Born on the emerald isle of Sri Lanka, Shelvi Gilmore was miraculously healed from appendicitis at the age of 11 and immediately gave her heart to Jesus. At 19, she left home on a short-term mission trip from which she has yet to return, spending the next 45 years in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and many other countries. She has participated in massive open-air crusades, street preaching, church planting, the training of indigenous workers, and in ministry to refugees, to victims of civil war, and to survivors of natural disasters.
Now based in Franklin, TN with her husband Greg, she provides training to pastors and emerging leaders among Pakistan’s severely persecuted Christian minority via online meetings, and prays with many locally for healing and deliverance. Shelvi also periodically visits the five vocational women’s sewing centers has she established in Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Her powerful ministry of the Word, peppered with firsthand accounts of amazing miracles and liberal doses of uproarious humor, has taken her in recent years to Brazil, South Africa, Hungary, France, Sweden, Britain, Canada and throughout the U.S.
