Dr Johnny Hunt – Pastor – First Baptist Woodstock
Past President of So Baptist Convention
Woodstock, GA“Frank Shelton is real. A real preacher, a real Bible teacher, and a real friend. I have had the opportunity to work with Frank on many occasions and I was truly touched by his heart for worship and his giving spirit. His humor and sincerity are matched only by his desire to honor Christ. During the darkest days of my life, when many in ministry “mocked” me; Frank ministered to me. He is the real deal.”
Michael English – Grammy Winner – “IN CHRIST ALONE”
Wallace, NC“The grand story of our great God needs more men to share it. Frank Shelton is one of those men. Frank makes much of Jesus and his ministry will empower you to do the same. Frank’s friendship and encouragement helps fuel my faith.”

Frank has been motivational and inspirational in many lives across the world for many years, including mine! He’s been living my motto: “Changing Lives to Change the World” and has a great, sincere and loving connection with the youth – our future leaders….I would highly recommend Frank for any Corporate or Christian Event! Frank is also a great comedian and it is my belief that “laughter is a great medicine”! Thank you Frank for being my friend and being on my “Team”… Much Love and Gratitude, your friend
Meadowlark Lemon
Basketball Hall of Fame 2003, Harlem Globetrotter & Evangelist
Scottsdale, AZ“Our church brought in Frank Shelton twice in 2010, and he spoke four times on our weekend retreat with the senior high group. The kids LOVED him and he was a big hit with our youth department and the adult chaperones. He did more than just speak but intentionally invested in the lives of our students on and off the platform. He took time to connect with them individually and our entire group was commenting on how God spoke to them via Frank and his messages. The weekend that Frank spoke we had 42 decisions for Christ! Several of our teens commented that he was the best speaker/preacher they ever heard. Frank is real, Bible based and has a gift to share God’s Word in a way that is both relevant and captivating. We recommend him without reservation.”
Immanuel Bible Church – Student Ministries Department
Springfield, VA“Frank Shelton is profoundly simple and SIMPLY PROFOUND! For the record, I believe Frank Shelton is one of America’s finest Evangelist, chosen by God, empowered by His Spirit and totally dedicated to The Lord Jesus Christ!. And I treasure his friendship! Let it be known Frank Shelton has the gift of exhortation like few in the earth, I do not know his equal. He is the quintessential renaissance man of this New Testament gifting.”
Dr Johnny Pope, Sr Pastor, Christchurch Baptist Fellowship
Houston, TX“Mr Shelton, what a privilege to have you here last week sharing in our chapel at High Point Christian Academy. Home of HPCA and Green Street Baptist Church in High Point, North Carolina. I have received so much great feedback from students and teachers. Thank you for working us into your busy schedule. To see over 100 of our students profess Christ after your message was amazing and I will be coordinating with teachers to work on the follow-up for discipleship. We will forever remember you as the champ who cheered and challenged our children to put Christ first! God bless all of your efforts.”
Dr Rita Haire - Principal, High Point Christian Academy
High Point, NC“Frank Shelton came to speak at our chapel to the fine students of First Baptist Church of Dallas & Christian Academy on March 24, 2011, and I was blown away! I told him after his message that I have been on staff and in Christian education for over 30 years and that was hands down, one of the most POWERFUL sermons I have ever heard. I recommend him without hesitation to everyone.”
Staff Member – First Baptist Church of Dallas/Christian Academy
Dallas, TX“Over the years, I have listened to many preachers, evangelists and prophets, but Frank Shelton moved me to tears by his honest and transparent teachings of the boy with the loaf of bread and two fishes in his sermon recently in Dallas at the Lay Witness For Christian International Board Meeting. I’ve heard this story countless times, but I never saw the boy, the significance of the story impacted me in a way I can’t explain. Mr. Shelton, I praise you for being a light and a voice this world needs! Anyone who hears you, hears the message of Jesus, and see the heart of love of our Saviour. Thank you for impacting my life and look forward to serving with you in London, England next year at the Olympic Games with LWFCI.”
