“The Well” is a free Christian publication of Inspirational and Encouraging stories to give a drink of Living Water to a dry and thirsty world.

Beginning with the first month, April 1999, and throughout its first year, over 41,000 copies were printed and distributed free of charge to individuals, churches, food banks, and prison ministries. The distribution has increased to 5,000 copies per issue and it reaches to 27 states, Canada, and Ghana (West Africa).

Kris Rhoades, founder and Editor, writes a story each month, plus the publication utilizes other local authors as well. Included each month is a word from local pastors, in addition to other authors from around the country.

Copies of the publication are available at local churches, bookstores, and businesses.

Although “The Well” began as a monthly publication, financial restraints have prevented that from continuing. The publication continues to be printed on an “as funds are available” basis. This website will be used in the interim to publish stories and articles that will appear in upcoming printed versions. We hope to start with a “once a week” email but increase it to a daily devotional reading. People can subscribe to the email version free of charge by visiting our mailing list subscription page.

A subscription to the printed version is available FREE by request. A $10.00 or more suggested donation would be appreciated to help with expenses.

or you can use a credit/debit card by using the paypal link to the right or below.

Current and past copies are also available – while supplies last – at the publisher, Castle Printing. You can stop in or call during business hours for more information.

Stories that were printed in past issues as well as those that will be printed in future issues, will be posted here.
