“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Street Evangelism (Program Expenditures - $94,876.86)This weekly program focuses on preaching the biblical principle of man's need for repentance and salvation at outdoor venues such as parks, beaches, higher educational facilities, and anywhere the general public might be found in large numbers. In addition to speaking, the printed resources of the organization are passed out and discussed one on one between ministry volunteers and members of the general public. The program also supplies resources, free of charge, to employees as on ongoing encouragement to be engaged in the practice of street and personal evangelism in their everyday surroundings. The program is highly effective in that biblical teaching is going out to the public on a regular basis, and in that it provides a consistent real-world opportunity for the training of Christians to effectively. In 2014, we continued building our State Representative program, through which volunteers in various states are able to attend local conferences, book fairs, and other civic functions, and give away copies of select evangelistic materials supplied by Living Waters at no charge. This program provides a better means for meeting the need for localized evangelism training by those in the specific geographic area. Additionally, we donated materials to several event workers and organizations for free distribution. In total, 182,691 pieces of tracts, books, audio and video CD's and DVD's, and training materials were given out through this program in 2014. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Web / Radio Outreach (Program Expenditures - $289,514.20)Production of The Way of the Master Radio Program was discontinued at the end of 2008. But in the latter part of 2010, Living Waters began webcasting the archived Way of the Master Radio shows on OnePlace.com, as well as on our own webpage. Additionally, we began similar webcasts of our instructional videos called Living Waters University - short 5 minute witnessing tip videos - on OnePlace.com, LightSource.com, and our own webpage. Monthly podcasts continue to trend anywhere between 40,000 and 50,000 downloads and mp3s. In 2014, Living Waters continued its sustained production of our new daily live web program, called The Comfort Zone with Ray Comfort. This program features a live, interactive talk-show format with live chat room, centering on the teaching of biblical evangelistic techniques and tips. Current news events are also discussed. The Comfort Zone is approximately 30 minutes in duration, and streams live over the internet, with archived shows available for later viewing on YouTube, OnePlace, and LightSource.com. In 2014, we continued to see the popularity of the program grow in our archived YouTube viewing (between 4 thousand and 10 thousand per program). We continue to look for more internet media outlets through which to help Christians learn to share their faith, and continue looking to take the program to television. The program took a hiatus at the close of 2014, so that we could focus our efforts on our new film project Audacity. The Comfort Zone should resume programming toward the end of 2015. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Conferences/Speaking Engagements (Program Expenditures - $40,478.17)Due to the current economic climate, Living Waters has suspended the majority of our conference outreaches. We will continue to evaluate the economic climate in the coming years; as well as the overall effectiveness of the conference training model.In lieu of this, we have been concentrating on sending Living Waters Staff Speakers out to events both domestic and international as per invitations received. Our raft of available speakers continues to grow in popularity, and speaking engagements continue to be scheduled year-round. In 2014, our speakers engaged in over 35 events nationwide and in the UK.

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Heart Changer Projects (Program Expenditures - $597,302.74)In 2011, Living Waters produced a "world changing" pro-life documentary called "180 - Changing the Heart of a Nation." This important 33-minute film has been made available for free viewing at 180movie.com, and at the end of 2014, the film had received approximately 4.7 million online views. To date, over 230,000 copies of the DVD have been given out for free by staff and volunteers at high schools and universities domestically and internationally, and in total, 1,091,778 "180" DVDs have been either given away or sold. The film continues to be broadcast internationally on several cable and satellite outlets like the Daystar and Enlace Networks. In 2014, Living Waters continues to market this vital pro-life message that compares abortion in America to the Jewish Holocaust until every household in America has seen this documentary. The film is offered for free viewing on YouTube. In 2012, Living Waters release a new documentary called "Genius," which used discussion of the lives and statements of The Beatles as a backdrop for exploration of people's attitudes toward commission of crimes all as commentary for the condition of man and his sinful nature, and the dire consequences of dying without Christ's payment for your sin. As of December 2014, 121,109 copies of the DVD had been sold or given away. This film is also available for free viewing on YouTube and has received 597 thousand views to date. And in 2013, Living Waters released its third documentary in the Heart Changer series, entitled Evolution vs God. This riveting documentary simply asked questions of noted evolutionary scientists, biologist, and other scientists about their belief in Darwinian evolution, and asks them to give one piece of observable proof. At the end of 2014, approximately 480,000 DVDs have been distributed for free or sold, and the film has received approximately 2.1 million views to date on our YouTube channel. In 2014, our new film Noah And the Last Days was released. This film examines the current sinful state of our society, and compares that to what the Bible reveals about the last days. Over 87,000 DVDs were sold or given away, with 1.8 million views on YouTube. In June of 2014, we began work on our 5th short film to be entitled Audacity. This film will explore the hot-button issue of homosexuality in our society, and show Christians how to share their faith and the truth of scripture in profound love. This will be our first scripted drama, and will entail much more use of outside production work for primary filming. Most filming was completed in 2014, leaving pick up filming and editing for 2015. Expected release date is June /July 2015. |

But in the latter part of 2010, Living Waters began webcasting the archived Way of the Master Radio shows on OnePlace.com, as well as on our own webpage. Additionally, we began similar webcasts of our instructional videos called Living Waters University - short 5 minute witnessing tip videos - on OnePlace.com, LightSource.com, and our own webpage. Monthly podcasts continue to trend anywhere between 40,000 and 50,000 downloads and mp3s. In 2014, Living Waters continued its sustained production of our new daily live web program, called The Comfort Zone with Ray Comfort. This program features a live, interactive talk-show format with live chat room, centering on the teaching of biblical evangelistic techniques and tips. Current news events are also discussed. The Comfort Zone is approximately 30 minutes in duration, and streams live over the internet, with archived shows available for later viewing on YouTube, OnePlace, and LightSource.com. In 2014, we continued to see the popularity of the program grow in our archived YouTube viewing (between 4 thousand and 10 thousand per program). We continue to look for more internet media outlets through which to help Christians learn to share their faith, and continue looking to take the program to television. The program took a hiatus at the close of 2014, so that we could focus our efforts on our new film project Audacity. The Comfort Zone should resume programming toward the end of 2015. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | Spanish Language Outreach (Program Expenditures - $195,650.55)This program serves as a means for supporters of the organization to partner with us to have certain evangelistic teaching and resource materials translated in different languages. While we are actively translating some of our simple messages and resources to accessible digital resources, our primary focus remains on translating a wide variety of resources to the Spanish language, as is befitting our current area demographic and the explosion of growth in the Christian body in Latin America. We continue to build our Spanish web and television broadcast presence through continued engagement with various broadcast companies. In 2014, Living Waters continued to work with international broadcasters and supplied them with our current line of Spanish language resources. Stations have been added domestically and in Southern and Central America. We continue to team up with organizations which are able to print and supply our resources locally to people in Latin America, so the cost is feasible for the people in those locales. In 2014, the Spanish dubbed version of Season 3 of our Way of the Master television program was released, as well as Evolution vs God, and two different gospel tracts. The dubbed versions of two more of our films are pending for 2015. |
