2012 MOVEMENT

February 2, 2012 in Destiny, Great Commission, JCTV, Skunks TV

Hello Partners and Friends,

Each year at this time I take extra time to pray and seek God’s guidance for the year. Last year the Lord told me it would be a year of ‘transition’ for our ministry. And let me tell you almost everything about our ministry went through a transition this year. Skunks TV was picked up by a cable system in India, we began airing on Nejat TV in the Middle East and we were also picked up by JCTV (the largest Christian youth network in the world).

God also transitioned our evangelistic efforts and local work. Many of you know we are now in Miami, FL serving as Student Pastors at Words of Life. We have been positioned to reach more people and reach them more effectively. I believe God has planted us to expand us. By joining with a local body we can reach South Florida effectively and it positions us to reach more people with crusades and to put more resources into Skunks TV.

As I look forward into 2012 I believe God has movement planned for this ministry. Webster defines movement as: a (1) : the act or process of moving; especially : change of place or position or posture b (1) : a tactical or strategic shifting of a military unit : maneuver (2) : the advance of a military unit [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/movement]

Did you catch that? “A tactical or strategic shifting and the advance of a military unit.” Sometimes with our busy lives we forget that a war is being fought over lives and that eternal destinies are at stake. It is our hearts cry to move with the Holy Spirit as He brings in the harvest. As a minister I so clearly see that the harvest is white, it is ready right now. Today thousands would come in if they could only hear this message.

I’m so grateful for all of you because without your help it would be impossible for us to send His message around the world. You have enabled us to travel and minister full-time, produce Skunks TV and do several crusades. We are moving together, being positioned by the Holy Spirit to accomplish the impossible. We are being set up this year to accomplish more for God than ever before.

I believe God will pour His favor and blessing on you this year as He shifts you into greater levels of impact. When we get serious about God’s business, He gets serious about our business. Thank you again for standing with us in prayer and support. You are a part of this gospel getting around the world. Alyssa and I don’t take the credit. We know it is by God’s power and the help of His body that makes our evangelistic efforts a success.

We are Moving

November 8, 2011 in Great Commission, Making a Difference, Skunks TV

Dear Partners and Friends,

Over the last several years the Lord has been stirring our hearts for the youth in South Florida. South Florida is one of the most unreached areas in the United States.  As God continued to stir our hearts we took it to prayer. We knew that if God was in it that He would open an opportunity for us to reach them.

As you all know we have lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the last six years and have had the opportunity to see many people come to the Lord throughout this region.  Yet, we knew that our time in Tulsa was for a season. This summer a great church in Miami, Words of Life, called us and asked if we would be their lead student pastors. After many months of prayer we knew this opportunity was from the Lord and the next move for our ministry.

Shull Ministries International will continue to go strong with all of our outreaches and events. Skunks TV, which now airs around the world through JCTV, will begin filming in Miami. For those of you who love watching the Dudes on Skunks TV you will not have to worry. They will continue to produce their segments in Tulsa. The remaining segments of the show will now be produced in Miami. We believe that our new studios in Miami will take the show quality to its highest level yet.

Also the Pink Lid will continue putting on conferences throughout the nation. Alyssa is very excited to see how the Lord uses The Pink Lid in Miami to reach a generation of girls who don’t know their value in God.  Miami is home to many young women who need Alyssa’s message of purity and holiness. There is a lot of work to be done, but Alyssa is excited for the opportunity to minister to more young women.

We will still be traveling to different churches throughout the nation holding healing services and special events. The only change is instead of every week, it will be the 4th and 5th weekend of each month.  The rest of the month we will be ministering locally at Words of Life Church in North Miami Beach, Florida.

We are so excited for this opportunity to reach the youth of Miami. They are in desperate need of the message we are bringing. In this club culture, these young people are searching for something to fill their voids and hide their pain. We believe God is going to use us to show them the power of God and His saving grace.

Partners, we need you more than ever before. First in prayer, please pray for the lost young people all over the globe who are tuning in to Skunks TV. Pray that the eyes of their hearts will open and they will come to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. Pray for the young people of South Florida and strategies for us to reach them.

Second, we will continue to need your financial support to run Skunks TV. You literally enable us to air Skunks TV around the world. Young people are being set free from our energetic program and we could not do it without your faithful support.

Thank you in advance for your generous seeds into young people.  Our heart’s cry is for the lost, and with your support we are doing everything we can to reach them.

Reaching this generation together,

Matt & Alyssa Shull

Don’t Count Yourself Out!

September 22, 2011 in Destiny, Great Commission, Making a Difference

Hello Partners and Friends,

Genesis 26:1-6; 12-14 – “Now there was a famine in the land—besides the earlier famine of Abraham’s time—and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar. The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspringa all nations on earth will be blessed, because Abraham obeyed me and kept my requirements, my commands, my decrees and my laws.” So Isaac stayed in Gerar.”

“Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.” (NIV)

Right now the world is experiencing a famine. Governments are toppling, national debts and economic collapses, riots are taking place, they’re talking about a double-dip recession and on and on. However, we as the children of God are connected to a different Kingdom. We have access to a place that is doing just fine. However, if we’re not careful the famine mentality can get on us. Isaac was in the middle of the famine and he began to act like everyone else. He thought he had to go to Egypt and leave the land God had given him. In other words he decided to bail on his destiny to survive.

Please hear me out. Don’t bail on your destiny just to survive. God doesn’t want you surviving, He wants you thriving! He has a divine call on your life. He has placed you on the earth for such a time as this. Stay where God has planted you. Dream, build and sow your life in the direction God has you going and you will produce!

Several years ago Alyssa and I were experiencing a personal famine. We had no money and everything was going wrong around us. Yet God kept telling me to stay right where I was at and that He was going to bless. Today we’re reaching so many more people for God than we were even a year ago. I believe the main reason is because we obeyed the voice of God. Listen to the Holy Spirit, don’t bail on your destiny just yet and don’t count yourself out.

The Working Class

September 1, 2011 in Generation, Great Commission, Making a Difference

In our recession we are seeing a generation struggling to find work. We have a lack of jobs for all the workers who are eager to work. However, in the Kingdom of God we have a different problem. We have more work than we can imagine but we cannot seem to find the ‘workers’ who will get the job done.

Luke 10:2 – These were his instructions to them: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. (NLT)

Bill Wilson of Metro Ministries said recently, “If you’re going to plow a field do you want to use a 1000 chickens or 2 oxen?” Then he said, “Don’t be a chicken.” Many of us believers ‘chicken’ out of the Great Commission. I’m encouraging you today to not do this. You have the spirit of an ox on the inside of you. You are called to build God’s Kingdom and harvest His crop. Keep your hands to the plow and don’t look back.

We need a generation to be God’s “Working Class” and turn the Great Commission into the Great Completion. Jesus gave the commandment to disciple the world over 2,000 years ago and we have yet to fulfill this call. As each generation goes to heaven they have to explain to Jesus why they could not or would not fulfill this commission. I believe it is time for the church to embrace her first assignment and fulfill this command.

Let’s be about His business,

Matt and Alyssa Shull
