Her pulpit extends to conferences and other gatherings, where she allows the Holy Spirit to use her in delivering the rhema (Living Word) for the wounded and weary. Her diverse background includes working as a Residential Coordinator/House Mother for unwed mothers and recovering addicts. She has a passion to see souls saved, healed, delivered and restored, which was birthed when God completely delivered her from an illness. As a result of this miracle, she decided to redirect her focus, and dedicate herself to the redemptive healing work of Jesus Christ. Born into a musically gifted family in Bridgeton, New Jersey, Shirlene began singing in her church choir at the age 12. Not surprisingly, Ms. Davis has tapped into God’s healing promises through anointed prayers set to music. For example, she wrote the lyrics to a sound track provided by a producer for her latest project, “A Healing Prayer,” which is being played all over the world on Christian and Gospel radio stations. In 2003, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee to accept a consulting position with a Christian promotional company, The Music Insider. Her contribution has greatly contributed to the growth of this company. Shirlene became the Founder and President of The Mattie Holden Young Scholarship, a non-profit, organization created to provide financial assistance to high school students from low-income families. An active contributor since 2005, she’s delighted to see how many young lives have been changed. Despite homelessness, a life-threatening hurricane and the many challenges of single parenthood, she still trusts God and stands on His promises. Shirlene has accepted her various challenges as stepping stones to experience more of God's grace. Based on Matthew 19:26: With God, all things are possible, Shirlene believes one’s potential is limitless.
