The Story Behind Imagine Ministries

Meet Shell Perris. Shell decided to follow Jesus in 2000 and was launched into ministry soon after. Whether in bands or as a solo artist, Shell travelled all over the UK and Europe telling people about Jesus, using singing, song-writing, speaking and writing as a way of sharing God’s love with as many people as possible!
