Having had the ability to be a part of this group for many years I can personally attest to their offices and look over every aspect of their operations, as well as meet with each and every one of them one on one, go through their amazing street ministry program in which they are VERY forth coming as to what goes on in their ministry. For those that think, falsely claim, and try to make others think this group is anything but legit and uses absolutely every penny they can for reaching the lost I am sorry to tell them they are extremely mistaken. There are few in this world that care about those that do not have a relationship with the Lord more than Ray Comfort and his amazing staff and if I had my dream I would be one of them even for no pay. They are that amazing to just be around. I think those that talk bad about them are simply those that have a lot of problems with all things dealing with God, the Bible and Jesus Christ in general and they simply feel they must destroy all good things and those promoting such good things, sadly. Lastly for the Christians out there I will also add these men of God are also Biblically dead on so there is no fear of false teaching here either. God bless and keep up the Lord's Work guys and gals. Thank you for the awesome blessing I was allowed to get during my time with you there.

As a street Minister I have used Living Waters for ALL my purchases of tracts, books and so forth. I can assure you not only are they secure but extremely professional. FAST deliveries and the highest professional services you can get. They will bend over backwards to help you. I have also had the ability to go to their offices, seen where they ship everything from and been on the famous "Ray Comfort Grand Tour". Absolutely TOP NOTCH company. So fear not with them, they will never do you wrong. I send EVERYONE to them!!!Pastor Ron Godwin

This organization has been life changing for our family. They are speaking truth and equipping the next generation. We have visited the headquarters a couple of times and have met Ray Comfort. He really has a heart for people. Living waters is an organization we are committed to supporting.
Review from Guidestar
Ray's organization does so much for promoting evangelism. I laugh when I see people talking about his $250,000 home in LOS ANGELES... trust me, he's not living large(based on the reports of some anti Ray blogs that publish his income). He is out in the streets taking abuse weekly for less money than I make. God Bless him and this organization. I use their materials and they are fantastic. They have very good customer service. I can think of no one who has done more for creating Christian "soldiers" to preach the gospel and save souls. I have no problem donating to this organization as well as using their products.
When this organization spends 62% of its 2011 income (as reported on their Form 990) on salaries and other compensation... well... I for one would have to question the true intention of the enterprise.
This is one of the most effective and efficient ministries I have ever seen. We use the resources they provide to share our faith with others with amazing results. I am so thankful to God for the training we have received and the videos and tracts Living Waters provides. If I were a major donor, I would most certainly have Living Waters at the top of my list because they do so much with so little, and their impact (particularly through their videos) is immeasurable. 180 the movie has had over 4 million views, with every viewer receiving the life-saving Gospel message. I believe that world view have changed as a result, as a survey of young people on the topic of abortion was taken in 2012 and there was a major shift from 2010. I believe this viral video had something to do with it.
I have seen Ray and his team out in the field. They work hard to stay true to the Word of God. I am very impressed with their dedication, effort and multitude of resources to help the rest of us do a better job at presenting the Gospel.
Review from Guidestar
Living Waters is a despicable organization that is bent on turning the US in to a christian theocracy. They are anti-science, anti-mental health, anti-gay, and anti-education.
Their CEO is willing to say and do anything, no matter how abhorrent, to promote his agenda of lies and ignorance.
Ray Comfort has faced accusations of plagiarism and dishonest editing in his videos. He has been caught editing videos to make it appear that people gave non-flattering answers to questions they were not actually asked.

This ministry is focused first and foremost on selling poorly conceived, produced and executed videos and books to a misinformed and undereducated audience. The target market is primed by a blitzkrieg of fatuous claims, misconstrued "facts" and misrepresentations of the opposing viewpoints (such as linking atheism with homosexuality, or equating abortion to the holocaust), and then swooping in and selling over-priced merchandise. For example, $20 for a 40-minute DVD which ends with an infomercial for more of the same is inappropriate.
Review from Guidestar
I visited Living Waters for a training event and found all the staff so helpful, personable, and willing to go out of their way to help me (like taking me to the airport when I had no ride, and making sure I had a place to go to church on Sunday and a way to get there). I am also impressed with the caliber of their service in offering their products at such an affordable rate. Every weekend there are 3 sale items and they are truly a deal!! You know you are not getting ripped off and know that Living Waters Publications believes in what they are selling because they want to make sure that anyone can afford to buy them. They are really great at getting your order sent to you in record time as well, which is greatly appreciated!!
