It was 1974, and Kim Clement lay dying in front of a bar on a dirty street in South Africa.

He had always been a talented musician; by the age of 17 he had studied classical music through The Trinity College of Music. A few months previous, he had been a finalist in the South African Yamaha Music Competition while working on, and completing, a film score for a major motion picture.

That night, his life drained from a knife wound to his chest. After scores passed by, a stranger picked him up, carried him to his car, and drove him to a hospital. The stranger was a Christian.

"I was in a nightclub and someone walked up to me and stabbed me in the chest. In my confusion, I staggered out into the street and collapsed. I remembered then what an Anglican minister had said to me when I was 9 years old. He said, ‘Jesus walks the streets still today. One day you will need him, just call on him and he will touch you’”. (Kim Clement)

Months later, Kim went to the house of a man he had met at an Afrikaans church.

“We began to pray aloud, and suddenly a tidal wave of powerful presence washed over me. It was as if I had been immersed in fire and rain at the same time.” (Kim Clement)

Kim’s journey through the realms of theology and musical expression took him to varying platforms: from schools and 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.

Today, Kim’s mission is to present Christ in a way that is appealing to all people.

“I bring the message of God to entrepreneurs, entertainers, politicians, scientists, blue collar, white collar, dog collar, and children alike by communicating the thoughts and words of God to them by means of “the gift” given to me from the Spirit.” (Kim Clement)
