Preaching the Evangelistic Message
The following is a chapter from Tom Shanklin’s book, “You Can Touch the World.” This book has been enthusiastically received by ministers and believers around the world.

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.

Family Fun Music Festival in Mahnomen Bears Fruit
By Tom Shanklin Thanks for your prayers for our outreach to Mahnomen, Minnesota on Sept. 23-25. Many lives were touched, God’s people were encouraged, and souls came into the Kingdom of God. Five area churches cooperated with the event, contributing labor, love, and finances. Approximately 150 people attended during the afternoon, and we were able to pray with 15-20 for salvation, and several others for healing. But numbers do not give an adequate picture of the event. Walls came down and connections were made between people—church members and non-church members, Native people and non-native people, … Continue reading
