Greg Shumake

I am a native of California. I currently serve as co-laborer and partner with Wilbur Ministries with Messianic world renown worship leader, Paul Wilbur. Together we impact the world nationally, internationally, and cross-culturally with the universal life-changing message of Christ. We work tirelessly to accomplish the mandate: TO CHANGE THE WAY THE WORLD WORSHIPS. Raised in Oakland, I began in music early on in life and started playing piano at age 15. One major turning point for me happened in 1980 while attending Castlemont High School there in Oakland. Performing in concerts with the school Jazz Band, Concert Band, and choir "The Castleers," I gained exposure to the "power of the stage". But it was in 1984 in Riverside CA where I surrendered to the "Power of the Spirit of God." Always aspiring to be as excellent as possible in my music, I began holding solo concerts in churches located in Southern California. I thought performing was what I was supposed to do, but God had other plans. In 1989, I noticed that my concerts began to change from performances to worship services more and more. And in 1991, I launched headlong into the worship and praise format of music. I still preached, played, and sang, but the focus was more on the presence of God than my own talent. In September of that year, my family and I relocated to Colorado Springs with my employer at the time. While there, I continued to pursue the music and began to travel beyond the local Colorado boundaries to minister. God would open doors and I would walk through. In 1997, I became the worship leader for Grace Fellowship Church, now known as Church For All Nations in Colorado. While there for 3 1/2 years, God began to stir the hearts of my wife Brenda and I about the next step toward destiny and purpose. After much prayer and Godly counsel, we relocated to Nashville, TN where we resided under the ministry of the Oasis Church, pastored by singer/songwriter/evangelist Danny Chambers. Most recently, we relocated again to Jacksonville, FL where we serve Wilbur Ministries full time. As a singer, songwriter, preacher, conference speaker, and worship leader, my passion is to see the nations healed and delivered in every area, spirit, soul, and body. My desire is to see all people released to love and worship the Lord in spirit and in truth, seeking the face of God more than His hand... -- -- -- -- CDBABY LINK for GREG SHUMAKE: Safe Haven --
