CEO Statement
2023 was a year of change for Living Water World Missions. Some of the changes were anticipated and welcome while others were a surprise. But, throughout the year, and through all the changes that came our way, what we found was that God has been ever faithful to continue to do the work that He has started.
The year started out very well for us with the addition of a new Director of Evangelism, Ms. Jhoselyn Barrios, who had previously been trained as a Missionary and had served with the Church of the Nazarene in Mexico and in Guatemala for a number of years. We also brought on a new Director of Education, Ms. Raquel Orellana, who came to us following her participation in an installation at her church in August 2022.
Both of these ladies were hired to assist and replace our Ms. Gaby, who left us at the end of seven years in June, because she and her husband, Fito, were expecting their first child. Yes, it took two people to replace our Ms. Gaby!
In July, we suffered the sudden and unexpected loss of Mark Cunningham, who was called to his eternal home by our Lord, the one whom we all serve. Mark had served as a Board Member and recording Secretary for our organization for many years and had graced us with his presence on numerous installation trips. His faithful witness, wit and humor are greatly missed, but we rejoice with his family that he is now at peace with his Lord.
In November, Jim Pitkin, a founding member of our Board of Directors, and our Director of Education, stepped aside to take an executive position with Gateway Church in Visalia, California. Jim will also be missed, but he has promised to remain involved with this ministry and we will hold him to that promise.
This year we have been reminded that change is inevitable and that the time we have to be about our Fat hers business grows shorter each day. We are extremely thankful for your support and participation in this ministry, and I hope that you find this report of our activities this last year to be informative and inspiring. We know that we can only do what we do because of your faithfulness. May God bless you richly for your faithfulness.
