Shannon’s Testimony        

I grew up in Salisbury, Maryland. When I was 6 years old our neighbor invited me and my brother to go to church with him. My brother and I began attending regularly the Sunday school of the Bible Baptist Church in Salisbury, but my parents did not. One Sunday I didn’t want to go to church, but my father said, “You’re going anyway!” I replied that it wasn’t right, because he never went to church. My brother and I went to Sunday school that morning and the Lord started to convict my parents for not going to church. They showed up that morning for the main service. That morning they found Salvation through Jesus Christ and accepted Him as their Saviour. They were baptized that same day. (Acts 8:37) They began to attend church faithfully and got involved in the churches bus ministry. They are now faithful members of the Salisbury Baptist Temple. My father is a bus captain. Later when I was 10 years old I accepted Jesus as my Saviour and was baptized.

In January of 1990, I surrendered my life to do what ever God wanted at the same missions’ conference were my husband surrendered to go to the mission field. At that time we did not know that God would bring us together one day. When I graduated from high school I enrolled in Hyles-Anderson College and the next year on June 14^th 1997, Jonathan and I were married. Since, than God has blessed us with 8 children and at this time we are expecting our ninth.
