Praise, Prayer, Promises

Prayer is talking to God, our Creator.  He created us and loves us and wants to have a relationship with His children that is vibrant and honest.

Praise Him all you nations, every tribe and tongue, all you people, for God is greatly to be praised. 

Promises God has made to His children are the hinges that hold the glorious gates of heaven open.

 Good news! God's love is transforming lives.

Extraordinary things take place when people come together to accomplish their goals.

   Thank you to all who have donated to help our efforts in the Philippines to aid the victims of a devastating hurricane in December 2013.  We will continue to support Pastor Leo as his family ministers to these hurting people.  WFR ships goods to Davao Oriental to be distributed among the poor.  Pastor Leo reported that many people were homeless, had no water, food, or transportation.  Many people lost their loved ones.  WFR has helped them through these extreme difficulties.

 Partners, together we are touching hearts and changing lives.  Your generous donations make this work possible.

DEC 2013 There was widespread destruction in Davao Oriental from the typhoon. 

But God blesses the work of our hands as we reach out to help them rebuild their lives.

 MAY 2014  Hundreds of pounds of goods, including food, backpacks and school supplies are being shipped and distributed to families and children who live in poverty in Mindanao, Philippines.

JULY 2014  WFR presents a gift to

SARC Santa Ana Shelter Home

 December 2013 

Santa Ana Shelter Home Outreach

      Dec 2013   Water From the Rock presented Christmas presents to each of the girls at a drug recovery shelter home in Santa Ana, and we were warmly welcomed.  Some of the girls shared with us about their destructive lifestyle on the streets, how they had lost everything, and how God was giving them a second chance at life and restoring their hope and their families. 

   We cried and prayed together as they told about how hard their lives were and how much God was doing for them at the shelter home.  We want to thank our partners for their generosity in giving and thank all of them for supporting this life changing outreach. 

MUSIC FEST JULY 2012

HOUSE OF MERCY CHURCH    BISHOP CA

    Pastor Stan Summers and House of Mercy Church hosted a Music Fest on the Indian Rez in Bishop, CA. There was a lot of good music, fellowship, eating BBQ and being merry. Rhet & Pete had a great time with our friends and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. Water From the Rock brought clothes and toys for the kids and watched them play around, dance, and have a good time. Stan's band was jammin with Janine, his daughter, on keyboards.  Rhet brought her guitar and played with their talented muscians as we all sang worship songs. What an awesome Music Fest 2012!

Missions in the Mountains

There is a missionary in North Carolina from Wings of Faith East, Pastor Alan Eakin, who is ministering to the poor and needy in the Appalachian Mountains.  Alan is retired but not from the Lord's work.  He and his wife are dedicated to helping the widows and orphans, homeless and hungry.  Water From the Rock supports their ministry outreaches and, because of our dedicated partners, we were able to help them get a new transmission for their Silverado to truck goods up into the mountains.  Alan is a pilot and is waiting for their first airplane which will greatly increase the scope of their missionary efforts in the eastern states and Midwest.         JUNE 2012

see photos below

Here's the old Silverado with a new transmission that will haul goods into the mountains with ease.  Alan is giving her a shower.

This mother and baby had to relocate due to adverse circumstances and received much needed help from Alan and his team at WOF East.  

  Our mission is clear, Water From the Rock will preach the Gospel and help the poor with your help precious partners.  God is blessing the labor of our hands for His glory here on earth.  Bible studies for children and adults are being  conducted in the Philippines because of the generous support of our friends and partners - see photo above.

Many people who live in poverty are being given hope as we send food, clothing, children's toys, toiletries, and Bible materials out to them and let them know that they are loved.  This year WFR has sent about 1000 lbs. of goods to Davao Oriental where Pastor Leo and Sonia distribute them to help hurting people with the necessities of life and share the love of God with them.  Our last shipment of goods contained 100 packets of seeds and Pastor Leo said the villagers have started gardens that will feed their hungry families.  MAY 2012

   Thank you all for your prayers, which are so important, and for giving generously to this vital outreach. 

   These families lives are being changed through your giving and faithful support. 

Water From the Rock has delivered goods, including food, clothing, Bible materials, toiletries, and basic necessities to the Pastor Leo and Sonia in Davao, Oriental, Philippines and to impoverished people on various Indian Reservations in the southwest as we partner with Wings of Faith Ministries.

WFR is supporting people in tangible ways and giving them new hope. For info on how to make a donation, click Support Our Ministry at the top.

    House of Mercy Church Camp Meeting 2011 on the Paitue Indian Reservation in Bishop CA was a special time of connecting with friends, making new friends, and praising God together.  Pete and Rhet attended jCamp Meeting and were grateful for the messages shared by Native American Pastors about God's goodness and faithfulness.  Some speakers shared the heartache they have been through in life and the ways that God helped them through difficult situations.
