A Brief History of Living Water:
In
1979, Yale University's premiere senior male a cappella group,
the Whiffenpoofs, went of a world tour. When they left, there
were two amongst them who had experienced the joy of a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ. By the power of the Holy Spirit
working through their prayers and testimonies, three other Whiffs
became followers of Christ during the tour. Upon returning to
Yale, these believers desired to use a cappella music to tell
others of the joy and love they had found in Christ. What began
as a "wouldn't it be wild..." idea became reality as
they got together with other believers to form Living Water in
the fall of 1979.
Living Water sang our first songs in the Fall Jamboree
in Berkeley Residential College. The Holy Spirit moved mightily
throughout Yale that year, and many came to know Christ as the
only One who can provide true living water, which is joy and life
that comes from having a relationship with Him. Since then, Living
Water has ministered to Yale campus and wherever our travels take
us. We sing for whoever will listen: in schools, prisons, homeless
shelters, nursing homes, churches, and on street corners. We pray
that this ministry will continue to grow in Christ and bring more
people to know the love and salvation that is in Jesus Christ.