Review from Guidestar
Since learning about Living Waters in 2006 at a Transformed Conference, my wife and I have been huge fans. Their passion, zeal and clarity in sharing the Gospel compelled us to get our Church involved and it has been a strong relationship ever since. Our Pastor had Ray Comfort come and speak at our church and we have been providing WOTM training for the past five years. In addition, we purchase thousands of dollars worth of tracts and books every year. It is the most effective way of sharing the Gospel that I have ever experienced and has encouraged our Pastor and Church to go to local schools and Universities to share the Good News in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.
Review from Guidestar
Living Waters presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a clear, simple, Biblical and effective way. I have seen and been involved in many ministries that desire to preach the Gospel, and go to great lengths and expense to reach people with God's message of salvation. But coercion and pressure do not make for true repentance. We have been made with intelligent minds and a conscience. I have and will continue to support Living Waters with my prayers as well as with my giving. I have personally met with many of the people involved with Living Waters and can say that they are not just sincere and dedicated. Because there are many who are so without being Biblical. But what is being accomplished through this ministry is changing many lives by accurately presenting the Gospel according to God's Word.
The way Living Waters presents the gospel was an important part of leading me to Christ. They do not use gimmicks or modern slang language, but they present the gospel the way the Bible does. Witnessing the way Jesus did can be easy and non-confrontational. Everyone should learn The Way of the Master.
Review from Guidestar
When I started as a witness for Christ, I felt inadequit to handle the job. So I studied and read about God's Word. It wasn't until I experienced Kirk Cameron's ministry did I feel confident enough to talk to people about the Gospel. I was introduced to tools I could use to ease into a conversation about God, Jesus, and the Gospel. It is a wonderful resource. I highly recommend it. The ministry teaches you how to simplify the message as well as have fun with it, without the people running away. All I know is it works. People listen and many go away with a desire to learn more.
Review from Guidestar
I have learned so much from this ministry. It has helped me to grow as Christian. Taught me how to share the Gospel with others. The materials offered print the TRUTH. So grateful to this God honoring ministry.
Review from Guidestar
This ministry is A+++++. I have been using their materials for over 5 years now and been very uplifted and encouraged by them. They are sound and Biblical. The impact this ministry has had is tremendous. There are those who would leave negative comments because they are God haters and slanderous towards this ministry and those comments are false and should be weeded out. Ray Comfort and his team are Godly men who seek to uplift the Word of God and share the precious life saving Gospel of Jesus Christ with those who need it. I HIGHLY recommend this ministry! www.180movie.com

I don't know any other ministry like Living Waters! I'm extremely grateful to the Lord for this ministry! Living Waters truly seeks to serve the Him. My family has benefited immensely by this ministry and I would encourage every single Christian who seeks to be obedient to the Lord in making Him known to the world, to get involved with Living Waters. Thank you!
Review from Guidestar
I have found the many, varied resources available at Living Waters a tremendous help to me. I have been associated with this organization for the last 3 years or so and have been impressed with them at every level. They have a strong committment to thinking and acting biblically, evangelism, the local church and encouraging Christians to use their gifts. I have gotten to know several of the staff and have found them to be the genuine article. We need more organizations like Living Waters! Jack
Review from Guidestar
Ray Comfort and the Living Waters team are committed to equip and encourage Christians to be effective Biblical witnesses to their faith. They are tireless in their efforts and very effective. My Christian walk has been forever changed thanks to Ray. In addition, they are very fiscally conservative--there is just no fluff at Living Waters headquarters. They make an effort to use all funds efficiently and do not take exorbitant salaries.
Review from Guidestar
By the provision and resources given us graciously by our Heavenly Father, it has been a true blessing to find a ministry like "Living Waters Publications", to donate to. Their commitment to the furthering of the gospel, combined with their stewardship, integrity and tireless efforts in reaching the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ, are the reasons for choosing this ministry above most others to partner with whenever the Lord allows. The relationship longevity of the staff, volunteers and partners connected with this ministry, are yet another example of it's trustworthy reputation. We count it a privilege to be a very small part of this outreach and pray that others will come along side in support of L.W. ongoing projects, so that an increase of the great harvest is realized before that beautiful trumpet sounds!!!!
