WHO IS KIM CLEMENT?

He is not really an evangelist, or a pastor, or even a missionary, although he has worked


in all of these areas. Try as you might, to simply put him in a typical institutional category is an
impossible task. Many have called him prophet, but to simply call him a prophet is not even
enough because of the unfortunate stigma attached to that title. Part of the journey to
understanding Kim Clement is a lesson in understanding the uniqueness of his destiny. He is
not a doom and gloom prophet with an apocalyptic forecast every three years; instead, he is a
voice of hope to those who need it the most. He is able to paint a picture of destiny that
inspires instead of frightens those who catch a glimpse. He has found a way to define again
what it is to be a true prophet.

Kim's prophetic gift is a magnet that has drawn a broad audience. He has whispered to
kings and inspired prisoners. His diverse, extemporaneous perspective has gained him a
notoriety that transcends culture, race and religion, placing him onto a world platform. While
Kim's ministry is unorthodox by "institutional standards," it is firmly grounded in both the Old
and New Testament scriptures, as detailed extensively in Corinthians, Samuel, and Kings. The
prophet is one who sees beyond present circumstances, giving access to future events. He
refuses to be controlled by fear, error, or mistake; but rather, the prophet makes a courageous
demand on the ability to progress. This cannot be done without a glimpse into the future,
which is the purpose of the prophet.

Kim believes that prophecy has the potential to ultimately become a “collection of heroic
and historical acts” which become an inheritance left for the next generation. He believes that
the prophet is an instrument of God, a bringer of hope and enrichment in times of despair and
famine. Kim is no stranger to times of despair, he was addicted to heroine by the time he was
17, immersed in the rock scene of the seventies, and dying in a ditch outside of a South African
bar when he found Jesus in the most unexpected of places. This was the moment that changed
his life, redirected him and took him around the globe.

His journey through the realms of theology and musical expression took him to varying
platforms: from schools to clinics, to storefront churches and country chapels. He has brought a
message of hope to those trapped in the cycle of hurt and shame that accompany the trials of
life. Kim's mission is to present Christ in a way that is appealing to all people and to reach the
unreachable and touch the untouchable with a message of hope, enrichment and the healing
of haunting memories. Our call is to deliver this relevant message to the outcast, the rejected,
the dignitaries and religious leaders around the world, corporate chiefs and blue-collar
workers, (young and old alike), regardless of social stature. Many who seek this message are in
despair, and often this message is their last hope. The goal is to inspire, not reject; to lift up,
not to put down. Instead of trying to control and manipulate through fear, the goal is to set
free through the promise of a better future, through the renewing of the mind.

Kim currently resides in Southern California with his wife Jane and nine children -
Donne’, Jacquelyn, Caleb, Elizabeth, Jakob and their four newly adopted children from China,
Li-Ann, Mia, Kimberlyn and Matt-Yong.
