Perry Shaw

Perry accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior in January of 1994. He vowed he would give God 200% more than he ever gave Satan. His salvation was a miracle to say the least. God delivered him from drinking, smoking and a whole host of other things. He will tell you that what God did for him God will do for you.

He has a passion for the lost and is called to go to where others might not go:

Prisons
Nursing Homes
Homeless Shelters
City Streets
Disaster Areas
Anywhere else the Lord will let him go!

Perry's heart is to truly "GO YE THEREFORE."

Dolly has a great desire to see people set free from the evil one's lies and chains. Dolly's passion is to see lives restored and moving forward in the victory that God has promised al that declares Him and Lord.

Lee Gant

Lee spent 15 years in Law Enforcement and often wondered if there wasn’t something better for the folks that wanted to change but couldn’t seem to. They were often placed right back into the same environment they had left and expected to live differently. I don’t know about you but to me it seemed like a loose loose situation.

Once I accepted Christ I found a ministry that took men off the street and poured Christ into them along with life skills to succeed and I also began to go to the prisons to tell the people that Christ is the answer. I began doing this 30 years ago and I don’t intend to quit now.

I also feel the need to help the hurting. We go wherever folks need help to rebuild and restore their homes after a storm, tornado, flood, or fire. We try to show them the love that God has for them.

We live in a very broken world and it is important for folks that have been so beat down and told they are useless and worthless, to be told of the love God has for them. It’s important for us to tell them they can succeed, they can be loved, and they can have hope. I have watched God restore families where bridges had been burned. I have watched men and women become successful and live very productive lives.

I have also watched as I have cleaned up the messes that disasters have left, people with restored hope. I believe if we were all to live as Christ told us to our world would be a lot different. We need to let them know that Christ loves them and has a plan and a purpose for them.

Des Keller

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”
1 Corinthians 1:3-4 NKJV

That is one of my life scriptures. What can Father God do with someone like me? If you can name “IT” I have probably done it or had it done to me. I have not only been used and abused through my life by others, but I have been my own abuser. It has taken the Lord to make me aware that He bought me with a price and because of Him, I am worth that price. Still don’t know why. At the same time, I have the urgency in my heart to show His comfort and freedom to others that have not found it.

I knew I was beyond hope…but GOD!

I knew I couldn’t change no matter what I tried….but GOD!

I knew God love everyone else, but I was hopeless….but GOD!

I knew I couldn’t love others…..but GOD!

God changed me and is still changing me. Without Him, everything would still be the same.

I have been in ministry since 1986. In 1989 I walked through my first prison and have never been the same. I knew I should have been on the other side of the wall. I could be walking the path each inmate is walking. There is not a but God to that because for some, prison was the best thing that has happened. For some, if they stayed on the street they would have been brutally beaten or dead. I am so blessed that God lets me go to prisons.

“Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” Hebrews 13:3 NKJV

“I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’” Matthew 25:36 NKJV In 2023

I started going with Abundant Joy to the North Carolina mountains that had been hit hard by Helene. It was a new experience for me. A new way to serve & share the Lord. A new avenue to serve. It changed me. I couldn’t go enough. We watched people having to stay in tents during the cold, cold winter. We watch people who HAD a lot, shrink down to nothing. We wanted to help.

Why do I go? Because of God’s love. He loves those that are bound in chains; physical and spiritual, and through HIM I want to be a part of HIS rescue team. I love seeing them out of the clutches of the enemy.

HERE I AM LORD, SEND ME!