Review from Guidestar
I am writing not only as a volunteer but also as a "client-served" by Living Waters Publications. The Vision of Living Waters has been to inspire and equip Christians in fulfilling the Great Commission. From my first introduction to Living Waters Publications in 2006, I have witnessed first-hand the staff's and volunteers' passion to glorify God, magnify His grace and exalt His son, Jesus Christ. I have been served by this ministry personally and our local church was been assisted by their biblical education to teach the principles of biblical evangelism, always exhorting faithful believers and gently correcting those who do not believe in Christ for eternal salvation. How has this been done? Through passionate teaching and preaching of God's Word and truth! I have learned biblical principles and doctrine from strategic conferences conferences, academic and practical training opportunities, networking platforms such as the Ambassadors' Academies and forums, and the production and dissemination of various printed and audio/visual media. Words cannot express my appreciation for what Living Waters Publications has done for my faith and with encouraging me to fulfill the Great Commission. I would recommend anyone to seek the assistance of Living Waters Publications.
Review from Guidestar
This ministry has changed my life completely. I am truly grateful to the staff of this ministry for their role in influencing my life. Their goal is to encourage and equip Christians in fulfilling the Great Commission, and that is exactly what they did for me. They took a Christian who had not once had the courage to step out in obedience and helped me learn to do things I had never imagined I could. In addition, through their personal training in evangelism, I met my future husband when we met at the Ambassadors' Academy. I cannot thank them enough for what they have meant in my life, but I know that they will receive their reward in heaven from God.
Review from Guidestar
I have had a number of opportunities to interact with this ministry over the course of several years and I can say with all honesty that I would trust this ministry with my life. These are truly men and women who love God and genuinely love others. They are giving and sacrificial in so many ways and not only share the gospel of Jesus Christ with a lost and dying world themselves but also equip others to do the same. This is a ministry with extreme honesty and integrity as it should be and I value them greatly!
Review from Guidestar
Living Waters passionately believes in their mission. Each person I have met in this organization is dedicated to the message they present. I am encouraged by their desire to be current in their products while at the same time remaining rooted in the Word of God. Being involved in a similar ministry I am challenged to keep up with their ever-increasing level of professionalism.
Review from Guidestar
I received terrific, life-changing training at The Way of the Master Alliance Academy (#14) with Living Waters, Tony Miano and the rest of the team. They also have the On The Box uStream videos available live which are a fantastic evangelism tool.
Review from Guidestar
The impact that Ray Comfort and Living Waters has made on hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives cannot be underestimated. Instead of "giving a man a fish", they "teach a man to fish". Each Evangelist that they have trained and encouraged to reach out to people, in public, and one-on-one with the Biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ, including myself, is indebted to them for their help. Many of the hundreds, or thousands of Evangelists that they have trained have then reached thousands, or tens of thousands of people in turn. The lives of so many unborn children that were scheduled for imminent death have been given life instead, due in large part to the truth shared in the 180movie.com. If you want to sow your donation into good ground, you have found it: Living Waters.
This organization has been tranformational to my life, and the lives of the people in my community. Their ministry has been the perfect partner to help equip, encourage, and educate our church members on effective ways to share the love of Christ.
Review from Guidestar
Living Waters staff was pivotal in the spread of an evangelistic zeal throughout the Bardstown area (in Kentucky, so far away). Their resources are one of a kind and are truly helpful as opposed to many of the more theoretical resources available elsewhere. The Ambassador's Academy training program they had was not only intellectual training, but further taught the soul how to be excited for the wonderful duty before us by having all the classmates go out together and evangelise together, encouraging one another.
Review from Guidestar
Living Waters helps fulfill the Great Commission. They equip Christians to tell others about how to get to heaven after they die. I have been blessed by the teaching of this ministry and I know that God has worked through Living Waters to save people from Hell.
