- I have been married for almost 31 years to my lovely bride Doreen. We have 3 children. A son Earl, a daughter Jessica, and our youngest son Justin. My daughter is married to Travus and we have 3 lovely grandchildren named Tyler, Tasjia and Dakota.
I was raised in foster homes from the age of 1 1/2 years to age 17 and only became re-united with most of my biological family after my graduation from high school having lived in 19 foster homes. My foster care provided me with years of physical, sexual and emotional abuse. Survival skills became a necessity and I only survived because of my youthful faith.
I accepted Christ as my savior at the age of 14, at age 16 I became a member of the First Baptist Church of Hudson Falls New York and graduated high school at age 17. As a young christian, I was the only teen ever permitted by the Area Council of Churches to preach the Easter Sunday Sunday Sunrise Service. At age 16 I was blessed to preach to 24,000 youth at Keuka College in Keuka, N.Y. at a Young Christian's Youth Conference and Rally.
I went on to be re-united with my biological family after graduation and graduated my way right into a whiskey bottle. I spent the next 10 years trying to find the botom of the bottle while losing a marriage of only 9 months.
I eventually remarried, gave up drinking and started successfully raising a family. I spent the next 23 years in business administration before Multiple Sclerosis ended my career. The same year I was diagnosed, I answered my call to the ministry and began my studies. 7 years later I was ordained a non-denominational pastor and began a ministry as an outgrowth of a christian financial program which closed.
I have used the power of prayer very successfully to complete my studies, live with this incurable disease, and move forward in my ministry. The Lord's work is never done so I look forward to many years in His service!

- Share your Greatest need or desire.
- My greatest desire is to fulfill a Holy Spirit revelation that was given to me as a means to improve the financial health of like-minded people who believe in a scripture from His Holy Word. The forces of Satan gained control and I had to halt the progress I was making. I pray mercifully that the Holy Spirit will once again help me to understand what I need to do to fulfill the vision that was laid on my mind, heart and soul. His work has been left undone and I feel I have failed in His purpose for this vision. Please pray for me that I can once again work toward fulfilling His vision for His people and that I can take personal comfort in knowing that Thy Will Be Done!
- Share a testimony of prayer.
- I would like to share a testimony of prayer that is a little unusual. An 80th birthday had been planned for a lovely christian lady known almost by the whole community for her years of christian deeds. She wore a brooch to the party made from the diamonds in her wedding ring and the rubies and diamonds from her husband's wedding ring who had passed some 24 years earlier. It was the most important physical possession she felt she owned. The only time she did not wear it was when she was sleeping.
The party was attended by about 350 people on the church grounds and was held outside on a beautiful glorious day for this celebration.
Needless to say, she noticed she had "lost" her brooch and this fact literally ruined her celebration and brought her to constant tears. Search parties were formed and even after several hours of intensive searching, the brooch could not be found.
I decided to form a prayer circle around her and then we would do one more search. As the prayer was ending, an uninvited guest arrived and approached me and asked if he could use his metal detector to search on the vast church grounds for coins.Obviously we explained what had transpired and I offered a reward if he should happen upon the brooch. Within 10 minutes he had found the brooch and refused any kind of reward. The party took on a whole new flavor and as the guests were getting ready to say their farewells, I went out in the field to give the young man with the detector another thank you and one of my ministry salvation tracts. He came to church the next Sunday and with-in several months began his personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The irony is that the Prayer Counselor on duty the day he came forward for the alter call was that 80 year old lady who owned the brooch he had found.
Always be willing to talk to Him through prayer!
- Our prayer calls are for 1 hour on Thursdays and Fridays at 7pm EST. You may call in or listen online. Detailed information will always be posted. Do you plan on attending the call? Will you spread the word?
- I will be attending the calls and will spread the word about this magnificent service.

Good afternoon Rev. Atwell,
I need pray for my great nephew, the doctors say that there is no cure and his life expectancy is 6 months to a year. He is currently three months old. He has zellweger syndrome. The family need your healing prays. We are believing right now that he is healed. God Bless, Shirley E, Washington, D.C.
