Shelbi is a graduate of Texas A&M University, and her love for helping children has been a passion since she was a teen. That passion was evident as she held leadership positions at church camps, camps for children facing tragedies, camps working with students with special needs, teaching VBS and DNOW as well as other faith based events.

Matt plays multiple roles as part of the One Day Closer Ministries family. With many years experience as a youth pastor, current role as a dad of four children, to include 3 girls, makes his motivation for pouring into young people a priority.
‘Ignite Your Legacy’ attendees are filled with encouragement, reminded of their value, and challenged to embrace their 'Kingdom' purpose.
