Ed and the Wells of Salvation, Inc. Years...
Over the years, Ed often said he wanted to start his own church -- a dream he never realized. But God had another plan for him. In the mid-1970s, Ed hosted a successful radio ministry while pastoring a United Methodist church in Helena, Ohio. This experience in broadcasting ultimately inspired him to establish “Wells of Salvation, Inc.” in 1979 as an independent, non-profit ministry incorporated in Ohio.
God worked through Ed, Sparkie and the WOS ministries associates in many ways to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here are some of them:
