In the spring of 1996, God gave a vision to Evangelist Samuel R. Johnson, Sr., to assemble God’s children for praise and worship.

January 19, 1997, the first meeting to assemble LivingWaterFullGospelBaptistChurch came to order at four o’clock in the afternoon at the home of our founder.  Pastor Johnson and his wife Sister Wanda L. Johnson spent the remainder of the year preparing and planning to bring forth God’s vision for His people.

November 23, 1997, Living Water opened its doors at BlairwoodElementary School, 1241 Blairwood Avenue, JeffersonTownship, DaytonOhio.

July 12, 1998, Living Water moved services to the YMCA, located at 4415 Dayton-Liberty Road, JeffersonTownship, Dayton, Ohio.

December 31, 1998, Living Water moved to the firestation at 1422 N. Main Street, Dayton, Ohio.

September 10, 2005, Living Water World Ministries broke ground on the new edifice located on 81 acres of land at 4882 Germantown Pike, Dayton, Ohio.

April 29, 2006, Living Water World Ministries holds the Glorious Opening Celebration dedicating the new edifice on Germantown Pike.

Supernaturally led by the Holy Spirit, Bishop Samuel R. Johnson, Sr., and Elder Wanda L. Johnson have been able to see beyond, numbers, nationalities and finances and kept the faith that God would abundantly bless this ministry.

Bishop Johnson has always said, “The mission of Living Water is to ‘Serve and Save’ the lost souls of our Lord and Savior.”

…..and the dream goes on, we have been empowered to go on in the “Spirit of Excellence” to continue building the Kingdom of God.
