Dear Partners and Friends,

Kenneth Copeland Ministries is blessed to have supportive, generous Partners and Friends like you. Because of this, I'm writing to make you aware of accusations that have been made against my parents and the ministry.

Earlier this week, WFAA, the Dallas ABC television affiliate, ran a story that can only be characterized as misleading. Normally we do not respond to these kinds of allegations. However, there are times when one must take a stand. This is one of those times.

Kenneth Copeland Ministries has been, and always will be, a ministry of integrity. Our ministry's goal remains clear: to bring people around the world from the milk to the meat of the Word of God. We are committed to meeting this goal with the highest ethical standards.

In response to the allegations:

• Every prayer request is answered promptly. We receive 6,000-7,000 letters per day, many of which have multiple prayer requests. Each request is individually read and prayed for several times. Here's how it works:

The mail is prayed over as it arrives every day. The requests then move through the ministry data center where each letter is read and receives a response specific to the need. Each request is then viewed by three full-time intercessors. These intercessors pray every day over these requests.

In addition, Mom and Dad, and a group of ministers, pray every day for Partners, Friends and staff of KCM.

• Our reach is global. Our Prayer Department and Customer Service Department receive 1.1 million pieces of incoming mail and send 6.4 million pieces of mail every year. They answer 500,000 calls annually, and make 450,000 calls to Partners and Friends.

Contributions from our Partners and Friends are used to help more than 100 ministries, as well as churches, orphanages, youth programs, inmates and rehabilitation centers in over 120 countries. KCM ministers to more than 5,000 pastors annually through teaching materials, personal outreach meetings and personal ministry phone calls. The Believer's Voice of Victory (BVOV) magazine is sent to more than 135 countries, and the Believer's Voice of Victory broadcast is viewed daily on 615 stations around the world.

The accomplishment of this enormous vision is only possible through the collective effort of the hundreds of staff members within our ministry.

• We practice fiscal responsibility. As good stewards of what God places in our hands, we are accountable to God and our Partners and Friends.

We have an outside board of directors that provides governance and oversight to our ministry, and we undergo an annual, independent audit.

We invite you to visit our Web site to view our financial accountability statement and examine how your money is distributed.

• We operate openly and legally. We have received a request for information from the United States Senate Committee on Finance. We respect the Committee's right to raise issues that could impact the public. We have no quarrel with that right. However, as a church organization, we are required only to share our information with the Internal Revenue Service. We operate our church in full compliance with IRS guidelines.

We are very diligent in protecting the privacy of our Partners and Friends. We will not participate in a public spectacle. We operate our ministry with privacy - not secrecy.

As we continue to do what the Lord has called us to do, we want you to know how much we love and appreciate you. Without the love and support of our Partners and Friends, our accomplishments would be small. But when we are united in our efforts, we can change the world.

We care about you, and we're here for you.

JESUS IS LORD!

Sincerely,

John Copeland
Chief Executive Officer
