Our Mission
To walk alongside Pastors, mentoring and coaching them to develop a healthy Church that equips its members to love God and love their neighbor. (to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up of the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:12)
WHY LOVESERVES INTERNATIONAL?
3.23 billion people still don’t know who Jesus Christ is. Together, we can make a difference.
How did it start?
LoveServes International began as the AAVI – Asociación Aguas Vivientes, Inc. or the Living Waters Association, Inc. Our story started with the personal ministry work done by Martin Newby and Brent Whitehead.
Martin and Brent arrived in the Dominican Republic in 1982 and became involved with the country through clean water projects. They believed access to clean water and health education would improve the health and wellness of the people. As believers in Christ, they connected with the local church to not only improve access to drinking water, but also to the spiritual “living water”, (John 4:10) that only Jesus Christ can provide, so the Dominicans may “never need to drink again”.
After many years and many water projects, the Living Waters Association shifted focus to the spiritual aspect of their mission: living water. The LoveServes International name comes from Jesus’ example when He served the people He loved. (Mark 10:45 “The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve…”)

What we believe
We are a Christian charity organization taking his message to all nations.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God (2 Tim 3:15-17).
We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matt 28:19; Eph 4:4-6).
We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through his blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory (John 1:1-4; Matthew 1:12; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful men, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation (Titus 3:4-7; Luke 24:46-47; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Acts 4:12).
