“. . . GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED . . .”

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19).

Mary Shelton accepted the call to the ministry in 1998, the same year she found the Church. Since then, being faithful and available to serve God and His Church in any avenue brought Sister Shelton to a place where doors began to open in more places, requiring a deeper commitment to God and the ministry. In 2014, after talk­ing with her husband, Joey, they knew it was time to sever ties with his job and answer the call to go. “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me” (Isa. 6:8). That fall the Sheltons, a family of four, embarked on a journey of ministry supported by faith.

Having a passion to evangelize communities, the Shelton family purchased a 30’x50’ revival tent. After this purchase, a 5’x8’ utility trailer and a van were donated to the tent ministry. As they stepped out and did what God had called them to do, God supplied every need through the generous giving of God’s people. This enabled the Sheltons to conduct 26 revivals during the 2015-2016 Assem­bly year in the states of TN, OK, KY, NC, AL, MS, WV, FL, SD, 11 of which were tent revivals—which would not have been possible without the diligent efforts of Joey, Erik, and Lora, who faithfully labor to erect the tent everywhere it is used. There were two state­wide revivals, one of which equaled 4 weeks in Alabama, visiting every church in the state. Sister Shelton was also evangelist for one camp, as well as ministering in 30 organizations other than The Church of God. The Sheltons conducted 83 nursing home services, as well as singing in several fast food venues this past year.

In September of this year, God brought to fruition the prayer, fasting, and diligent efforts of Brother Allen Anders and many oth­ers who had laid the groundwork for a tent revival by the New River in Fries, Virginia. This resulted in a church being organized under the tent for the first time.

Pray diligently for God to send forth labor­ers with a will­ing, obedient heart—that it could be you.
