Form 990, Part III, Line 4D: Other Program Services Description

“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Web / Radio Outreach (Program Expenditures - $35,386.89)Monthly podcasts of our archived Way of the Master Radio program continue to trend anywhere between 20,000 and 30,000 downloads and mp3s. Our current program, The Comfort Zone with Ray Comfort, continued its live web broadcast hiatus in 2017. 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 2017, we continued to explore retooling and alternate formats to make the program available for television broadcast. Our new studio was on the verge of completion at the end of 2017, and we plan to shoot our pilot episodes in early 2018. It still must be decided if the new show will reside exclusively on television, or if past episodes will be carried via the web. It is tentatively planned that all web content will continue to be managed by this OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Conferences/Speaking Engagements (Program Expenditures - $110,439.36)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 2017, our speakers engaged in over 49 events nationwide (46) and internationally (3). OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: School of Biblical Evangelism (SOBE) (Program Expenditures - $126,552.67)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 2017, 481 students have been added to the enrolled/completed rolls of the program for the year. The total number of students since inception is approximately 19,197 enrolled/completed.In 2017, measurable advancement was made in the complete re-design of the online school, with the goal being to update the user interface, and modernize the content and mode of delivery to make the educational process even more fulfilling and ongoing. We are hoping for a late 2018 launch of the new program. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Int'l Missions Project (Program Expenditures - $83,036.47)This program serves various volunteer representatives in Europe, Asia, and Australia and So. 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 2017, we continued to help our UK, Asia, So. Africa, and Australia agents build up their local presence, and provide new resources. Additionally, we provided both monetary support, and physical support in the form of event speakers travelling to their respective locales. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Benevolence (Program Expenditures - $505.00)This simple program seeks to meet urgent, critical needs of individuals and families made know to the organization. Assistance can be in the form of limited financial help, such as the paying of a u”

IRS990/Desc0The Way of the Master Television Series (Program Expenditures - $398,782.39)The Way of the Master Television Series is a contemporary, cutting edge program hosted by Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. Each 30-minute episode deals with topics ranging from biblical instruction regarding evangelism to highlighting the differences between the Christian worldview and that of other religions. This engaging format is used as a platform to instruct Christian on how to share and defend their faith by including interviews of well-known biblical teachers and scholars, as well as actual "on-the-street" interviews and encounters with the general public. Each broadcast season consists of 13 half-hour episodes. To date, four seasons have been produced and are regularly broadcast on global station networks such as the Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN). Work on Season 5 is progressing in tandem with the changes being made to our daily/weekly show. The current plan is to develop a broadcast worthy version of the new weekly show being planned, and this new format will be our resulting Season 5. The capture of usable interview and event footage progressed throughout the year, and will continue as the pilot episodes are shot in early 2018 in our new studio space. Filming and editing for broadcast will continue through 2018, as broadcast markets are secured from existing and new partners. At the close of 2017, the prior season episodes of the series continued to be broadcast on approximately 20 stations and channels in over 70 countries. Estimated viewership claimed by the different networks is in the millions. DVD versions of the series have been produced, and to-date over 431,067 copies have either been given out or sold as an instructional resource.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Spanish Language Outreach (Program Expenditures - $205,833.01)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 into accessible digital resources, our primary focus remains on translating a wide variety of resources into 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.During 2017, 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 internationally in Latin America, and Spain. 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. This outreach is currently active in the U.S., Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, Guatemala, Peru, Nicaragua, Honduras, Argentina, and Spain. Also, during 2017 we completed our 6th Ambassadors Academy in Chile and our 7th which was held in Los Angeles, California. We also offered a total of ten Living Waters evangelism conferences in the countries of Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, and the United States. We gave away over 300 Spanish language versions of our Wonderful Plan book, and over 500 Spanish scroll pens in such countries as Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile. We also produced the Spanish version of The Atheist Delusion, and produced the Spanish version of the Lie Detector. We successfully migrated to our new website Living Waters Espaol and continued to update our Spanish YouTube channel which now has 11,311 subscribers and 986,327 views.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Ambassadors' Academy (Program Expenditures - $145,470.47)This program was originally commissioned at the end of 2007. Its purpose is to bring would-be evangelists to our main offices for 3 days of intense classroom and practical training on how to share your faith, and how to start an evangelism outreach at the participants' local church. The goal is to serve the church and individuals within the church in the area of maintaining an on-going, effective evangelism outreach. Area of interest is global. Since inception, over 1100 people have received training.In 2017, our English-speaking Academy in Bellflower was relaunched. We held two Academies, and hosted 169 attendees for two days of evangelism training. We hope to hold one Academy in July of 2018.We also continued to provide our smaller Spanish language Academies in 2017. Our 6th Spanish Academy was held in Chile, and our 7th in Los Angeles approximately 75 individuals received training. These academies are led by our Director of Spanish Language Outreach, and possibly one or two featured staff speakers.
