Ever hear of Living Waters Christian Outreach in Three Springs Pennsylvania?
Probably not. That would be because it did not exist until last Sunday, even it opened it's doors for the first time! This church opened with 129 people in attendance, in a town that has a population of 420! 10 people got saved and/or rededicated to Christ!!
This church is meeting in a building that has housed Three Springs Assembly of God for the past 100? years. In recent decades, attendance rarely reached 40. These gutsy people gathered with me in early November, mapped out a plan to close and re-open under new leadership, new vision, remodeling, and a whole new effectiveness. The South Central Section under Jeff Kettering, provided many thousands of dollars to make it possible.
Also in Site news; The South Hanover site experienced a growth high while opening their new location at the South Hanover YMCA! Jeff and Leah Deitrich are doing a superb job of leading this newly aggressive site!
Jeremiah and Cori Herbert are set to open up a site somewhere here in the area this Spring. And Jason ans Sara Fitch will open in Tulsa (many of the 32 movers will have moved by this weekend)this Fall! And more churches are coming!
Yesterday I heard of another church grand-baby on the way; the church that opened early this year called The River Church of Juniata County, announced that within the next 9 months or so it plans to give birth to its first daughter church! This will bring us to TWO grand-baby churches this year! (Brian Bolt is also opening the Braddock site).
So I am a happy, happy man today. Jesus is building His church like He promised that He would, and I get to have a little role in it!

Thank you pastor and Mrs Hunsinger for your obedience to come to Three Springs, Pa. We attended the first service on Sunday and we are very encouraged about God's vision and purpose for our little community.

The building was built in early 1960's.
