Missional Impact Partnerships are collaborations between the people of Living Water and organizations around the world that advance the Kingdom of God within their unique context. Globally, we partner with people, churches, or organizations that are indigenous and have a sustainable mission. Our highest priority is seeing people encounter Jesus and the Kingdom of God advancing in word and deed. Here in Thurston County, we partner with organizations that meet the holistic needs of people in the name of Jesus.
Living Water embraces Missional Partnerships because they support ministries that are contextualized to reach people in intentional ways. Rather than creating organizations to meet needs, we form partnerships with those who are already engaged in “being the hands of Jesus”. Through partnership, we can take advantage of the wisdom and knowledge of people who live close to the people they minister to.
When we partner with others, more people are impacted around the world, and in our neighborhoods, in the name of Jesus. Refugees in Europe find new homes and opportunities, young moms find support, children receive medical care and people come to know Jesus because of Missional Impact Partners like you!
Working together we have a bigger impact. Become a Partner Today!

GLOBAL IMPACT
WIMBERLYS
Romania
Pastors Tim and Dhana Wimberly, who served faithfully at Living Water for 20 years, have partnered with Foursquare Missions International (FMI) to fulfill their calling to bring life, love, and care to the nations. Currently based in Romania, they are involved in various activities, including training volunteer leaders, organizing camp experiences for children, and building homes for orphans with Homes of Hope International. Additionally, they provide ongoing education, self-care, and personal coaching for FMI workers. For more information, visit their website at www.tothenations.life.
CARVERS
North Korea
The Carvers, sent out by Living Water to partner with Foursquare Missions International (FMI), have a history of community development work and church planter training in Vietnam. After joining Living Water in 2005, they served on the worship team and Missions Council. In 2010, they began work in Shenyang, China, learning Mandarin and training church planters. They have also made several trips to Pyongyang, North Korea under the invitation of the Ministry of Health to train doctors in the management of children with disabilities. In April 2022, they resided in Taebaek, South Korea, where they studied Korean and mobilized workers for North Korea. Though they have recently relocated, they continue to minister effectively around the world.
FOURSQUARE CHILDREN OF PROMISE INTERNATIONAL
Cambodia Orphans
FCOP International is committed to help establish healthy local churches in communities throughout Cambodia. These churches help bring spiritual revival, social redemption and economic restoration. FCOP cares for widows, orphans and separated children, creates sustainable micro enterprise programs and promotes healthy family values all over Cambodia. They also aim to prevent human trafficking, slavery and the breaking up of families. Information on all of their projects and initiatives can be found at fcopi.org.
HEALTHBRIDGE GLOBAL
Worldwide
In 2011, Jon and Becca Hallstead founded Healthbridge Global to work at the intersection of healthcare needs and gospel gaps around the globe, connecting the beauty of healthcare to the hope of the Gospel.
Healthcare is often viewed as a system, but it’s more personal than that. Healthcare is one human being caring for another. When delivered in the character of Christ, it becomes an effective bridge to bring the Gospel into closed nations, closed cultures, and closed hearts.
Bringing health and wholeness to people’s physical bodies was central to Christ’s ministry. In the four Gospels, 34 distinct miracles are recorded, and 26 of these are what we call “healthcare miracles,” where Jesus relieved pain, suffering, disease, and even death.
We follow Christ’s example by partnering with Him to extend grace, compassion, and dignity in meeting the healthcare needs of people around the world. This is why our vision is to establish 20 gospelcentered healthcare clinics in 10 countries in the next 10 years. We currently have 5 projects in 3 nations, and are preparing to embark on 5 more later this year:
• Egypt - HARPUR HOSPITAL
PEDIATRIC IN- AND OUT-PATIENT EXPANSION PROJECT
• Romania - PROVITA
PRO-LIFE WOMEN’S HEALTH CENTER AND CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTER
• Romania - LIFE MEDICAL CENTER
ROMANIA’S FIRST PRO-LIFE MATERNITY HOSPITAL
• Romania - RISE TOGETHER

FOURSQUARE DISASTER RELIEF
Foursquare Disaster Relief is a nonprofit organization dedicated to delivering essential supplies and compassionate volunteers to partner churches in disaster-affected communities around the world. In an increasingly chaotic world, it serves as an agent of peace, hope, and restoration. Guided by Scripture’s call to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and care for “the least of these,” Foursquare Disaster Relief brings the whole gospel to the whole world by meeting both physical and spiritual needs. Behind every headline and statistic are real people facing real loss. Each time we send supplies or deploy volunteer teams, our mission is first and foremost to be a light in someone’s darkest moment— offering compassion, dignity, and hope when it is needed most.
Foursquare Disaster Relief fulfills this mission through three core areas of focus:
• MEETING IMMEDIATE NEEDS: When disaster strikes, FDR quickly mobilizes trained volunteers to organize supplies and establish aid distribution centers, ensuring critical resources reach survivors without delay.
• PROVIDING SPIRITUAL CARE: FDR equips local pastors and ministry leaders with crisis-response training, empowering them to share the peace, comfort, and hope of Christ even in the midst of devastation.
• ESTABLISHING LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS: In prolonged humanitarian crises, FDR remains committed to walking alongside affected communities, providing ongoing support and sustainable relief services that help survivors rebuild their lives.

Mexico City
Since 1992 we’ve partnered with pastors and leaders in Mexico City to encourage local churches. Following a trip repairing a home for assisted living in Valle de Trinidad, the vision for the Mexico Pastors Family Camp started to form. Over the decades, through relationships with Pastors Juan and Chela Muzquiz, this partnership has sent countless teams to serve the pastors of Mexico. The Pastors Family Camp offers pastors and their families much-needed rest, spiritual rejuvenation, and encouragement through activities and dedicated study of the Word. From this retreat, sprung a vision and desire to plant a church in Mexico City; the pastors in Mexico began to take ownership of the vision for their people. Pastor Daniel and Rosy Torres responded to this vision, and a dream in their hearts. They planted and continue to nurture a church in Mexico City with plans for additional churches in the region.

Rise Together
Rise Together, based in Targu Mures, Romania, is dedicated to empowering vulnerable children to become strong followers of Christ, heal from trauma, and positively impact society as adults.
Rise Together formerly operated in unreliable environments such as state institutions and volunteer homes. In 2024 we came alongside them to build a facility that will allow them to increase the number of children cared for, share the gospel freely, offer transitional living support for young adults, create a healing environment, enhance training for staff and volunteers, expand their team, and establish a replicable model for other cities.
Currently caring for 35 children weekly, Rise Together focuses on those in state institutions and those transitioning to independent life. They conduct therapeutic summer camps, offer year-round training for staff and volunteers, and collaborate with various organizations for advocacy and support. With a Christ-centered approach, the organization plays a crucial role in bridging the gap for aged-out orphans, providing healing, and guiding them towards independent and fulfilling lives.
