Ruth & Andrew on my birthday
Recently, I shared that I may not die with tons of money but will certainly leave with many memories. It is true: “Whatever we do for self will pass but what we do for Christ will last.” Last week, it was my pleasure to minister in the Bahamas (see post below) and on Thursday, I fly (LORD WILLING) to Birmingham, AL to attend the Board Retreat for PRAISEFEST MINISTRIES – “Cruise with a Cause.” We’re discussing plans for our upcoming seven day cruise next year to Jamaica aboard Carnival’s largest vessel and we are praying to reach over 50,000 Jamaicans for Jesus! Bob Marley sang: “No Woman No Cry” but the fact is without Jesus in death everyone will cry. Not popular but the Gospel Truth!
Confirmed speakers include: Dr Johnny Hunt, Pastor John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Bishop Paul Morton, Josh McDowell, Dr Ergun Caner, Jamey Ragle, Nikita Koloff. Artists: CASTING CROWNS, Donnie McCurkin, Jason Crabb, Martha Minuzzi, Anthony Evans, comedian John Gray, SONICFLOOd, Hezekiah Walker, Ayiesha Woods, & countless others! More to be released soon. God has blessed me to speak on all three of their cruises to the Bahamas and I’m HONORED to help bring Jesus to Jamaica as one of their featured speakers on the ship to Jamaica on May 30-June 5, 2011! If you would be willing to sail the seas for the Son let me know and this is the most affordable cruise available and it would be perfect for singles, married couples, churches, youth groups, mission trip and/or a treat to send your pastor for some R&R as an appreciation gift.
Ruth and I, will meet this Saturday, Feb 27 in Nashville, TN and we will be attending the NATIONAL RELIGIOUS BROADCASTERS convention at the famed Opryland Hotel. It will be great to spend time with her and fellow friends in ministry. PRAISE THE LORD – last week, I learned that I’m now also an endorsed speaker for UPWARDS www.Upward.org and they have a wonderful sports outreach. It’s my honor to be linked with them.
Next month, I have been invited to Guatemala with COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL for five days to love on the poverty-stricken children. Those that some consider the least matter most to God. It took three years, but I am now one of only a few speakers nation-wide to be one of their ambassadors and speakers for Compassion. Others include: Michael W Smith, Rebecca St James, Jeremy Camp, David Edwards, my buddy – Grant Norsworthy, formerly of SONICFLOOd and Justin Lookadoo and I, will be flying to Guatemala on this upcoming trip overseas. If you would like to donate to this great group and sponsor a child please click the COMPASSION link.
En route to Florida last week, I was on the phone with one of my childhood heroes – Harlem Globetrotter legend and Evangelist Meadowlark Lemon and he made me feel like an “un-official” Globetrotter willing to travel the world bringing God’s Word. It is neat when your heroes as a kid know Christ and call you friend as an adult. Thank you JESUS! Please pray for open doors and our desire is to exalt Christ, encourage Christians and minister to clergy while in town. It would be my pleasure to minister at your next church outreach.

Again, thanks for making my birthday extra special and when our gaze is UPWARD we cannot help but have “COMPASSION on the multitudes.” God bless and go with God.
My dear brother Frank, belated Happy Birthday!! May the Lord fill your life with His blessings and use you mightily as you continue to lift the Cross of Christ in and through your life and ministry. I pray you can come to India one day. Be blessed. Praying for you! (Prov. 16:3)

Happy Belated Birthday Frankie. Thanks for being such an inspiration to us all. We are equally as blessed to call YOU our friend! P.S. -Thanks for sharing all of the pictures- you have a beautiful family! 🙂
Frank you are special and a wonderful friend, you take time out of your busy schedule to touch base with each and every friend you have. Thats quite a feat in it’s self, I haven’t even met you yet and your Spirit gose out before you.
It’s a wonderful blessing just to read the other statments made to you. It’s also amazing how many lives we have touched over the years and how many people we actualy know, were all famous. But the one that really counts that we know is Jesus! (Psalms 139 ) KJV.
It is a priviledge and an honour to call YOU a friend Frank; God bless you on your special day!!

Mr Shelton, I left you a voicemail yesterday and my girlfriend and I, heard you speak last month at the Greater Washington Christian Educators Assoc Annual Conference and YOU ARE AMAZING!!
I am a teacher at a public shool by day but also help with our youth at my church, Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA. We are having a three day youth revival in April and we are dying to know what would it take to come to our church.
Your comedy and message at the end was EXCELLENT!! God has given you a real gift and it would be an honor if you are available to come to our upcoming event. God bless you and your family
Frank Shelton is a gifted speaker, hilarious entertainer, a true friend and the epitomy of cool. As a young Pastor, I appreciated Frank’s ability to connect with our Students as well as Seniors and his can do attitude. Frank went out of his way to minister to our people Months later, I still hear people talking about the Rocky / Star Wars / Billy Graham preacher dude.

Frank, 38 years in the making! God is using you in marvelous ways to communicate the Gospel. I am so proud for you. I was particularly excited to hear the news about Upward….maybe our church will have you come speak to our Upward program!! Also, I toyed with the idea of being in Nashville this Saturday to maybe catch up with you and Ruth on my way to Memphis….however, I wont be able to make the trip.
Well, I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know how thankful I am for you. Stay faithful….walk ye in the way, my brother!
