Living Water Fellowship
Pastor Doug and Nathalie have been ministering for nearly 20 years. Pastor Doug has been a children and youth pastor and pastor of helps. Together they have ministered to children, youth, young adults and adults. Their desire is to minister God's love and healing to all generations.
Pastor Doug received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in history and secondary education from Geneva College and Nathalie has a Bachelor of Science Degree in pre-med/biology from Oral Roberts University Tulsa, Oklahoma and a post-graduate degree.
Part of their vision for Moon Township and the airport area is to help people use their God-given talents to minister Christ to others in many creative ways. You can read about some of these creative ways here on the website. You can also listen to the message entitled, "Fully Persuaded" (part 1) to hear Pastor Doug share the specifics of the vision.
Ezekiel 47 talks about the healing waters of God that flow from his throne. Pastor Doug and Nathalie believe if the church, which is the people, will allow the living water of the Lord Jesus Christ to flow freely from them, many people will come to know God's love and find their purpose in life.
God has called us to help the needy, the hurting, and the poor, wherever, whenever, whoever, and whatever.
Pastor Doug is ordained through the International Fellowship of Christian Assemblies (formerly the Christian Churches of North America, www.ifcaministry.com), Transfer, PA. The church is part of the Northwest District of the IFCA. Pastor Doug and Nathalie live in North Fayette Township with their daughters, Kylie and McCall.
This past Flag Day we passed out 515 flags with a note reminding everyone to pray for our troops. We also fed 15 troops from the Navy, Marines, and Army. It was such a blessing to serve those who have put their lives on the line for our freedom. God bless America!
We held our first annual "Community Safety Awareness Day" at Bon Meade School. Over 200 visitors were treated to a day filled with free food and drink and bike safety sessions by the Moon Police. Valley Ambulance Authority and the Moon Township Volunteer Fire Company gave tours of their trucks and safety equipment, TREK bicycle from Robinson provided free bike repairs and everyone had a great time. Helmets were given away, as well as many gifts from area businesses. We were also treated to a skateboard exhibition by some local teens. A big thank you to everyone who volunteered, gave donations, and participated!
PREACH TEACH REACH
Saturday, May 29th, LWF "reached" over 50 homeless and less fortunate people at No Walls Ministry's weekly service and luncheon. We were blessed to be able to provide and serve the meal and many lives were touched with the gospel. You can check out this awesome ministry to the homeless on our links page.
In July 2009, Pastor Gary & Pastor Doug went to Bolivia and with the help of a team of 15 Americans and 10 Bolivians they completed a 50' X 94" concrete basketball court, furnished the home for orphaned and abandoned children, worked on outfitting the buildings with gutters and downspouts, and provided 100 pieces of clothing to the children. God was faithful and provided all the necessary resources. You can find out all about this wonderful ministry be going to our links page and clicking on the Hands of Love link.
Our next mission trip is scheduled for October or November. Our Church plant, Iglesia Agua de Viva, Church of the Living Water, is in need of a building. We are in the process of purchasing land and will be raising the necessary funds for the building project. We need prayer, finances, and workers. If interested please contact the church.
