Lives are Changed through Living Waters!

Living Waters is a Christ-centered discipleship/ministry program for men and women seeking healing in areas of sexual and relational brokenness; including pornography addiction, codependency, sexual addiction, homosexuality, sexual ambivalence, childhood sexual abuse, transgender issues, and difficulty in establishing and sustaining healthy relationships. Our next program is starting soon.

Here are some powerful testimonies from participants who had their lives changed through the power of Jesus Christ in the Living Waters program. They are used with the permission of the participants.

“I feel that Living Waters has set me on a trajectory that I have always wanted. I want to be ‘in love’ with God. My relationship with Him has greatly improved.”

“Living Waters has taught me that I can be truly honest with God in my prayer life. I don’t need to hide from Him because He already knows everything.”

 “The best part of Living Waters was the small group time. It was here that I felt fully known and fully loved by the other group members, and I felt comfortable sharing my story.”

Years… decades… of countless hurting and broken relationships forged my life. I grew up in a home where my entire youth constantly reinforced the short comings and failures of my character and capability. While in Living Waters I discovered for the first time in my life that I am a perfect creation of God. I have drawn closer to Jesus. I have a desire to know him. I thirst for his living water to know his life so I can forgive and use his word to be the person he created me to be.

The teachings are very relevant. The topics week after week reach different parts of our journeys. The whole program is anointed to reach the areas of our hearts that I don’t think we could reach on our own.

I’ve kind of done this life thing on my own. No one has really been there to stand up for me or protect me. Being in Living Waters and having the ladies in my small group call out the wrongs done to me and be angry about the injustice in my life helped me to see that Jesus saw it all and isn’t okay with it.

When your identity is stolen very early in life, you learn to survive in your environment anyway you can. Even as a believer your choices are twisted in the early lies of self, going down a road of anxiety, disappointment, disapproval and sin. The early wounds become buried in layers of pain and loneliness. Searching and searching for answers led to more pain and frustration.

I came to Living Waters broken, wounded and in a pain that would never stop. Slowly I began to understand my false images and let the anointed leaders at Living Waters work a miracle. I began to press into the resurrection power of Jesus, read the word, do my homework and let Jesus into the walls of self-protection where the pain lived. Layer by layer. I am believing and pressing into all God has for me. Letting go of the past and letting Jesus unfold my future. I thank Jesus for this journey of healing as only He can transform me. I have hope and faith to believe that my continued healing will come. I am drawn closer to His presence and more fully dependent on His provision. I will trust in Him as He establishes my steps.

A female participant.

For the longest time I thought that I needed to fix myself, but Living Waters taught me that I am okay – even loved – both by God and by other people. The small group time was transformative as it opened my eyes to the fact that I can be completely honest: fully known and still fully loved. I can be honest with God and I don’t need to clean up my act in order to approach Him or other people.

I would absolutely recommend Living Waters! I’ve briefly told a couple of friends about it and would love to see them take part someday! It has been such a blessing for me, sharing my story, having someone else say, “Yeah, me too, but here is how I am healing.”

A female participant.

“I would recommend Living Waters to others. I think this is the perfect place for people who wish to go deeper in their healing journey.”

A male participant.

If you or someone you love is struggling with sexual or relational difficulties, there is hope and healing through the power of Jesus Christ.  Call us and ask about attending the next Living Waters program. (586) 739-5114