Review from Guidestar
If you have a concern for the lost, this is a great ministry. Taught me and my husband how to biblically share our faith. They equip believers to share the wonderful news of the gospel by using the law of God to bring knowledge of sin and then the gospel and what how a person should respond in repentance and faith. I highly recommend investing in this ministry as you are investing truly in eternal purposes. They are very honest and hold to a high standard in their business and are so generous in equipping believers and share the gospel with unbelievers by being generous through free resources when you order through their website (a free book with purchase). Please help support this great ministry!
This is a great ministry that equips Christians to lovingly share their faith in a way that makes sense to those who are ignorant of Christianity.
Review from Guidestar
I caught "The Way of the Master" television program on TBN one night while channel-surfing - and froze in amazement, having never seen anything like it! Since that time, I've "followed" this organization for over 5 years now, have purchased a lot of Living Waters/Way of the Master materials, and have made two coast-to-coast trips to Bellflower, California just to validate the legitimacy of this organization and to observe these godly men in action. The Living Waters Team is made up of down-to-earth, godly individuals who "LIVE out" what they preach. Last October, I took my teen and pre-teen to visit Living Waters - and they, too, were blown away and impressed by the authenticity of their work. My teen had been exhibiting some serious behaviors that caused me great concern; but since that trip, she has turned her life around and remains very close to the Lord. The very night that my 8-year-old son heard Ray Comfort preach at the Huntington Beach pier, he insisted that we find a church so that he could be baptized. Living Waters has impacted my family in ways that no other organization ever could. In all seriousness....if I had a million dollars, I'd donate at least half of it to this organization!
I heard Ray Comfort speak, at Woodstock Baptist Church in 2009. The "Deeper" Conference...I had watched he and Kirk on, The Way of The Master occasionally on TBN. God, placed it on my heart, to want to share the gospel, just like Ray & Kirk. I went on line after the Conference, to check out Living Waters. I started getting their newsletter. I saw an application for the "Ambassadors Academy." I applied! I was accepted! First time in L.A! Four of the most wonderful days of my life! I met Ray, Kirk...they were just like me, had a passion for the lost. I was aloud on the bus, by, Tony Miano, my leaders were Chad William &Liz Ebert, thankful to meet Anita... Mark & E.Z...by the grace of God, these people, changed my life forever. I was so blessed to attend Academy 15 and 19. Living Waters, is such a place of great encouragement...truly like minded people! Since my two Academy visits..I've called Living Waters for prayer...they did not hesitate, to speak, pray and encourage me. Yes the economy has hurt us all, and if I could, I would give much. They did not turn down, a single woman, from S. Georgia a chance to learn to share the gospel. My Evidence Bible has taught me so much! I still use tracts from Living Waters, I read Ray's books, and Hell's Best Kept Secret/True & False Conversion changed my life. Thank you Ray Comfort, you & Living Waters are often in my prayers! I will pray for your finances, I know God will provide...with much love and prayer, Karen Blackburn, Garfield, Georgia.
Living Waters has been around for many years and has greatly influenced the majority of evangelists that I know. I have met its founder, Ray Comfort many times and I am always impressed with his humility and dedication to serving our Savior. Every other staff member has also been wonderful to meet and work with. God is using this ministry to reach the lost and teach the saved to do the same. In a world of charlatans who milk well-meaning people out of their (God's) money, I have no reservations whatsoever about supporting Living Waters.
Review from Guidestar
I first learned about Living Waters by reading Kirk Cameron's book "Still Growing". In it he talks about his involvement with Ray Comfort on their tv show "Way of the Master" and provided a website for the show. I checked out the website, looking for ideas to teach to junior high in Sunday school. I came across "The Good Person Test" where Ray Comfort takes you through the 10 commandments to show you what sin really looks like to God and how serious is it in His sight. I had attended church for 24 years and had never been confronted with the reality of my own sin. I thought I was a good person (I had done many good deeds and stayed out of trouble). Though I had believed in Jesus, I had never repented of (turned away from) my sin. It took 2 years for the Holy Spirit to work in me to bring me to repentance and genuine faith. Living Waters was instrumental to my journey to repentance. I had attended the "Transformed Conference" (a free conference put on by Living Waters) and began to read "School of Biblical Evangelism" (a book by Ray Comfort) and God began to soften my heart and open my eyes. I surrendered my life to Jesus in 2009 and since then I have learned more about the Bible than ever before. Living Waters provides creative, eye-catching gospel tracts, which have really helped me to share my faith. I have purchased and watched all of the episodes of Way of the Master and have learned so much about how to share the gospel with all types of people. I attended the "Deeper Conference" by Living Waters and received so much biblical teaching. My husband and I also were able to attend the "Ambassador's Academy", a 4-day intensive training on evangelism. We were so very grateful to be able to attend this Academy at half-price. It has dramatically changed our lives. Thank you to all the Living Waters staff and volunteers for always being available to answer questions and for your prayer support.
