Immediate Harvest: A Partner’s Story of Record-Breaking Business

They came expecting.

Long-time Partners with Kenneth Copeland Ministries, Jerry and Connie Hepler knew this moment was going to be something special. Having traveled from Florida where they have a business building custom swimming pools in the greater Sarasota area, they sat in the audience with their seed money ready.

The location was Fort Worth, Texas, at the 2023 VICTORYTHON; they sat on the set with the live audience, as Pastor George Pearsons and Brother Jesse Duplantis spoke of how the offering given in that moment would be a substantial one.

The Heplers listened intently as Pastor George said, “I feel like there is someone in the audience that wants to sow their seed, and we haven’t given them an opportunity. So, we’re going to do that right now.”

This was their moment.

Connie had the check in her purse, so she grabbed the prepared offering, and they went forward, handing over the seed. This was their point of contact for releasing their faith, much like the woman mentioned in Mark 5:27: “She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe. For she thought to herself, ‘If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.’”

The word Pastor George and Brother Jesse were sensing from the Lord was there would be immediate results for the Partners and Friends that had sown their seed that night. The Heplers received that word, believed it for themselves, and they thanked God for it.

They flew back to Florida, and by the time they had landed, Jerry had a text from his sales manager, stating that they had a confirmed contract signing for Friday.

And Monday.

And possibly two more beyond that.

On Friday, they also experienced something that had not happened before: Someone walked into their office, asked for a quote, then signed a contract right there on the spot! Jerry Hepler stated, “I’ve been doing pools my whole life; that’s never happened.” However, it happened again two weeks later.

Within the next month, they had twelve people come in and buy pools. According to Hepler, “It was quantitative. We sowed at VICTORYTHON and then…it was just like, boom.” The number of pools they sold post-VICTORYTHON were about a third of the pools they had sold that entire year, and they were sold in just a two-week period.

Hepler states that he needs the Lord’s help every day, because what they do requires a lot of coordination. “You ask [God] for help, and He always comes through.”

Hepler once asked the Lord about Him always coming through and answering every time. The Lord’s response was Partnership. “He [said], ‘You put My things as valuable, so I do the same for yours.’” This lifestyle of partnering with God and seeing Him partner with them overflowed into their partnership with KCM…and the resulting harvest overflowed right back!
