About.
Springs of Living Water is a Christian Fellowship based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado, training and discipling here locally and in other parts of the World such as, India, North Africa, England, Central Africa, Columbia, and other strategic relationships around the World.
The Origin of our ministry came from a vision Pastor Ryan's Stepfather, Mike, had in the early 90s, from the Great Commission, to "Make Disciples . . . Teaching them Everything I have Commanded," which started his journey of discovery of what did Jesus "Command" and are we Making Disciples using those teachings. Out of this calling, Mike's first book written was "Follow Me: A Journey with Jesus", where he, in collaboration with the American Bible Society, combined the four Gospels into one chronological presentation, not changing any of the Scriptures, but rather painting one complete picture to identify the Commands of Jesus. It was out of this work that he identified 263 commands and then began writing 56 lessons using Jesus' own teachings, from his first command "Follow Me" to his last command "Make Disciples", to create what we have now "A Journey with Jesus" Discipleship Program, as Jesus taught, modeled and commanded us to do in his Great Commission. Since the completion of the Discipleship Program in 2004, together, Ryan and Mike have begun using Jesus' own teaching, model, and method of Disciple Making which has truly liberated us in doing ministry and seeing results that are truly fruit bearing as Jesus told us to expect. Originally taught in a Sunday School setting, the Discipleship strategy has truly blossomed to look a lot more like what Jesus modeled himself, as we have seen house moms, welders, teachers, missionaries, pastors, realtors, financial advisors, painters, hair dressers, etc. changing their own lives, their families, their work places, communities, and globally. The true Change Agent has been Jesus' teachings, "The Word of God", and out of which has birthed multiple church plants (which includes Springs of Living Water), multiple pastors released, and many life transformations that you can read at our web site, Key2Changes.com, in addition to the training currently being translated into Hindi and Spanish. Since 2014, a group of Disciple Makers have been meeting at the Jericho Center at Every Home for Christ, here in Colorado Springs, CO, praying for more Workers into the Harvest, in addition to praying for the local churches, pastors, and ministries, to fulfill the Great Commission, to unite our efforts in reaching Every Home for Christ in the next 30 years. |
Established in 2016In 2014 a group of Disciple Makers began meeting at the Jericho Center at Every Home for Christ, in Colorado Springs, CO, praying for more Workers into the Harvest, and praying for the local churches, pastors, and ministries, to fulfill the Great Commission, to unite our efforts in reaching Every Home for Christ, out of which time the Lord prophetically called them out to be "Springs of Living Water", on November 11, 2015. It was over the course of the next year that Pastor Ryan unsuccessfully pursued the idea of a church plant, until God gave him a name of a young local youth pastor to ask about using their church's building for a Saturday morning service, which resulted in "Springs of Living Water" being planted in November of 2016, focused on the ministry of Biblical Discipleship.

Our Ministry Calling
18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water that had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham. And he gave them the names that his father had given them . . . 24 And the Lord appeared to him . . . and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham's sake.” 25 So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the Lord and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well. Genesis 26:24-25
The Ministry Calling, as read in Genesis 26:12-25, where Isaac was asking the Shepherds of the Land if he could unearth the Wells his father Abraham had dug for Living Water, that the Enemy had covered over, causing the land to be barren, to bring Life back to the Land with Springs of Living Water, but would only do it to those Wells that the Shepherds allowed Isaac to unearth; thus the Ministry Calling and our name, "Springs of Living Water".
