Scheduling Information for Tom and Susan Shanklin
Dear Fellow Minister, Just a note to introduce myself and our ministry to those of you serving the Lord in the U.S. and around the world.

We Still Need the Ministry of the Evangelist
By Tom Shanklin I received the following statement in a newsletter from LeRoy Jones, a Methodist evangelist from Chatham, Virginia. I met LeRoy and his wife Peg at the Billy Graham School of Evangelism several years ago. LeRoy writes: “God is still blessing the little churches. Most of the churches where Peg and I are called to minister are small churches. Sometimes it is a single evangelistic service, sometimes it is a revival, at other times we are asked to do a missions program. Still at other times we are asked to do special occasion … Continue reading