Review from Guidestar
Living Waters Ministry has had a profound impact on my life as well as the life of my family and my church. They provide solid Biblical training and resources to reach the lost for Jesus Christ. Their theology is solid and they provide for a need that is sorely lacking in the Christian community today. Having served alongside and spent time with a good protion of their staff I can say without hesitation that they exemplify what a Christian organization should be, placing the needs of others above their own and showing the love of Christ in all that they do.
Review from Guidestar
We came across Living Waters Publications over 6 years ago. Initially we got involved by watching their videos and then began ordering their material. Now we use their books, tracts and videos on a daily basis and have been teaching classes for the past 5 years using their training course. We've been personally challenged and strengthened by their ministry and highly recommend it. We've always received superior customer service.
Review from Guidestar
I've been using materials provided by Living Waters for well over a decade (since i was 16, in 1999)! I've met and talked with many of the staff and directors (including Ray, who game me a personal tour of their small facility back in December, 2000) over the years and have always been impressed by their passion for the lost that is lived out in reality (not just on paper or in sermons). I can honestly say I wouldn't be where I am today (missionary in China-Tibet) nor nearly as effective if it were not for the ways that God has used Ray Comfort and Living Waters in my Christian growth. I am eternally grateful and exceedingly pleased that God has expanded the influence of Living Waters so much over the past decade!
Living Waters has a heart for teaching others about the life changing power of the gospel if Jesus Christ and how to share that good news with those all around us.
Review from Guidestar
I am 77 years old. I was baptized at age 14. In and out of churches for the better part of my life. I always knew it was wrong to lie or steal; like most people we do it any way. My life truned around at age 40 (1975). Evangelism became a serious matter for me during those years. About 2005 the Lord led me to Living Waters ministy where I learned that my main issue from sinning is that I was sinning against God. Through their ministry I now use their gospel tracts as a way to share the life changing "GOSPEL" message. Their current promotion of www.180movie.com, which I whole heartly support, has changed lives and souls. From their tracts and this movie I have seem several people have their eyes and conscience open to information and issues that will change their life forever. I have found the Living Waters staff and their love for the gospel and their programs to be invalubale to help me and others share the gospel which is the power that leds to salvation of a soul which will live forever; somewhere. John Rickard; Florence, Or. Mark 4:14

Living Waters is an amazing organization. They offer many creative ways to help people learn to simply and effectively share their faith in Christ with others. They also have a lot of free resourses on their website that can be utilized. Their ministry has had a positive impact on the lives of thousands of people all around the world.

Living Waters is an excellent non-profit that actually performs the ministry it claims to. I have never felt as though I had wasted a donation to them as I knew it would be used for the furtherance of the Gospel. Their training is life changing and their love of the Gospel is awe inspiring. You will not go wrong by donating to this ministry.
Review from Guidestar
I visited Living Waters Publications after they were well established as a not-for-profit. It has been my life-long experience having served with and for nonprofit organisations that after an establishment period the administration of some organisation take certain liberties with payroll verses time spent in setting up the organisation. Having visited Living Waters and observing office decor and warehouse setup and even looking through the parking lot at vehicles that it appears that Living Waters is efficient and frugal manner modeling what a nonprofit should look like from the outside.
Review from Guidestar
For over a decade Living Waters has been instrumental in educating Christians in the area of evangelism. By utilizing modern media tools and techniques they have successfully engaged and instructed a whole new generation to defend and share their faith in Jesus Christ. I have found their resources to be easy to understand and use and their theology to be sound and scriptual. What a wonderful blessing they have been!
