FEBRUARY 2019 UPDATE

14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!

Romans 10:14-15

Living Water's  Global Missions efforts include the United States.  Our Kingdom Builders offerings help support 13 ministries.  Many of these ministries fall under the auspices of
AG U.S. Missions.
U.S. MAPS (U.S. Mission America Placement Service)

"To build a support army that will have diverse ministry which will impact
and assist in the growth of the ministries of the Assemblies of God.” 

U.S. Mission America Placement Service (U.S. MAPS) serves the Assemblies of God by providing opportunities to be involved in ministry, either as a church group or as individuals. U.S. MAPS offers evangelism and construction support to other missionaries and AG churches, districts, colleges, and other facilities across our nation. 

Church teams participate in evangelism projects, construction projects, or both. These teams can vary in size and scope, and their trips last for a short period of time (a few days to a week or more). 

Missionary associates (MAs) usually commit to one to two years of service and work alongside a ministry leader. You will often find an MA helping with administration or maintenance work. This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to assist a missionary—from office work and beyond. 

RVers come from a variety of professional and vocational backgrounds, ages, and gender. Many are retired or near retirement, but don’t have to be. RVers can serve for a few weeks to months at a location, and several spend an entire year traveling across America assisting missionaries and ministries on construction projects.

Association of Related Churches (ARC)
 
The ARC Family is made up of pastors, churches, and leaders with a vision to see healthy and thriving churches in every community, reaching people with the message of Jesus. We do this through building strong relationships, sharing valuable resources, and planting and multiplying life-giving churches in the U.S. and around the world.

Our Kingdom Builders offerings allow Living Water to support this ministry monthly.  Their primary mission is based on Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 New Living Translation (NLT).

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.  Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

On January 27 25 churches supported by ARC launched !   We praise God for His faithfulness.
The Grid Church launched January 27
 
12!  The most important number of the day...12 people committed their lives to Christ during the first service at The Grid Church !  At the next service, Super Bowl Sunday, 2 more people made a decision for Jesus.  We are rejoicing with them !   The Grid Church is one of the 25 ARC churches that launched January 27.   Living Water also supports The Grid Church directly.

This work is another example of what our Kingdom Builders offerings are doing.
