Christian ladies movement with an
agenda to restore the culture of the
Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth.
Its vision is to nurture and develop
young women through mentorship
to have a strong sense of love, iden-
tity and purpose. Let me explain the
name to you.
Kingdom: We belong to the King-
dom of God and we understand the
values and the culture of the King-
dom we are living in.
Ladies: We are ladies who are re-
fined, cultured, well-mannered and
graceful.
Diplomats: We’re representing
heaven in this earthly realm. This
gives us a sense of purpose. That’s
basically KLD for you.
TCM: Being the CEO and Founder
of the Kingdom Lifestyle Pageant,
can you tell us what it is all about?
GTK: The pageant is an initiative of
Kingdom Lady Diplomats and the
focus is to project ‘heaven’s cul-
ture’. This was actually a mandate
given through my husband in Au-
gust 2015, that the Lord wanted
me to do this. The maiden edition
came off earlier this year on 14th
July 2018.
Jesus commanded in Mark 16:15
that we ‘go into all the world and
preach the Gospel’. The “world”
is from the Greek word Kosmos,
which denotes systems; like the
arts and entertainment, media, re-
ligion, business and finance, family,
education, government and family.
Jesus’ instruction was thus….”pen-
etrate these systems and influence
them with haven’s culture”. KLP
has penetrated the pageantry sys-
tem (arts and entertainment) to
influence it with heaven’s blissful
lifestyle: its godly wisdom, power,
glory, healthy moral standards and
the total wellbeing for humanity.
Many young ladies aspire to be in
pageants, which though not evil in
itself has turned out to be so be-
cause of misplaced values and self-
ish motives. Unlike other pageants,
our emphasis is more on inner quali-
ties, high moral standards and man-
ifestation of kingdom values rather
than mere physical beauty.
KLP entails intensive grooming/
mentoring sessions, where ladies
are taught Kingdom standards, ef-
fective communication, purpose
discovery, personal branding, true
identity, influential leadership and
anything that will make them com-
plete (holistic) and live effectively
in the world, just as God intended it
to be. The ‘pageant’ is just the ‘icing
on the cake’ because once you par-
ticipate, even before you get to the
finals, you have the chance to em-
bark on a project that will positively
affect lives. By this we are fulfilling
the great commission in style. Our
focus is on ladies in the tertiary in-
stitutions because that’s the ‘melt-
ing pot’ of character formation, but
where a lot of ignorance thrives.
