Resources
There are many resources available about chronic pain in general, but unfortunately not many from a faith-based perspective. Part of the vision of Living Waters ministry is to help raise awareness of this hidden epidemic in the church, and make resources available so that the light can be brought into the shadows. Many of us with chronic pain and illness feel isolated, alone, forgotten and without hope. Our hearts cry out, "I am here, but you do not see me - please see me!"
We have an incredible opportunity as the body of Messiah not only to reach people who are suffering, but also to encourage everyone, no matter the challenges being faced, to use the gifts that they have been gifted with! I invite you to come on this journey as we seek to make a difference and allow the Lord to use all things for His purpose and glory!
