About Us
Who we are
Our Story
From its inception, KDCN has been a story of growth, faith, and transformation. Beginning as a small initiative to reach students, the ministry grew to include campus-based fellowships under the name The Troops Campus Network (TCN). This movement started at the Federal University of Oye Ekiti in 2021 and quickly spread to other institutions, focusing on the principles of community, prayer, and spiritual growth.
In 2024, KDCN rebranded to reflect its expanded focus, reaching beyond campuses to include individuals of all ages and backgrounds worldwide. Today, KDCN thrives as a global network, united by a shared vision to transform lives and advance God’s kingdom.
Welcome to Kingdom Drive Christian Network (KDCN), a vibrant and dynamic family of believers committed to sharing the life-transforming message of Christ. Founded in 2009 as The Troops Ministries (TTM), our journey began with a clear mission: to reach teenagers and secondary school students by distributing free daily devotionals. This initiative laid the foundation for a ministry dedicated to transforming lives through the Gospel. Over time, we expanded our vision, evolving into a global network that rebranded in 2024 as KDCN—a name that reflects our broader mandate to equip individuals for impactful kingdom expressions across all spheres of life.

At KDCN, we envision raising an army of young Christians, discipled and equipped for multifaceted and multi-generational kingdom leadership.
