LIVING EPISTLES MINISTRIES AND
FOUNDER SHEILA R. VITALE
#01 [12/19/2017]
Headquartered in Port Jefferson Station, New York, since 1988, Living Epistles Ministries is a teaching organization that distributes Christian literature and lectures on tape at absolutely no charge. Interested parties can access the organization’s literature online through its official website. Its audio cassettes are available through lending libraries in the United States, Europe, and Africa, among other geographic regions. The content distributed by Living Epistles Ministries (LEM) is the life work of the organization’s founding teacher and pastor, Sheila R Vitale.
Chronically ill since she was a child, Sheila R Vitale was traveling approximately five hours round-trip to work in Manhattan five or six days per week. Despite her many challenges, she thirsted for mature and well-developed Christian teaching. In prayer with the Lord, Ms. Vitale asked, “Where is the church that will satisfy me?” She was quite surprised when the answer came back. “Will you do it?”
Ms. Vitale ultimately answered “yes.” LEM slowly began several months later with a prepared message about witchcraft at a casual Christian gathering. After a slow and spontaneous start to the meetings, they eventually increased to several times each week.
