HISTORY
Steve and Sue Wiatt were a Christian couple from Tallahassee, Florida. Sue would travel monthly to different towns in South Georgia and North Florida doing Bible studies and teaching. Sue had a small group of supporters that followed her around from meeting to meeting.
In July of 1978, the LORD told Sue “There will come a time when the family will need a place of refuge. As Noah began building the Ark, I would have you to begin now to prepare a place of refuge for the family. It is to be in the mountains of Western North Carolina within a 50 mile radius of Lake Junaluska. It is to be a place where His people can come to at NO CHARGE; those who can will pay for those who cannot”. Thus through a series of events and by God’s direction and intervention, the property now known as Living Waters was introduced to Sue and her group of supporters.
In January 1980, by God’s grace and intervention, Sue and her group was able to purchase this property and Living Waters Ministry was started and is still going strong today, some 31 years later, holding retreats, ministering to families and individuals, young and old.
Living Waters is not a church, but a ministry that GOD is using to bless, restore, and change the lives of many individuals that come here.
Living Waters stands on its’ own. It is not and never has been under the covering of any church, any other ministry or organization.
Living Waters is governed by 12 Governing Board members and 12 Advisory Board members, both men and women, all coming from many different churches, faiths, and walks of life, coming from 5 different states in the South Eastern US.
Where GOD is at work blessing and changing lives, restoring relationships with HIMSELF and with others, restoring marriages and families.
