praise and Baby Praise Christmas; The Superkids novels; The Shout! Super-Activity Book; Noah’s Ark Coloring Book; Over The Edge, a daily devotional for teens; and so much more.
KCM’s commitment to children remains strong. From special children’s ministry at Believers’ Conventions to new power-packed products, God is using KCM to reach, teach and equip children worldwide.
