LIVING WATERS ASSEMBLY OF GOD MISSIONS
Living Waters Assembly of God (LWAOG) is fully committed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and providing assistance for the needy and the poor in Spirit, in our community and the world around us.
We, as a church family, are so blessed to have so many willing to serve with joyful hearts. We may be a 'small' church by some standards, but what we lack in numbers, we make up for in devotion to Jesus Christ and all of His children, great and small. Hallelujah! Amen.
Jesus said, "For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me [with help and ministering care]; I was in prison, and you came to Me [ignoring personal danger].’" Matthew 25:35-36
". . . if any man serve me [Jesus Christ], him will my Father honour." John 12:26
"My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." 1 John 3:18
REACHING our community and the WORLD THROUGH MISSIONS AND MINISTRIES for christ
Feed The Flock
Thanksgiving Day Feast: For the last nine years, we have been blessed to have been able to feed the church family and community a very delicious, homemade and free Thanksgiving Day feast. Last year, we provided almost 200 meals in three hours, including delivery to anyone in the local area, who is unable to come in person, as well as curbside pickup in front of the church.
Many blessings to Tony Cruz, his wife, Keila, and the entire Cruz Family, as well as all of the volunteers who help in these ministries to Feed the Flock, and thanks be to God for their tireless dedication to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and for listening to His call. Praise God! Amen.
Adopt-A-Family
It is never too early to start thinking about Christmas time, especially when it comes to giving. For the last several years, Living Waters Assembly of God has adopted through Child Services multiple families, in order to provide the children of those families with a Christmas miracle. Each year, our church members' generosity continues to overwhelm us, as we have been able to assist many families in need. Jodi Chaplin heads up the ministry, along with her dedicated volunteers. Their endless energy, patience and charity for this cause is inspiring. Last year, the church provided a very Merry Christmas to over 20 families, two to three children per family. Each child is provided with Christmas gifts totaling roughly $100, which are carefully and lovingly selected and purchased by Jodi Chaplin and other dedicated volunteers. If you would like to donate money for the Adopt-A-Family Ministry, please place your gift in an offering envelope, and be sure to write on the envelope, "Adopt-A-Family," or speak to Jodi Chaplin in church.
Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Samaritan's Purse, and reaches children in the United States and all over the world.
Watch a short video here, and experience the love and joy of children opening their gifts. For many, this is their first time ever receiving a gift.
"Since 1993, over 188 million boys and girls in over 160 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ."
At LWAOG, our local Operation Christmas Child Ministry has been directed by Barbara Sund for several years, along with her faithful husband and worker, Verne Sund, and a committed crew of volunteers. Together, every year, they pack and provide hundreds of Christmas shoe boxes filled with necessities and gifts of all kinds, along with the Gospel story of Jesus Christ.
The church family appreciates Barbara, Verne and all of the volunteers, for their tireless devotion to Operation Christmas Child. The entire project is no small undertaking, and Barbara and the team handle it efficiently, with joyous and giving hearts. They truly are Warriors for God in this tremendous service to Jesus Christ.
In 2022, LWAOG's Operation Christmas Child Ministry packed and processed almost one thousand shoeboxes, to be distributed in the United States and across the world to Children of God, spreading the gospel of Christ and the gift of discipleship. Hallelujah!
Pastor David's Community Outreach
Five years ago, Pastor David began a community outreach ministry, with the goal of providing every address in Greenfield, MA, with a DVD containing three highly popular Jesus movies, as well as various church literature. He made it his personal mission to reach our surrounding neighbors with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, by literally walking the streets of the neighborhoods, and passing on the hope of which the world is so desperately needful, which is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you, Father God, for bringing Pastor David to Living Waters Assembly of God. He is truly blessed, and a blessing, and he brings meaning to the saying, Practice what you preach! Hallelujah!
Pastor David began this tremendous, and much-needed, ministry with 8,000 DVDs to hand out. Today, only 900 DVDs remain. Hallelujah! Praise God.
If you have been looking for the perfect way to serve God, then look no further. To those who wish to get involved in this ministry, you will be provided with a bag of 100 DVDs, and a list of street names where you will hand out the DVDs. You simply walk down the assigned street, and leave one DVD per house number, on the porch or steps. See Melanie Garcia in church, or call (413) 272-9322, to get involved. Will you be one who can say, Hey, I helped with that ministry for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?
Youth And Children's Special Gatherings
At LWAOG, we never miss an opportunity to spread the Word of God and the Good News about His Son, Jesus Christ, to the children and youth of our community and surrounding areas.
On various holidays throughout the year, we open up the church to the community, and invite children from far and wide to join us in celebration of Jesus. He is the center of everything we do, and we do it all for the glory of God! 1 Corinthians 10:31
We are truly blessed as a church family to have so many devoted volunteers, eager to earnestly serve our Lord and Savior. May your rewards from God be abundant. Amen.
