Dearest Friends,

I do know it has been awhile since you’ve received an email, updates, or poetic releases. This has been quite the year. Some beautiful and some challenging. One week our room erupted in sheer joy as hearts began to dance before the Lord and soon after I found myself in urgent care and on a year long journey to healing. That was last Feb or March. I wish I could say I’m recovered but we are still looking for answers medically. Prayers are very much appreciated. 

Despite the very unexpected setback, I was able to continue with speaking dates and daily ministry in our headquarters in Troup. The Lord helped me daily and the ladies prayed me through again and again helping in every way possible.

We’ve seen much beauty in spite of the struggles. Women have grown in Christ and many have flown into their own places and spaces with Jesus. We’ve enjoyed having women join our meetings from a local ministry, New Creation Foundation, where restoration occurs for women struggling with life altering addictions. I have the sweet honor of loving on them weekly and it has been a wonderful addition to our rooms. They are brave and courageous and working hard to become all Christ designed them to be.

A few updates on the media side of the ministry is Royalty4Real Radio for Women has seen an incredible increase of listenership which has tripled in numbers. The number of nations logging on has also increased and honestly I’ve done nothing different. I can only attribute it to the move of the Holy Spirit. The ladies who launched shows wrapped up their yearly program and we will see another airing later in the Spring.

The 320 Podcast has continued to do well and is now available also on YouTube and for now I’ve halted the Live show on Wednesdays to add some extra rest for me. I keep getting lovely messages in response to the podcast and it seems God moves the most when it’s an unexpected message that drops into my heart rather than something I have well-planned:)

The Sparrow Newspaper is wrapping up this month for 2026 and enters into its 4th year. That simply seems impossible but it is true. 

NEW is our Thursday nights in 2026. While our Monday evenings are still our monthly gatherings, we have added a Book Club to dig into some lovely Christ centered works that build up faith and share testimonies of the saints. It is something the Lord was very adamant about and I do believe it will be quite fun and encouraging. Thursdays will be our Equipping Classes with Boundaries, Beyond Basics, beginning in Jan for 5 weeks and I will lead a Kingdom Leadership Training for 6 weeks in March looking into the leadership of Nehemiah and working through real life scenarios that leaders should prepare for to become wise in the Kingdom.

God has raised up beautiful leaders with Debby Mathis and Jennifer Johnson leading Boundaries and in the Spring we will be expanding our help with Jamie Lynn Flanakin and Nancy Ludlam by launching 320 book publishing for women in need of help doing so. Jamie will take the lead, Nancy will oversee editing, and I will be leading the creative direction of the projects.

Mentor Me finished its first Fall Semester and is currently enrolling for our Winter Semester. It is astounding what God is doing in His daughters. From Kingdom T-Shirt Ministries to Artistic Memoirs, to women’s homes, and Creative books to help children with grief. All of these we are walking alongside to keep God’s artisans moving forward with a support system that helps them fulfill their ministries.

As you can see, the enemy has not kept us silent or halted our taking of the land for the Kingdom. In fact, I was set to take a two week vacation that was anything but when the Lord began to download 4 new girl’s resources for ages 6-10. We just launched the last of them on Amazon. 3 girl’s books and a brand new newspaper for girls which will be printed periodically.

There is nothing boring about the Kingdom of God. It is full of adventure that is often unexpected. He graces us season to season for “this” and then for “that.” Discerning the shifts is not always easy but necessary. I am still learning the art of this but He is faithful to help always.

I want to thank you all for your support, your prayers,  your donations, and your encouragement. We still operate on donations only desiring that finances are never a hindrance between the people and Christ. We’ve seen continued healing and continued deliverance in 2025 and expect an increase in both as God continues to move.

May you each find new adventures with Christ in the coming year but most of all may you stay close to the FIRST LOVE. His presence is the best adventure of all.

Love Much, 

Shelly