Review from Guidestar
The Way of the Master has been one of my greatest teachers on evangelism. I really enjoy their web site. It has great information, and many great resources. Living waters are a great ministry, and have reached many for the Lord Jesus Christ. They are worth helping and supporting as much as possible. My family and I enjoy watching On the Box, as well as their other episodes. My family and I are engaged in street ministry because of Living Waters. We owe a big debt of gratitude for all we have learned and are doing because of this ministry. Only eternity will tell of their rewards that await them. May God be praised for all they have done and will be doing untill the Lord Jesus comes in power and glory to claim all that belongs to him. Matt Yoder and family.
Review from Guidestar
Evangelism is something every Christian should do, but unfortunately many do not. As a Christian I struggled with sharing my faith for many years. After being trained in evangelism with Living Waters resources and materials, God turned my life around and I am no longer afraid to talk about Jesus Christ to unbelievers. I now actually lead evangelism teams at my church! It's amazing to me. I believe in what Living Waters Publications is doing, so strongly that I am currently working as a full time staff member with LWP. After working with Ray and the other leaders here, I can honestly say that they are genuinely committed to teaching the Christian world how to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Living Waters Publications is an excellent ministry promoting evangelism training and providing materials to use in evangelism. They have a very high standard of ethics and are very open and honest about the funds they receive and how they are used. I highly recommend Living Waters. I have been personally challenged and strengthen by their integrity and concern for the welfare of others.
They have help me with there awesome videos and tracts. Always ready to help people by giving many free stuff away. With out this ministry I don't know were I would be!! Besides Jesus Christ changing my life they would be second in changing my life the most! with there Great and loving ministry they provide not just to me but to churches and friends around me.

The people of this organization are filled with the love of Christ for lost people. They sacrifice much to further Christ's cause. Living Waters has probably helped me more than any other Christian organization. God bless them and their ministry!
Review from Guidestar
I have purchased many articles with this organisation. Many of the books and videos have provided much education to me and have been a huge inspiration and encouragement. My life has completely changed due in part to what I have learned from this organisation. The customer service is top notch and their CSRs are always friendly and helpful. Their products are fairly priced and every order I've received is a delight to open. Everything is very well packaged and I've never received any damaged goods. They also give me tips on how to save money on the shipping costs. Living Waters Publications is a top-notch company.
Review from Guidestar
Living Waters created the Way of the Master evangelism course that has changed the eternal destinations of likely millions of people. They created the Ambassadors' Academy to train interested Christians in the use of The Law (God's 10 Commandments) as the way to convict a person that we are all sinners deserving Hell. Once that was established it was a great pleasure to share the fact that God doesn't want anyone to perish, but all to come to repentance and trust in Jesus Christ. The Way of the Master is based in the manner that Jesus interacted with the Samaritan woman at the well. I was blessed to be one of 50 individuals across the nation who participated in the first Ambassadors Academy. It was a 3-day, real-time training in the Way of the Master. We had one day of intensive training by pastor/evangelist Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, TV star and a superb group of other evangelists. Day two was a street evangelism experience on Hollywood Blvd, interacting with complete strangers walking along the street. Day three we went to Huntington Beach to share the short Way of the Master message with those at the beach. After returning home to Wichita, Kansas I immediately started conducting street evangelism. I have trained over 50 people in the Way of the Master and have approached hundreds of people personally. My wife and I are enthusiastic donors to the Living Waters Ministry.
Review from Guidestar
I first became aware of Living Waters in 2003 and from the beginning, this ministry and the teaching of Ray Comfort have been of invaluable service to me and the work I do as a missionary. I attended their Ambassador's Academy in 2009 and as always was thoroughly impressed with the work being done at Living Waters.
I feel so blessed to have Living Waters as my place to train, to order my needs, and to get phone help as needed. Everything ordered is quick and accurate, resources are easily attainable, and honesty is what I count on most. The products are amazing and user friendly as well. Could not ask for a better group to work with!
Review from Guidestar
Living Waters is a bright light shining in this nation and throughout the world. Through books, tracts, videos, and live teaching seminars, they have been equipping Christians to biblically carry out the work of the Great Commission. Jesus told us to "go," and Living Waters is there to teach us how to do it in the most biblical and impactful way. I would never hesitate to recommend them to someone looking to support a ministry.
