I, Shirley Thomas was born again in March, 1979 and filled with the Holy Spirit in July of 1979. I was a member of the Jesus Way Congregation. At that time Pastor Paul E. Adams, Officiating, who has now gone home to be with the Lord.
I was ordained a minister under Pastor Adams, and have been ministering the gospel through song and exhortation of the word since the early 90's, My childhood dream was to sing. But the Lord spoke to me several years ago and said "you want to sing. I called you to teach my people". I have now accepted my call as a teacher. I am called to teach God's people to live that abundant life that God sent his Son, Jesus to die for us, to live. Live and live life more abundantly.
I attended Columbia School of Broadcasting for a short time, taking courses in radio announcing; interned at WYCB and WUST radio stations in Washiington, dC. In 1991, I hosted the gosepl sounds segment of WHBC student radio station every Sunday morning at Howard University from 7 a.m. - 11 a.m. I hosted a T.V. program on cable in Washington, DC, called "Mountain Moving Faith" and started a radio broadcast on WFAX in Virginia. My hobbies, are singing and working in missionary type capacities of feeding the poor and helping the disadvantage.
My first singing project was "I'm Excited About Jesus" and now we have completed a Christmas Song, called "Merry Christmas to You", which we were privileged to send to the soldiers in Iraq. I was given a certificate and letter of appreciation from them for thinking of our soldiers at such a time as this.
Presently I am producing and hosting a television show called, "Success Filled Living" on DC Cable Channel 96 and RCN Channel 11.
