Minnie Coleman-Vice President and Administrator
Dick and Minnie Coleman began teaching at Living Waters in 1987. They had pastored several churches for a number of years before coming to live at Living Waters in 1990. After they moved to Balsam Grove, they led Bible studies, taught in retreats, and traveled extensively, holding retreats and seminars.
Dick went to be with the Lord in 2000, and Minnie continued on at Living Waters becoming the vice-president and administrator. Dick and Minnie have three sons who are married, 12 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
Minnie has always had a great concern for the Church and to see it blossom into full bloom that “the world may know” who Jesus is and His works. As the Living Waters’ team is molded into His likeness and we move together in His will, we become a part of the Kingdom of God, maturing the saints.
Hazel Langford, Secretary and Treasurer
Earl and Hazel Langford moved to Living Waters in 1988 from Lake City, Florida. God called them individually to this ministry. Earl was called to be the gardener and to raise vegetables for the ministry. Hazel was called to assist Sue Wiatt in whatever capacity was needed. Today, Hazel serves as secretary/treasurer and bookkeeper for the governing board. She also ministers in counseling.
Earl and Hazel have three children and five grandchildren. They will celebrate 50 years of marriage in December.
