We have been living and ministering in Eureka Springs for 14 years. My wife Pam and I visited here in the late 1980s and fell in love with this little town nestled in the Ozarks.
In 2006, we got the opportunity to move to this area and it has been our home since. We thank all the pastors who faithfully serve God, and thank this community for the love, care and support through the years.
Ministry, like business, is an opportunity to bless and encourage people. We have had many opportunities to touch the lives of this community through attractional and missional events, and benevolent situations where real needs were met.
Wellspring Ministries still embodies those original core values and sees loving the people as the beginning to improving their lives. While I have not been flawless in all these pursuits and have had to repent and change course more than once, God has been faithful in allowing us to broker His heart in this town. God is not through in Eureka Springs, nor are we.
Through The Well we have made many friends through church related events, participating in more than 40 parades, some 70 baptisms, and more than100 weddings. The Holy Spirit is still leading us in ways that help restore the image of God in mankind, and even while we were going through accusations, we managed to stay focused on the call of God. Words to a popular song say, “if it’s not good, God’s not done…” With that thought in mind, don’t stop until it gets good again.
