A Note from Deb:
You never know when God is using you. I'm so proud of my husband's consistent example of faith and obedience. I tell David often that although he is no longer sharing his gift of performance, he remains respected in the gates. This arrived the day after Thanksgiving:
David and Deb,
I cannot put into words what you have meant to me as a Christian man. I loved how you would make me laugh, smile and think about my faith. I loved how my children would sit mesmerized by your stories and talk about them for days. As a Christian man, many things in my life died hard. . .

Last year at this time, we were busy preparing for our annual Christmas performance with our Youth Performance Teams. After a wonderful, (albeit snow-delayed) Christmas show and a great Spring Showcase, we've felt the Lord's leading to take a break from the mentoring extension of DSM.
Between our weekly sessions and our summer drama camps, the last three years has allowed us the privilege of sharing David's passion for keeping Christ in the Spotlight with over 100 students.
Here are some emails we've received from parents of our TRANSFORMED! Teams:
Dearest Debra,
I want to encourage you in your decision! Whether or not the red light is "blinking" or "solid" I am confident that the Lord will continue to confirm this path with fruit in your ministry to your family and refreshment for your soul. Be assured, also, that I have daily opportunity to witness the fruit of your ministry in my family due to our daughters being part of TRANSFORMED.. Kim Rendle

Hi David and Debra,
May you be refreshed and renewed. Your faithfulness to the Lord has been a witness to all who know you. You all have a special place in God's heart and I know His plans for you are only for good. We are all definitely on a journey and there seems to always be twists and turns we never imagined, but I'm learning that what matters in the end is that we never forget that God's love for us never changes. Blessings to you all, Kim (mother of Chloe, who's been with us for 3.5 years)
TRANSFORMED...
on stage and off!

Dear Friends, 
David and I are thankful for you. So many of you have been faithful to follow and pray for this ministry since David first took stage for the Lord in 1979. Many of you have given sacrificially to sustain us - thank you! Although David is no longer taking stage, after nearly thirty-one years and millions of miles of travel, we're excited to announce that David's ministry continues through his many performances on DVD, CD and in print.
Just last Wednesday at church, a young lady in her  20's came up to David and me to share her memories of David coming to her church's summer camp in 1995 and how they'd built their entire camp around his "The Great King" Trilogy. Please read the rest of our exciting news and visit us online.
We wish you a lovely Christmas Season!

"The Apostle Peter" 30th anniversary  Now on DVD!
It's hard to believe that 30 years ago, David's longtime friend Steve Thomas wrote this first person characterization of the Apostle Peter. Steve's wife Debbie sewed David's first costume and that began a run of over 2000 performances at venues ranging from prison to pulpit, church camps to church services and even a public high school in Ketchum, Oklahoma!
After many years on VHS, we're happy to make this new DVD available just in time for Christmas! Filmed in front of over 1000 people with four cameras, you don't want to miss David's flagship performance!

The book of JAMES now on CD! 
David's most requested straight scripture performance. Having been called the book of practical Christianity, James is full of straightforward biblical exhortations to "practice what we preach". Great for memorization and with David's portrayal of "Michael" delivering this epistle as a eulogy for friend, the Reverend O'Toole, a memorable experience.
Order today!

David's Christmas Album!
 "I am already listening to David's album, I put it on my IPOD."
"The album is great. I listened to it this morning while I did my quiet time, and I really enjoyed it. "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" has become close to my heart now that we live in a city that so desperately needs to be ransomed. Las Vegas."

Shelton Family Corner
We are so grateful to have our Marine son Paul David home for good! Thank you for all your prayers that covered him during his 4+ years and 3 tours to Iraq.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,"
Says the LORD. Isaiah 54:17 | |
