Religious ministries often speak about compassion from the pulpit, but few translate that language into hands-on humanitarian work across multiple continents. Kenneth Copeland Ministries has built its outreach arm on the conviction that teaching the Word and meeting physical needs go hand in hand.
During 2025 alone, KCM invested approximately $20 million into 147 ministries and outreach programs worldwide through what it calls twice-sown seed.
In other efforts, KCM’s Disaster Relief teams answered 31 calls for field responses. Prison ministry Partners reached more than 6,000 inmates across five correctional facilities. KCM Africa distributed food containers to 100 families living without running water or electricity.
Each one of those endeavors traces back to the same Partner model that has defined Kenneth Copeland Ministries for nearly six decades. Partners who agree with the ministry’s mission understand how faith-based organizations pay bills and champion outreach.
They consider the ministry’s action, stand in agreement with its mission, and pray about annual contributions. Their faithfulness is multiplied through programs that reach people the ministry will never meet in person.
What Drives KCM’s Outreach Beyond the Pulpit?
Since 1967, Kenneth Copeland has taught that the gospel proves itself in action as much as in word. Matthew 25 anchors the ministry’s approach to humanitarian work, where Jesus identifies Himself with the hungry, the naked, the sick and the imprisoned.
Two mechanisms extend KCM’s outreach beyond its Fort Worth global headquarters. Covenant Partners sow gifts of their choosing that fund teaching, broadcasting, and global reach. There isn’t a financial obligation to be a Partner of Kenneth Copeland Ministries.
Gifts to the ministry are provided from the hearts of millions worldwide who understand KCM’s current mission. Their commitment to twice-sown seed multiplies those gifts by redirecting at least 10 to 15% of every contribution to other ministries carrying focused assignments in prisons, disaster zones, orphanages, food banks and mission fields.
KCM has supported global ministries through this twice-sown seed model every year since 1984. Financial support funds nine primary areas, per the 2025 Covenant Partner Report:
- World Evangelism
- Prison Ministry
- Orphanages and Children’s Outreach
- Food Banks and Family Assistance
- Disaster Response
- Suicide Prevention
- Drug Recovery Programs
- Bible Translation
- Veteran Outreach
Setting Captives Free Through Prison Ministry
Kenneth Copeland Ministries launched its prison ministry in 1995 in partnership with Mike Barber Ministries, an outreach founded specifically to carry the Word of Faith message into correctional facilities. That partnership has continued uninterrupted for three decades and serves more than 250,000 inmates each month.
KCM supplies the printed materials that enable those visits. During 2021, the ministry distributed 304,893 products to chaplains for distribution to prisoners, along with 6,707 additional products sent directly to individual inmates.
Bibles, From Faith to Faith devotionals, monthly Partner Letters written by Copeland himself, and copies of Believer’s Voice of Victory magazine circulate through prison libraries nationwide.
Revivals sit at the center of the partnership. A five-day revival at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in March 2022 drew more than 3,200 men, women and youth, representing over 90% of the prison’s population. Hundreds raised their hands to accept Christ during the services.
“These are [Jesus’] brothers and sisters,” Copeland said during the visit. “They’re incarcerated, but they must know from the Word of the living God that even though they’re in prison, prison doesn’t have to be in them.”
Partnership support in 2025 resulted in 1,939 prison salvations and 319 baptisms across five correctional facilities. Partners helped sow 94,603 pieces of printed material into prisons across the United States during that single year.
One of those stories belongs to Reginald Watts.
He received KCM teaching materials during his 25 years of incarceration. After his release, he became a prison chaplain. His trajectory reflects a promise Copeland received in a 1994 prophecy: “The greatest revival of all shall be in the prisons of the land. Great ministers of the gospel shall come out of prisons all over this nation.”
How Does KCM Feed Children Around the World
Feeding programs form a second pillar of KCM’s outreach, with initiatives spanning continents. Africa-based work and U.S.-based events both translate Partner giving into daily meals for children in vulnerable communities.
