Communicate from around the world
Living Waters Church believes strongly in local and worldwide missions. That's why we've sent and are constantly sending and supporting missionaries around the world. In the past we've supported missionaries in Asia, church members in Brazil, and a team of members who will be returning to Waveland, Mississippi in February of 2008.
However, the latest addition to the worldwide missions of Living Waters Church is LWC's own Jade Lehman. Keep in touch with Jade as she travels to Australia to train with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) where she will prepare to journey out into the world to spread the light and love of God's Word.
It doesn't matter where, we've got people out there working on the front lines - catch up or keep in touch with them here.

Breaking the cycle of poverty

Touching lives with Christ's Ministry of Rescue
Lancaster, PA
Drugs, alcohol, lack of education, abuse, mental illness, or just hard luck -- the reasons that people come to us are as varied as the people themselves.
Our Mission is to advance the Kingdom of God
through the Gospel of Jesus Christ
by providing rescue and renewal services
in the City and County of Lancaster and other areas.
Just like you and me, the homeless person is created in God's image. The Bible tells us to look after one another. When a homeless man or woman arrives at our doorstep, they often have basic unmet needs that most people take for granted - food, clothing, and shelter. They need to know that someone does care about them.
Since 1905, Water Street Rescue Mission has striven to meet the many needs of the hungry and homeless in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We offer a variety of services that provide structure, stability, security, self-discipline, and hope.
Water Street Rescue Mission is a member of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions and the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability .
