Joe Engelkemier

Joe Engelkemier joined the Adventist Church through the influence of a former Seventh-day Adventist who was teaching an eight-grade country school in Oklahoma. When Joe was in grade 10, the teacher sent the names of her upper-grade students, which included Joe's brothers Bob and Don, to the Voice of Prophecy (VOP) for the junior Bible lessons. Joe enrolled in the senior course.

In response to a question Joe asked, the VOP sent him Uriah Smith's book The Prophecies of Daniel and Revelation. "The picture of the three angels at the beginning of the chapter about Revelation 14 led me to decide to join the church symbolized by those three angels." Eventually, Joe and both his brothers and sister Betty were baptized.

Joe has had an extensive writing career. During the 1960s he wrote two reading course books: Ready to Answer and Really Living. He also wrote an adult morning devotional book for 1972, Prepare the Way. From 1970 to 1974, Joe helped editor Richard Harris develop the Breakthrough series published by Pacific Press.(r) Other writing includes about one hundred articles written mostly as series for the Review and Youth's Instructor.

Though now retired, Joe loves doing things with youth. He and his wife sponsored the Skyliner Club, at Glendale Adventist Academy, between 1954 and 1968 and made about sixty outings - including two 10-day pack trips in Yosemite, climbing Mt. Whitney, hiking into the Grand Canyon, and many snow-skiing and water-skiing trips.

During the '70s Joe held many academy weeks of prayer and currently loves taking Andrews University youth to conduct prayer and ministry conferences around the country.

"One of my greatest joys is praying for and with youth - pleading that God will send deep movings of the Holy Spirit now - and then working with them to conduct prayer and ministry conferences. Joel 1:28-30 convinces me that youth will be used by God to help bring about the final revival of godliness we so urgently need."