Carla J. Akin – Author/Board Member of 2012 Olympic Games, LWFCI
Dallas, TX“Brother Frank - Thank you again for your enthusiastic, empowering, and encouraging service to our King of Kings on Sun Feb 27, 2011 at Pierpont Church of the Nazarene in Morgantown, West Virginia! We are truly grateful for you and will be praying for you and your family as you continue laying your lives down for Him. May our God continue to receive all the glory! We’re still reeling in the joy of how the Spirit moved and graciously poured out His presence!! You preached Sunday morning and twice Sunday afternoon at our UPWARD event and to see 170 souls trust Christ in one day was just AWESOME! Praise the Lord!! Thanks, again, for allowing Him to use you mightily!”
Tobias Family - Pierpont Church of the Nazarene
Morgantown, West Virginia“Frank – you are one of the greatest soul winners alive today. Often times it’s hard to imagine ourselves listed among the greats of history such as D. L. Moody, Charles Finney, or Jonathon Edwards, but in Heaven’s storybook there is an equal sized chapter entitled Frank Shelton. It is such a privilege of mine to say that I know you and that we are long-time friends. I so look forward to the day the we will stand with the greats of history and join together and bow our heads, bend our knees, and lay every crown at His Majesty’s precious feet! Jesus. King of kings, Lord of lords. Master. God bless you friend, “He who wins souls is wise!”
Kenny Miller – Worship Pastor @ New Hope Church (close friends w/ Chris Tomlin)
Baltimore, MD“It was my pleasure to invite my new friend, Frank Shelton, Jr to Harvest Pointe Church when I was pastoring in East Texas. I had Frank speak briefly Sunday morning and shared HUMOR and a message Sunday night and our folks absolutely loved it! Even better they loved him!! It was one of the largest attended Sunday evening services we ever had. Before he left we already talked about him coming back to preach a revival.”
Dr Rick Scarborough – Founder of VISION AMERICA
Nacogdoches, TX“Frank Shelton is my hero! Frank lives and breathes to share Jesus with the world. He is an amazing example of the abundant life and joy that Jesus came to give to all who are willing to receive. I love the guy!”
Andy Williams (aka “Bald Wunda”) – drummer w/ CASTING CROWNS
McDonough, GA – now touring w/ SOUL SISTER SALLY“Frank Shelton has a burden for revival and evangelism. God is using him across America and I want to recommend him to pastors everywhere. It could be a Revival Crusade, special Harvest Day or other special event as well. Frank is a man of integrity and Pastor, you will be glad you scheduled him to come speak to your people.”
Evangelist Tim Lee – American Patriot & Board Member of LIBERTY UNIVERSITY
Garland, TX“Frank, you really blessed me today! Love ya brotha!!!!”
Michael Tait – lead singer to NEWSBOYS – formerly w/ dcTalk
Nashville, TNFrank, you are indeed a “refresher.” The Lord is using you in a wonderful way – and I believe He will use you even more in the days ahead. I am impressed with your humble, teachable, and submissive spirit. That is rare among young evangelists and I delight to see it. After his kingdom was rejected, Samuel said to Saul, “when thou wast little in thine own eyes…” The problem with Saul was that he forgot where he used to be and was overcome with his own importance. That is a trait that befalls many men of God – and frankly, it is the kiss of death – just like it was for Saul. Frank, I don’t see that in you and I hope you will maintain that unassuming spirit. I will be praying for you that the Lord will open many doors for you. And in the meantime, Dr. Super Incredible, Amazing, Fantastic Frank, my friend, my buddy, and a man I want to be like when I grow up, don’t you ever forget this one single thing: JUNIOR HILL SURE DOES LOVE YOU!
Evangelist Junior Hill
Hartselle, AL“NO ONE, should have that much energy in the morning! Frank is the MAN!! I know that doesn’t look too fancy on a poster, brochure, or book cover, but it is true. Frank Shelton is AMAZING – great speaker, and awesome man of God!”
Dr Ergun Caner – Liberty University
Lynchburg, VA“Frank Shelton is the “Total Package.” He has amazing stage presence, charisma, charm, powerful preacher, loves the Lord and loves people. Even better – folks love him.”
Evangelist Rick Stanley – Elvis Presley’s stepbrother
Chattanooga, TN“Frank Shelton is a special brother. He “gets it.” By that I mean he knows that this thing we do is ministry. It’s God’s work and we are blessed to take part in the effort.”
Clay Crosse – Grammy Winner & 10 NUMBER ONE HITS!
