Help the Shireys!!

Wayne and Darlene Shirey of The Shireys have been traveling and spreading the Gospel of Christ through Southern Gospel music for over 30 years. They travel full time all across the country. In addition to being their full time ministry, this is their primary source of income.

On July 16th, after a routine check up a few days prior, Wayne had to have a triple bypass open heart surgery. 70 and 80% blockages were found. The surgery went well, and he had been healing wonderfully and quicker than expected. He began experiencing some pain in his stomach and back on August 12th, which got progressively worse and landed him in the ER on August 15th twice. They found that his gallbladder was very inflamed and are looking at a possible second surgery to remove his gallbladder. While in the ER the second time, Darlene started experiencing paralysis in her right leg, along with dizziness. They immediately admitted her and started running tests. They sent Wayne home with pain meds until they can decide if surgery is absolutely necessary. Darlene’s test results still have not been determined at this point, but they feel that she may have possibly had a mini stroke, as her entire right side is now experiencing partial paralysis. This is a very concerning time for them both and has prolonged recovery time. They really need our prayers and support right now, as well as their family.

Wayne and Darlene Shirey have given so much to Southern Gospel music and devoted their lives to the call that God has placed on them. Many times they have been a help to others in need, but now it’s their turn. The recovery time will be nothing short of several months, which means all of their dates/travels have temporarily come to a halt. During this time, they need your help. They are anxious to get back on the road, and we are believing for complete healing and recovery for both so they can continue their ministry. We ask that you prayerfully consider contributing to help them while they can’t help themselves. They have no idea this has been created, but we want to be a blessing to them, as they have been a blessing to so many of us. We believe in the Great Physician and that He has a perfect plan in all of this. Thank you for your prayers and support for The Shireys!
