Walkin on Water


Pastor Perry Burgess of Walk on Water World Outreach Church

Walk on Water ministries has been a faith operation from the start. I remember when the ministry was birthed and a great commissioning service at the Lighthouse in Monroe with Sam Chand and others. I was blessed to be able to lead worship on Thursday nights when the church was on Clarks Bridge road in Gainesville and the freedom we experienced there. As a matter of fact, the first original songs started right there and the beginnings of what we call "Healing Flow", the place in worship where God moves, the original praise in which our Lord inhabits, and where the lines which define worship and intercession blur.

We were there the night the Athens Mission Church began, leading worship downtown in a little church hall that filled up so quickly, and people who were hungry not only for the free food, but also for the encouragement and direction that our Pastor brings on a regular basis. We continued to come on Sunday nights with our friends and our team to join the Pastor in his groundbreaking ministry to the street people of Athens. When the call came to come to the new building for the next phase we jumped at the opportunity and continued for a year and a half. To see the Pastor's generosity and his heart for the homeless and the street people of Athens inspires you to want to do more.

So the fine people of Athens, especially the landlords in our shopping center decide that they don't like the church housing from 50-75 people an night and feeding as many as 150. The homeless church of Athens ironically homeless. What to do? Where do we go?

We are in Commerce, making the best of it at 217 Sandy Creek road in a converted garage, and God is moving. This Sunday, July 3, we will have a team from the Lighthouse church and Side Walk Sunday School, with a cookout afterwards. Free to all. Come and see what the Lord is doing and join by faith as we continue to Walk on Water!
