“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Web / Radio Outreach (Program Expenditures - $90,858.29)Monthly podcasts of our archived Way of the Master Radio program continue to trend anywhere between 40,000 and 50,000 downloads and MP3s.Our current program, The Comfort Zone with Ray Comfort, continued its live web broadcast hiatus in 2015, due to the work being done on our new film, "Audacity". However, archived shows of the 30-minute talk-show are still being broadcast on various web outlets, including our YouTube channel. These evangelism topic oriented programs have garnered thousands of views each. In 2015, we continued to explore retooling and alternate formats to make the program available for television broadcast. Additionally, we began a search for a designnated producer for the show. However, due to changes in the format and scope of the program, we did not find a suitable candidate. We have begun the process of creating a new studio space to accomodate many of the needs of broascasting, and hope to launch the new program in 2016. Until then, much work needs to be done in preparation of this new format, and the coordination for the new studio space. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Conferences/Speaking Engagements (Program Expenditures - $36,176.98)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 2015, our speakers engaged in over 34 events nationwide (32) and in Latin America (2). OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: School of Biblical Evangelism (SOBE) (Program Expenditures - $22,378.55)The School of Biblical Evangelism (SoBE) is an online Bible College, dedicated to training men and women to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The college was established in 2001 by Living Waters Publications. Through 101 online lessons, including audios, articles, and videos, students are challenged to have a biblical worldview. Each lesson is designed to equip the students to defend the historic Christian faith. The course takes approximately six months to complete. As of 2015, 850 students have been added to the enrolled/completed rolls of the program for the year. The total number of students since inception is approximately 18,225 enrolled/completed. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Int'l Missions Project (Program Expenditures - $31,200.95)This program serves various volunteer representatives in Europe, Asia, Australia and South Africa. These volunteers run private book stores and web stores through which they provide evangelistic resources to the public in their own country. We provide assistance to these individuals to help them effectively teach the principles of biblical evangelism, and make instructional resources available to them in order to aid them in making their evangelistic mission successful.In this program, we also offer technical as well as limited financial support and evangelistic resource materials.In 2015, we continued to help our UK, Asia, South African and Australian agents build their presence, and provide new resources. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Benevolence Other Donations and Grants (Program Expenditures - $0.00)This simple program seeks to meet urgent, critical needs of individuals and families made known to the organization. Assistance can be in the form of limited financial help, such as the paying of a utility bill, or providing connections to other organizations that might be able to offer assistance by means beyond the scope of our organization. Each request for assistance is evaluated by the management of the organization to determine whether or not the reques”

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, 1,133,580 "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 2015, 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. Living Waters is planning a website re-launch in 2016In 2012, Living Waters released 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 2015, 132,424 copies of the DVD had been sold or given away. This film is also available for free viewing on YouTube and has received 660,000 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 2015, approximately 525,000 DVDs have been distributed for free or sold, and the film has received approximately 2.5 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 105,000 DVDs were sold or given away, with 2.1 million views on YouTube.In August of 2015, our 5th short film entitled Audacity was released. This film explores the hot-button issue of homosexuality in our society, and shows Christians how to share their faith and the truth of scripture in profound love. This was our first scripted drama, and entailed much more use of outside production work for primary filming. Most filming was completed in 2014, leaving pick up filming, editing and marketing for 2015. At the close of 2015, nearly 75,000 DVDs had been given away or sold, and the free viewing on YouTube had reached approximately 525,000 views. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | Spanish Language Outreach (Program Expenditures - $238,083.03)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 2015, 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. We added 5 new coountries including Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia and Guatemala.In 2015, the Spanish dubbed version of our new film "audacity" was completed and released. Additionally, we completed 2 more Ambassador's Evangelism Training Acadamies in Hidalgo Mexico and Bogota Colombia, offered a total of four Way of the Master Conferences in Los Angeles, CA, San Diego, CA, Tijuana, Mexico and Guatemala City, produced two new tracts in Spanish, and translated and produced in Spanish the Way of the Master book for kids.

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | Street Evangelism (Program Expenditures - $150,163.36)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 effectively. In 2015, we continued to support our local and state volunteers who 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, 530,435 pieces of tracts, books, audio and video CD's and DVD's, and training materials were given out through this program in 2015. |
