Housing
3ABN has graciously offered us use of all their guest housing, RV sites, and tenting sites on their campus. They are available on a first-come basis. Because space is limited on the campus as well as in the recording and filming schedule, registration is by application.
We look forward to spending this time together where we can each personally grow in Jesus through His Holy Word! Any questions, please email: info@scripturesinger.com or text Charles Cleveland at: (423) 290-3737.
3ABN has been airing the undiluted 3 Angels’ Messages for forty years all over the world. Recently my wife and I accepted leadership roles in 3ABN Canada and we are eager to expand the reach of 3ABN as it shares the gospel in a much larger way in Canada. We are seeing big opportunities, including starting this new 3ABN Canada channel, July 1, 2024.
At this retreat we will produce broadcast content directed by the 3ABN Canada team. It will help us meet the Canadian government requirement for Canadian-produced content. We want to thank each of you for your help.

“Special Thanks”
Jae Hyeon An loves memorizing Scripture. A few years ago he found our Scripture Singer app and offered to help with its development. A year ago, recognizing the app needed updating, he boldly offered to completely rebuild the Scripture Singer app. Over the past year, Jae has spent countless hours programming, testing, and rebuilding our app while interacting with our Scripture Singer team. The amazing thing is that none of our team have ever had the privilege of meeting Jae! Join us in welcoming him as he travels from New York City to meet the Scripture Singer family at our Filming Retreat at 3ABN in July!
3ABN Interview
In January, Scripture Singer was featured in a “3ABN Today” program with the LaVerde family. We thank you and your family for sharing your Scripture Singer experience!

New Filming
The Shear Family hosted our Scripture Singer/3ABN Canada crew on their property as we geared up for our filming in July. We hope to share their songs on our YouTube channel soon!
New Books of the Bible to Music
David Gomez is a young man who grew up near Windsor, Ontario—with a family network of scripture memory enthusiasts. He has the entire book of Hebrews and Daniel memorized in song! These books were put to music by various family and friends, but he has agreed to spend this summer recording and editing so that these new books of the Bible can be added to the app! Please consider donating to make this possible and also pray for David as he works on this important project!
Testimonial
I have been listening for some years to Scripture Singer. It has improved my hours of meditation. Also it has inspired me in making my own scripture songs. What I love the most in my experience with the app is that I can exercise with listening to the songs! In the morning for certain duties the songs just naturally come to mind and I talk with God about them. The promises of God in song are wonderful for our experience. Thank you for fulfilling the command to share the word in song. We need more of it! (May, 2024)
