    Apostle Shelby was very seasoned with the Word. Was a blessing to grow under her ministry. Her biggest request was that she would be known as a "Friend to all Sinners". Thank you for giving to the Lord, I'm sure many crowns await you my Sister in the Lord.

    Precious beautiful lady. When I was younger and growing up in Missouri we would visit our family here in Arkansas and a special time for my sister and me was spending time with her and Jewel. They were several years older than us and we looked up to them. We got to go to church with them at the Revival Center when it was on Mildred Street. As an adult, I moved to Arkansas and was able to relate to Shelby on an adult level and as a sister in Christ. I remember going to a preaching engagement she had at a church in Bay. We had many conversations about the Lord and she was able to share information about my grandparents whom I didn't get to grow up with and they died when I was young. She shared about the great conversations she had with our grandfather about the Bible and faith. I loved her not only as a cousin but my sister in Christ.
