Becky & Gib
I've been director of Living Water for 5 1/2 years. When I became director, Gib Welch & Herman Mos became my two biggest supporters. They both would come up alone on Wednesday mornings and get organized before the rest of the volunteers came up on Thursdays to bag groceries. They would sit down for a few minutes and drink a cup of coffee--and I started joining them for that cup of coffee. Soon, Herman began baking a loaf of banana nut bread and bringing it to go along with our coffee. (I didn't know for the longest that Herman was baking the bread. I'd tell him each week to thank Billie, his wife, for the bread!) It became such a special time. One day I realized that I had a wealth of wisdom sitting with me each Wednesday and I began picking their brains. I got input for this ministry. I asked life questions. And I fell in love with these guys. Herman went to be with the Lord a couple of years ago. But since then, lots of people have joined us for our Wednesday morning breakfasts. It's still my favorite morning of the week here at Living Water--eating something, drinking some coffee--but most of all fellowshipping with some of my favorite people in the world.
