Kenneth Copeland is a 74-year-old Texas televangelist who had a Top 40 hit in the late 50’s called Pledge of Love and sang on American Bandstand. Copeland later attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. His ministry sits on a 1500-acre campus near Forth Worth and includes:
500-employees and a budget in the tens of millions of dollars
a private airstrip
an airplane hangar
a $17.5 million jet and other aircraft
a $6 million church-owned lakefront mansion
an oil and natural gas company with reserves valued at $23 million last year
Copeland maintains veto power over anything his board of directors decides.
More than a dozen of his relatives were on the church's payroll 14 years ago.

It is easy to question and judge what we really do not have intimate knowledge of. I happen to know first hand that this man and his ministry gives millions of dollars every year for evangelistic campaigns around the world!! If he and his ministry is of man, it will fail. If it is from God, beware lest we find ourselves fighting against God!!
