Mission Statement

Since 1979, David Shelton Ministries has been pointing people to Jesus Christ creatively, with relevance, through drama, song storytelling and mime. We are now training a new generation of Christ-Centered Artists, continuing the legacy of David's ministry and desire to keep Christ in the Spotlight.
Ministering to and through the next generation for Jesus Christ, on stage and off.
In the Wings & Backstage Paul on Patrolby Debra Shelton

Dear Friends,
As most of you know, David's become unable to take stage due to dementia.  And yet, the legacy of his 27 years on the road continues through his recorded performances, his book, our mentoring program and our summer camp.  As anyone who knows David would expect, as difficult as it has been, he's adjusted to life in the wings amazingly well. It reminds me of the storyline in the Bing Crosby movie, White Christmas where the main characters sing the song, "What do you do with a general, when he stops being a general?" 

In a sense, that's where we are.  After spending one-half of his life sharing the Gospel through his dramatic and musical gifting, David is now unable to do so. He is aware of his limitations but walks out each day with courage and continues to set an example of steadfastness in the most pleasant manner.  I have never been more proud of him. 
 
"He said unto me, My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore will I rather glory in my weakness, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in weakness: for when I am weak, then am I strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9,10.
Backstage - Over the years, much of David's ministry has occurred backstage or offstage completely, whether he would visit with a fellow cast mate or audience member.  Now we have some more exciting backstage news:
 
We just received a letter from Focus on the Family
requesting permission to re-air David's "JONAH!" performance.  Tune in on May 12th to hear this wonderful performance, written by our dear friend Steve Thomas.

Many of you have partnered with us over the years and we can't thank you enough for helping us to share the Love of Jesus one performance at a time. Thank you for being part of this exciting journey of serving Him!

THE GREAT KING NEWS: New CD Set and curriculum!
Paul on PatrolSince its debut in 1990, David's three-part allegorical trilogy of the Gospel, the Great Commission and the Second Coming of Christ has thrilled audiences of all ages.
NOW AVAILABLE in a 3-CD set and now on DVD! For many years, David would be invited to perform this wonderful allegory for special children at Royal Family Kids Camp -
 
"The part in the story where the untrusting, skeptical children are lovingly dealt with by The Great King reminds  me so much of the many of the children we have at our camp.  The prince of the dark domain has fed them so many broken promises that they have a very difficult time believing that anyone would want to fulfill any promise to them.  In the sharing of this story, you have become a 'Repairer of Broken Walls'  (Isaiah 58:10-12) especially the broken wall of trust."

The Legacy Institute!
We are privileged to be partnering with President Carrie Abbott and The Legacy Institute as they create and deliver educational resources that empower people to be whole in a sexually broken culture. As Legacy President, Carrie Abbott says,
"David captures God as Father and King"
and that is the focus of their chapter.  We feel very privledged to be part of this much needed curriculum! Read More
