Living River is the result of a lifetime of God’s leading in both men’s lives. While there have been detours along the way for each man, God’s call has been clearly heard by each since childhood. They had been attending church together and been great friends for several years when God began to give them a shared vision for Living River in the Fall of 2013. David’s burden for young people who have no father, and to see godly men once again take their intended place in our communities together with the burden Tim has had since he came to Christ for orphans were brought together in an idea that began to grow into what Living River has become.

They are committed to going wherever God calls them to go and will walk through any door that He opens in order to obey His call to deliver God’s Fatherhood to a fatherless generation and to provide the opportunity and the means for many to join them.

Isaiah 58:11,12 The Lord will always lead you… you will be like a watered garden and like a spring whose waters never run dry. Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore the foundations laid long ago; you will be called the repairer of broken walls, the restorer of streets where people live. (HCSB)
