The life
Kim Clement (September 30, 1956 – November 23, 2016) was a South African–American Charismatic prophet, songwriter, musician, and the founder of House of Destiny (church) and The Den (online prophetic broadcast platform, 2008–2016). Born in Johannesburg, he experienced a dramatic conversion as a teenager (after a violent assault and drug overdose) and migrated to the United States to develop his ministry. His distinctive method combined spontaneous prophecy, improvised musical performance, and prophetic songs delivered in real-time on stage.
He was associated with the New Apostolic Reformation stream and held the apostolic-prophetic-offices-continue framework. He died of a brain tumor in 2016. His daughter Donné Clement Petruska has continued House of Destiny and curates her father's prophetic-archive material publicly. His prophecies, particularly specific predictions about Donald Trump (recorded 2007 and 2015 prior to Trump's first presidency), have generated substantial discussion in evangelical-prophetic circles, including post-2024-election reassessment.
What was happening while he lived4 moments · 1930–today
- 1958The widows go backElisabeth Elliot, with her toddler daughter Valerie, and Rachel Saint, Nate's sister, went to live in the Waorani settlement, among the men who had done the killing. Years later two of those men baptized Nate Saint's son and daughter in the same river.
- 1966–1976The Cultural RevolutionRed Guards closed the last open churches, burned Bibles, and sent pastors to labor camps. Watchman Nee, imprisoned since 1952, died in a camp in 1972. Public Christianity in China effectively ceased, and the faith moved into kitchens and back rooms, where it was never counted.
- July 1974The Lausanne CongressAbout 2,700 Christians from 150 nations met in Switzerland at Billy Graham's invitation. The Anglican John Stott drafted the resulting covenant; the missiologist Ralph Winter's address put "unreached peoples" on the map; and Latin Americans like René Padilla and Samuel Escobar pressed the point that preaching and mercy are not rivals.
- Autumn 1989Candles in Leipzig, and the wall comes downMonday peace prayers had gathered for years at the Nikolaikirche under pastor Christian Führer. On October 9 about seventy thousand people, the figure the city's own contemporary reports give, walked out of that neighborhood carrying candles past armed police, and not a shot was fired. The Berlin Wall opened a month later, on November 9.
