“Condolences to your family,Elder Shelton was instrumental in my salvation; I'll never forget him preaching my father's funeral, "Will you make it in ". That following Sunday, we were at New Orleans Revival Center. I vividly remember him singing with Vigor and vitality, as he declared the word of God. Y'all were blessed to see God's goodness on his life, for 100 years. God called him to his eternal reward, but his memory will never be forgotten. Pastor Dr. Patryce Jenkins -Allen”
