Felix Manalo

Felix Manalo , also known as Ka Felix, was a Filipino minister who founded Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), a Christian new religious movement in the Philippines officially registered in 1914. Manalo is believed by INC adherents to be the last prophet of God in the final days sent to reestablish the church that Jesus first founded, which they claimed to have fallen into apostasy following the deaths of the apostles. He served as the church's first Executive Minister until his death in 1963, and was succeeded by his son, Eraño Manalo.
