The program is available in approximately 1000 churches across the United States and areas of the United Kingdom and Canada.
The Remnant Fellowship Church was founded by a woman in 1999. The Shamblin’s expanded the area by purchasing 40 acres of land, and initially, it was a small gathering place. The building and construction project was finished in 2004. Europe, Asia, Africa, Canada, Australia, North America, and South America are just some of the countries that the church now has members from.
She has appeared in a variety of media outlets and television shows. A Current Affair, The View, The Today Show, CNN’s Larry King Live, and The Early Show have all featured her lecturing. She has been on the covers of Good Housekeeping, People, First, and Quick & Simple.
