Revelation 1:10
On the Lords' Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet . . . and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.
ManyWaters presents a “safe” environment for creativity, diversity, and intuitive leadership. We prepare diverse groups of people to receive and respond to the Spirit’s voice, taking hold of and celebrating who they were created to be and why God has drawn them together. As a result, the community becomes a vibrant and healthy place ~ a place where living water always flows.
About ManyWaters Ministry
Who we are: A Creative Network
ManyWaters (MW) Ministries, led by Carol Maher, is a relational network of believers who are intentional about bridging the gaps between people through intuitive leadership. We promote creative and artistically sensitive methods of building relationships and serving the needs of our communities.
The ManyWaters leadership team, led by our founder, Carol Maher is accountable to an outside Board of Advisors, ~ made up by respected ministers, professional artists, and leaders in their communities. We consider ourselves servants and partners, and do not receive a regular salary from ManyWaters. We trust in God’s calling and promises to be fulfilled through the provisions that come from faithful family members, partnering groups and churches, and ongoing individual donations.
Our Vision
There are three main values that fuel our vision. All that we do flows from them.
1. The apostolic ministry that carries the anointing of Christ for the reconciliation and restoration for all peoples. We believe that understanding the importance of honoring our heritage, arts, and culture can create an atmosphere of hospitality where bridges can be built between peoples. We also believe the present church should be marked by extraordinary empowerment of the Holy Spirit. We believe this includes strong healthy relationships, ministry to the poor, signs and wonders, and apostolic and prophetic leadership.
2. Unity of the Body of Christ. We believe that functional unity in the Body of Christ is not an option, but a requirement for all believers. From Revelations 1:10, there is a clear scriptural mandate for believers to walk in the unity that comes from following Jesus Christ "through a community gathered together as one voice." We believe that the Body of Christ is made up of many streams, each bringing their own strength to the whole. We also believe that every stream, (including our own) no matter how healthy, has inherent weaknesses allowed by the Lord to make it dependent on the rest of the Body.
3. Creating a "Safe" space for expression of Joy in the Lord.
We believe that we are called to make a way (create environments, space, and platforms) for this living water of God's Holy Spirit to flow in the lives of individuals and communities. We do this through small group venues, weekend retreats, prophetic conferences, personal ministry, tours and arts venues, and missionary journeys. We also look for opportunities to serve and bring beauty in our communities by using our gifts and talents in positive and holistic ways. Rev. 14:2; Psalm 46: 4 - 6
Out of our three core values, a variety of ministry outreaches have sprung forth including:
In 1997, Carol founded a multi-dimensional ministry called “ManyWaters”. The purpose of ManyWaters is to create environments for community transformation. The ministry looks for opportunities to gather people together. We offer conferences, discussion groups, educational journeys, informal worship settings, and arts venues that are attended across diverse ethnicities and church backgrounds. Often these relationships network and develop partnerships that bring beneficial influences in their communities. Carol encourages creative, out of the box thinking to collaborate with city agencies, schools, and businesses believing that believers are to serve the community.