Memphis, TN“Frank Shelton is ON FIRE for Jesus! His life is a living testimony to the transforming grace of God. The Spirit of Christ is evident by just being around him. He is morally clean and ethical in his conduct. The Lord has prepared and gifted Frank to make spiritual impact with people of every age. His ministry is so balanced that the result brings conviction to the believer about his relationship to Jesus Christ. Any pastor who is interested in a real “vistation from Heaven,” which will profit the local church in winning the lost, deepening of the saints and growth, should contact Frank Shelton. In fact, if I were a pastor, I would prayerfully consider to clear my schedule and make this a priority. In the midst of many people serving God, occasionally our paths cross with someone we are thrilled to recommend. Such is the case with Frank Shelton. Brethren, use him!”
Randy Hogue
Cullman, Alabama“Frank, it’s TRULY a pleasure to know you and to share in the work of ministry with you! I’m so happy that God is using you in mighty ways. I’m looking forward to hearing even more as time goes on! Much Love To You and the Family!
Ayiesha Woods – Nominated for “Female Vocalist of the Year 2007”
Dallas, TX“Frank, what a joy it was having you visit and preach at our church. God used you to inspire the young, encouraged adults in difficulty, and reminded all that if we aren’t focused on Jesus then what is the point… keep the faith & God bless!
William Chris Shelton – Senior Pastor, R.O.C.K Ministries
Piggott, Arkansas“I have known Frank for over 15 years. He is a man dedicated bring people to the saving knowledge of God through Jesus Christ. He is also a great motivational speaker. In any environment, Frank Shelton can deliver the goods with his God given talent of communication. Laughter is a great medicine and ministry. Frank has ministered to me many times through his books and recordings. I am a fan of Frank Shelton!”
Ernie Haase – tenor/founder of SIGNATURE SOUND
Stow, OH“Frank, keep rockin’ for Jesus!”
Rick Heil – lead singer to Grammy Nominated SONICFLOOd
Nashville, TN“Frank Shelton has a passion for God & Country. He is anointed and appointed for such a time as this. As a songwriter I picked up instantly that he has a way with words. God has blessed him and it was my pleasure having him as a guest on my television program.”
Babbie Mason – Grammy Winner & Gospel Singer
Atlanta, GA“Frank is both a powerful preacher and a gifted teacher. His impersonation of Dr. Graham is amazing!”
M. Holmquist – Billy Graham School of Evangelism
Charlotte, NC“Over the years, I have watched God use Frank in some pretty dynamic ways. If there is one quality about Frank that stands out is his passion to reach the lost for Christ. Similar to BILLY GRAHAM Crusades ( I have had the privilege to work with BGEA at events as a speaker), I can honestly and boldly say, Frank Shelton’s altar calls are similar that hands go UP, people come FORWARD and come to know Jesus as their personal Savior! That is what it’s all about!”
Sam Glenn – speaker @ Teen Mania’s “ACQUIRE THE FIRE”
Chicago, IL“Our changing world needs to hear the fresh voice of a true revivalist. That is Frank Shelton. God is using this man to share the message of hope in Jesus Christ in a very effective manner. You will not regret extending an invite to Frank!”
Evangelist Jamey Ragle – HUMORIST & Friend
Chattanooga, TN“Pastor, Youth Minister, conference planner – For your next revival or conference. Bring Frank Shelton to speak to your people and he will bless you and your church!”
Marcus Lamb – Founder of DAYSTAR TV
Dallas, TX“Frank is one of America’s top ten soul-winning evangelists with his excellent use of analogy, illustration, witty humor and clever application of the Word combined with a rich anointing and humility. I happen to be in that top ten list as well, blessed with all those attributes, MINUS the humility! My prayer is that one day I will be as funny as Frank!

Marion, IL“Frank, I had the pleasure to hear you speak at the Singles Session on “Praisefest Cruise with a Cause – 2008″ in the Bahamas! As you shared your testimony there was not a dry eye in the audience. Brother, you spoke with such honesty and insight, that everyone in attendance was challenged to put Christ first in their relationships; to seek God’s will and His ways and to trust God for the results. Several others heard you from our church and we are already contacting staff about possibly bringing you to speak to our singles at our church!
