The EllieMaeShelly Foundation was a vision given to me by God in 2006. I told my late wife Ellen that I had a vision for our ministry that we would start together. The focus was, and still is, to reach out to individuals that have been afflicted by death and to those who are suffering and broken-hearted. I wanted to impress men with the profound stewardship God has given them over their families. I also wanted to serve young people who are filled with hate, doubt, low self-esteem, and confusion. My mission is to restore hope and deploy world changers from every walk of life no matter how young or old by empowering individuals to recognize the power of a dream and that it is never too late to make a change.

At that time, I did not know the turn my life would take and the incredible struggle it would be to carry on. I carry on the legacy of that vision through the EllieMaeShelly Foundation. My commitment has never wavered in this ministry, but has only grown stronger and expanded in ways I never imagined all those years ago. 

Many have already supported and sewn into this ministry that God has given me.  I thank you all for your love, prayers and your financial support. It is my belief that through fasting and praying, your support of the EllieMaeShelly Foundation can help reach the world with the love of Jesus! 

May the Lord bless and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace today and forevermore. Amen.
