Ken and Mary Lou Engle saved everything: diaries kept almost every day for sixty years, thousands of letters, slides and tapes. About ten years ago their son Kevin gave the hard copies to Gordon so he could read them. Gordon has been reading it all and writing the family short, true stories. This series gathers those stories in five page-turning volumes. New stories are added as they come.
Our Family's Prayer Card, about 1972
The card Ken and Mary Lou sent to the friends who prayed for the work in the Philippines.

KEE Philippine Missions
The work Ken and Mary Lou began goes on through keepm.org: a 24-hour gospel radio station playing Ken's messages, and solar audio Bibles for those who memorize sixty verses or complete correspondence courses such as What the Bible Teaches from Emmaus Bible Ministries.
Then and now
That mission goes on: taking the gospel to the Philippines on digital Bibles through keepm.org. Kevin is getting ready to go back for the first time since 1993.
An In Touch Messenger audio Bible: solar-powered and loaded with Scripture. The goal of keepm.org is to put devices like this into a million Filipino hands. Each one comes with earbuds and a USB charging cable.
Tap the front of the device for Charles Stanley Radio. Pastor Charles Stanley's messages are on the devices keepm.org will be giving away. The In Touch Messenger is produced by In Touch Ministries, Atlanta, Georgia. Tap the back for the 60 verses a boy or girl memorizes to receive one.
