About the Author
Shirley Morgan is a farm girl from Roanoke County, Virginia. She married a
soldier, and while he was stationed in France, they traveled through Europe.
In addition, she traveled on two mission trips to India. In the U.S., she
has traveled all over the East Coast, from the Mississippi to the Atlantic
and Maine to Florida. Now she is a Missionary at the Mill Mountain
Star!
What began as a desperate plea to God about how to generate finances after
a divorce, became an open door into God’s heart—from which has
poured out too-numerous-to-count answered prayers! Shirley was diagnosed
with stage four breast cancer; hospice was called in—but God healed
her! She needed a job, and God sent a woman by the last name of FORTUNE to
help her. She needed a home, and God sent a woman by the last name of
PARADIS to help her. She began visiting the Mill Mountain Star (which her
uncle and cousins, the Kinseys, designed), and telling how God healed her to
people from all over the world—one hundred and nineteen countries so
far! She did many paintings in the 90s. God told her to put Scripture on
some of her paintings and call them her Memorial Paintings. Shirley began
giving them away, if interested, to visitors at the Star who had listened to
her healing story. Her paintings with God’s Word went back with those
visitors all over the world.
Shirley is now eighty-five: a mother of three, a grandmother of ten and a
great-grandmother of seven. At one time she was a foster mom. Her volunteer
work has included: a jail ministry, Certified J&D Court Family
Counselor, Certified for General District Court Mediation to receive
referrals, a Notary Public, and nursing care for others. Shirley was
employed thirty plus years in the workforce, which included: working as a
Certified Dental Assistant & Prevention Therapist, retiring after ten
years from General Electric, Receptionist for the Southwest Virginia U.S.
Attorney’s Office, Intake Assistant at a Christian counseling center,
and various other office positions. For fun Shirley has enjoyed: writing,
cooking, sewing, gardening, painting, homemaking, being a beautician for
family and friends, doing “handyman” repairs, playing the piano
(once, she learned how to play the banjo!), and of course reading her
Bible—all the while talking to Father God. She wants to encourage
you:
“If Father God can talk to a farm girl like me—every
day—and answer my prayers about my life, my health and everything
else, He can do the same for YOU!
As grateful as I am to be healed and walking in divine health, even more
precious is knowing Jesus as my Savior, that He died for my sins, and I am
able to tell others about Him, and have my paintings with His Word go all
over the world.”
