Victoria Bowlin To Perform at Rachael Shirey Flowers Farewell Concert

Nashville, Tenn – Popular 65/40 Nashville recording artist, Victoria Bowlin will be joining her family, The Shireys, for a special New Year’s Eve reunion concert event on Tuesday, December 31, 7:00 pm, at the Community Church Of Praise in Stockbridge, Georgia. A love offering will be received in lieu of ticket sales.

Being billed as a “Farewell Concert,” it will mark the last performance by Rachael Shirey Flowers. Rachael has made the decision to step down from full time traveling ministry so she can spend more time with her family, and be more involved in ministry at her own local church. Of the move Rachael states “I feel led to focus on a different type of ministry with my husband in our home church. God has called us to work as a team, and we believe that time is now.”

Victoria is pleased and thankful to be able to take time from her own busy touring schedule to join her family, The Shirey’s, in this important event. She traveled and ministered with her family over 20 years before stepping into solo ministry, with her husband, Aaron Bowlin, five years ago. Victoria stated, “I look forward to bringing in the New Year with my family and watching Rachael step into a new season of life and ministry.”

The Shireys

The Shireys will continue to travel and minister, and further information about their future endeavors will be released soon. No concert dates will be missed or rescheduled as they make this transition. Of the upcoming change, Wayne Shirey says, “God has great things in store for The Shireys, and we are looking forward to continuing to travel and minister. We’re not quitting any time soon.”

Victoria Bowlin and Husband Aaron Involved in Near Head-On Collision

Victoria Bowlin and Husband Aaron Involved in Near Head-On Collision

PURLEAR, N.C.- 65/40 Recording artist Victoria Bowlin and her husband, evangelist Aaron Bowlin, were recently involved in a near head-on collision recently.

Victoria said, “I just want to thank God for His protection!  We were around exit 148 on I-20 W in Alabama, only 45 mins from our hotel that evening, when a drunk driver was driving about 70 miles an hour straight towards us on the wrong side of the six-lane interstate. Aaron swerved just in time, missing a head on collision with this car. The car then hit the truck behind us, sending both of them spinning down the interstate and down an embankment behind us, and we pulled off immediately. My valiant husband jumped out of the car and ran to check on the guy that had just wrecked behind us, while I called 911. The drunk lady missed us by inches in the front, and the truck behind us missed us by inches in the back. I absolutely believe that God had an Angel in front of us and one behind, protecting us. The wreck wound up involving multiple cars. Thankfully, only one was injured. They had to pry his door open to get him out and took him away in an ambulance. He was hurt but okay. Be in prayer for him. This is why it’s so important not to drink and drive. Things could have been a lot worse and ended in a much different way. I’m so thankful that God is in control, and we were able to walk away without a scratch on us or our vehicle. Praise the Lord!”

Victoria and Aaron were shaken but not hurt. The duo was able to keep all dates on their itinerary.

Dream Come True for Victoria Bowlin

A Message from Victoria:

When I was a little girl, my grandmother told me to write a letter to God as a prayer of what my heart’s desires where. I did just that, and singing on the National Quartet Convention main stage was on that list. I remember sitting in the bleachers year after year at NQC and silently praying that one day I’d get that opportunity. One year someone gave me their NQC Artist badge as a souvenir, and as soon as I got home, I stuck that badge in my Bible at Philippians 4:13 and prayed over it.
On Wednesday, September 28, 2016, my prayers were answered, and my lifelong dream came true! I had the honor of being selected from the Artist Spotlight Showcase that afternoon to sing on the Main Stage! Funny thing is, when they called my name, none of my family was there! My husband had gone to get his hair cut, and the rest of my family was out eating. I just about fell out of my chair. All I could do was cry and thank God for His blessings and favor. The actual main stage performance experience was awesome! I was too excited to be nervous. I had so much fun. It was truly an honor and a dream come true!

Great job Victoria!
