Meet the Founder

The founder, Kenneth Popken (a US citizen) graduated from VWMTC missionary training center in Tulsa Oklahoma in 1986 and received his B.A in Christian Ministry from Indiana Christian University under the late American Apostle/Evangelist Lester Sumrall in South Bend Indiana. Kenneth has lived internationally for over 29-years (serving 14-years in the Philippines as an international minister) and has traveled throughout Asia since 1988 on multiple ministry tours.
Kenneth’s wife Helen Popken (a dual US and Korean citizen) attended Hampstead Bible School in London England in 1987. This bible school was founded by the late British Prophet/Teacher-Howard Carter. Helen then returned to Korea where she oversaw a fellowship (for about five years) which she named Agape International Fellowship. This was a fellowship of overseas workers in Seoul that met in the administration building of David Yonggi Cho’s Yoido Full-gospel Church in Seoul South Korea.
Kenneth met Helen when he was invited to minster in her fellowship. They married in March 1997 at the US Embassy in Seoul Korea and after marriage Helen came to the Philippines with Kenneth where she helped him in founding a bible school. They currently reside near Yeoungdong City, South Korea as International ministers.
Life Coaching by God’s Word
The word of God is filled with wisdom for living which covers both natural matters (such as financial management and child raising) as well as spiritual matters which effect humans in the life to come. Kenneth teaches the principles of God’s word (covering a wide array of topics) which give “life-instructions” to help people experience a life of peace and order and prosperity.
Life coaching means that someone is able to give counsel or advice or guidance to others and when these counselees follow this advice then they will prosper and do well in life. Another term for the same thing would be to call such a counselor a “mentor” who is able to mentor others in the pursuit of success. The definition of “true success” is that a person has found their ordained place (doing the thing that best suits them). They become successful by remaining in that area for which God has ordained them to be. See the link “Remain in Ordained Place” for more details.
This process of counseling people and also helping them find their ordained place is based upon the principle that God has a specific plan and purpose for each individual. When that person discovers their specific place in God, then they will experience the fulfillment that comes from being in their specific “station in life” which they were created to fulfill. See the link “Led by the Spirit of God” for more details.
Purpose of this Website
The purpose of this website and the purpose of the entire ministry of Kenneth Popken is to provide people with “Life Coaching Advice” which is based upon the principles of God’s word (the bible). The principles of God’s Word for living are also necessary in supplying the needed “moral foundation” which is an essential part of nation building. No nation can experience lasting success if they do not have a solid moral foundation from God’s word to guide them.
Reversing the Curse of Childlessness
All of our endeavors as a group are aimed at causing young men to prosper so they can afford to marry and start a family. The bible says that children are a blessing from the Lord and we seek to reverse the curse of childlessness that is currently pushing South Korea toward extinction.
