Equipping::
Equipping at Water of Life, which is our third core value, occurs primarily through teaching (exposing people to the truth) and training (exposing people to a course of action).
“And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ…” ---Ephesians 4:11-12
This core value, again, speaks to transforming lives. Winning at Water of Life is, “A transformed life demonstrated by being given to God and given to people”. In this case, as we learn the truth in the Word of God, we also receive training in what we are to do with what we learn. It is not just about words, but an action. A changed life is one that loves God and loves people, as well as serves God and serves people. Equipping at Water of Life means more than just attending church or a bible study.
“The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” ---II Timothy 2:2
At Water of Life, this means teaching and releasing people with the purpose of both mind and heart transformation. Practically speaking, all of our small groups will teach and do outreach ministry where they extend themselves to others. Individuals as well are provided with the opportunity to serve by caring for others and putting their knowledge to work, giving life to other people.
