I grew up in a close Baptist community in Auckland, New Zealand and discovered Mr. Shea’s music in the early 1950’s. As I grew older, I wandered far from the Lord but never forgot Mr. Shea’s inspirational singing. As YouTube emerged, I decided to seek out Mr. Shea’s music there – and was staggered to learn that he was still alive…as was Mr. Graham. This led me to video’s of Mr. Graham’s preaching…and these brought me back to the fold after almost 60 years of backsliding. Without Mr. Shea, I mght never have re-united with the Lord. I only regret that I never took the time to write him a brief note to thank him – but am comforted by the knowledge that he is now fully aware of allhe has done for so many, of whom I am only one
