DEEP WATERS MINISTRY

What DEEP WATERS MINISTRY does

Deep Waters Ministry is a 501c3 nonprofit Christian organization headquartered in Port Washington, New York (with its usual worship location at Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, NY), founded in 1996 by Diane Scalchunes following her 1992 calling to gather intercessors for revival prayer. The ministry's core function is equipping Christians to identify the voice of God, understand the work of the Holy Spirit, and engage in prophetic intercession through weekly prayer meetings, Bible studies, and Sunday services (currently conducted via Zoom). It serves a small congregation in the New York area and a broader global audience reached through digital content distribution.

The ministry's product portfolio centers on 15 books of prophetic revelation authored by founder Diane Scalchunes, including the 'With All Your Heart' series (Books 1-10), the 'Prophetic Words Given Out In A Congregational Setting' series (Books 1-3), 'In A Way They Can Understand', and 'Spiritual Warfare For Beginners (and the Mature).' Prophetic worship music by Cathy Rose Virgilio is distributed through Spotify, Apple Music, and iTunes. The underlying technology stack is minimal: a WordPress website at deepwatersministry.com, Zoom for virtual meetings, email newsletter subscription, a Facebook page, and standard third-party marketplace distribution. There is no proprietary platform, no mobile app, and no API.

Revenue mechanics operate through three streams: Amazon book sales (one-time purchase), music streaming royalties (recurring micro-payments), and donations/tithes from the congregation (the implicit primary funding source for a 501c3 nonprofit). The go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven, with weekly recurring Zoom-based programming and content marketing through articles and prophecy posts on the website. Customer segments are Christians seeking revival, prophetic intercessors, and local congregation members. Headcount is approximately 7 people with founder-led operations and no external investment, parent company, or institutional funding.
