Messenger 60 Project
My father, Kenneth Engle (KenEngle.com) went to the Philippines in 1944 as a tail gunner on a B-24 bomber. During his time flying over, watching for other aircraft, and dropping bombs, he prayed that the Lord would one day allow him to be a messenger and start a church(s) in the Philippines. He came back to the USA in 1945 on a stretcher - attended Moody Bible Institute, returned to the Philippines in 1951, and was involved in encouraging and starting local churches. 4 of his and my mother Marylou Engle's 6 kids including me - were born there.
He was in radio broadcasting for many years, producing over a thousand programs that can all be heard on the internet today. We even have a 24-hour radio station on PlymouthBrethren.org where you can listen to his programs.
When he started in the Philippines audio ministry as they traveled about looked like this for those who did nor have access to a radio:
I also have an audio Bible project working right now. We are seeking to get audio Bibles into the hands of people around the world, and we are going to start with the Philippines.
This particular audio Bible has several key features:
- It contains the entire 66 books of the Bible in both English and Tagalog. It is NASB (New American Standard Bible). Dad used many different translations including a Catholic one (Knox Translation). He saw many people gloriously saved, some from a Roman Catholic bible!
- There are 60 gospel messages by Pastor Charles Stanley In both languages
• It has a built-in AM radio receiver
• It includes a flashlight with 3 levels of brightness , earphones included and a usb-c charging able to recharge with a laptop
plastic ziplock type case to protect from water and can be heard well inside the plastic
- It is solar rechargeable, so laying it out in the sunlight will recharge it during the day.
- It has information on how to receive the radio broadcasts of Kenneth Engle on shortwave and the internet. Future devices may have his programs included also.
In our family growing up, we were encouraged to memorize the scriptures. The very first scripture that I memorized was Romans 8:1: "There is therefore now no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
Those verses have stayed with me my entire life. The verses that are memorized by the folks involved with this program will stay with them their entire lives, and they will pass them along to their family and friends.
This is a ministry/messenger project where these devices will be earned.
Local churches in the Philippines will encourage children, teenagers, college students, and career people to learn the scriptures. There will be a list of 60 verses for them to memorize. Once they memorize these 60 verses, they will receive this device at no charge, and it will last them for the remainder of their lives. The volume is loud enough that people can gather around the device to hear the scriptures in their own language, while also having a light and an AM station to get the news.
If you are in the Philippines (or in the United States but from the Philippines) and would be interested to be a "MMC" (Messenger and Memorization Coordinator), please send me your testimony by email and a little about you.
There will be information and link on the device with where to hear the Kenneth Engle radio archive online.
At this time, we are providing these devices at no charge. If you are interested, please email me at: kengle86@gmail.com and tell me a little about yourself, your local church, and how many devices you can use and I will get information to you about the memorization program.
We will be in prayer about sending those to you. It typically takes between 60 and 90 days for us to get them out.
Also if any may be interested in the costs of the program they can email me as well. We do not currenly have a 501 (c) (3) set up but very well may in the future. Any donations currently to the "KEEPM" program are non tax deductible.
Even if you are not in the Philippines, you may send an inquiry and we can keep you in mind for future worldwide distribution planned in the future.
If you would like a demonstration of the device, I am hoping to put together some further videos showing how it operates. Please be in prayer about this project.
This is the Kenneth Ercil Engle Philippines Messengers 60 project.
