100 Altars
A special call to prayer
Abundant Altars that Lead to Abundant Prayer
No Laughing Matter where God Gives Joy
Brother Dan Watson built an altar for himself and his family. This altar was the place in his home where he would take all his cares and troubles to the Lord. If a child was sick he would take them to this altar to pray and it was there they received their healing. It was this altar that provided the inspiration of a pastor, Michael D. McGuire, to build and dispense 100 altars to the families of the church and some others that have been members. The purpose of these altars is a call to prayer. The altars have no power in and of themselves but provide a reminder to pray.
This ministry has taken on a life of it's own. Altars have been shipped all over the United States and to several foreign countries.
This altar is now in the home of Dan Watson's son John Watson.
Brother Lewis Price was the primary carpenter of the 100 altars. He measured, cut, routered, put together, and painted many altars. Many other men provided labor in the building and moving of the altars but Brother Lewis made this a labor of love and speaks with a quaver in his voice and a tear in his eye of the hopes that these altars will bring someone closer to God.
Brother Lewis Price Continues to build altars and is willing to train others as Altar Builders of Texas. Contact Bro. Price for shipping and cost of these altars. If you would like to order one of these altars or schedule a service you may contact the church at

Brother Price has made the altar ministry a point of evagelism. He has shared his burden with other denominations and even shared this ministry with some public figures. Sarah Palin was given an altar and responded with a hand written thank you.
The building took several weeks but slowly but surely the altars came into being.
On December 30, 2007 a special communion service was held to dedicate the altars and disperse them with the families of Abundant Life United Pentecostal Church. The dream became the reality.
