Dear Friend,

At The Water's Edge Ministry has one goal in mind: to bring "the healing Light of Christ to a world in darkness and despair" in a PLACE OF PRAYER FOR HEALING. I want everyone to have the experience of meeting the Jesus who has been written and talked about through the centuries, the same Jesus, yesterday, today and forever in this contemplative prayer experience. You can help make this a reality.

This ministry of prayer for healing is committed to keeping the focus which is Jesus and one vision, one goal, one mission--to touch the world with this Gospel message--the healing light of Christ. I have been directing this prayer for healing ministry for over 13 years reaching out to thousands with the love and mercy of Christ around the country and to the world through the Internet. To help fulfill this mission in our world, we need to grow and this is why I am seeking a PLACE OF PRAYER FOR HEALING right here in Ohio.

PLACE OF PRAYER FOR HEALING

WE HAVE LAND THAT HAS BEEN DONATED TO THIS MINISTRY
Two individuals have been touched by our Lord through this ministry and have donated substantial tracts of real estate in Kentucky and Massachusetts for us to build. But God had other plans for the ministry.

WE’VE MOVED BACK TO OHIO!
Our desire is to construct a 10,000-square-foot eco-friendly PLACE OF PRAYER in beautifully sculptured wooded natural landscape setting nestled in a wooded forest area, thereby lending itself to the serene, retreat-like atmosphere that will be conducive to “prayer at the water's edge”.

HOW CAN I HELP?
First, please pray for this ministry. I trust you to partner with us in making this a reality and to be one of 3,000 people who will contribute $1,000. for us to begin construction on the project. I am counting on the many generous friends like you, with your prayerful and financial support, to achieve our goal and as a partner together we will reach people and help change lives.

AT THE WATER'S EDGE MINISTRY PRAYER FOR HEALING CENTER
- We plan a space that has an open area with natural sky lighted faulted ceilings to be used as a chapel to accommodate 200 or more people for ongoing prayer for healing services, conferences and retreats on a daily basis.

-- We plan to have meeting and office areas plus a state-of-the-art studio for our computer network and Internet base for radio and high-tech multimedia promotion and production. We are NOW reaching over 65 countries with this Gospel message of prayer for healing on a weekly basis (soon to be daily broadcasts and podcasts online).

-- We plan a kitchen and storage area, and enough workspace to organize and prepare all our resources and day-to-day activities for direct mail fulfillment of ministry and related products and materials that we send out all over the country and worldwide.

-- We plan to have a contemplative retreat facility to house 15 retreatants at any given time at our place, incorporating bedrooms, bath and shower facilities as well as a conference room with scenic views of the many reflective gardens that surround the center.

You are in the company of a special group of committed friends of Deacon Frank J. O'Connell and ATWE Ministry, who have pledged to work alongside Deacon Frank as he reaches out with life-changing truth to lost, broken and desperate people. Our aim is to help others experience the abundant living God always intended them to have through healing prayer at our Prayer for Healing Center.

My hope is that you will offer a gift higher than you were planning to give.

That is why I am asking for an extraordinary gift of $1,000. Some of you may be so moved by the Spirit to contribute more -- $5,000 or even $10,000. We are a 501c3 non-profit ministry and all contributions are tax deductible so you will receive a letter that can be used for tax purposes if you so desire.