Review from Guidestar
My first experience with Living Waters is when we watched their tv show where Ray Comfort took a man through the law, and the man made a sincere desire to put his faith in Christ. That show changed my life. I understood salvation like never before. Next thing I know my husband and I took an airplane flight out to California from Pennsylvania for one of their Embassador Academies. It was the most challenging/crazy/life changing things I ever did. We went out and spoke to people, giving them the gospel, even open aired with knocking knees! We saw everyone at Living Waters was authentic and in no way greedy for money as Ray himself even rode his own bike to work each day just to save on expenses. They gave us a tour in their humble office building and gave us a show of them playing ping pong in the back room. We went back to our church at home, taught Way of the Master classes. Now we have a group that goes out weekly to our own fishing holes. Living Waters always price their sales items in their store as such a low cost I can't see how they can afford it! They obviously care more about the great commission by empowering those who desire to give the gospel with affordable materials then to make a profit. Just a great and inspiring organization. I strongly encourage people to donate because they surely are not counting on sales to make it.
Review from Guidestar
One of the things that I have always appreciated about Living Waters is that their main mission is to preach the gospel and that they are a equipping ministry. In order to do this they provide much free material and asked nothing in return. I've never felt like I've been pressured to donate but I joyfully give to this ministry. Also the resources that they produce and offer are extremely helpful in equipping my group and I to administer the gospel and fulfill the great commission. Their entire staff is and has always been extremely helpful and encouraging.
Review from Guidestar
I don't like wasting money so I am careful to check out the organizations that I give to. It was for this reason that I made a visit in person to this group. What I found was a wonderful group of people, working toward a united goal. They were extremely organized and highly motivated by love for people. I watched as they carefully took phone orders. Each person actually packs the orders that they took. Being in shipping/logistics for years, I found this to be a highly efficient practice. No one was too busy to answer a question. Ray Comfort made himself available despite a busy schedule (I'm sure!). Nothing was off limits. I like the material they put out. if the is ever a glitch, they correct it. they are professional, responsible and respectful. I'm happy to report a long and happy relationship.
Review from Guidestar
Living Waters and Ray Comfort were used by the Holy Spirit to racially change my life in 2008. A friend turned me on to a radio podcast called The Way of the Master Radio. I heard Ray and Todd Freil share the gospel with numerous people. I was rather upset with their style, but felt compelled to listen over and over. I was raised Southern Baptist and "asked Jesus into my heart" at age 8. And again at 13 and several other times. In June of 2008 God convicted me of my need of a Savior. Ray's voice quoting Revelation 21:8 about liars is burned in my brain. God revealed to me that I was the biggest liar of all. I was partying Saturday night and leading ministry groups at church Sunday morning. On June 1, 2008 at 10:37pm I curled up in a ball on the couch in my parents basement and wept uncontrollably. My wife wondered what was the matter. I explained to her how sick and tired I was about lying to everyone with my false lifestyle. It was many months until I realized (after hearing Ray's teaching on true and false conversions) that what happened that might was radically different. I was not being called to the pastoral ministry (as some had explained my experience), but rather I was being called to be a new creation in Christ. I got a new heart and new desires that night. My life has been forever changed because of the faithful saints at Living Waters. I have purchased tracts and training materials from Living Waters. I have lead groups of fellow Christians in The Way of the Master Basic Training Course. I am attempting to complete the School of Biblical Evangelism online course, but am currently locked out of my account. I have started the process of creating a non-profit ministry with my friend to help churches reach the lost in their communities. This summer we held 2 block parties where over 250 people heard the gospel. Last week, we gave away over 800 tracts and open air preached to about 200 people at a local fair. Next month we will hold a Truth or Terror event where we expect over 1000 people will hear the gospel. All this because of, and for, our Lord Jesus Christ. And all this because Living Waters was faithful to equip me to grow. My only criticism, I can't get in my online account and the password reset goes to an old disabled email address. I need a phone number to call for technical support. Many blessings. Praise God! Until they all hear, Brandon Stike, Co-Founder Set Apart Ministries, International. www.saminternational.org

Living Waters is a trustworthy ministry proclaiming the gospel of saving grace found only in the Lord Jesus Christ. For those who have posted one star, it should be noted that they are not followers of Jesus Christ and therefore do not understand the ministry and mission of Living Waters. God bless Ray Comfort and all who work at Living Waters for their tireless efforts to reach the lost with the gospel. The ministry outreach of the 180 movie (180movie.com) has saved lives of unborn babies and convicted sinners of their need for a Savior. I do not work FOR Living Waters, but I have worked WITH Living Waters on ministry outreach. They are good stewards of the financial support that donors provide.
