Kenneth Copeland
Kenneth Copeland is fun to watch. He enjoys preaching. He paces up and down
the stage when speaking, and he loves to make his audience laugh. His audiences
get into the fun-filled spirit of it all—they chuckle, roar, whistle, and
applaud. Copeland loves it, and he pours on his special brand of Spirit-filled,
good-humored gospel in response. But he is not good-humored about the dead, dry
churches of the respectable mainline and the safe, sane gospel they preach. He
likes churches and people who believe in healing, speaking in tongues, expecting
miracles, and letting it all hang out for Jesus, homespun and high-powered. He
made his television ministry debut in 1979, and he is already seen on
thirty-eight stations, with more being added as fast as time can
be bought. He is a zestful pilot and motorcyclist and probably will keep on
moving as fast as he can in television, too.
