In the early 80's, Tom Shuford was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Doctors only gave him three years to live at the most. His whole world seemingly collapsed. But that wasn't the end of his story. Totally paralyzed, confined to a wheelchair for 8 years and with lungs collapsed, he never lost hope. Prayers were lifted up to God as he went through this battle. The recovery was slow but, eventually Tom began to heal. Now he wants to share the hope he has found and tell what the Lord has done for him!

In 2007, Psalm 23 Ministry's original focus was to minister to the needs of those going through a life threatening illness like Tom has experienced.

In 2011, Several pastors and a couple other Christians communicated with Tom that they too also wanted to reach out to others through this ministry with the love of Jesus. A board of directors has been formed and Psalm 23 Ministry has now become its own entity.

My greatest desire is to tell what the Lord has done for me. If you know of someone at a prison, jail, rehab or wherever a door might be open, please ask that person if they would be willing for me to share. I don't charge anything, I just desire to share Jesus. I just want to let people know He wants to give them hope like He has given me!

Please keep P23 in your prayers!
