WELCOME
It is with excitement and anticipation that Sister Shelby and I welcome you to this 2015
Business Meeting.
We are in the “Season of NOW”. This prophetic word spoken to us in the initial moments of
this New Year has been the catalyst for the direction in which the church is moving. This is a
season of Refocus and Redirection and we will be obedient to what God says to do.
God’s grace has been extended to us! He has extended to us His right hand of Favor!
We are excited about what God is doing through Purity, Prophesy and Protocol.
During this season, you need to prepare for the unexpected, the unprecedented, and the
unknown. Stay connected and uphold the vision of the Burning Bush International
Ministries.
Apostle & Mrs. Don W. Shelby, Jr.
THE VISION
OF THE CHURCH
To plant churches to the Glory of God, that will one day be pastored by my spiritual
sons and daughters.
The influence of our ministry is not to be contained within our region. God has given us
a national and international call.
The Burning Bush
International Ministries
purpose is to save souls,
and to reach the lost,
thru the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. It is my desire
and dream to build
multiple worship
facilities throughout the
United States and even
abroad
We are to go into different regions to pull
down strongholds challenge doctrines,
educate, and change the mindset of people
who are held in captivity through demonic
strongholds.
My vision is to build a strong church upon the
shoulders of sons and daughters.
Relationships are more important than
fellowship. A family atmosphere is key in all
ministries that are associated with Burning
Bush.
High praises and worship is a staple for all
Burning Bush Ministries.
Our services are to be structured, but spirit
led.
Our leadership is to be structured, but spirit
led. For God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in
truth.
Burning Bush International Ministries will be filled with many great gifts, talents, and
skill. But the underlying factor in every Ministry gifting is the anointing. The anointing
is the power that will fuel and push Burning Bush International Ministries to the net
dimension.
THE OVERALL VISION
OF OUR CHURCH
To continue to build and complete our building project.
We have currently finished phase 1.
My vision is that the
Ypsilanti church (the
It is our desire to continue our project as long as we can –
DEBT FREE. To continue the work of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
mother church) will be
financially strong so that
we will be in position to
purchase properties in the
near future so that we
might be able to open a
Detroit location and to
build or purchase a
performing arts center to
further the vision of the
Burning Bush Nation
It is my desire that our current growth will be so great that
we will have to increase size of our permanent sanctuary.
Our church will house a banquet facility that will be used
for special events, conferences, dramas, and youth
activities. Our property which sits on 10 acres of land will
become a beacon for the Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, Belleville,
and Taylor communities.
It also provides as a Gateway into Romulus, Jackson, and
surrounding vicinities. The location of the Burning Bush
property off I-94 has the potential to reach a half million
People per month and over six million people per year
The potential for growth is astronomical. We are still
Trusting God for more properties, and Churches that will
Be planted in other parts of
the State, Country, and the
Nation.
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
Our Belief Concerning The Bible
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infalliable written word of God.
OUR BELIEF CONCERNING GOD
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the
Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
OUR BELIEF CONCERNING THE CHURCH
We believe in the Blessed Hope, which is the rapture of the church of God, which is in
Christ, at His return.
OUR BELIEF CONCERNING SIN
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and
faith in
The precious blood of Jesus Christ.
OUR BELIEF CONCERNING SALVATION
We believe tht regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential for personal
salvation.
OUR BELIEF CONCERNING CHRIST
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the
Human body in answer to believing prayer.
OUR BELIEF CONCERNING THE HOLY GHOST
We believe that the baptism in the Holy Ghost, according to Acts 2:4 is given to the
believer which ask for it.
OUR BELIEF CONCERNING SANCTIFICATION
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost by whose indwelling the Christian
is enabled to live a holy and separated life in this present world.
VISION 2015
PURITY
PROPHECY
PROTOCOL
2014 was a year like no other. God has proven himself in our family and home with open
doors in the township to build a brand new facility. God turned the hearts of the fathers in
this city toward this house and gave favor.
The Mantra for 2015 is: Rest, protocol, authority, son-ship, angels, orphan spirits,
prophecy, accountability, newness, re-alignment, familiarity, re-evaluation, spiritual
DNA, worry, stress, in-house warriors, apostolicity, teacher, loyalty, access, and faith.
2015 will be a year of rest. The Lord himself will fight on your behalf.
God has declared and decreed through his word, that this year “2015” would be the year
when he is restoring the house to Purity, Prophecy and Protocol.
We must be united in 2015 that your response will be “offend me before you offend my
Pastor, 1st lady, or the 1st family.” You must be connected in prayer with a pure and loyal
heart.
God is releasing a purifying anointing on sons and daughters. He is equipping each of
you as he extends his right hand of favor upon you to run and not be weary in this season.
God is equipping you to walk and not faint. This is not the season to lose focus, to be
distracted or go off course.
It is in this season that my sons and daughters must emerge. For when I sit, you shall
stand. When my arms grow weary from holding them up in prayer and supplication to the
Lord, you will become my arms and summon the heaven lies on my behalf. God is
calling you, my sons and daughters in the form of Armor bearers, intercessors, church
mothers, deacons, Flare ladies, ministers, music staff, church staff and youth to become
the wall of defense for me, the First Lady and my Family.
In 2015 you must make a choice. Angels have been summoned to fight and to warn.
REPENT! It is the will of God in this house that His people will be found with a
repentant heart of forgiveness and confession. Do not turn a deaf ear to the word and
don’t take God lightly.
You have heard from God and you have to respond.

HOW TO GET MORE INVOLVED
OUTREACH MINISTRY
Christian Outreach is About God, Not Us! God provided for the salvation of the world
through Jesus' death on the cross.
The word pretty much says it all. Out-Reach. Going out into the community—reaching out to
others with the love of Jesus Christ. For Burning Bush International Ministries, showing this
demonstration of love and kindness is done in numerous ways. Locally, it could be as simple as a
free car wash in the community, or as big as an event for Christmas or Easter—and everything inbetween.
AUXILARIES AND MINISTRIES
Burning Bush International Ministries is committed to fostering true spiritual growth by creating a
culture of building community, families, and empowering leaders to use passions and skills that God
has given us. We believe that our Auxiliaries and Ministries offer such an opportunity. Through our
Auxiliaries and Ministries spiritual growth and discipleship take place and leaders are empowered to
use their gifts which God has blessed them with.
VOLUNTEER
This is one of the most exciting, intense, and unique ministry opportunity there
is. If you want to see God use you in ways you never imagined, working here as a
volunteer is one of the highest privileges you’ll ever experience.
If you are interested in being a part of an incredible move of God, then stop by the Churches
AMA Desk in the vestibule and sign a Passion /Volunteer Form.