Feed Thy Kids in South Africa
Feed Thy Kids, also known as FTK, is a nonprofit daycare serving more than 60 children ages 1 through 5. It operates in a region of South Africa where poverty and unemployment remain widespread.
Attendance is free. KCM Africa fully underwrites meals, faith-based instruction, and daily care for others through twice-sown seed.
FTK runs alongside the broader #KindnessMatters outreach, which KCM Africa uses to coordinate food distribution throughout the country. A partnership with Rhema Faith Life Church produced 250 buckets of groceries for a community in Johannesburg in December 2019. That same month, KCM Africa provided food containers to 100 families in two informal settlements outside Krugersdorp: households living without running water, electricity or reliable income.
Packing Meals in Fort Worth
Closer to home, Eagle Mountain International Church has partnered with U.S. Hunger, formerly known as Feeding Children Everywhere, for large-scale meal-packing events. It coordinates high-volume volunteer sessions that package lentil-based meals for children facing food insecurity.
During one joint event, EMIC hosted more than 160 volunteers from Hope Christian Church who assembled and packed 22,950 meals in a single session. U.S. Hunger’s network distributed those meals across the United States and abroad.
Partners Helping Partners In Times of Need
Natural disasters and crises mobilize KCM through two parallel channels. Its Disaster Relief team, based at the Fort Worth campus, responds to emergencies across the United States. KCM Europe operates the Partners Helping Partners Relief Fund to support international relief efforts.
Disaster Relief call projects completed 31 responses during 2025. Central Texas flooding in July of that year produced the ministry’s most significant domestic effort. More than 12,000 structures were destroyed, and 107 lives were lost in the rushing waters of the Guadalupe River around Kerrville.
KCM deployed five relief trips, sowing more than $200,000 into the community. Food restocked empty pantries, construction materials helped rebuild damaged homes, and a holiday toy drive later that year brought Christmas gifts to children who had lost everything.
“I had never given up on Jesus Christ, but I gave up on man a long time ago,” one flood survivor told the KCM team. After experiencing the ministry’s care, he said his heart was changing.
KCM Europe’s Relief Fund carries the same mission across the Atlantic. It has supported refugee relief in Bulgaria, medical camps in Pakistan, evangelism campaigns in Albania, food banks in the United Kingdom, and humanitarian aid to Ukrainian families. Partner giving channeled more than £16,000 to ministries working directly with Ukrainian refugees crossing into Romania and Moldova during the early months of the war.
Harvest Community Church in London used a timely KCM Europe grant to open its food bank earlier than planned and expand into a delivery service. His Grace Church International in Warrington, England, used another grant to send supplies to suffering Christian communities in Pakistan.
How a Ripple Keeps Spreading
Multiplication anchors the logic behind every KCM outreach worldwide. Copeland calls this twice-sown seed, and he points to it every time Partners ask where their giving ends up.
“When you sow into this ministry, at least 10% of every dollar is intentionally sown again into other ministries with focused assignments,” KCM’s 2025 Covenant Partner Report reads.
A Partner who has never visited Johannesburg helps feed children at a South African daycare. Another who has never stepped foot in a Mississippi prison participates in revivals there. Someone who has never traveled to Ukraine helps refugees cross into Romania.
Each Partner gift reaches 147 ministries.
KCM tracks the harvest of that compounding effect. During 2025 alone, twice-sown ministries and global evangelism teams together reported 10,858,299 salvations. Since KCM began tracking partnership outcomes in 1984, the cumulative total exceeds 161 million.
A Gospel That Moves
Compassion that stays inside a sanctuary cannot reach a prison cell in Mississippi, a daycare in South Africa, or a flooded neighborhood along the Guadalupe River. Kenneth Copeland Ministries has spent nearly six decades proving that the gospel travels.
Every meal packed at Eagle Mountain International Church, every Bible delivered behind bars, every relief trip sent to Kerrville, and every grocery bucket carried into a Johannesburg community begins as a partner gift sown in faith. Twice-sown seed carries it the rest of the way.
Kenneth Copeland still teaches what he taught from the beginning. Faith produces action, and action carries the gospel. Partners around the world have made that promise visible, and the harvest continues to grow.
