LIVING WATERS
For the proclamation of the Gospel and the edification of the Body of Christ
Living Waters Magazine Nr. 21
May - June 2003
For Blessing and Delight
As you will already have realized, dear reader, you have in your hands the remodeled magazine “Living Waters.” It is remodeled in format and also in content; smaller in appearance, but larger in capacity.
Indeed, the changes that we have introduced will allow us to bring you increasingly varied material, for your edification, exhortation and consolation.
We give thanks to the Lord for allowing us to grow. From today onwards, we will permanently be able to share with you a prophetic word (“Looking toward the future”), and possibly to add other smaller sections.
Our desire is that “Living Waters” constitutes a profitable reading for the whole Christian family. May you find delights and blessings in it, those who are spiritual and those who are not so spiritual; the wise and the not so wise; the elderly and the children; the men and the women; in this country and in any other country where the Lord takes it.
As always, we commend this work –and even ourselves, those who participate in it– to God’s grace, so that He can use it for the glory of His beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
