Oasis of Prayer Ministries Present
A Candlelight Prayer Service
For Healing and Restoration
August 16, 2008
7:00 P.M.
Bruce Chapel @ University Of Houston
This will be a unique prayer service, a time of praise and worship and Reverend Mattie Criddell will lead prayers for Healing, Renewal, and Reconciliation. These are difficult times that we are living in; wars and rumor of wars, economic distress, critical mortal issues, family conflict, lost of employment, business crisis, as well as issues that concern our health - physical, mental and spiritual stability. We need a time of being in the presence of God where we can talk to him and listen while he talks to us. This will be such a time when we will light an individual candle of prayer that will remind us of the promise and presence of God. ‘Jesus promised that where two or three were gathered that he would be with them’ (Matthew 18:20).
“For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ”
(2 Corinthians 4:6).

About the Founder of Oasis of Prayer Ministries
Reverend Mattie B. Thornton Criddell
Reverend Mattie Criddell believes that a viable prayer life is absolutely essential for spiritual development and Christian living; and thus she is dedicated to using her spiritual gifts of teaching and preaching to facilitate the development of an effectual prayer life for all who desire it. She has served God’s people through the Ministry of Prayer for over fourteen years.
As the Staff Pastor of Prayer Ministry for The Church Without Walls, she was responsible for every aspect of prayer for the church-body of fourteen thousand active members. She also shared in leading and preaching for the worship experience each Sunday for three of five church services.
Oasis of Prayer Ministries is a new call on her life. Reverend Mattie believes that every answer of “yes” to God’s call requires another “yes”, and thus she has answered God’s call to establish Oasis of Prayer Ministries. She has been called by God to help men, women and children everywhere to develop a meaningful prayer life and to maintain a relationship with Him. She anticipates that this ministry of prayer will give her greater opportunities teach the biblical message and methods of prayer, and to lift up the Name of Jesus to a lost world.