Living Waters is a top-notch non-profit organization that is committed to teaching the principles of biblical evangelism and fulfilling the Great Commission by preaching the biblical gospel unashamedly. I have had the privilege of working alongside of many of the employees of Living Waters in the context of evangelism outreaches and they are ALL godly individuals who truly love those they serve.
Review from Guidestar
Living Waters is a reputable ministry with solid theology. Time and again, the organization proves its heart for the lost by reaching out to the unsaved and training the brethren to do so, too. It's this focus on bringing the world the Gospel to the glory of God-- not a focus on personalities within the ministry-- that makes Living Waters a refreshing ministry that my husband and I are happy to support. We have personally experienced the company of some of the staff on different occasions, and we are always blown away by their accessibility and humility. Selfless, compassionate, enthusiastic, and most importantly, Jesus-focused--- Living Waters is the real deal.

Living Waters Publications has provided many Biblical resources to Christians around the world. I have used their materials for several years and found them all to be 100% Biblical. Ray and his team have a tremendous open heart for the lost. As Jesus said, “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account." Mat 5:11
Review from Guidestar
Ray is a liar and clearly not in this for Jesus, but to make money. His lies are well documented and he is a bigot for sure.
I have found this organization to be one of the most sincere and honest nonprofits that I've encountered. They work extremely hard to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an understanding and non-threatening way. Their materials are very educational and help you move to a deeper level of understanding and boldness to share the Gospel.
Ray Comfort's "million dollar bill" tracts are an excellent witnessing tool as I've seen in action as both a giver and receiver. We've been fortunate to have partnered with Ray's dedication and support in a very important publication project as well. Witnessing for Christ Jesus is always a challenge. Ray and his personal team sincerely want every human to know who the Lord truly is and to have a heart of and for God. I highly recommend Ray's materials and ministry to any and all prospective volunteers, donors and other supporters.

I have used Ray Comfort's methods to talk to others about the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. His method taught me to not be an "in your face" type of evangelist but gently guide in a manner that one would come to their own conclusion their need for a Savior. I highly recommend his books. I volunteered at our local county fair recently and manned the "God Mobile" booth. We used his techniques. The time I spent in the booth two people accepted the Lord as their Savior!

I have had the opportunity, as a volunteer for a Non-Profit ministry to USA and Allied Military Personnel at home and abroad, to experience first hand the love and selfless commitment that Ray Comfort has for the ministry. Upon contacting his organization, and asking if Ray would be willing to author a portion to include in a Bible we were producing for our military, Ray personally contacted me and enthusiastically set out to write this piece for inclusion in this work. Our group is a small and all volunteer organization and all donations and contributions are passed directly on to the intended military personnel and Ray not only contributed, he never asked for anything in return for this wonderful work.

Living Waters Publication is not, and I repeat, is not a organization that you should in any way, shape or form contribute, invest or even associate with. They say it's to teach Evangelical Christians how to share their faith. In reality, The whole purpose of this organization, is to line the pockets of it's founder, Ray Comfort, while masquerading as a non-profit. The materials provided at cost to members, consists of high-pressure sales tactics and propaganda techniques meant to spread misinformation about science (by the not-so-savvy use of the pseudo-science of “creationism”), lie continuously about other groups that do not share their interpretation of the bible and indulging in “soft-core” bigotry towards homosexuals, Atheism, Catholics and Muslims. Their show “The Way Of The Master” is merely a biased half-hour of garbage, serving only to ridicule unsuspecting victims of their sales tactics and painting any critics of their methods and organization as “angry, hateful people”. Their deceptive tactics and their attempts at censoring their opposition have been heavily documented, a simple search on the internet will reveal this.
