Greetings Dearest Brothers And Sisters In Christ,

          My Name Is Colin Zimmermann, And Myself And My Beloved Wife, Lori Marie, Are The Founders Of The Waterfall Haven Ministry In Park Hills, Missouri...Our Vision And Primary Mission Is Two-Fold: 1. To Carry The Message Of God's Grace, Eternal Salvation Through The Blood Of The Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ, And The Glorious Manifestations Of The Holy Spirit, And 2. To Offer Spiritual, Financial, Material, And/Or Physical Help Whenever, Wherever, And However It Is Needed...To Whomever It Is Needed By. As We Are Just Starting Out, We Don't Have Much To Offer Except Time, Faith, And Prayers But We're Trusting God To Provide The Provision For The Vision (Silver And Gold We Have Not, But What We Have We Give Freely)! Whether You Are An Individual, Group, Or Ministry In Need Of Assistance, Feel Free To Contact Us, And We'll Do Our Best To Be There For You. If You Wish To Sow A Seed, Feel Even More Free To Contact Us (Just Kidding - Sort Of)...

          We Do What We Do Out Of Love For God, Jesus Christ, And Our Fellow Man, Fully Realizing That No Amount Of Good Works Will Lead To Salvation, Only Grace Through Faith In The Blood Of Jesus Christ Can Accomplish That.   Both Of Us Were Called Long Ago To Establish A Ministry Of Assistance, My Wife Tried Her Best To Honor Her Calling, Whereas I Chose To Ignore Mine For Many Years And Therefore Traveled A Long Dark Road That Included But Was Not Limited To:   Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, Prison, Treatment Facilities, VA Psychiatric Wards, Misery, Loneliness, Suffering, And A Strong Desire To Take My Own Life. Only Through God's Grace And Mercy And The Blood Of My Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ, None Of These Things Are A Part Of My Life Anymore. NOTE:  If I Sound Like A Religious Fanatic, Jesus Freak, Or Whatever You Choose To Call It, I Truly, With All My Heart Understand Your Feelings, As I Have Wavered Somewhere Between Atheism And Agnosticism For Most Of My Adult Life, Just Try To Keep An Open Mind And Give God A Chance. I Never For One Second Believed There Was A God, Or That He Could Or Would Change My Entire Life. The Bible Sounded Like A Bad Fairy Tale, And Most Of The Christians I Encountered Came Off Like Recent Escapees From The State Mental Hospital...But I Kept An Open Mind, Kept On Praying Even Though I Felt Like I Was Talking To Myself, Kept Reading The Bible Even Though It Made Absolutely No Sense To Me, Kept Going To Church Even Though I Felt Like They Were Just After My Money...And Despite My Best Efforts To Remain An Intellectual, Skeptical, Agnostic, I Awoke One Day With Absolute Certainty In My Heart That God Is Real, He Loves Us Unconditionally, He Sent His Son To Die For Our Sins, And His Word Is The Absolute Truth. My Entire Life, And The Lives Of Those Around Me Has Changed So Miraculously, Drastically, And Irrevocably For The Better Through His Grace And Mercy And His Precious Son, Jesus Christ, That I'm Not Even Going To Attempt Putting It Into Words.

          Here's The Summary: Just Know That God Loves You Know Matter What, And Salvation Through The Blood Of The Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ Is Available To EVERYONE! I'm Preparing Further Information On Grace And Salvation As We Speak So Please Be Patient And Check Back Soon....

          Feel Free To Contact Myself Or Lori Anytime With Prayer Requests, Questions, Or If You Just Need Someone To Talk To....

Yours In Christ, Colin M. Zimmermann