Connie Wilmeth – Singles member – LAKEWOOD CHURCH
Houston, TX“Frank Shelton is a dynamic Christian speaker/evangelist with a message this is relevant to ALL ages. He is the “real deal.” He is willing to not just deliver an INCREDIBLE message, but go into the schools and reach the next generation for Christ. At Praisefest Ministries we have been blessed to bring in the very best Christian singers and speakers around the world. For the past three years, I have had Frank speak on all three of our cruises to the Bahamas with “Cruise with a Cause.” One of the senior pastors on the ship was so impressed with Frank that he booked him to come to Alabama and preach 15 messages in four days at Fleetwood Baptist Church for their REVIVAL. During that four night meeting – 81 adults and teens accepted Christ as their personal Savior. I had the pleasure to attend one of those services and I strongly encourage you to consider having Frank at your church for a special Sunday service, revival, youth rally or evangelistic event. He will deliver a Word from God!”
Dr. Matthew Dunaway – Pres. of PRAISEFEST MINISTRIES
Mobile, AL“I am thankful and privileged to know Frank Shelton. God has given him the most beautiful heart and the kindest most loving spirit. He exemplifies the meaning of Christianity not only in his speaking and preaching, but also in his professional and personal relationships. A brief note or message from Frank always lifts my spirits and leaves me feeling God’s love. His messages delivered at speaking engagements inspire, motivate and are such a tremendous encouragement to people.” P.S. – “Frank , you did an amazing job on that DAYSTAR show! I was so blessed by your message! I can’t believe all the things you covered in such a short amount of time. I didn’t want it to end. I laughed, I cried, I was uplifted. Your impersonations were great and funny, too. I think you have a powerful ministry that is going to grow tremendously! God Bless You Good!
Renee Barham – Ministry Coordinator – Michael English & DAYSTAR Promotions
Tulsa, OK“Frank Shelton has dramatically touched the lives of tens of thousands across the Country. He has brought the grace and hope that Jesus Christ offers to a hurting world in a way that is conveyed as only Frank can communicate. His sincerity, humility and humor softens hearts for the Holy Spirit to do his incredible work. He is a refreshing and encouraging minister that is being mightily used of the Lord.”
Shannon Marketic – 1992 MISS USA
Dallas, TX“Frank speaks with a heart of compassion. He has a genuine interest in people and is passionate about communicating with people of all ages to live a life of character and follow Christ. Frank’s stories grab your attention because they are deep and thought provoking. Frank also has a wonderful gift of humor and doing impersonations that will make audiences laugh until they cry!”
Gina Waegle – 1998 Miss Colorado
Denver, CO“Frank Shelton has an incredible ministry! I had the pleasure of being on the Praisefest Ministries “Cruise with a Cause” to Bahamas with my husband and remember walking through the Royal Caribbean cruise ship and seeing a large crowd gather to lean over a balcony and listen to a man speaking below in the center of the ship. We joined them and were amazed! The man was on the bottom floor captivating this impromptu, walk up audience with this BOOMING voice. People were gathered on four floors, leaning over balconies just to hear him speak. We didn’t even know who he was at the time. He was engaging the audience with jokes and celebrity impersonations, but it wasn’t long before he started sharing his personal testimony and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Before long, it seemed like the entire ship was hanging on his every word (including the Captain of the ship)! We later found out the man’s name was Frank Shelton. In the past I was co-host of one of largest contemporary Christian radio station, 93.7 WDJC in Birmingham, Alabama . When I returned to work I told my co-host about this engaging speaker with a heart for Christ. We booked him for an interview that was so much fun we continue to play segments of it to this day! He does the best impersonations including Billy Graham and former President Clinton. If you’re considering booking a speaker for an event that will warm the crowd up while sharing the gospel and the love of God…without question then Frank Shelton is the one to book ! I strongly recommend him. Your group will love him!
Wendy Garner – Morning Show Host – 93.7 WDJC FM
Birmingham, ALABAMASadly, much of “evangelism” in the Christian Church today is not New Testament Evangelism. Bill Hybles came to Texas 15 years ago and stated: “The days of revival and Evangelistic crusades are over.” Sadly, a lot of our young, gullible, naive preachers agreed with him. They didn’t have a clue and many still don’t. Ephesians 4:11 states: “And God gave some to be Evangelists.” Frank Shelton, Jr has been called by God and chosen and has surrendered. His passion for souls is a bright light in the religious world filled with darkness. Without a doubt the calling of God and the anointing of God is upon Frank’s life. His passion for souls is a motivating factor in the life of every believer to be a “SOUL WINNER.” I pray that God will use his NEW book “Final Approach – Career vs Calling?” to set the multitudes on fire for Jesus. Frank has been blessed with tons of passion, energy and a desire to honor God, encourage pastor’s and bless the local church. Without hesitation, I recommend Frank Shelton to the precious people of your congregation and community.”
Dr. Freddie Gage – Evangelist (second only to Billy Graham in SBC for soul-winning)
Euless, TX“In over 45 years of public service at both the state and national level; I can honestly say: “Frank Shelton, Jr. is one of the most compassionate, decent, young men I have ever met. I know his heart is for evangelism but I wouldn’t be surprised if God uses him to build one of the biggest churches in Maryland one day.”
U.S. Rep. Steny H. Hoyer – House Majority Leader of Congress
Washington, DC“I have known Frank for over 25 years and I recently witnessed him preach (March 2009) at my home church First Baptist Church of Waldorf, MD at their annual UPWARDS Basketball Awards Ceremony. Frank spoke to over 1,400 adults and teens and when he gave the invitation over 400 players and parents stood to their feet after trusting Christ as Savior! One of them was my daughter’s ex-boyfriend (age 32) who was once incarcerated but found freedom when Frank gave the invitation. Ironically, he was one of the first to respond to the altar call. Praise God, I was so proud of them both!
Proud Parent – First Baptist Church
Waldorf, MD“Frank Shelton, what can I say but WOW! Here at Harmony Baptist Church, we deeply appreciate your visit with us. We are so glad you have not forgotten the small churches in your venture to present the gospel across the nation. I truly do not know whether to title you as a motivational speaker, a comedian, or an evangelist! You have such a perfect blend of all three. I know your heart is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ first and foremost, but lifting up and empowering people to live as they should makes a real change. In the days to follow your message, everybody from teen-agers to senior adults commented to me how influential and enjoyable you were. Several stopped by my office to specifically tell me that they truly appreciated me for asking you to come! We intend to have you back real soon!”
Rev. Marc Lhowe – Harmony Baptist Church
Monroe, GA“Frank Shelton , Jr. in my opinion, is one of the great “World changers and history makers” of this Millennium. As President/Founder of ” America’s Heroes of Freedom ,” I consider it a privilege to have had Frank serve the past 4 years on our Advisory Board for AHOF. He has personally ministered love and restoration with us repeatedly (with no fanfare) to our wounded Military from the Afghanistan/Iraq War. He has walked through the corridors with America ’s Heroes at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval Hospital , respectively. He has been interviewed several times with The Washington Post and Baltimore Sun regarding the need for Americans’ to pause and pray for our troops and those wounded at war. He has always said: ” Our soldiers, police/fire/EMT, teachers and preachers are the real heroes – not celebrities or public figures. ” Frank is a “patriot” beyond any man I know.
His love for God & Country is inspiring to the Nation. One of the things I love most about Frank is his love for the Lord and his God given gift to make folks of all walks of life laugh, feel loved and have fun! He is both honorable and humble. While walking with him on Capitol Hill, your mouth hits the floor with all the powerful people he knows in Washington, D.C. as they stop and say “hello” but what is so endearing to him is that he is so gracious and kind to all (not just the influential). Like God, Frank is no respecter of persons. He values everyone and is a constant encourager and motivator. Frank’s personal commitment to the “lost” who don’t know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior is why I feel God has entrusted Him with the responsibility and vision of “Celebrate Jesus! Crusades.” I am both excited and honored to be part of this great event!”

Evangelist Junior Hill – former VP of Southern Baptist Convention
Huntsville, AL“Finally, our speaker for the night. Not only is this man funny. He is entertaining. But by far his greatest gift is his heart. I have yet to meet anyone in my life who has the heart of Frank Shelton . Frank has been a dear friend for sometime now. Also nearly 15 years ago I remember meeting this sharp dressed, soft spoken guy from Waldorf, MD. Instantly, we had a bond that would lead us to many great times and memories. I can easily say that Frank Shelton is the most Christ-like person I know. The Lord Jesus Christ uses this man to share the Gospel in ways that will BLOW YOUR MIND! Frank will be bringing the message from the very mouth of God. I pray that God will open your hearts, your ears and your eyes for the things He has in store for us tonight. Please give a warm Florida welcome to Frank Shelton…………..”
