Why the name “We Care Broadcasting Network”?

God speaks to Dr. Charles Kent in acronyms, and the first acronym he ever received was C.A.R.E. – Concerned About Reaching Everyone. If you look in Acts chapter 6, we see Philip, chosen by the multitude as one of seven men who were considered wise and unprejudiced and could meet the practical needs of all the believers regardless of their language or background.

Two chapters later in Acts chapter 8, we see him going down to the city of Samaria, (Philip being a Jew, and the Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans) and proclaiming to them the Christ. The next thing we see in chapter 8, is Philip chasing down a chariot with an Ethiopian eunuch, at the instruction of an angel of the Lord, that he might expound the scriptures to him.

Philip was then seen in Azotus, Caesarea, and in Macedonia, the foremost district of a Roman Colony. He then moved on to Toras, Galilee, and on to Bethsaida, and Nazareth. He traveled to all people in all lands, spreading the Word of the Lord. The “Spirit of Philip” is one that crosses all cultural, relational, and social boundaries, to bring Christ to the world, and this is the foundation of WCBN.

Mark 16:15 (MSG) “Then He said, “Go into the world. Go everywhere and announce the Message of God’s good news to one and all.”

Luke 14:23 (KJV) “And the Lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”

Matthew 28:19-20 (AMP) “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”

The message is clear, that God has given us a mandate to “GO ” into ALL THE WORLD and to reach all people everywhere preaching His Word. WCBN enables us to reach all people everywhere across the entire globe. 

Dr. Charles and Juleane Kent, are co-founders of We Care Broadcasting Network (WCBN).

Dr. Charles Kent was born and raised on the south side of Chicago, in the volatile 1950’s. He underwent a profound transformation in April 1974 when he embraced Christ. His journey is a testament to divine intervention; once a gangster and drug addict, he emerged as a beacon of hope. A decorated Vietnam Veteran and Purple Heart recipient, Dr. Kent served his country as a US Marine in South Vietnam. Guided by the wisdom of Elder Davis and Mother Roberts of Morgan Park Assembly, he honed his calling. As a fifth-generation preacher ordained in 1980, he earned a Doctoral Degree in Pastoral Studies, alongside a Master’s in Christian Education, Social Work, and Anthropology.

Dr. Kent is an author, possessing a unique gift with words, particularly in crafting acronyms and acrostics that bring the Word of God alive to the reader.

Dr. Kent is an Apostle, called to the nations, carrying with him a strong teaching anointing. His global travels, spanning five continents, echo the apostolic fervor of his mentor, Dr. Garnet M. Budge, whose legacy he ardently upholds.

Juleane Kent lived her early years in Brisbane, Australia. Her family moved to Lismore, where she spent the majority of her teen years, before moving back to the Brisbane area. Both of Juleane’s parents were in the ministry. Her father, Dr. Garnet M. Budge, was an Apostle and went home to be with the Lord in January 2012. Her mother, Pastor Bette Budge now 95 years of age, continues to be a powerhouse for the Kingdom of God. She is gifted in music with a prophetic anointing and served as Music Director for over 40 years.

Juleane was saved at 2, baptized in the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues at age 4, and baptized in water at age 6. She grew up learning to pray for the sick and cast out demons from an early age. By the age of 7, she was already involved in music ministry. She led her first home group at age 12, taught Sunday School into her early 20s, and began preaching and teaching the Word of the Lord at 16 years of age.

Juleane worked as the administrator of her father’s church and global minister’s network for over 35 years and was installed as senior pastor and president of Global Apostolic Network when her father was promoted to glory. Juleane was ordained in April 2010. She carries on the legacy of her father, continuing the Apostolic mantle, which he placed upon her before going home to glory. Juleane is recognized as both a Prophet and an Apostle sent to the nations.

When God joined Dr. Charles and Juleane together in marriage, He meshed together their individual God-given gifts, talents, and callings, with an extraordinary plan and purpose that surpasses the sum of their individual strengths. 

Their passion is to not only reach people with the Truth of God’s Word but to teach, train, equip, and empower people to grow and operate in the fullness of the calling of God upon their lives. They believe the Bible is the written and inspired Word of God, and God has called them to minister to anyone, anywhere, and at anytime.
